Responsible Play Statement
Prairie Jackpots is committed to encouraging responsible participation for adults in Canada. This page outlines our approach, key expectations and available support options.
1. Core principles
Number-based play should remain a discretionary activity. It is not intended to address personal, financial or professional difficulties. Participation should stay occasional, balanced and compatible with your everyday responsibilities.
2. Age restrictions
Prairie Jackpots is intended for adults who are legally allowed to participate in number-based activities in their province or territory. You must be at least 19 years old, or meet any higher local requirement, to use this website.
3. Warning signs to watch for
You may want to reflect on your behaviour or consider seeking assistance if you notice any of the following:
- You feel encouraged to join sessions more frequently than you originally planned.
- You spend more time or funds on number-based play than you feel comfortable with.
- You try to recover losses by increasing how often or how intensely you participate.
- You conceal your activity from family members, friends or colleagues.
- Your sleep, work performance or relationships begin to be affected by your participation.
4. Practical guidelines for balanced play
To help maintain a measured relationship with number-based activities, consider the following tips:
- Set clear time and budget limits before participating and stick to them.
- View participation as occasional entertainment rather than a source of income.
- Take regular breaks and avoid long or uninterrupted sessions.
- Keep track of how often you participate and how you feel afterwards.
- Avoid participating when you are tired, under stress, using substances or feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
5. Self-control tools
When possible, use tools that help maintain structure, such as reminders, notes, calendar alerts or personal limits you set yourself. If you feel that additional support is useful, consider speaking with a professional service to explore formal limit-setting or self-exclusion programs.
6. External resources and support
If number-based play begins to feel difficult to manage or affects your well-being, we encourage you to seek help from independent support resources. These may include:
- Helplines or counselling services that address gambling-related concerns within your province or territory.
- Independent organisations offering self-assessment tools, educational information and guidance.
- Health professionals who can help you understand how play may be influencing your daily life.
You may also review the external links available on our main page, which include recognised resources and self-exclusion information.
7. Information and limits of responsibility
Prairie Jackpots provides information on weekly number sessions but does not manage personal financial accounts. While we encourage responsible messaging, individual decisions outside the website remain your responsibility, and we recommend seeking help when needed.
8. Regulatory expectations
Prairie Jackpots aims to align with responsible play principles and relevant Canadian regulatory guidance. Messaging may be updated periodically as recommendations evolve across provinces and territories.
