Responsible play

Last updated: 2026-06-25

LotteryCortex stands for responsible play: lotteries are entertainment, not an income source. Our ground rules: only play if you are 18 or older, set a fixed budget and stop when it is gone. Recognise warning signs such as chasing losses? Seek help via the helplines on this page or self-exclude.

LotteryCortex supports responsible play. Lotteries can be addictive — even when they feel harmless. Below you'll find guidelines, warning signs and helplines.

What are our ground rules for responsible play?

Only play with money you can afford to lose. Set a weekly or monthly budget in advance. Never play to chase losses. Use LotteryCortex to make informed choices, not to play more.

What is the age limit?

Lottery play is restricted to people aged 18 and over in nearly every European country. Some countries require 21+. We refuse accounts under 18.

What are the warning signs of problem play?

You play more often or more than you intended. You borrow money to play. You hide your play from family. You feel restless or irritable when you can't play. You try to win back losses with bigger stakes.
