Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At MBC Means Business, we believe that sweepstakes casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Gambling outcomes are based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical edge. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and never gamble as a solution to financial difficulties.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your state, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes casinos. Some states have higher age requirements. It is illegal for anyone under the legal gambling age to participate in gambling activities. If you are underage, please do not use these services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help immediately:
- Chasing losses: Returning to gamble to recover money you've lost
- Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about the amount of time or money spent gambling
- Increasing stakes: Needing to gamble with more money to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, family obligations, or social events due to gambling
- Borrowing to gamble: Using loans, credit cards, or asking others for money to gamble
- Mood swings: Becoming irritable or anxious when unable to gamble
- Financial strain: Having difficulty paying bills or managing debt due to gambling
- Jeopardized relationships: Relationships suffering because of gambling behavior
- Escape gambling: Gambling to avoid problems or relieve stress, anxiety, or depression
Self-Help Tools & Resources
Many sweepstakes casino platforms and gambling sites offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose before stopping play
- Session Time Limits: Set reminders and automatic logouts after a certain amount of time
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic notifications during gameplay reminding you of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gambling for a set period (days, months, or years)
Take advantage of these tools on any platform you use, and consider speaking with a counselor if gambling is becoming difficult to control.
