Responsible Play

Your Wellbeing is Our Priority

Our Commitment

At Canada Win Ledger, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. While lottery participation can be an enjoyable form of entertainment, we recognize the importance of ensuring it remains fun, safe, and within your means.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available. Don't wait to seek assistance.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Be aware of these warning signs:

  • Spending more money or time on lottery games than you can afford
  • Chasing losses by trying to win back money you've spent
  • Lying to family or friends about your lottery participation
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund lottery purchases
  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not participating
  • Using lottery games as an escape from problems or negative feelings

Responsible Gaming Guidelines

Set Limits

  • Budget: Decide how much you can afford to spend before you start
  • Time: Set time limits for lottery-related activities
  • Stick to It: Never exceed your predetermined limits

Keep It Fun

  • View lottery participation as entertainment, not a way to make money
  • Never gamble with money you need for essential expenses
  • Take regular breaks from lottery activities
  • Balance lottery participation with other hobbies and interests

Know When to Stop

  • Don't chase losses by spending more than planned
  • Recognize when lottery participation is no longer enjoyable
  • Seek help if you find it difficult to control your spending
