Play Smart. Play Responsibly.
Gaming should always be about entertainment. Know your limits before you start.
Our Commitment
At LoonieTrail Lotto, we are dedicated to preventing problem gambling. We believe that a safe environment is the only way to enjoy the lottery. We provide tools and information to help you make informed decisions.
Time Management
Set a time limit for your play sessions. Take frequent breaks.
Budgeting
Only play with money you can afford to lose. Never borrow to play.
Balance
Ensure gambling is just one small part of a balanced lifestyle.
Tips for Safer Play
-
Treat it as an expense, not an investment.
Consider the money you spend as the cost of entertainment, similar to a movie ticket.
-
Don't chase losses.
Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses.
-
Know the odds.
The outcome is random. No strategy can guarantee a win.
-
Keep play fun.
If you are not having fun, or if you feel anxious, stop playing.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you intended?
- Do you hide your gambling from friends or family?
- Do you gamble to escape worry or trouble?
- Has gambling caused financial stress or debt?
If you answered "Yes" to any of these, you may need support.
