82 Lottery Responsible Gaming means treating games as uncertain entertainment, setting limits before participation and recognising when play is affecting money, time, sleep or relationships. No strategy, chart, signal or previous result can guarantee a future outcome. Financial and personal safety should come before continued play.
Set spending and time limits first
- Choose a fixed entertainment budget.
- Use only money not needed for essentials.
- Set a clear stop time.
- Do not increase the limit after a loss.
- Take regular breaks away from the screen.
Understand loss chasing
Loss chasing occurs when a person increases spending or continues longer to recover earlier losses. It can turn a planned entertainment expense into uncontrolled financial risk. A previous result does not make a future win more likely.
Use a stop rule
Stop when the money or time limit is reached, regardless of whether the latest result was a win or loss.
Warning signs that play is becoming harmful
- Borrowing money or using essential funds.
- Hiding spending from family.
- Playing for longer than planned.
- Feeling anxious, angry or unable to stop.
- Trying to recover losses immediately.
- Neglecting sleep, work or relationships.
