Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling is the provision of safe, socially responsible and supportive gambling environments where the potential for harm associated with gambling is minimised and people can make informed decisions about their participation in gambling.

 

Informed Consent

yourtown Prize Draws minimises risk to Art Union supporters and helps supporters make informed decisions about their participation through a responsible gambling framework. Its purpose is to ensure that we actively minimise or eliminate harm to supporters arising from gambling problems and the like.

While the nature of our Art Union lotteries poses an inherently lower risk profile when compared to commercial lotteries or other betting services, as a responsible member of the community, we strive to protect our supporters from harm.

Only you can decide how much time and money you want to spend on gambling. You should spend only what you can afford to lose.

When gambling on charitable and non-profit activities, you should remember that these games are products of chance and randomness and there is no guarantee that you will achieve the winning outcomes. Your odds of winning a prize are related to the number of tickets sold in each lottery. The total number of tickets available in each lottery can be found in the Terms and Conditions of the specific draw you have purchased in.

Self-Assessment

Gambling Help offers various tools to check on your spending.

  • Take a quiz with the Self-Assessment Tool
  • Not sure how much you are spending each week on gambling activities, use their Gambling Calculator to find out
