Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Fish Tales Seafood House, we believe sweepstakes gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While our games are fun and exciting, it's important to understand that the odds always favor the house, and losses are a natural part of gaming.

Please play responsibly and within your means. Set limits, stick to them, and remember: if gaming stops being fun, it's time to seek help.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your state) to participate in sweepstakes gaming on this website. We take underage gambling prevention seriously.

By accessing our platform, you certify that you are of legal age to gamble in your jurisdiction. We reserve the right to verify your age at any time.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be present:

• Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Hiding gambling: Keeping your gaming activity secret from friends or family
• Loss of control: Gambling longer or wagering more than intended
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
• Financial problems: Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
• Mood changes: Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression
