Overview

For more information about DraftKings commitment to Responsible Gaming click HERE.

DraftKings is innovating the daily fantasy sports industry and enriching sports experiences worldwide. Our fair and responsible contest line-up ensures every user can play within their financial means. DraftKings is committed to integrity, fairness and reliability. We do everything possible to prevent gaming-related problems. We’ve developed measures to maintain a responsible, safe and reliable place for online gaming.

DraftKings offers the options to self-exclude and self limit. If, at any point, you think you're spending too much time or money on DraftKings, you have the option of taking a break from DraftKings entirely. Self-limiting allows you to still play, however, within the parameters that you set for yourself. To learn more view our FAQ page.

Consumers located in Connecticut who enter fantasy contests while self-excluded will not be allowed to collect any winnings or prizes from any contest entered after the consumer has self-excluded.

Options to Limit Play:

DraftKings also provides options to limit the amount of funds you can deposit into your account by choosing an amount over a daily, weekly and monthly period. If you have an account you can view more details about the deposit limit options here.
