Lottery games should be played for entertainment only. Never spend money you cannot afford to lose, and always set limits for yourself before playing.
At LottoPerijok AU, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. We believe that lottery games should be enjoyable entertainment, never a source of financial stress or personal problems.
We work closely with gaming regulators and support organisations to ensure our platform encourages healthy gaming habits and provides resources for those who need help.
While lottery games can be exciting and entertaining, it's important to understand that they involve risk. The odds of winning significant prizes are typically very low, and players should never expect to win or rely on lottery winnings for financial security.
For most people, playing the lottery occasionally with small amounts is harmless entertainment. However, some individuals may develop gambling problems that require professional intervention.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It's important to recognise the warning signs early and seek help if needed.
Spending more money on lottery tickets than you can afford, lying to family or friends about your lottery spending, borrowing money to buy tickets, or feeling anxious or depressed about your lottery participation.
Other signs include chasing losses by buying more tickets, neglecting work or family responsibilities due to lottery activities, or feeling unable to control your urge to play.
Problem gambling can strain relationships with family and friends. If your lottery playing is causing arguments, financial stress, or secrecy in your relationships, it may be time to seek help.
The key to enjoying lottery games responsibly is setting and sticking to clear limits. Before you start playing, decide how much money and time you can afford to spend, and never exceed these limits.
Consider setting a weekly or monthly budget for lottery tickets, just as you would for other entertainment expenses. Once you've reached your limit, stop playing until the next period.
Limit the time you spend thinking about or checking lottery results. Don't let lottery activities interfere with work, family time, or other important responsibilities.
Never use money intended for essential expenses like rent, groceries, or bills to buy lottery tickets. Only play with money you can genuinely afford to lose without impacting your financial stability.
If you're concerned about your lottery playing, consider self-exclusion programs. These programs allow you to voluntarily ban yourself from purchasing lottery tickets for a specified period.
Contact your state lottery organisation or visit BetStop for information about self-exclusion programs available in your area.
Lottery games are strictly for adults aged 18 and over. We take underage gambling seriously and have measures in place to prevent minors from accessing our services.
Parents and guardians should be aware of their children's online activities and discuss the risks of gambling with them as they approach adulthood.

Remember, gambling should always be fun, never stressful. If it stops being enjoyable, it's time to take a break or seek help.
