Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Modern Mills, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your province) to participate in sports betting and gaming activities on FanDuel or any regulated gambling platform. We strictly enforce age verification to protect minors.
If you are under the legal age: Please do not attempt to create an account. Age verification is mandatory for account creation and deposits.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Feeling the need to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Frequent unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Experiencing irritability or anxiety when trying to cut back
- Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties or debt due to gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone else, it's time to reach out for support.
Self-Help Tools & Features
Most regulated gambling platforms, including FanDuel, offer built-in tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose during a set timeframe
- Betting Limits: Restrict the maximum wager per bet
- Reality Checks: Enable pop-up reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account (hours to days)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for an extended period (weeks to years)
Use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits. Your sportsbook should make these options easily accessible in your account settings.
