Responsible gambling resources for US players — 1-800-GAMBLER, NCPG, state helplines, deposit limits and self-exclusion.

Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. If it stops being fun, help is free and confidential.

National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-GAMBLER — call or text, 24/7. Chat and resources at ncpgambling.org.

Warning signs

Betting more than you can afford to lose
Chasing losses
Borrowing money to gamble
Gambling to escape stress
Lying about how much you gamble

Tools you control

Every casino we list offers deposit limits, loss limits, session cool-offs and self-exclusion inside your account settings — use them proactively. Important: offshore operators are not part of any US state self-exclusion program (like New Jersey's or Pennsylvania's), so state self-exclusion will not block them. You must set limits and self-exclude on each site directly.

California: 1-800-GAMBLER

Responsible gambling & getting help

Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money, and you must be 21+ (18+ where permitted). Set deposit and time limits and only play with money you can afford to lose. Every operator listed is licensed offshore and is not part of any US state self-exclusion program — use each site's own limit and self-exclusion tools.
