Gaming is entertainment. Play Responsibly gives you free, confidential measures to set gaming limits, pause your play and stay in control of how you play.
Simple habits can help keep lottery play recreational and within the limits you choose. Participation does not guarantee a prize. Previous wins or losses do not affect the outcome.
Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you play, and stick to that limit.
Decide how much time you want to spend playing, and step away when your time is up.
Previous wins or losses do not affect the outcome of the next game. Treat spent money as cost of play.
Step away whenever playing stops feeling like entertainment. Balance lottery with other activities.
Choose the level of control that fits your situation. These preventative tools are free, easily accessible in your account, and completely confidential.
Choose deposit, loss and time limits for your gaming account. A reduction takes effect without delay, while a request to increase a limit may be subject to a waiting period.
My Gaming Limits
Temporarily pause your gaming activity when you want time away. Access to gaming is restricted for the period you choose and gaming-related promotional communications are suspended.
Block access to your gaming account for a longer period when you need it. Self-exclusion is free, confidential and irrevocable for the period you select.
Your gambling activity summary is available in your account at any time. It shows deposits and withdrawals, amounts wagered, amounts won and lost, and the time spent playing over a given period.
Gambling Activity Summary
Take a few moments to ask yourself these questions. Answering honestly helps ensure lottery play stays balanced.
Am I staying within the budget I planned?
Am I playing for entertainment, rather than to make money?
Can I comfortably stop when I planned to?
Would taking a break make sense right now?
A lottery ticket is entertainment, not an income plan. Set limits that fit your budget, take a break whenever you want, and know that free, confidential help is always available.
