Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At United Transfer, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sports betting and online gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose and set strict limits on your spending before you play.
Age Verification
BetMGM Sports Betting Canada is available only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your province). By using our services, you confirm that you meet these legal requirements. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.
