Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At The Resilience Bowl, we believe sweepstakes gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Understand the odds, play within your means, and remember that the house always has an edge. If you find yourself gambling to recover losses or relying on winnings for income, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes gaming. Some states may have different age requirements. We are committed to preventing access by minors and take age verification seriously.

If you are under the legal age in your jurisdiction, please do not participate.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these warning signs in your gaming habits?

• Chasing Losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding Your Gambling: Concealing the amount of time or money spent gaming from family or friends
• Loss of Control: Inability to stop gaming or stick to pre-set limits
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Prioritizing gaming over work, school, or family obligations
• Gambling with Borrowed Money: Using credit cards, loans, or other people's money to fund gaming
• Mood Changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to game
• Escalating Stakes: Needing to bet more money to achieve the same level of excitement
• Failed Attempts to Quit: Repeatedly trying and failing to reduce or stop gaming
• Using Gaming as an Escape: Turning to gaming to avoid stress, anxiety, or personal problems

If you identify with any of these signs, help is available.
