Play Quebec 49 Responsibly

Responsible gaming is a fundamental principle at Loto-Québec. Québec and that means being able to play without harming oneself or others whilst ensuring that gaming remains a source of pleasure and entertainment. Here are some tips on how to play without problems:

• Set a budget for your games in advance and stick to it. Choose how much you want to spend before you start playing. Remember, it’s just a game! Don’t use the money that you need for other things, such as paying bills or buying food. If you can’t afford the maximum number of selections on a coupon, play with fewer selections. There's always next time.
• Consider the amount of time you spend playing. Too much can cut into activities you enjoy or need to do, such as work, school, or taking care of your family. If you find that you’re thinking about Quebec 49 even when you’re not playing, it might be time to take a break.
• Know when to stop playing. Never chase your losses in an attempt to regain what you’ve already lost — it could cost you even more money in the long run.
