Play Responsibly
Keep it fun, keep it safe, keep it under control
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Lotto Australia, we believe gambling should be entertaining, not problematic. We're committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all our players. Remember, the lottery is meant to be a bit of fun - never bet more than you can afford to lose.
⚠️ Important Reminder
Gambling can be addictive. If you're not having fun anymore, it's time to take a break. There's no shame in asking for help - in fact, it's the smart thing to do.
Signs You Might Need Help
Be honest with yourself. If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to reach out for support:
- Spending more money than you planned on lottery tickets
- Chasing losses or believing you're "due" for a win
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling
- Borrowing money or selling things to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities to gamble
- Unable to stop even when you want to
Tips for Responsible Play
Set Your Limits
Decide how much you can afford to spend before you play. Stick to it. Think of it as entertainment expense, like going to the movies.
Time Management
Set time limits for your play sessions. When time's up, log off - even if you're winning. Balance is key, mate.
Never Chase Losses
Lost a bit? That's part of the game. Don't try to win it back by spending more. Tomorrow's another day.
Keep Perspective
Remember, lottery is pure chance. There's no system or strategy that guarantees a win. Anyone saying otherwise is having you on.
Don't Gamble When Emotional
Feeling stressed, depressed, or had a few too many? Give the lottery a miss. Make decisions with a clear head.
Talk About It
Keep your gambling in the open. If you're hiding it from loved ones, that's a red flag right there.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account. Once you hit your limit, that's it until the next period.
Time-Out Periods
Need a break? Take a time-out for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account will be temporarily suspended - no temptation!
Self-Exclusion
For longer breaks, you can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This is a serious commitment to stopping gambling.
Reality Checks
Set up reminders that pop up during play to show how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.
