Responsible Play

Lotteries and games of chance should only ever be a form of light entertainment, never a way to make money or escape difficulties. The odds always favour the operator, and no strategy, system or "hot number" can change the outcome of a random draw.

Stay in control

Set strict limits on time and money and never chase losses. Only ever use money you can comfortably afford to lose. If it stops being fun, stop.

Signs to watch for

Spending more than you intended, borrowing to play, hiding your play from others, or feeling anxious about it are signs it may be becoming a problem.

Getting help

If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, please reach out for support. In Malaysia, the Befrienders offer free, confidential emotional support (visit befrienders.org.my for current contact numbers). Many countries have dedicated gambling helplines and services such as GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous. Speaking to a trusted person, doctor or counsellor is a strong first step.
