Tips for Gaming Responsibly in Daily Fantasy Sports

Set a budget: Determine how much money you are comfortable spending on DFS and stick to that budget. Avoid chasing losses or increasing your budget once it is depleted.
Set time limits: Allocate a specific amount of time for DFS and stick to it. This prevents excessive play and allows you to engage in other activities.
Educate yourself: Understand the games you are playing and the rules. This knowledge will help you make informed decisions.
Take breaks: Regularly take breaks during your sessions to reassess your emotions and mindset. This helps prevent impulsive decisions and allows you to maintain control over your playing habits.

Most importantly, Athstat is working to ensure that all players have the support and resources that they need to minimize any problems that may arise from their play, including the following features that will be rolled out in 2024:

Setting Daily Fantasy Sports Limits and Sticking to Them

Setting limits is a crucial aspect of responsible gaming. By establishing both financial and time limits, you can safeguard your experience and prevent excessive play. Financial limits involve determining the maximum amount of money you are willing and able to spend. Time limits, on the other hand, refer to the duration of your sessions. It is important to set realistic limits and stick to them to ensure that play remains a form of entertainment and does not become harmful.

Signs of Problem Gaming

It is essential to be aware of the signs of problem play to promote responsible gaming and intervene when necessary. Remember, you are not alone, help and hope exist. Some common signs include:

Increasing time and money spent on gaming: When play starts to take up a significant portion of your time and financial resources, it may be a sign of a problem.
Neglecting responsibilities: If play begins to interfere with your daily life and responsibilities, such as work, relationships, or personal hygiene, it is a cause for concern.
Chasing losses: Continuously trying to recoup losses by playing more can indicate a problem. It is crucial to recognize that play should not be seen as a way to make money but rather as a form of entertainment.
Borrowing money to play: If you find yourself borrowing money or taking out loans to fund your playing activities, it is a clear warning sign that your playing habits are becoming problematic.
Hiding gaming activities: Feeling the need to hide your playing habits from loved ones or being dishonest about the extent of your play may indicate a problem.
