1 · Purpose of This Policy
LottoQuill is committed to promoting safe, enjoyable lottery participation. This Responsible Gaming Policy explains our principles, offers practical advice, lists international support resources and describes the measures we use to help protect vulnerable players, including age-verification and self-exclusion tools.
2 · Definitions
“Responsible Gaming” means playing lotteries as a form of leisure while remaining fully
aware of the associated risks.
“Problem Gambling” is gambling behaviour that disrupts personal, family or professional
life.
“Self-Exclusion” refers to voluntary steps a player can take to block their own access to
gambling services.
3 · Core Principles of Responsible Play
- Lotteries are a game of chance; there is no strategy that guarantees winnings.
- Spend only what you can afford to lose—never borrow money to buy tickets.
- Keep track of time and money spent; set clear budgets before you play.
- Balance lottery play with other hobbies and responsibilities.
- Seek help immediately if gambling stops being fun or becomes stressful.
4 · Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Indicators may include spending more than planned, chasing losses, hiding spending from family, feeling anxious when not playing or neglecting work and relationships. If you recognise any of these signs, consider taking a break and contacting a support organisation listed below.
5 · Quick Self-Assessment Quiz
Ask yourself the following questions. Answering “Yes” to more than one may indicate a gambling problem:
- Do you ever gamble longer than you intended?
- Have you tried to win back money you previously lost?
- Has gambling caused arguments with friends or family?
- Do you feel anxious or depressed because of gambling?
- Have you lied about how much time or money you spend gambling?
6 · Self-Exclusion & Blocking Tools
If you need a break, you can install free blocking software such as Gamban or BetBlocker, which restrict access to gambling sites. Official lottery operators in many jurisdictions also offer self-exclusion programs; contact your state or national lottery for details.
