Responsible Gaming
Our Mission
At PollMarketplace, we prioritize creating a secure, balanced, and entertaining gaming atmosphere for everyone. Gaming should center around enjoyment, entertainment, and leisure — never stress or compulsion. We aim to empower each player to maintain control, make smart choices, and experience gaming in a positive way.
Age Requirements
Players must be at least 19 years old and based in Canada to use PollMarketplace. We enforce strict age verification through sophisticated technology and thorough ID validation to block underage entry. We strongly oppose and forbid anyone under the legal age limit from accessing our platform.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Gaming is designed for entertainment, but it becomes problematic when it interferes with daily life. You might be facing gambling difficulties if you:
-
Spend more time or money than planned.
-
Chase losses or gamble to win back what you’ve lost.
-
Neglect family, work, or personal commitments.
-
Borrow money to continue playing.
-
Feel anxious, guilty, or frustrated due to gambling.
-
Have frequent arguments about your gaming habits.
Recognizing these signs early can help you take control before gambling becomes harmful.
