Responsible Gaming
Last updated June 21, 2026
Sweepstakes play is entertainment, not a way to make money. The vast majority of players enjoy it safely, but it is important to stay in control. This page covers the tools that help you do that and the free, confidential resources available if play stops being fun.
Keep it fun
Treat coins as the cost of entertainment, the same way you would a movie ticket. Only play with what you are comfortable spending, set a time and budget before you start, and never chase losses or play to recover money. If a session stops being enjoyable, take a break.
Player-protection tools
Most sweepstakes casinos build responsible-play tools directly into account settings. Use them from day one:
- Deposit, spend and time limits to cap your activity
- Session reminders and time-outs for a short cooling-off period
- Self-exclusion to close access for a set period or permanently
Warning signs
It may be time to step back if you notice any of these:
- Spending more time or money than you intended
- Playing to escape stress, boredom or low mood
- Chasing losses or trying to win back what you spent
- Hiding your play from family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty about playing
Free, confidential help
If you or someone you know needs support, these resources are free and available to everyone:
- National Problem Gambling Helpline: call or text 1-800-522-4700, available 24/7 (National Council on Problem Gambling).
