Play Responsibly

18+ ONLY

Lottery gaming should be entertaining and enjoyable. We're committed to providing the tools, resources, and support you need to play safely and responsibly.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying lottery activities as a form of entertainment while maintaining control over your time, money, and decision-making. It's about setting personal limits and recognizing when gaming stops being fun.

At its core, responsible gaming ensures that lottery participation remains a positive experience that doesn't negatively impact your financial wellbeing, relationships, or daily life. It's a balanced approach that prioritizes your health and happiness above all else.

Core Principles

  • Gaming is entertainment, not a way to make money
  • Set limits before you play and stick to them
  • Only spend money you can afford to lose
  • Take regular breaks and maintain perspective

Guidelines for Healthy Play

Practical advice to help you maintain control and enjoy lottery gaming safely.

Set a Budget

Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start playing. Never spend more than you planned, and never use money needed for essential expenses.

Set Time Limits

Allocate specific time for lottery activities and stick to it. Take regular breaks and ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, family, or social commitments.

Don't Chase Losses

Accept losses as part of the entertainment cost. Never try to win back money you've lost by spending more than your budget allows.

Keep Perspective

Remember that lottery gaming is entertainment, not an investment or income source. The odds are designed so that most players will lose over time.

Avoid Alcohol

Don't play when under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These substances impair judgment and can lead to poor decision-making.

Maintain Balance

Keep lottery gaming as one of many leisure activities. Maintain relationships, hobbies, work, and other interests outside of gaming.

Warning Signs

Recognizing potential problem gambling behaviors is the first step toward getting help.

You may have a gambling problem if you:

Spend more money or time on lottery gaming than you intended

Feel the need to keep your gambling activities secret from family or friends

Have difficulty controlling or stopping your lottery participation

Gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression

Borrow money or sell possessions to fund lottery purchases

Experience relationship, work, or financial problems due to gambling

Feel restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling

Repeatedly try to win back losses by gambling more

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to seek help immediately. Problem gambling is treatable, and support is available.

Self-Assessment

Take a moment to reflect on your lottery gaming habits honestly.

Ask Yourself These Questions:

1. Do you spend more time or money on lottery gaming than you planned?

2. Has your lottery participation caused problems in your relationships?

3. Do you feel guilty about your gambling or try to hide it from others?

4. Have you borrowed money or used savings meant for other purposes to gamble?

5. Do you gamble to escape problems or negative feelings?

6. Do you find it difficult to stop gambling even when you want to?

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, consider reaching out to a professional assessment service. Early intervention can make a significant difference.

Setting Limits

Establishing personal limits is one of the most effective ways to maintain control over your lottery gaming. We recommend setting limits in three key areas before you start playing.

Money Limits

Decide the maximum amount you're willing to spend per day, week, or month. Once you reach this limit, stop playing immediately.

Time Limits

Set a specific time frame for how long you'll participate in lottery activities. Use alarms or reminders to help you stick to your schedule.

Frequency Limits

Determine how often you'll play (e.g., once a week, twice a month). This helps maintain balance with other activities and responsibilities.

Pro Tip: Write down your limits and keep them visible. Share them with a trusted friend or family member for accountability.
