The safest thing you bring to any casino is your own limits. This page is not a formality.
If gambling is causing harm, help is free and confidential. The National Council on Problem Gambling helpline is 1-800-522-4700, available 24 hours, or text 800GAM.
Tools to set before you play
- A deposit limit, daily, weekly or monthly, because it acts before the bet.
- A session limit and reality-check reminders.
- Self-exclusion at the operator, which applies to that site only. Offshore sites are not linked to any US self-exclusion scheme, so closing one does not close the others.
Signals not to ignore
- Playing to win back a loss.
- Hiding how much you play.
- Using money meant for fixed expenses.
None is fixed by one more deposit. We never describe gambling as a way to make money; on our safest online casinos page the measure is the licence, the security and the tested payout, not the prize.
