If you're using sweepstakes sites to recover money lost elsewhere, or if play is affecting your relationships, finances, or time, please use the hotline above before signing up for another operator.

Responsible-play principles for sweepstakes sites

Set a purchase budget before you sign up, not after you've already spent.
Use every operator's built-in deposit and play-time limits. If a site you're on doesn't have them, that alone is a red flag.
Sweepstakes casinos are entertainment, not income. If you're playing to recover losses, stop and use the resources below.
Track how much time you spend, not just how much money. Time is usually the earlier warning sign.
If someone you live with asks you to stop, treat that as useful data. They see patterns you may not.
