Our rules

  • Parity Odds is for adults 21 and older. We ask everyone to confirm their age.
  • We never place bets, and we never promise results.
  • We don’t take money from sportsbooks, so we have no reason to push you to bet more.

Warning signs

  • Betting more than you planned, or more than you can afford to lose.
  • Chasing losses with bigger or more frequent bets.
  • Borrowing money, or using money meant for bills, to bet.
  • Hiding betting from people close to you, or feeling anxious when you can’t bet.

Tools that help

  • Set deposit, wager, and time limits in your sportsbook accounts.
  • Most states, including Connecticut, run a voluntary self-exclusion program that blocks you from licensed sportsbooks for 1 year, 5 years, or life. See Connecticut’s self-exclusion program.
  • Keep a separate bankroll, and never add to it to win back a loss.
