Responsible Gaming

Linemaker is committed to promoting healthy, responsible participation in Daily Fantasy Sports. DFS is skill-based entertainment and for most people that is exactly what it stays. But we take the financial risk seriously, and we want every member playing well within their means.

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, help is available right now.
Call the Texas Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 (free, confidential, available 24/7).

Our Guidelines

Linemaker asks every member to follow these principles when participating in DFS:

✓ Never play with money you cannot afford to lose
✓ Set a firm weekly budget before entering any contest and stick to it
✓ Treat DFS as entertainment, not as a primary income strategy
✓ Do not chase losses by increasing your entry amounts
✓ Take breaks from DFS, especially after a losing stretch
✓ Never borrow money to fund DFS entries
✓ Understand that past performance does not predict future results
✓ Keep DFS separate from other financial obligations

DFS vs Traditional Gambling

Daily Fantasy Sports platforms like PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, and Dabble are skill-based games where outcomes depend on player performance and your analytical decisions. They are not traditional sportsbooks.

Linemaker exclusively supports DFS platforms. We do not endorse, recommend, or facilitate traditional sports betting, offshore gambling sites, or sportsbook wagering of any kind.

Texas does not prohibit daily fantasy sports. DFS is generally treated as skill-based entertainment under Texas law. If you have questions about the legality of DFS in your specific area, we recommend consulting a legal professional.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognize any of the following in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for help:

Playing with money intended for essential expenses like rent or bills
Feeling unable to stop or control how much you play
Lying to friends or family about your DFS activity or losses
Chasing losses by playing more after a bad stretch
Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not playing
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund entries
Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities to play DFS

Recognizing these signs early is important. Support is available and seeking help is the right move.

We encourage every member to play smart, play within their means, and reach out for help if DFS ever stops being fun.
