At DraftKings, we believe that life is more fun with skin in the game and we want it to stay that way. That’s the significance of safer play. It’s important to remember that you should only bet what you can afford and always set reasonable limits for yourself. From the second you open your account to the moment you collect your winnings, our number one priority is to make sure you’re playing safely and responsibly.

\n

We provide our players with tools to set budgets, limits, and cool-off periods, and always give you the option to self-exclude. Stay informed and learn the details of the games you’re playing. If, for any reason, you feel like you need help, we strongly encourage you to contact your local responsible gaming organizations.
