Responsible Gaming

1. Our Commitment to Safety

At TimberFox Lotto, we believe that lottery games should be fun, entertaining, and exciting. They should never be seen as a way to make money, solve financial problems, or escape from reality. While our website is a simulation tool, we understand that our users may participate in real-world lottery games, and we want to ensure they do so safely and responsibly.

Responsible gaming means staying in control of how much time and money you spend on gaming. It means treating the activity as a form of entertainment, much like going to the movies or out for dinner.

2. Age Verification (19+)

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 19 (or 18 in certain provinces like Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec) to participate in lottery games. TimberFox Lotto is intended strictly for an adult audience. We actively discourage underage visitors and reserve the right to ask for age verification before allowing access to certain features of our site.

3. Tips for Safer Play

If you choose to play lottery games (online or at a retailer), keep these tips in mind to ensure your play remains safe and fun:

• Set a Budget: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start. Treat this money as the "cost of entertainment." Once it's gone, stop playing.
• Set a Time Limit: Don't let gambling take over your leisure time. Set a specific amount of time for play and stick to it.
• Don't Chase Losses: If you lose money, do not try to win it back by spending more. This often leads to bigger losses.
• Understand the Odds: Lottery is a game of chance. No system or strategy can guarantee a win. The odds are always in favor of the house.
• Balance Your Life: Ensure that gaming does not interfere with your work, family, or other hobbies.

5. Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. It is important to recognize the warning signs early. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you spend more money on gambling than you can afford to lose?
• Do you hide your gambling habits from friends or family?
• Do you feel anxious or stressed when you are not playing?
• Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape worry, trouble, or boredom?
• Does gambling cause arguments with your family?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you may be at risk.
