The National Lottery is committed to providing a safe, enjoyable experience for every player.
The National Lottery is operated by Allwyn Entertainment and regulated by the Gambling Commission. We are committed to player safety and responsible gambling. Playing The National Lottery should be fun, affordable and within your means — and we provide free tools to help every player stay in control.
Every National Lottery account includes free access to the following tools from account settings:
GamStop (gamstop.co.uk) allows you to self-exclude from all UK online gambling sites simultaneously, including The National Lottery. It is free, confidential and takes only a few minutes to register.
Gambling can become harmful gradually. Warning signs include spending more than planned, chasing losses, borrowing money to play, hiding gambling from loved ones, and feeling anxious when unable to play. If you recognise any of these signs at The National Lottery, use the tools above or contact our support team.
The National Lottery is strictly for players aged 18 and over. We verify age at registration and on an ongoing basis. Parents are encouraged to use parental controls on shared devices to prevent access to National Lottery and other lottery sites by under-18s.
The National Lottery works with BeGambleAware and GamCare to provide free, confidential support. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, please contact:
