Lottery & Gambling

Lotteries and gambling may be new experiences for some international students, particularly those from Nepal, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It’s important to be aware of how these activities work in the UK. Lotteries and gambling can offer a chance to win big and a temporary thrill, and they can easily make you addicted it. We recommend never do lottery and gambling, not even 1p. If you do, it’s crucial to gamble responsibly.

Lotteries:

National Lottery: Choose numbers for a chance to win big prises in Lotto, EuroMillions (pan-European lottery) or Thunderball (smaller, frequent draws).
Other Options: Try instant-win scratchcards or explore various online lottery-style games.

Gambling:

Sports Betting: Wager on sports like football, horse racing, and more.
Casino Games: Play classics like roulette, blackjack, poker, and slots at land-based casinos or online platforms.
Bingo: Mark squares on cards to win prises in this popular game of chance, played in halls or online.

Important Note:

Age Limit: You must be 18 or older to participate in any lottery or gambling activity.
Responsible Gambling: Gambling should be for fun, not a way to make money. Set limits, take breaks, and be aware of the risks of addiction.
- Support resources are available if you need help (see below).

The UK Gambling Commission ensures fairness, transparency, and responsible practices. Operators must implement measures to prevent addiction, including:
