Responsible Gaming

At Atlantic Rock Lotto, responsible gaming is at the core of our values. We believe that playing the lottery should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money. We are committed to providing a safe environment for our players in Newfoundland and Labrador and offer tools and resources to help you stay in control.

1. Understanding the Game

Before you play, it is crucial to understand that lottery outcomes are entirely based on chance. No skill, strategy, or system can influence the result of a random draw.

• The odds are fixed: Buying more tickets increases your chances slightly, but the odds of winning the jackpot remain incredibly low.
• Past results don’t matter: Numbers drawn in the past have no bearing on future draws. Each draw is an independent event.
• House edge: Like all forms of gambling, lotteries are designed so that the operator generates revenue for public causes. Over time, the average player will lose money.

2. Tips for Safer Play

To ensure your gaming remains fun and affordable, we recommend following these guidelines:

3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognize the signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford?
• Do you borrow money or sell possessions to gamble?
• Do you hide your gambling habits from family or friends?
• Do you feel anxious or stressed when you are not gambling?
• Do you gamble to escape from personal problems?
• Have you tried to stop gambling but failed?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you may be at risk. We strongly encourage you to seek professional help.

4. Player Protection Tools

We provide several tools to help you manage your play directly within your account settings:

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once you reach your limit, you will not be able to deposit more funds until the period resets. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately, while increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Account History

You can easily access your full transaction history to see exactly how much you have spent and how much time you have played.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break, you can use our Self-Exclusion tool. This will block access to your account for a period of your choosing (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years). During this time, you will not be able to login, buy tickets, or receive marketing communications.

5. Protection of Minors (19+)

Atlantic Rock Lotto is strictly for individuals aged 19 and over. We use sophisticated age verification checks during registration to prevent minors from accessing our platform.

If you share your computer with minors, we recommend:

• Never saving your password in your browser.
• Using parental control software (such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol) to block access to gambling sites.
• Keeping your credit card details private.

6. Getting Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, confidential help is available 24/7. You do not have to face this alone.
