Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Sweepstakes casinos and online gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While games can be fun and exciting, it's important to remember that the odds always favor the house. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a way to make money or recover losses.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes casinos or any form of online gaming. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting minors. If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not use gaming platforms.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
