Responsible Gaming at Golden Number Lotto
At Golden Number Lotto, the wellbeing of our players is our top priority. We are dedicated to providing a safe, enjoyable and responsible environment for everyone who participates in our lotto-style games.
Access to Golden Number Lotto is strictly limited to Australian residents aged 18 and over. Please always play within your means.
Committed to safe, fair and responsible lotto play
We are committed to upholding the highest standards in responsible gaming for Australian players. Our platform is designed to protect users from gambling-related harm and to make sure lotto remains a fun, occasional form of entertainment—not a way to make money.
Every feature we release is considered through a responsible gaming lens, from clear information about odds and outcomes, to easy-to-use limit-setting tools and fast access to professional support services.
Key principles we follow
- Protecting minors and preventing underage access
- Promoting informed decisions and healthy play habits
- Providing practical tools to stay in control
- Making help easy to find when it is needed
- Maintaining transparent, random and fair draws
- Training our team to identify and respond to risk
Guidelines for healthy gaming habits
Golden Number Lotto is built for light, enjoyable play. To keep it that way, it is important to set boundaries and be honest with yourself about how and why you play.
Remember that lotto is entirely based on random chance. No system, pattern or strategy can guarantee a result. Treat every purchase as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment or way to pay bills.
Practical tips for staying in control
- Set a personal spend limit before you play and stick to it.
- Only use discretionary funds—never borrow or use essential living expenses.
- Decide how often you will play and avoid chasing losses or “winning back” money.
- Take regular breaks and check in with how you are feeling about your play.
- Keep gaming separate from work, study and family commitments.
- Talk openly with trusted friends or family about your gaming habits.
If you find it hard to follow these guidelines, consider using our self-exclusion or time-out tools, or contact a professional support service.
18+ only – protecting young people
Golden Number Lotto is strictly available to individuals aged 18 and over. We take underage access seriously and use a combination of technology, verification checks and policy to help keep young people safe.
All accounts are subject to age verification processes to ensure compliance with Australian law. In some cases, we may request additional documentation to confirm your identity and age before allowing continued access to games or withdrawals.
How we enforce age limits
- Age confirmation as part of the registration process.
- Electronic age and identity verification checks.
- Follow-up documentation requests where required.
- Immediate account closure if underage play is detected.
- Cooperation with regulators and relevant authorities when necessary.
You must not allow anyone under 18 to use your account. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control tools on connected devices.
Check in with yourself regularly
Simple self-assessment quizzes can help you monitor your playing behaviour and identify potential risks early. These tools are not a diagnosis, but they are a useful starting point for honest reflection.
If your answers raise concerns or you feel uneasy about your habits, we strongly encourage you to take a break, adjust your limits or reach out for professional support.
Typical self-assessment questions
- Do you ever spend more than you planned on lotto games?
- Have you tried to win back money you have already lost?
- Do you feel anxious or frustrated when you cannot play?
- Have friends or family expressed concern about your gaming?
- Are bills, rent, food or other essentials ever delayed because of gaming?
- Do you hide or minimise the amount of time or money spent on lotto?
If you often answer “yes” to these questions, please consider using our self-exclusion tools and contacting Gambling Help Online or 1800 858 858 for confidential support.
Tools to pause or limit your play
We offer flexible self-exclusion and time-out features for anyone who needs a break from playing, or who wants to set firmer boundaries around their activity. Using these tools is a positive and responsible step, not a sign of failure.
Depending on your situation, you can choose shorter “cooling off” periods or longer self-exclusion terms. During these periods you will not be able to enter new draws, and in some cases new accounts may be restricted.
Managing your access
- Short time-outs – temporarily pause your ability to participate in draws.
- Longer self-exclusion – block access for an extended period.
- Spend limits – set a maximum amount you can spend over a chosen time frame.
- Session awareness – keep an eye on how often and how long you play.
- Support-led exclusion – our team can help you explore longer term options if needed.
To discuss self-exclusion or limits, please reach out via our Contact Us page so our support team can guide you through the options available.

Helping parents prevent underage access
Parents and guardians play a crucial role in protecting young people from exposure to gambling. We encourage the use of device-level and network-level parental controls to help prevent underage access to lotto and other gambling-related content.
It is also important to talk openly with children and teenagers about the realities of gambling, including the low probability of winning and the risks of developing unhealthy behaviours.
Suggested steps for parents and guardians
- Use parental control tools to restrict access to gambling-related websites and apps.
- Secure devices with strong passwords and do not share your Golden Number Lotto login.
- Avoid playing lotto games while children are watching or using the same device.
- Store payment cards and account details safely and out of reach.
- Discuss the difference between games of chance and skill-based games.
