Responsible Gambling
At Priceline, we are committed to promoting a safe and enjoyable experience for all our users. While Priceline is primarily a travel and booking platform, we recognize the importance of responsible gambling awareness, particularly as travel often intersects with entertainment and gaming destinations.
Our Commitment
We believe that gambling should always remain a form of entertainment and never become a source of harm. We encourage all our customers to approach gambling activities responsibly when visiting destinations that offer gaming options.

Self-Exclusion Programs
Many gaming establishments and jurisdictions offer self-exclusion programs that allow individuals to voluntarily ban themselves from gambling venues. If you feel you need to take this step, contact the relevant gaming authority at your travel destination for more information.
Age Restrictions
Gambling is restricted to individuals who meet the legal minimum age requirement in their jurisdiction. Always carry valid identification when visiting gaming establishments. The legal gambling age varies by location and may be 18 or 21 years of age.
Financial Protection
We encourage our customers to take proactive steps to protect their finances while traveling to gaming destinations. Consider leaving credit cards in your hotel safe, carrying only a predetermined amount of cash for gambling, and keeping gambling funds separate from travel expenses.
Remember, gambling should always be a choice, never a compulsion. If it stops being fun, it is time to stop.
