The Stroke Association makes every effort to behave in a socially responsible manner. You must be at least 18 years old to play our lottery and raffles, and we have measures in place to ensure we do everything in our power to control underage playing. The Weekly Lottery and raffles are an incentivised means of supporting the Stroke Association. However, before entering into any scheme which involves speculative spending, you are advised to remember the following:

• You should gamble only as a means of entertainment not to make money.
• You should only gamble as much as you can afford to lose.
• Before gambling, you should set yourself clear limits on how much you can afford to spend.

You should not attempt to gamble back money you have lost. If you think you may have a problem with gambling, contact the gambling support network, GamCare confidentially on 0808 802 0133. Alternatively, visit the GamCare website at www.gamcare.org.uk.

If we haven’t answered your question here, please get in touch.
