Playing responsibly

Your School Lottery makes every effort to behave in a socially responsible manner. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to play Your School Lottery and we have measures in place to ensure we do everything in our power to control underage playing. Your School Lottery is an incentivised means of supporting schools. However, before entering into any scheme which involves speculative spending, you are advised to remember the following:

Don't think of gambling as a way to make money
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
Set a money limit in advance
Never chase your losses
Don't gamble when you're depressed or upset
Balance gambling with other activities

If you think you may have a problem with gambling, contact the National Gambling Helpline confidentially on 0808 8020 133. Alternatively, visit the Gamble Aware website at www.begambleaware.org or the GamCare website at www.gamcare.org.uk.

Self-exclusion policy

We offer a self-exclusion facility specifically for those customers for whom gambling has become a serious problem and who wish to restrict their gambling with Your School Lottery.

By entering into a self-exclusion agreement with Your School Lottery you will be prevented from using your account for a minimum period of 6 months up to 5 years (with the option of extending this if you wish). We will close your account and return any outstanding funds held in your name.

During this period of self-exclusion Your School Lottery will not distribute any promotional emails and will do all we can to prevent new accounts being opened. When the exclusion period ends we won’t contact you to ask if you would like to reinstate your account.

To facilitate gambling again, after the exclusion period you will need to contact the support team on 01865 582828 to begin the process of unlocking your account. There will be a 24 hour cooling off period at the end of which your account will be unlocked.

If you wish to proceed with our self-exclusion agreement, then please contact the support team either by telephoning 01865 582828 or by emailing [email protected] confirming the following details:

Your account number/ username and or email address
Your full name
Your date of birth
Please title your email – Self-exclusion
