Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

Sweepstakes casinos are designed for entertainment purposes only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage, and outcomes are determined by chance.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state, if higher) to participate in sweepstakes casinos. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate. Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss responsible gaming with younger family members.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount of time spent gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or quit
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
• Continuing to gamble despite financial, legal, or personal problems
• Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling habits

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Most reputable gaming platforms offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to lose
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
• Session Time Limits: Set automatic breaks or session duration limits
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from a gaming platform
• Account Restrictions: Disable certain features or limit access to your account

Take advantage of these tools to help manage your gaming activity responsibly.
