Responsible Gaming

Play Within Your Limits

Sweepstakes casinos and lottery games are entertainment. They should never be used as a source of income or to recover financial losses. Set a budget before you play and stick to it.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

• Spending more than you can afford
• Chasing losses
• Gambling to escape stress or anxiety
• Lying to friends or family about gambling
• Neglecting responsibilities because of gambling
• Feeling unable to stop

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most licensed platforms offer self-exclusion — a voluntary ban from the site. Use these tools if you need a break:

• National Self-Exclusion: Gamban.com — blocks gambling sites on all your devices
• State programs: Most regulated states (NJ, PA, MI, WV) have voluntary exclusion programs through their gaming control boards
• Individual operators: Contact each casino or sportsbook directly to request self-exclusion
