Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means and set limits before you start. If gambling stops being fun, it’s time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal gambling age required by your state or local jurisdiction in the US, to participate in any gambling activity. We encourage all users to verify their age and comply with local laws. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Lying about time or money spent gambling
- Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essentials
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
Many gambling sites offer tools to help you stay in control. Consider using these options if they are available on the platform you use:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month.
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose within a set time period.
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from accessing gambling sites for a chosen period — from months to permanent.
