Responsible Gambling
Sweepstakes casinos are designed for entertainment. While no real-money gambling occurs under the sweepstakes model — play uses virtual currencies under a promotional structure — it's important to play responsibly.
Play in Control
- Set time limits before you start playing and stick to them.
- Never play to escape problems, stress, or boredom.
- Take regular breaks — step away from the screen at least once per hour.
- Track your spending — even though sweepstakes casinos are free to play, optional purchases can add up.
- Keep it fun — if playing stops being enjoyable, stop playing.
