Stay in control.
Responsible play
Sweepstakes casinos are entertainment. These tools and habits help keep them that way, and help is available if play stops being fun.
Habits that help
- Decide your budget before you play. Buying Gold Coins is optional. If you do, choose a monthly amount you're comfortable spending on entertainment and stick to it.
- Play for fun, not for money. Treat any prize as a bonus. Never play to win back what you've spent.
- Watch the clock. Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
- Don't play when you're stressed, upset or have been drinking.
- Keep it adult. Sweepstakes casinos are for adults only. Never let anyone under age use your account or device.
Tools operators offer
Most sweepstakes casinos let you set some of the following in your account settings, or ask support to set them for you. What's available varies by operator.
- Purchase limits that cap how much you can spend on Gold Coins in a day, week or month.
- Session reminders that tell you how long you've been playing.
- Cool-off periods that lock your account for a short time.
- Self-exclusion that closes your account for a longer period or permanently.
Signs play may be becoming a problem
- Spending more money or time than you planned, or hiding it from others.
- Buying coins to try to win back money you've already spent.
- Borrowing money, or missing bills, to keep playing.
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not playing.
