Responsible Gaming
Gaming should always be enjoyable. We provide the tools and guidance to help you play safely and responsibly.
At NorthDraw Canada, we are dedicated to fostering responsible play and ensuring a secure environment for all users. While most people enjoy ordering draw tickets as entertainment, we understand that a small number may face challenges related to problem gambling.
1. Tools for Responsible Play
We provide features designed to help you stay in control of your gaming activity, such as account-level limits, self-exclusion options, and reminders to monitor spending (mock links for illustration).
2. Recognizing Problem Gambling
Be aware of warning signs for yourself or others. Ask yourself:
- Am I spending more money on draw tickets than I can afford?
- Do I try to recover losses by playing more (chasing losses)?
- Have I concealed the extent of my gaming activity from family or friends?
- Do thoughts of playing interfere with work, relationships, or daily life?
- Do I feel anxious, restless, or irritable when I stop playing?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider seeking professional help promptly.
3. Protecting Minors (Age Restrictions)
Individuals under 18 are prohibited from purchasing draw tickets. We enforce strict age verification during account creation and utilize the 18+ age gate to ensure compliance.
- Always keep your NorthDraw account secure and log out when not in use.
- Use parental controls to restrict access to gaming websites.
