There's no law restricting you from gambling and windfall income from gambling related activities are tax free. The real question - is this the right thing to do given a student on limited income as is.

Concentrate on your studies and don't waste your parents money

When I was studying, I also sometimes bet, but very rarely and wisely, realizing that it is more entertainment than a way to earn money. The main thing is not to treat bets as a source of income. I recently read on https://www.chatsports.com/nfl/a/how-bet-nfl-games-42670 about how to bet on NFL games. This article helped me a little. If you decide to try, it is important to choose reliable platforms. But studying should remain a priority.

There is no law in Canada that prohibits students from betting, even if they are not eligible to work.
