Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At BB T College, we believe that cryptocurrency gambling and sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Remember: The house always has an edge. Play only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Gambling is only legal for individuals who are 18 years of age or older in Canada, or the legal gambling age in your province or territory.
BB T College is committed to preventing underage gambling. All users must verify their age during registration. We do not knowingly permit access to anyone under the legal gambling age.

- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
