Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Media Fountain, we believe that crypto betting and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we strive to provide an engaging platform, it's important to understand that all forms of gambling carry risk. The house always has an edge, and losses are always possible.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In Canada, you must be at least 18 years of age (or the applicable legal age in your province) to use our platform and participate in crypto betting activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and verify the age of all users during registration.
If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services. If you discover that an underage person is using this platform, please contact us immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please be honest with yourself and watch for these warning signs:
- Chasing losses: Gambling more money to recover previous losses
- Loss of control: Being unable to stop or reduce gambling activity
- Hiding gambling activity: Keeping your gambling secret from family or friends
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Emotional dependency: Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
- Increasing stakes: Needing to bet more money to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to stop or reduce gambling
- Relationship conflict: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling habits
- Physical symptoms: Sleep problems, anxiety, or irritability when not gambling
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help.
Self-Help Tools and Controls
Media Fountain is committed to providing tools that help you maintain control over your gaming activity:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before taking a break

- Reality Checks: Pop-up messages reminding you of how much time and money you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account, preventing access for a set period
