Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Galactic Ubees, 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. While sweepstakes games can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach them with realistic expectations and responsible habits.

Remember: the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits on your time and spending.

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 casino gaming. Some states have higher age requirements. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to gamble online or in-person.

Parents and guardians: If you're concerned about a minor's access to gaming sites, consider using parental controls and monitoring tools on your devices.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Review this checklist and seek help if you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or a loved one:

  • Constantly thinking about gambling or past gaming sessions
  • Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to feel excitement
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling, without success
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce gambling
  • Gambling to escape problems, relieve stress, or deal with negative emotions
  • "Chasing losses"—gambling more to recover money you've lost
  • Lying to family, friends, or others about the extent of your gambling
  • Jeopardizing relationships, job, or educational opportunities due to gambling
  • Asking others for money to cover gambling losses
  • Experiencing financial problems or taking on debt because of gambling
  • Hiding gambling activity or keeping gambling secret

If you've checked any of these boxes, help is available.
