Responsible Gaming
Del Mar Races is a companion for enjoying the races — not a sportsbook and not a tipsheet. We handle no bets and no money, and we don't claim an edge. Betting should be fun, occasional, and within your means. If it stops being any of those, the resources below can help.
Our honest stance
Our own research says no publicly available system reliably beats the takeout over time. Everything here — our speed figure, aggregated picks, and the scoreboard — is information and entertainment, not advice and not a promise. Never bet money you can't afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Signs it may be a problem
Betting more than you planned; chasing losses; borrowing or lying to keep betting; betting to escape stress; or gambling getting in the way of work, sleep, or relationships. If any of these feel familiar — for you or someone close to you — reach out.
Get help — free and confidential
In an emergency, call 911. Outside the U.S., contact your local problem-gambling helpline.
Staying in control
Set a budget and a time limit before you start. Treat any money wagered as the cost of entertainment. Don't bet under the influence or to recover a loss. Take breaks. Most licensed wagering platforms offer deposit limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion — use them.
Who this is for
Del Mar Races is an information and entertainment site for adults who enjoy the races. It takes no wagers; any betting happens on separate licensed platforms, which set and verify their own minimum age and rules.
