responsible gaming
The Lottery application makes available the “Responsible Gaming” tool, which is a page with information on all actions taken by Caixa to prevent society from being harmed by betting, such as the ban on under-18s.
On the page, it is even possible to take a test, called self-assessment, which assesses whether the player is compulsive and needs help. “This test is valid for any type of money bet (gambling), and is based on the criteria for a brief assessment of the prevalence of Gambling Disorder”, says Caixa.
