Responsible Gaming

1. Our Philosophy

At GreatNorthPrize, we believe that lottery-style games, even informational ones, should remain a form of entertainment. They should never be viewed as a way to make money or solve financial problems. While our website is informational and does not process real-money wagers, we adhere to the highest standards of social responsibility to educate our Canadian users about the risks associated with gambling.

2. Tips for Safer Play

If you choose to participate in real-world lotteries or gaming activities, we recommend following these guidelines to ensure your safety:

• Set a budget: Decide how much you are willing to spend before you start playing and stick to it.
• Set a time limit: Don't let gambling take over your leisure time.
• Never chase losses: Accepting a loss is part of the game. Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses.
• Balance your life: Ensure gambling is not your only form of entertainment.

3. Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important to recognize the warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you intended?
• Do you feel anxious or stressed about your gambling habits?
• Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to gamble?
• Do you lie to family or friends about how much you gamble?
• Do you gamble to escape from worries, trouble, or boredom?
• Has your gambling caused health problems, including sleep issues?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to seek professional help using the resources below.
