Responsible Gaming

Playing should always be fun. We provide the tools and resources to help you keep it that way. GreatNorthDraw is committed to promoting responsible play and ensuring a safe environment for all our users. While ordering draw tickets is an enjoyable activity for most, we recognize that it can become a problem for a small minority. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, confidential help is available. Please utilize the resources listed in Section 4 immediately.

1. Tools for Responsible Play

We empower our users to stay in control by offering integrated account features (mock links):

• Set Deposit Limits: Control the amount you can deposit within a given timeframe.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account if you need a break from play.
• Play Time Reminders: Set alerts to remind you of the time spent playing.

2. Signs of Problem Gambling

If you are concerned about your own habits or those of a loved one, ask yourself the following:

• Do you spend more money on draw tickets than you can afford?
• Do you try to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)?
• Have you lied to hide the extent of your ordering activity?
• Do thoughts of playing distract you from work, family, or friends?
• Do you feel anxious or irritable when you stop playing?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, consider reaching out for professional help.

3. Protecting Minors (Age Restriction)

It is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to purchase draw tickets. We enforce strict age verification during registration and utilize the 18+ age gate on entry to ensure compliance.

• Keep your GreatNorthDraw account secure and logged out when not in use.
• Use parental control software to restrict access to gaming sites.
