Responsible Play Manifesto

1. Our Commitment: Proactive Player Protection

Classic Lotto rejects predatory mechanics that encourage continuous play or the chasing of losses. Our business model relies on the transparent facilitation of syndicates, and we consider player health to be an operational imperative. We actively monitor account behavior for signs of distress and intervene when necessary, ensuring our platform remains a safe utility rather than a source of financial harm.

2. Identifying Problematic Behavior

Awareness is the first line of defense. We encourage all participants to regularly evaluate their engagement with our platform. Potential indicators that lottery participation may be transitioning from a controlled expense to a problematic behavior include:

• Consistently spending more money on syndicates than initially budgeted.
• Attempting to recover previous losses by purchasing larger shares or participating in more frequent draws.
• Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or stress related to draw outcomes or account balances.
• Borrowing money or utilizing credit cards explicitly to fund lottery entries.
• Concealing the extent of your participation from family members or financial dependents.

If you recognize these behaviors, we strongly urge you to utilize the control tools detailed below or contact professional support services immediately.

3. Player Control Tools: Mandatory and Optional Safeguards

We provide a suite of integrated account features designed to enforce financial discipline. These tools are accessible within your account dashboard under 'Security & Limits'.

3.1 Deposit Limits

You have the ability to set strict caps on the amount of funds you can deposit into your account over a rolling 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day period. Once a limit is reached, the system will automatically block further transactions. While you can choose to decrease your limits instantly, any request to increase a limit requires a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the new, higher limit takes effect.

3.2 Reality Checks and Session Timers

To prevent unintentional prolonged engagement, our platform features automated session reminders. You can configure pop-up notifications to alert you after a specified duration of active browsing, displaying the total time spent and providing a direct link to log out securely.

4. Self-Exclusion: Formal Account Lockouts

If you require a definitive break from the platform, Classic Lotto offers a formal Self-Exclusion process. This is an irreversible action for the chosen duration.

You may elect a temporary cooling-off period (ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks) or a formal self-exclusion (ranging from 6 months to a permanent ban). Upon initiating a self-exclusion, your account will be immediately locked. You will be unable to log in, deposit funds, or purchase new syndicate shares. Any active shares for upcoming draws will be allowed to complete, and resulting winnings will be disbursed manually via our compliance team. During the exclusion period, you will also be completely removed from all marketing communications.

5. External Support and National Resources

If gambling is negatively impacting your life, independent, professional help is available free of charge across Australia. We strongly encourage you to reach out to the following resources:
