Responsible Gaming

Last updated: December 28, 2024

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Fantasy Sports Empire, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While we provide educational content about daily fantasy sports, we recognize that DFS involves financial risk and want to ensure all participants play responsibly.

Remember: Daily fantasy sports should be fun and entertaining. Never risk more money than you can afford to lose.

Responsible Play Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure your DFS participation remains enjoyable and within your means:

Financial Guidelines

  • Set a budget before you start playing and stick to it
  • Only use money you can afford to lose
  • Never chase losses with bigger bets
  • Keep track of your spending and winnings
  • Don't borrow money to play fantasy sports

Time Management

  • Set time limits for research and contest entry
  • Don't let DFS interfere with work, family, or social obligations
  • Take regular breaks from playing
  • Maintain a balanced lifestyle

Emotional Well-being

  • Play for entertainment, not as a way to make money
  • Don't play when upset, stressed, or under the influence
  • Accept that losses are part of the game
  • Celebrate wins responsibly
