Responsible play

Participation risks the money spent and is not an income strategy. Understand the product, avoid chasing losses and use verified local support if gambling causes harm.

Lottery participation and lottery-result betting involve a risk of losing the money spent. They should not be treated as income, a way to repay debt, or a way to recover earlier losses.

This portal is intended for adults who meet the age requirements applicable to the product and their location. Reading content in a particular language does not establish eligibility to participate.

Before spending money

  • Understand what is being purchased: an official ticket, a bet on a result, or a syndicate share.
  • Read the total cost, recurring-payment conditions, cancellation terms and relevant claim conditions.
  • Set a limit you can afford to lose and keep essential living costs separate.
  • Avoid borrowing to participate or increasing spending to chase a loss.
  • Step away if spending or time feels difficult to control.

A comparison, promotion or large jackpot does not make a win certain. An additional purchase can increase spending without guaranteeing any return. We do not publish promises of winning or pressure readers to act before considering the terms.

Finding support

If gambling is causing harm, seek a verified local support service or a qualified professional in your location. Service coverage and contact details vary. Use an official local health or gambling-support service to identify assistance available where you live.
