Responsibility
The Kasterks team urges everyone to play the lottery consciously and in accordance with the rules and principles of responsible gaming. Following these rules will help you protect yourself from gambling addiction. Excessive enthusiasm for lotteries can also lead to gambling addiction, which has serious consequences for psychological health.
Five basic rules
There are many resources where you can get free help. You can sign up for an online consultation with a specialist and even do so anonymously if you wish.
Good financial management
The lottery involves financial expenditure, so this issue should be approached with extreme caution. Set yourself a monthly budget for entertainment only. This should be your own money (not borrowed or credit). You should also make sure that if you lose this money, your quality of life will not deteriorate.
Play in moderation
There is no need to buy lottery tickets every day. Do not turn this activity into a full-fledged hobby. Set yourself a limit — play the lottery once a week. Do not break these restrictions even if the temptation is great.
Practise self-exclusion
Take long breaks, at least a few weeks. This will help you control your emotions and psychological state.
Keep an eye on your emotions
If losing the lottery disappoints you too much, annoys you or causes other negative emotions, try to rethink your attitude towards this activity. Think of it as entertainment, not something serious to worry about.
Do not ignore warning signs
At the first signs of addiction, seek advice from a psychologist or psychotherapist.
This month only, everyone who purchases a lottery ticket automatically becomes a participant in an additional draw in which $200,000 will be raffled off. To participate, simply select any lottery and purchase one ticket. It doesn’t matter if it wins or not.
Jackpot for activity. Buy three lottery tickets at once and get a chance to win a huge jackpot of $5 million.
