Responsible Gambling

Fantasy Gaming is for Entertainment

Fantasy sports should always be viewed as entertainment, not as a way to make money. While fantasy sports can be exciting and engaging, it's important to approach it with the right mindset:

• Play for fun and enjoyment, not as a financial strategy
• Set a budget for any paid fantasy leagues and stick to it
• Never chase losses or spend more than you can afford to lose
• Balance fantasy sports with other hobbies and activities

Remember that outcomes in fantasy sports, like real sports, are unpredictable. No strategy guarantees success, and the primary goal should always be enjoyment of the game.

Recognizing Problem Behavior

For some people, fantasy sports and gambling can develop into problematic behavior patterns. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step to maintaining healthy habits:

• Spending more time or money than intended
• Feeling irritable or restless when unable to play
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Lying to friends or family about gaming habits
• Using fantasy sports as an escape from problems
• Chasing losses with increased participation

If you recognize these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek support and reassess your relationship with fantasy sports and gambling.

Setting Healthy Limits

Establishing boundaries is essential for maintaining a healthy relationship with fantasy sports and gambling:

• Set strict time limits for fantasy sports activities
• Establish a budget and track all spending
• Use self-exclusion tools when needed
• Take regular breaks from fantasy sports
• Don't play when feeling stressed, depressed, or under the influence
• Maintain balance with other hobbies and social activities

At TrueNorthFantasy, we provide tools to help you maintain these boundaries, including time and deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and regular reminders to take breaks.
