Responsible Gaming
Colour prediction and lottery games are games of chance. These habits keep the money and time you spend under your control.
Five ground rules
- Only play if you are 18 or older and real-money gaming is allowed in your state.
- Set a monthly budget you could lose entirely without missing a bill.
- Decide a time limit before you open the app, and set a phone timer.
- Never chase losses. A losing run doesn't mean a win is coming.
- Never borrow, use instant-loan apps, or spend money meant for family needs.
Warning signs
- You play longer or spend more than you planned.
- You hide how much you spend from family or friends.
- You feel restless or irritable when you can't play.
- You see gaming as a way to solve money problems.
