Responsible Gaming
Betting should always be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. If it stops being fun, help is available, free, confidential, and 24/7.
National Problem Gambling Helpline
Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER, available 24/7 across most U.S. states. Free and confidential support, referrals, and resources.
National Council on Problem Gambling
The NCPG offers a national network of support and information at ncpgambling.org.
Signs to watch for
Warning signs can include betting more than you can afford to lose, chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, or letting betting interfere with work, sleep, or relationships. If any of these feel familiar, consider reaching out.
Tools that can help
Most licensed operators offer deposit limits, time limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion. Many states also run their own voluntary self-exclusion programs through their regulator. These tools are there to help you stay in control.
