Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you:

Bet more than you can afford to lose
Chase losses by placing more bets
Lie to family or friends about gambling
Feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling
Use gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve stress
Borrow money or sell possessions to fund gambling

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Set a strict budget before you start and never exceed it
Treat gambling as entertainment, not a source of income
Never gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Take regular breaks and set time limits
Never chase losses — accept them as the cost of entertainment
Use self-exclusion tools offered by sportsbooks if needed

Age Restriction

Sports betting is restricted to adults aged 21 and older in most U.S. jurisdictions. It is illegal for minors to gamble. If you are under 21, please leave this site.
