Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At martintutorial.com, we believe sweepstakes casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and set limits before you play.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your state (whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes casino gaming. Some states have higher age requirements. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble. Parents and guardians should monitor their children's online activity and use parental controls to prevent underage access to gaming sites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you experience any of the following signs, you may have a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money you've lost
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money you spend gambling
• Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities, medication)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or social obligations due to gambling
• Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to control or reduce gambling
• Gambling as a way to escape problems or negative emotions
• Risking important relationships, job opportunities, or educational goals
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement

If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, it's important to seek help immediately.
