Responsible Gaming
At iaequipe98.ca, we believe sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Betting should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and supporting our players' wellbeing.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in some provinces). By using iaequipe98.ca, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your province or territory. We reserve the right to verify your age at any time.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not use this site.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or using credit to fund gambling activities
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)

- Gambling to escape problems or relieve stress or negative emotions
- Increasing bet amounts to achieve the same level of excitement
- Experiencing mood swings or depression related to gambling outcomes
