Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

Sports betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. At Mythos Greek Taverna, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our community's wellbeing.

Remember: the house always has an edge. Only bet what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Age Verification

Sports betting in Canada is restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in British Columbia, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan). We take age verification seriously and verify all users during account registration.

If you are under the legal gambling age in your province, please do not attempt to register or place bets. Sports betting is not for you.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know?

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Thinking about gambling constantly or planning your next bet
• Needing to bet more money to get the same excitement
• Trying to hide your gambling from family, friends, or loved ones
• Chasing losses by betting more to recover money lost
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Neglecting work, school, family, or hobbies due to gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Experiencing relationship conflicts because of your gambling

If you've experienced three or more of these signs in the past 12 months, you may be developing a gambling problem. Help is available.

Self-Help Tools & Limits

Most responsible sportsbooks offer tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Cap the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a set timeframe
• Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum stake per bet
• Reality Checks: Receive notifications during gaming sessions to remind you how long you've been playing
• Time-Out: Take a break from your account for a set period (days to months)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently close your account and exclude yourself from all gambling activities

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. They're not a sign of weakness—they're a sign of taking control of your gaming habits.
