Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At Telluride Farmers Market Sweepstakes Casino, we believe gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Sweepstakes and casino games are games of chance and should never be viewed as a way to earn money, pay bills, or solve financial problems. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and set strict limits before you begin.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your state) to participate in sweepstakes casino games. Some states may have higher age requirements. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. By using our platform, you confirm that you meet or exceed the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling
• Repeatedly trying and failing to control, cut back, or stop gambling
• Chasing losses by gambling more to try to recover lost money
• Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of gambling
• Jeopardizing relationships, job, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
• Relying on others to provide money to cover gambling losses
• Gambling as an escape from problems or negative emotions
• Experiencing mood swings or anxiety related to gambling
• Neglecting personal, family, or professional responsibilities
