Keeping it entertainment
Sweepstakes casinos are meant to be fun. Here is how to notice when they stop being fun, the tools every casino provides, and where to find free help today.

Things to watch for in yourself
Buying to win back
Purchasing coin packages to recover Sweepstakes Coins already lost rather than for play.
Keeping it quiet
Not telling the people close to you how much time or money is going in.
Counting on prizes
Planning spending around redemptions, or feeling a session has to produce one.
Playing to feel different
Logging in because you are stressed, low or bored rather than because you want to play.
Built into every casino on this site
Purchase limits cap coin packages per day, week or month and are enforced by the casino once set.
Reminders pop up after a chosen length of play.
Time-outs lock you out for a day to a few weeks.
Self-exclusion closes the account for a long or permanent period and is not reversed on request. Ask support; it is applied the same day.
The simplest habit: set a purchase limit before you need one. The free routes, daily bonuses and the postal entry, are always there.
Keeping accounts away from anyone under age
Sweepstakes casinos are for adults only, 18 or 21 depending on the casino and the state. Lock your devices, use the parental controls on phones and browsers, and never lend a verified account. Casinos close accounts found in use by anyone under age, and verification exists partly to make that possible.
