Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Sports betting and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. It is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
FanDuel Sports Betting is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada. Some provinces may have different legal age requirements. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet all local legal requirements before placing any bets.
