Responsible Play & Safer Lottery Participation

Our commitment to safety, transparency, and balanced play.

1. Our Core Responsible Play Principles

Responsible play means enjoying lottery games as a form of entertainment while staying in control of time and money spent. Whether you buy tickets occasionally or more regularly, these principles always apply:

• Entertainment, Not Income: Lottery tickets are a form of paid entertainment, not a reliable way to make money, pay bills, or solve financial problems.
• Random Outcomes: Official lottery draws are random. No system, pattern, or "lucky feeling" can influence which numbers are drawn or guarantee a win.
• Clear Limits: Responsible players decide in advance how much money and time they can comfortably afford to spend and respect those limits, even when they are losing.
• No Chasing Losses: Trying to win back lost money by buying more tickets or increasing spending usually leads to bigger losses and higher stress.

2. Understanding Odds & Common Misconceptions

A good understanding of probability can help prevent harmful behaviors and unrealistic expectations about lottery games:

3. Signs That Play May Be Becoming a Problem

Most people buy lottery tickets occasionally without any serious harm. However, for some, gambling can become problematic. If you recognize several of the signs below in yourself or someone close to you, it may be time to seek support:

• Spending more money or time on lottery products than originally planned.
• Trying to win back losses by buying more tickets or playing more frequently.
• Hiding ticket purchases or the amount spent from family or friends.
• Borrowing money or using essential funds (rent, bills, groceries) to buy tickets.
• Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not playing.
• Using lottery play to escape from stress, loneliness, or other personal problems.

4. Protection of Minors (Strict 18+ Policy)

Moose Trail Lotto and MooseTrailLotto strictly prohibit underage play. Our services are intended only for adults who are 18 years of age or older and who meet all eligibility requirements in Québec.

We do not knowingly allow minors to create accounts or purchase tickets. We may use age and identity verification procedures to help prevent underage access. Parents and guardians are encouraged to:

• Keep login details and payment methods secure and not shared with minors.
• Use parental control or content-filtering software to limit access to gambling-related sites.
• Discuss the nature of gambling and the importance of staying away from age-restricted products.

5. Tools and Options to Support Safer Play

Moose Trail Lotto supports safer play by encouraging customers to use practical tools and habits that help maintain control:

• Personal Limits: You may choose to set personal spending or deposit limits with your payment provider or budgeting tools to ensure your lottery purchases remain affordable.
• Taking Breaks: If you feel that lottery play is becoming stressful or difficult to control, taking a voluntary break from playing can be a helpful step.
• Self-Awareness: Regularly review how much you have spent over a period of time and ask yourself whether this still feels comfortable and reasonable.

If you would like to reduce your interaction with Moose Trail Lotto specifically, you can contact us and request support options appropriate to your situation.
