Responsible Gambling
At ClutchBuzz, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. We understand that sports betting can be an enjoyable and entertaining activity when practiced responsibly, but we also recognize the risks associated with gambling. Our goal is to provide resources and support to ensure that betting remains a fun and controlled activity for all our users.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognizing the signs of problem gambling is important. These may include:
- Difficulty controlling your gambling habits.
- Gambling more than you can afford to lose.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Neglecting responsibilities at work, home, or school.
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable due to gambling.
If you recognize any of these signs, we strongly encourage you to seek help.
