Responsible Play
Last updated 2026-11-06.
Daily fantasy contests are entertainment with real money at risk. TipoffLab DFS is a projection tool: it can be wrong on any night, and no model makes contests a reliable way to earn money. Please play only with money you can afford to lose.
Keep it fun
A few habits that help:
- Set a budget for the week or month before you play, and stop when it is gone.
- Never chase losses by entering more or bigger contests.
- Keep track of what you have spent and won over time, not just your best nights.
- Take breaks. Skip a slate when you are tired, upset or have been drinking.
- Do not borrow money to play, and do not use money meant for bills or savings.
Use the operator’s limits
Contest sites offer deposit limits, entry limits, time-outs and self-exclusion in their account settings. If you set one there, please respect it here too: building lineups on TipoffLab DFS does not change any limit on your contest account.
If you would like us to close your TipoffLab DFS account for the same reason, use the Delete your account page or email us and we will do it, no questions asked.
Warning signs
It may be time to get help if you:
- spend more time or money than you planned, again and again;
- feel restless or irritable when you try to cut back;
- hide how much you play from people close to you;
- play to escape problems or to win back losses.
