Check out one of the materials from the "Beyond the Bet" media campaign. We are excited to be a part of this new, statewide initiative. 😁

Although sports betting may feel like a fast way to earn money, there are financial risks. Start
creating healthy, financial habits that teach you how to budget and save money. When you
stop counting on “luck,” your future self and your wallet will thank you.
Call to Action:
Create a monthly budget for yourself— prioritize paying for your bills and groceries first. This
will help you build that healthy financial habit of spending money on what’s important, and then
using the rest on extracurricular activities, versus the other way around.
