Resources

Fantasy contests should be played responsibly. For this reason, the Commission wants to ensure that all those playing fantasy contests and their loved ones have free and immediate access to information on and resources for playing responsibly and seeking assistance for compulsive behavior. For this information and available resources, please see the Commission’s Responsible Gambling Page or call the Ohio Problem Gambling helpline at 1-800-589-9966 available 24 hours a day.

Voluntary Restriction Programs

Additionally, please note that operators are required to provide a voluntary restriction program. These programs allow you to restrict your fantasy contest play in various ways. While these programs differ from operator to operator, all programs must allow for an individual to completely exclude themselves from participating in fantasy contests. If you feel that these programs may be helpful to you or if you have any questions about a specific program, you may wish to contact the operators directly.
