Responsible Gambling
Last updated: May 28, 2026Play Within Your Means
Lottery games are a form of entertainment, not a way to generate income. Before you play, decide on a budget you are comfortable losing and stick to it. Never chase losses or play with money set aside for essential expenses.
This website is intended for adults aged 19 and over (18+ in AB, MB, QC, and PEI for lottery products).
Recognising a Problem
The following signs may indicate that gambling has become a problem:
- Spending more money or time gambling than intended.
- Lying to family or friends about how much you gamble.
- Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or other problems.
- Feeling restless or irritable when you try to reduce gambling.
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
If any of these apply to you, consider reaching out for support. Help is free, confidential, and available across Canada.
