What does a time budget do?

Time budget - Will budget the amount of time you may play on PAiLottery.com during the prescribed period.

Example: If you set a monthly budget for time of X hours, once your total monthly session time hits that many hours you will no longer be able to play for money. Your time will reset at 1:00 a.m. on the first of the following month. It is important to note that this counts session time, not necessarily the time spent actively playing games on PAiLottery.com.

Note: Time budget do not budget the amount you deposit or risk during the time.

Responsible Gambling budget Combinations

Consider setting a combination of various budgets to help ensure you are playing responsibly.

Example 1: In addition to setting a daily spend/loss budget, you could set a monthly budget.

Example 2: Combine a monthly spending/loss budget with a daily time budget.  

Example 3: Combine a monthly deposit budget, a time budget, and a daily loss budget.
