When it stops being fun
Sweepstakes play costs nothing to enter and nothing to walk away from. If it has started costing you something else, this is the page that matters.

Six worth taking seriously
Buying coin packages you had not planned to buy, more often than you meant to.
Playing to win back a losing run rather than because you wanted to play.
Being vague with people close to you about how long you played or what you spent.
Play pushing out sleep, work, or time with people.
Feeling restless or short-tempered when you cannot play.
Thinking of payouts as income rather than as prizes.
Before you need them
Every casino in this listing offers purchase limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and permanent self-exclusion. They sit in account settings, usually under responsible play, and none of them asks you to justify yourself.
Self-exclusion at one casino does not carry to another. If you exclude, exclude everywhere you hold an account on the same day, while the decision still feels clear.
Blocking software (Gamban, BetBlocker and GamBlock) covers sweepstakes sites as well as real-money ones and works at the device level, which is much harder to undo in a weak moment than a setting inside an account.
Free, confidential, 24 hours
