Responsible Gambling

The chance of failure, when going against the mathematics inherent to the house edge, in any gambling endeavor, is exponentially greater than the chance of success. Achieving social, financial, or personal success through gambling is not in any way guaranteed...rather it is very difficult to achieve. It is important to know your limit and bet within it. Click here for TSP's Responsible Gambling page.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, you are not alone! You can contact a 24 hour confidential and national helpline at 1-800-522-4700 or visit NCPGambling.org for the National Council on Problem Gambling.
