Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At AWM Montreal, we believe cryptocurrency gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember: the house always has an edge.
Age Verification
By using our website and accessing gambling services, you confirm that you are:
- At least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province), AND
- Legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction
Canada: The legal gambling age is 18 years in most provinces (19 in some provinces such as Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba). We do not permit access to anyone below the legal age in their province of residence.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in your behaviour, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
- ☐ Hiding or lying about your gambling activities to friends and family
- ☐ Spending more time or money on gambling than you intended
- ☐ Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to reduce gambling

- ☐ Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- ☐ Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities
- ☐ Failed attempts to cut back or control your gambling

If you recognize multiple warning signs, please seek help immediately.
