Responsible Gaming Policy

The goal of the Manitoba Lotteries’ Responsible Gaming policy is to further our commitment to our customers, employees, stakeholders and suppliers; to advocate the responsible use of its gaming products; to reduce the potential for harm from gaming involvement, and to promote the necessary services available to Manitobans with gambling problems.

  • Incorporate into the Corporation’s products and promotional materials, where reasonable and appropriate, statements providing Responsible Gaming messages.
  • Utilize the Manitoba Lotteries Casino Advertising Rules of Conduct, which includes not promoting lifestyle changes and not promoting gaming to children and youth, in Manitoba Lotteries Product or Corporate advertising.
