At Pickswise, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling and ensuring our users have the tools and resources they need to gamble safely.
Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Treat it as entertainment, not a way to make money. Set strict budgets and stick to them.
Remember that gambling should be for entertainment purposes only. Don’t rely on it as a way to pay bills or make a living. The house always has an edge.
Before you start gambling, decide how much money and time you can afford to spend. Once you reach those limits, stop. Don’t chase your losses.
Alcohol impairs judgment. Never place bets while under the influence as this can lead to poor decisions and increased losses.
Be aware of the signs of problem gambling. If you feel you’re losing control, seek help immediately. There are many resources available.
Self-exclusion allows you to ban yourself from a given sportsbook or casino for a set period of time. While you can choose the period of time you would like to be excluded for, the minimum is usually 6 months to 1 year. Players who choose this option cannot be reinstated until after the chosen time period has elapsed.
Time Outs and Cool-Off Periods are similar to Self-Exclusion, but last for a shorter period of time. The minimum amount of time for these breaks can vary from a few days to a month, depending on the sportsbook or casino.
As a sportsbook/casino user, you can set limits on everything from your Deposit amount, Spending amount, Single Wager amount, or time spent on the platform. If you wish to make any changes to limits that you set, you will have to wait until the previous limit expires.
