Our Commitment to Responsible Play
TundraTrail Lotto is dedicated to providing a safe and responsible informational platform. We believe that lottery participation should be a fun and exciting form of entertainment. It is not a way to make money or an escape from personal problems.
We are committed to helping our users make informed decisions about their participation. This page provides information, tips, and resources for responsible play.
Play Smart. Stay in Control.
Responsible participation means knowing your limits and staying within them. Here are some key principles for responsible play:
- Play for Fun: Treat lottery participation as entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to pay off debts.
- Set a Budget: Only spend what you can afford to lose. Set a clear, firm money limit and stick to it.
- Set a Time Limit: Balance lottery participation with other activities. Don't let it take up an excessive amount of your time.
- Understand the Odds: Know that winning is a matter of chance. Do not expect to win, and do not play with the expectation of recovering losses.
- Avoid "Chasing" Losses: Never try to win back money you have lost. This can lead to a harmful cycle.
Recognizing a Problem
If you are concerned about your own participation or that of someone you know, ask yourself the following questions:
- Are you spending more money or time on lotteries than you can afford?
- Are you borrowing money to play?
- Are you neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home?
- Are you trying to "win back" money you have lost?
- Do you feel anxious, guilty, or stressed about your participation?
If you answered yes to one or more of these, it may be time to seek help.
Canadian Support Resources
Help is available. If you or someone you know needs support, confidential help is available 24/7. These organizations are not affiliated with us but are leaders in providing support to Canadians.
Provincial Helplines
Every province in Canada has a free, confidential problem gambling helpline. We strongly encourage you to find the number for your specific province.
Examples include ConnexOntario (Ontario) or Alberta Health Services (Alberta). A quick search for "[Your Province] problem gambling help" will provide your local resource.
Responsible Gambling Council (RGC)
The RGC is a non-profit organization dedicated to problem gambling prevention. Their website, ResponsibleGambling.org, is an excellent source of information and resources.
Age Verification (18+/19+)
It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 or 19 (depending on the province) to purchase lottery tickets in Canada. TundraTrail Lotto requires all users to confirm they are of legal age to register an account. We are committed to preventing underage access to our services.
