Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Kentucky Motor Speedway, we believe that gaming—including the Wheel Out game—should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please play responsibly and within your means.
Age Verification
You must be at least 21 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your state) to participate in gaming activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling. If you are under the legal age, please do not participate.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognize any of the following behaviors in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Gambling with more money than you can afford to lose
- Hiding your gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when trying to reduce gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay off gambling debts
- Repeatedly unsuccessful attempts to cut back or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools and Resources
Many gaming platforms offer tools to help you maintain control. Consider using:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount of money you're willing to lose in a session or week
- Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders of how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently ban yourself from gaming platforms
- Time Limits: Set alarms or session time limits to encourage breaks
