Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Total Ashlee, we're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sweepstakes casinos and online gaming should only be viewed as a form of entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (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 minors to gamble. By using our website and accessing any sweepstakes casino, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be present:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, utilities)
• Hiding gambling activity or lying about the amount of time or money spent
• Experiencing relationship problems due to gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to cut back or quit
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve excitement
• Unsuccessfully attempting to stop or reduce gambling
• Using gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other responsibilities

Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features

Many sweepstakes casinos offer built-in tools to help you maintain control of your gaming. Consider using:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose during a gaming session
• Reality Checks: Enable periodic reminders during your gaming sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
• Self-Exclusion: Take a voluntary break from gaming for a specified period or permanently
• Session Time Limits: Set an automatic cutoff for how long you can play

Check with individual sweepstakes casinos to learn which tools they offer and how to enable them.
