Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Care Partner Radio, we believe that sweepstakes casinos should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Verification

All sweepstakes casinos and gambling activities are restricted to individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your state, whichever is greater). By accessing any sweepstakes casino through our links, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirements in your jurisdiction.

Parents and Guardians: If you are concerned about a minor's access to gambling content, please use parental controls and monitoring software.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

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

• Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover what you've lost
• Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of your gambling
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities, medication)
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success
• Using gambling as an escape from problems, stress, or difficult emotions
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
• Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, help is available.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable sweepstakes casinos offer responsible gaming tools to help you maintain control:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose before you stop playing.
• Reality Checks: Enable notifications that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
• Time Limits: Set time restrictions on your gaming sessions.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing a casino platform if you feel you are losing control.

We encourage you to use these tools proactively. Take responsibility for your gaming habits and adjust your limits as needed.
