Playing Lotto Sensibly
|
| |
|
Gambling |
| |
| |
Joining Play4150 and taking part in our Syndicates means
that any member will be gambling within the realms of the UK National Lottery. |
| |
At Play4150 we want to ensure that current and prospective
members understand this, play sensibly and within their means. |
| |
We want to make access to our Syndicates open and easy to
use, but not at the expense of causing problems for vulnerable groups, such as
those on low incomes, or younger players. |
| |
|
Protecting Players |
| |
| |
At Play4150 we understand the individuals right to take a
chance, yet we have to balance this with societies obligation to those who are
most at risk. So how can we go about this ? |
| |
|
|
By operating solely through our on line portal,
http://www.play4150.com we can eliminate any problems a lottery retailer may
have with underage cash players. |
|
|
We're looking into introducing self imposed playing
limits, where a player will be able to self-regulate their maximum
spend. |
|
|
A player can email us and be added to the exclusion list,
we will not allow this email to sign up to the system. |
| |
|
Player Awareness |
| |
|
Players should be aware of a number of things
when playing as part of our syndicates. |
| |
|
|
Only play with money you can afford to lose. |
|
|
Don't view membership of a Play4150 Syndicate as a
way of making genuine money. |
|
|
Keep track of the amount you're spending monthly in a
Syndicate. |
|
|
Try and stick to membership of a single Syndicate for a
particular game. |
|
|
If you feel that you are playing too much then with
Play4150 you can let your account run down and stop at any time. Your numbers
will remain on the system until you feel ready to play again. |
| |
|
Could there be a problem ? |
| |
| |
Ask yourself the following questions, the more you answer
yes to, the more you may need to seek further advice before starting or
continuing to play. |
| |
|
|
If you're numbers didn't come up, do you feel the need to
try and win back what you've lost ? |
|
|
Are you pre-occupied with the thought of gambling, and how
you might obtain the money to gamble ? |
|
|
Do you find it difficult to stick to time or monetary
limits that you have set yourself when gambling ? |
|
|
Do you gamble to escape negative emotions, and after
gambling find that these emotions return worse than before ? |
|
|
Are you borrowing money to gamble ? |
|
|
Is gambling jeopardising any other parts of your life ? |
|
|
Do you show ambivalence towards the idea of quitting or
controlling gambling ? |
|
|
Has anyone close to you ever mentioned your gambling and
the effect it might be having on those around you ? |
| |
|
|
This is by no means an exhaustive list, and if you feel
that you might have a problem you can contact Gamcare and talk to someone in
