Responsible Gaming
Playing the lottery should be fun and entertaining.
Our Commitment
At AuroraLeaf Lotto, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming as part of our platform. We believe that playing the lottery should be an enjoyable form of entertainment. For most people, it is just that. However, for a small portion of the population, it can become a problem.
This page provides information and resources to help you make informed decisions and maintain healthy playing habits.
Age Requirement
You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase lottery tickets in Canada. Our platform is intended for adult users only.
Tips for Healthy Play
To ensure lottery play remains a fun activity, please keep the following tips in mind:
- Play for fun, not to make money. Treat lottery play as a form of entertainment, not an investment or a way to solve financial problems.
- Set a budget. Decide in advance how much money you are willing to spend and stick to it. Never spend more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Understand the odds. Lottery games are games of chance. Winning is not guaranteed, and the odds of winning large prizes are very low.
- Do not chase losses. If you lose money, accept it as the cost of entertainment. Trying to win back money you've lost often leads to spending even more.
- Balance your time. Ensure that playing the lottery does not interfere with your work, family life, or other social activities.
- Do not play when you're upset. Avoid playing when you are stressed, depressed, or trying to escape from other problems.
Recognizing a Problem
If you are concerned about your own playing habits or those of someone you care about, consider the following questions. Do you:
- Find yourself preoccupied with lottery play?
- Feel the need to spend more and more money to get the same excitement?
- Feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop?
- Gamble to escape from problems or relieve a bad mood?
- Lie to family members or friends to hide the extent of your involvement?
- Risk or lose important relationships, a job, or educational opportunities because of gambling?
If you answered "yes" to several of these questions, you may want to seek help.
