Responsible Gaming

Introduction

At Hobby Henry, we believe that sweepstakes gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While our platform offers fun and excitement, it's important to remember that all games involve an element of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Play responsibly, set limits, and never gamble more than you can afford to lose.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes gaming on Hobby Henry. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and take this responsibility seriously. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do any of these signs apply to you? If so, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover money you've lost
• Gambling with money needed for bills, food, or other essentials
• Hiding your gambling activities from family, friends, or loved ones
• Spending increasing amounts of time or money on gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down or stop
• Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Neglecting work, school, family, or other important responsibilities
• Borrowing money or going into debt to finance gambling
• Failed attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling

Self-Help Tools

Take control of your gaming experience with these tools available to responsible players:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you're willing to spend per day, week, or month. Once reached, you cannot deposit more.
• Loss Limits: Establish a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a specified time period. Gaming will be suspended once this limit is reached.
• Reality Checks: Enable periodic notifications that remind you of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
• Self-Exclusion: Voluntarily exclude yourself from your account for a set period (ranging from days to years). During this time, you cannot access your account or place bets.
• Take a Break: Step away from gaming whenever you feel the need. There's no shame in taking time off.
