Play Responsibly

At Lottery Critic, we believe the lottery should be fun, exciting, and safe for everyone.

Our goal is to help players enjoy the experience responsibly, not to encourage excessive or risky play.

Our commitment to responsible play

We promote responsible gaming across all content.
Every guide, review, and calculator on Lottery Critic is designed to inform and protect players, not to promise or imply guaranteed wins.

Lottery Critic does not sell tickets or operate any form of gambling. We only provide verified information and educational resources to help players make informed decisions.

Set limits and play for fun

Playing responsibly means setting clear limits before you start.

  • Decide your budget and never spend more than you can afford to lose.

  • Avoid chasing losses. Every draw is random and past results do not affect future outcomes.

  • Take breaks and keep perspective. Lottery games should always remain a form of entertainment.

If gambling or gaming ever stops feeling fun, it may be time to step back and seek support.

Age and legal requirements

Players must be 18 or older (or meet the legal minimum age in their state or country) to participate in lottery or sweepstakes-style games.

Always follow your local laws and play only through licensed, official operators or verified lottery couriers.

Recognize the signs of problem gambling

You may be at risk of problem gambling if you:

  • Spend more time or money on gambling than planned.

  • Feel anxious, frustrated, or guilty after losing.

  • Borrow money or hide gambling activity from others.

  • Use gambling to cope with stress or financial problems.

If these signs feel familiar, help is available, free, and confidential.
