Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At We Are Coyote, we believe that gambling should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to a movie or concert. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The house always has a mathematical advantage, and you should only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
All users must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in their province/territory) to participate in online gambling in Canada. By using our website, you confirm that you meet this requirement.
If you are under the legal age, please do not access betting sites or place wagers. Gambling at an underage age can lead to serious harm.

- Irritability when unable to gamble: Feeling anxious or irritable when you can't access gambling
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gambling Features
Many online betting sites offer tools to help you maintain control over your gambling. These include:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Period: Take a break from gambling for a set period (e.g., 24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from betting sites for an extended period (typically 6 months to 5 years)
- Account Closure: Permanently close your account
We encourage you to use these tools proactively to maintain healthy gambling habits.
