Responsible play
Sweepstakes play is free to enter and costs nothing to leave. If it has started to cost you something else, this page is the useful part of the site.
If you need it today

Six
Buying coin packages you had not planned to buy, more often than you meant to.
Playing to recover a losing session rather than because you wanted to play.
Hiding how long you play, or how much you have spent, from people close to you.
Play pushing out sleep, work, or time with people.
Irritability or restlessness when you cannot play.
Treating a redemption as income rather than as a prize.
Use them early
Every operator in this ledger offers purchase limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and permanent self-exclusion. These are in account settings, usually under responsible play, and none of them requires you to explain yourself.
Self-exclusion at one operator does not carry to another. If you exclude, exclude everywhere you hold an account, on the same day, while the decision is fresh.
Blocking software — Gamban, BetBlocker, GamBlock — covers sweepstakes sites as well as real-money ones and works at the device level, which is harder to undo in a weak moment than an account setting.
