The notice directs readers seeking help to several hotlines, including 1-800-GAMBLER, 1-800-MY-RESET and (800) 327-5050, and lists state-specific services such as gamblinghelplinema.org for Massachusetts.

ESPN states that sports betting is limited to adults 21 and older in most U.S. jurisdictions, while the minimum age is 18 in the District of Columbia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico and Wyoming. Wagering is void in Ontario.
The disclaimer also notes that eligibility restrictions apply and points readers to draftkings.com/sportsbook for full terms. Bets placed in Illinois may include a pass-through tax, and wagers in Kansas are offered on behalf of Boot Hill Casino.
