Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Victorialottoclub, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices and ensuring that betting remains an enjoyable form of entertainment. We provide tools, resources, and support to help our customers maintain control over their gambling activities.
Gambling Should Be Fun
Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Here are some guidelines for safe gambling:
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
- Set time and money limits before you start
- Take regular breaks from gambling
- Don't chase losses with bigger bets
- Don't gamble when you're upset, depressed, or under the influence
- Maintain a balance with other activities in your life
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you're experiencing any of the following, you may need to seek help:
- Spending more time or money gambling than you can afford
- Lying to family or friends about your gambling
- Chasing losses with bigger bets
- Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Borrowing money to gamble
- Unable to stop gambling even when you want to
Self-Help Tools
Victorialottoclub provides various tools to help you stay in control:
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit into your account. These limits help you control your spending and prevent impulsive decisions.
Loss Limits
Set limits on how much you're willing to lose in a given period. Once you reach this limit, you won't be able to place further bets until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
Control how long you spend gambling by setting session time limits. You'll receive reminders and automatic logouts when your time is up.
Reality Checks
Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've spent during your session.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a break from gambling, you can exclude yourself from our platform for a period of 24 hours to 5 years. During this time, you won't be able to access your account or receive promotional materials.
