Responsible Gaming & Problem Gambling Resources

Last Updated: 4/16/26

1. Our Commitment

Tap In Fantasy LLC is committed to promoting responsible play and user well-being.

While our platform currently offers free-to-play contests only, we recognize that fantasy sports and gaming can still impact behavior. We encourage all users to engage in a safe, controlled, and healthy manner.

2. Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling (also called gambling addiction) occurs when a person loses control over their gambling behavior, even when it negatively affects their life.

Common signs may include:

  • Spending more time or money than intended
  • Chasing losses
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
  • Hiding activity from friends or family
  • Using gaming as an escape from stress

Problem gambling can affect anyone and may be linked to psychological or environmental factors.

6. Healthy Gaming Habits

We strongly encourage users to follow these best practices:

Set Limits

  • Decide in advance how much time you will spend
  • Stick to personal limits

Play for Entertainment

  • Treat contests as a form of entertainment—not income
  • Avoid relying on outcomes financially

Avoid Chasing Losses

  • Do not attempt to win back losses through continued play

Stay Balanced

  • Maintain healthy routines (work, relationships, sleep)
  • Take regular breaks

Stay Aware

  • Monitor your behavior and mindset
  • Ask yourself: "Am I still in control?"

7. Self-Assessment Questions

Ask yourself:

  • Do I feel stressed or anxious about my play?
  • Am I spending more time than intended?
  • Have I tried to cut back but couldn't?

If you answered "yes" to any of these, consider seeking support.

8. Tools & Controls (Current & Future)
