Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income

At Walker Properties MD, we believe sweepstakes gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Sweepstakes and casino games are games of chance with no guaranteed outcomes. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never view gaming as a way to earn money or solve financial problems.

Responsible gaming means playing for fun within your means and recognizing when gaming habits may become unhealthy.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes gaming on our site. We take age restrictions seriously and encourage parents and guardians to monitor online gaming activity.

By accessing our platform, you certify that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Do you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know? If so, seek help immediately:
