Responsible Gaming

PrizePicks is committed to offering a safe, fair, and supportive environment for adult players. Playing should feel enjoyable and manageable - a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial challenges.

This page shares practical ways to stay in control, signs that play may be drifting from fun to stressful, and the types of account tools and support options that can help. If you ever feel like your play is getting harder to manage, you are not alone, and help is available.

What safer play means in everyday terms

Safer play is about balance and awareness. It means making informed choices, setting boundaries that fit your lifestyle, and keeping your activity within what you can comfortably afford - in both time and money.

Healthy gaming habits look different for everyone, but the goal is the same: PrizePicks should fit into your day, not take it over. If it stops feeling light, optional, and entertaining, it is a sign to pause and reassess.

How PrizePicks supports player protection

PrizePicks takes player protection seriously. Our approach is built around helping players make informed decisions and making support options easy to find when they are needed.

That includes focusing on:

• Clear information about gameplay and promotions so you can make choices you understand
• Account controls designed to help you set boundaries and stick to them
• Encouragement to take early action if playing starts to feel stressful or hard to control
• A support team you can reach when you have questions about your account or need help navigating available options (email: support@prizepicks.com )

PrizePicks is a daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform. Whether you play occasionally or check the board daily, the same principle applies: stay within limits that feel comfortable and sustainable.

Practical habits that keep you in control

Small, consistent habits can do a lot to keep gameplay healthy. Consider building a routine that makes your boundaries clear before you place a lineup.

Helpful guardrails include setting a budget and a time window in advance. Decide what you are comfortable spending and how long you want to play, then stop when you reach that limit - even if you feel tempted to keep going.

It also helps to take breaks on purpose. A short pause can reset your mindset and prevent impulsive choices.

Other habits that make a real difference:

• Keep gameplay separate from essentials like rent, bills, food, and savings
• Avoid playing when you feel upset, stressed, tired, or under the influence
• Treat wins and losses as part of entertainment, not a financial strategy
• Never chase losses by increasing entries or trying to “get back” to even
• Review your recent activity from time to time so nothing sneaks up on you

If you are using time-limited promotions, give yourself an extra moment to check in. A promo should not override your budget or push you into entries you would not normally make.

Warning signs that it may be time to pause

It can be hard to notice when entertainment starts to feel like pressure. Paying attention to early signals can help you take action before things feel overwhelming.

Common signs include spending more than you planned, playing longer than intended, or feeling a strong urge to immediately win back losses. You might also notice you are thinking about lineups constantly, or that playing is starting to distract from work, sleep, relationships, or other responsibilities.

Emotional signs matter too. Feeling anxious, guilty, irritable, or secretive about your play can be a clue that it is no longer purely enjoyable. Financial stress is another red flag - for example, borrowing money to keep playing or using funds that were meant for essentials.

If any of these sound familiar, consider taking a break and reaching out for support. Early action is often the easiest action.

Account tools that help you set boundaries

Many players find it easier to stay in control when limits are built into the account experience. Depending on your location and account settings, common protection tools may include options such as deposit limits, gameplay limits, or reminders that help you track time and spending.

In general, these tools are designed to help you:

• Cap how much you can add to your account in a set period (deposit limits)
• Limit activity by session length or scheduled reminders (session limits and time alerts)
• Review recent transactions and play history to stay aware of patterns (account history)

If you are not sure what tools are available to you, or you want help making changes to your account, contact support at support@prizepicks.com. You can also visit the PrizePicks FAQ for general account guidance.

Time-out breaks and self-exclusion options

Taking a break is a smart, practical choice - not a punishment. If you feel like you need breathing room, you may be able to use a cooling-off option that restricts access for a short period. This can help if you are feeling tilted, stressed, or simply want a reset.

Self-exclusion is a longer, more structured option. It is intended for players who feel they need an extended break from play. The goal is to make it easier to step away and reduce the temptation to return before you are ready.

If you are considering either option and want help choosing what fits your situation, PrizePicks support can guide you through what is available for your account and jurisdiction.

Adults only: age restrictions and underage prevention

PrizePicks is for adults only. Underage play is not permitted.

To help prevent underage access, PrizePicks may use age and identity checks during registration or account verification, and may request documentation when needed. If you share devices with family members, consider using device-level controls and keeping your login details private.

Support when play stops feeling manageable

If playing no longer feels fun, or you feel like you are losing control, reaching out can help - and it does not have to be a big moment. You can start by talking to someone you trust, taking a break, and using account limits to create space.

You can also contact PrizePicks support at support@prizepicks.com if you need help with account tools, breaks, or general questions.

If you feel overwhelmed, consider speaking with a qualified professional. Support is not only for crises - it can be useful anytime you want help getting back to healthier habits.

Finding trusted resources in your area

Support options vary by location, so the best next step is to look for licensed, well-known services where you live. Many regions offer:

• Government-backed responsible play programs
• National or local counseling services for gambling-related concerns
• Mental health professionals with experience in behavioral addictions
• Community support groups

If you are unsure where to start, a primary care provider or local mental health clinic can often point you to appropriate services.

Shared responsibility: what we do, and what you can do

PrizePicks can provide information, account controls, and access restrictions, but lasting control also comes from the choices you make day to day. Using limits honestly, checking in with yourself, and taking breaks when needed are powerful ways to protect your time, money, and peace of mind.

Keeping play healthy is not about perfection. It is about staying aware, using the tools available, and asking for help early if things start to feel off.

Gambling should remain a form of entertainment - something you choose, enjoy, and can comfortably step away from. If you ever need support, you deserve a clear path to it, and PrizePicks is here to help you find that path.
