RESPONSIBLE GAMING TIPS

Playing games online or on a mobile device should be fun, entertaining, and relaxing. It should be something you do with spare time and not consume significant portions of your day. When this activity is performed responsibly, individuals know their limits and are able to game sustainably and stop when they so choose. Here are some strategies and helpful tips to ensure that you are maintaining control of your gaming and actively building healthy habits: Track Your Playing Time Playing games online is intended to be a form of recreation and fun like other activities (e.g. – going to the movies, watching sports, exercising, or playing golf). It is not a full-time job or an all-consuming hobby. We recommend limiting your playing time by frequently taking breaks or by establishing a set window of time for online play. Pick a Spending Cap for Any Activity and Stick to It Like any activity, it is good to have a set budget and a budget that you can commit to on a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis. Only purchase Gold Coins if you can afford to spend that money. Please also note that you do not need to make purchases to participate. There are numerous ways to get or earn Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins and you should explore these options, including our Alternative Method of Entry program. See our Official Sweepstakes Rules for additional information. Focus on Having Fun The purpose of playing games is to have fun and relax. Playing games should not be for the purpose of winning prizes and it should not be to escape reality. As such, moderation is essential and if you find yourself no longer having fun, you should immediately stop. Keep play balanced by engaging in a variety of other fun activities and understanding how to play healthfully when feeling down or stressed out.

MANAGING YOUR ACTIVITY:

elitebettodds appreciates that sometimes it is difficult and challenging to limit your play or manage your budget. Accordingly, we are here to help. Our dedicated Support Team is available to answer any questions as well as place limitations on your account. If you would like assistance, please click here to submit a request directly to our Support Disable Purchasing If you would like to continue playing with only free coins, we are happy to disable your ability to purchase Gold Coins. Our Support Team can disable this permanently, or for specific pre-requested periods of time (weeks, months, or longer). You will still be able to play games with free coins, but this will ensure you are unable to spend any money on our website.  Temporarily Close Your Account If you feel that you just need a break from playing, we are more than happy to temporarily disable your account access. Your account will remain fully intact until a future time when we can re-open it for you. At the time of the request to temporarily close your account, we will require you to provide a future date or period of time before it can be re-opened, which will require your verified request at said time. We will not re-open your account prior to that date and we will not re-open it without a formal request from you. 

PERMANENT ACCOUNT CLOSURE:

If you would like your account to be permanently closed, our Support Team will close your account and note the closure as permanent. You will have up to 24 hours after submitting a permanent closure request to rescind and cancel the request, but after 24 hours that account is permanently closed and cannot be re-opened under any circumstances.  If at any time during a temporary account closure or after a permanent account closure you need information about your account, you may submit a request to our Support Team and a member of our team will work to provide you with the requested information, if available.
