Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment
At Mom's Helping Moms, we believe that sports betting should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. FanDuel sports betting is designed for fun and excitement, but it's important to gamble responsibly and within your means.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Sports betting in Canada is only legal for individuals who are 18 years of age or older (19+ in certain provinces). By using FanDuel, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your province or territory.
If you are under the legal gambling age, please do not participate in sports betting activities.
