Protection of Minors

LiveSponsors does not allow minors under 21 to create an account. Participation of minors in gambling-related activities is not permitted by law.

Our site was not designed to attract children or adolescents. We discourage and track individuals under 21 who attempt to register on our site.

However, we recognize that the Internet is easily accessible worldwide. As a result, gaming companies and families must work together to protect children from gambling. To ensure the safety of your children, we recommend installing filtering software to prevent minors from accessing certain sites and programs.

Responsible Gaming Guides

When playing, remember the following:

You are buying entertainment, not investing money.
Before playing, set limits on how much time and money you can spend.
Quit while you're ahead.
Only play with money you can afford to lose - never put your financial balance or family at risk.
Do not spend more money on gaming in the hope of recovering lost money - e.g.: DO NOT chase losses.
Maintain your interests and hobbies - do not let gaming dominate your life.
Do not play to escape stress or boredom.
There is no problem in playing in moderation.

Identifying a Gambling Problem

If you feel that your gaming activity is affecting your life in any way, please take some time to reflect on some of the questions below:

Do you play to escape a stressful and boring life?
Do you play until you lose all your money?
If you lose, do you feel the need to bet as soon as possible to recover your losses?
Do you feel restless and anxious when you're not playing?
Do you feel out of control of your gaming activity?
Do you feel ashamed about the time and money you spend on gaming?
Does gaming cause you depression or suicidal thoughts?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, it means you may have or be developing a gambling problem.
