Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At Physicians Express Care, we believe that sweepstakes casino gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Sweepstakes casinos are games of chance and should never be viewed as a way to earn money, solve financial problems, or generate income. Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
Sweepstakes casino gaming is only for individuals who are 18 years of age or older (or the legal age of majority in your state, whichever is higher). We are committed to preventing underage gaming and take strict measures to verify the age of all participants. If you are under the legal age to participate, please do not engage in any gaming activities on our affiliated platforms.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Do you recognize any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you know? Problem gambling can develop gradually. Be honest with yourself and seek help if you experience any of the following:
- Constantly thinking about gaming or past gaming sessions
- Needing to spend increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gaming without success
- Feeling restless or irritable when attempting to reduce gaming
- Gaming to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or negative emotions
- "Chasing losses" by returning another day to recover money lost
- Lying to family, friends, or healthcare providers about the extent of your gaming
- Jeopardizing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gaming
- Relying on others to provide money to cover gaming losses
- Experiencing financial problems as a result of gaming (debt, inability to pay bills)
Self-Help Tools & Player Protection Features
Most reputable sweepstakes casino platforms offer the following responsible gaming tools. We encourage you to use these features to maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specified timeframe
- Session Time Limits: Automatically log out after a set period of gaming activity
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders about how long you've been gaming and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from gaming platforms for a defined period (days, weeks, months, or permanently)
Take advantage of these tools on any affiliated sweepstakes casino platform you use. Your responsible gaming is our priority.
