Responsible Play

Updated September 14, 2026

Lottery participation should be treated as paid entertainment, not an income stream, savings plan or way to recover debt.

Set a limit first

Choose a fixed entertainment amount before visiting a lottery site. Do not increase it because of a rollover, promotion or recent loss.

Do not chase losses

Past losses do not make a future win more likely. Stop when you reach your limit.

Use account controls

Regulated operators can offer deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion and other tools. TheLotter’s current responsible-gaming documentation describes deposit limits, session controls, time-outs and self-exclusion.

Get help when gambling causes harm

If gambling is affecting finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, stop participating and contact an independent gambling-harm support organisation in your country.
