💡Compliance Tip of the Week💡

🚫 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐁𝐄𝐓 𝐎𝐍 𝐈𝐓! 🚫

As the Final Four games tip off today, here's your friendly compliance reminder:

Enjoy all the madness… just not the kind that involves wagering.

✅ Armchair coaching
✅ Unsolicited sports game analyst
✅ Eating excessive amounts of snacks
✅ Debating draft picks and transfer portal entries
✅ Griping about officials and questioning officiating decisions
✅ Watching history being made
🚫 Placing bets on games

Be loud, be passionate, be invested—just don't be financially invested.
