Responsible gambling

If gambling has stopped being fun

The warning signs are consistent: chasing losses, gambling with money set aside for something else, hiding how much you play, borrowing to play, and needing to keep going to get even.

The National Problem Gambling Helpline answers 24 hours a day on 1-800-522-4700. It is free, confidential and available in every US state. Text and chat services run on the same number.

Why state self-exclusion will not cover an offshore operator

State self-exclusion schemes bind operators licensed in that state. The operator covered on this site is not one of them, so an exclusion registered with a regulated US sportsbook or casino will not stop you opening an account with it.

The tools that do reach offshore sites are blocking software installed on your own devices and a bank gambling block, which most US banks and card issuers now offer and which refuses gambling merchant codes at source. Using both is far more effective than either alone, because one closes the site and the other closes the payment.
