Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Reno Open Studios, we believe that sweepstakes gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only—never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal age of majority in your state) to participate in sweepstakes gaming on renoopenstudios.org. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and maintaining a safe gaming environment for all players.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, problem gambling may be present:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about time and money spent
- Difficulty controlling the urge to gamble
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Neglecting family, work, school, or other important responsibilities
- Experiencing mood swings or anxiety related to gambling
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to gamble
- Jeopardizing relationships or job opportunities due to gambling
Self-Help Tools
We offer several tools to help you maintain control of your gaming:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Establish a ceiling on losses you're comfortable with before taking a break
- Reality Checks: Enable periodic reminders during your gaming session to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from your account if you need a break from gaming
To access these tools, please contact our support team or visit your account settings.
