Our Commitment
SlateLines (operated by Tally LLC) takes responsible gambling seriously. Sports betting should be
entertainment, never an attempt to solve financial problems or escape personal struggles. We provide
content for adult bettors in legal markets and never promote excessive or problem gambling behavior.
If you cannot afford to lose what you wager, do not place the wager. Sports betting involves real
financial risk.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Common warning signs include:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Chasing losses with bigger wagers in an attempt to win back what was lost
- Borrowing money to gamble or to cover gambling losses
- Lying about how much time or money is spent gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities because of gambling
- Feeling unable to stop or reduce gambling despite wanting to
- Experiencing depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts related to gambling
If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for support. Help is
available and recovery is possible.
Tools for Managing Your Play
Licensed Colorado sportsbooks provide built-in tools to help you stay in control. Use them. These tools
typically include:
- Deposit limits: cap the amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
- Wager limits: cap the amount you can wager in a given period
- Time limits: cap the time you can spend on the platform
- Loss limits: trigger a cooling-off period if you reach a specified loss amount
- Time-outs: voluntarily pause your account for a defined period
- Self-exclusion: permanently or long-term block your access to the platform
Colorado also operates a state-wide self-exclusion program. Visit the Colorado Division of Gaming
website to enroll in voluntary self-exclusion across all licensed Colorado operators.
Tips for Healthy Sports Betting
- Set a budget before you bet, and never exceed it
- Treat sports betting as entertainment, not income
- Never bet money you cannot afford to lose
- Take regular breaks from gambling
- Do not gamble when stressed, depressed, or under the influence
- Do not chase losses with bigger bets
- Balance gambling with other hobbies and activities
- Talk to someone you trust if gambling starts to feel out of control
For Friends and Family
If someone you care about may be struggling with problem gambling, you are not alone. Support is
available for family members and loved ones too. Contact 1-800-GAMBLER for resources designed
specifically for those affected by someone else’s gambling.
Approach the conversation with empathy, not judgment. Avoid lending money to cover gambling losses.
Encourage professional help. Take care of your own well-being throughout the process.
Age and Geographic Restrictions
Sports betting in Colorado is legal only for individuals 21 years of age or older who are physically
located within Colorado state lines at the time of wagering. SlateLines is intended for use by Colorado
residents and visitors who meet these requirements.
We block access from outside Colorado and require age verification on first visit. If you are under 21 or
