Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At abovehost.net, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. Sweepstakes casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state, whichever is higher) to participate in sweepstakes casino games on abovehost.net. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under the legal age, please do not use our services.
