While the majority of people do gamble within their means, for some, gambling can become a problem.

It may help you to keep control to remember the following:

  • Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a way of making money.
  • Avoid chasing losses.
  • Only gamble what you can afford to lose.
  • Keep track of the time and amount you spend gambling

If you want to have a break from gambling you can use our self-exclusion option by downloading and returning the self-exclusion form, calling our team at Sterling Lotteries on 0330 678 1161 or emailing keech@weeklylottery.co.uk with your name and address. On receipt, you will be excluded from all draws and from making any payment for a minimum period of six months.

If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then you can contact GamCare.
