At Quebec Prize Finder, we believe that lottery participation should always remain a positive, enjoyable, and safe experience. Our mission is to provide players with the right tools, guidance, and resources to help them stay in control and make informed decisions at every step.
While most players enjoy lottery draws responsibly, we recognize that gaming can become challenging for some individuals. If you or someone close to you is showing signs of gambling-related difficulties, discrete and professional help is available across Canada.
1. Smart Play Tools & Player Support
To help you maintain a healthy and enjoyable relationship with lottery games, Quebec Prize Finder offers several responsible gaming features designed for everyday use:
Spending & Purchase Limits
Set personalized limits to manage how much you spend or how many entries you purchase. These controls
can help prevent impulsive decisions.
Activity Insights
Our activity overview tools help you monitor your playing habits, showing patterns and frequency to
promote mindful gaming.
Self-Exclusion Options
If you need a break, you can activate a temporary self-exclusion period directly through our platform.
This option is private, easy to apply, and can help you regain balance.
These resources empower you to enjoy the excitement of the lottery while maintaining control of your behavior and budget.
2. Identifying Problematic Gambling Behaviors
It's important to regularly evaluate your habits. Consider whether any of the following apply to you or someone you know:
- Do you spend more money on tickets than you planned or can reasonably afford?
- Do you try to win back previous losses by buying more tickets?
- Have you hidden or minimized your lottery spending from family or friends?
- Does your playing disrupt work, relationships, or important responsibilities?
- Do you feel stress, irritability, or restlessness when you're not playing?
If one or more of these signs feel familiar, it may be time to seek help from a certified support organization.
3. Protecting Minors & Age Restrictions
In Canada, individuals under 18 are not permitted to purchase or claim lottery tickets. Quebec Prize Finder takes this regulation seriously and implements strict measures, including:
- Age verification during registration
- Clear 18+ warnings and restricted content access
- Tools and guidance to help parents and guardians monitor online activity
Tips to Prevent Underage Access
- Log out of your account when sharing a device
- Use parental control apps or browser filters
- Store any physical lottery tickets securely
Ensuring responsible play begins with protecting minors from exposure to gambling activities.
