Responsible Gambling
Sports betting should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape stress. You must be 21 or older to bet on sports in Indiana. If the fun stops, help is available and it is free.
Need help now? Call the Indiana Problem Gambling Awareness helpline at 1-800-9-WITH-IT (1-800-994-8448) or the national helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER. Both are confidential and available 24/7.

Tools That Keep Betting Safe
- Deposit limits: Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap before you play.
