Play Responsibly
Responsible Gambling
Our commitment to operating our raffle in a responsible and ethical manner.
Our Commitment
KADS Drama is committed to operating our raffle in a responsible and ethical manner. We recognise that gambling, while an enjoyable way to support our charitable mission, can be harmful if not practised responsibly. We take this responsibility seriously and have implemented measures to protect all participants.
Understanding Your Limits
Before purchasing raffle tickets, please consider the following:
Set a Budget
Decide in advance how much you can comfortably afford to spend on raffle tickets. Treat this as entertainment, not as a means of making money.
Never Chase Losses
If you haven't won, don't increase your spending to try to recoup losses. Remember that each draw is entirely independent.
Keep Perspective
The odds of winning are fixed. Raffle tickets should be purchased for entertainment and to support our charitable cause — nothing more.
Set Time Limits
Don't spend excessive time thinking about or purchasing tickets. Set personal limits on how often you choose to participate.
Warning Signs
If you experience any of these signs, please seek help:
- Difficulty controlling how much you spend on raffle tickets
- Spending more time and money than intended on gambling
- Using raffle tickets as a way to escape from personal problems
- Being dishonest with family or friends about gambling activities
- Experiencing financial difficulties as a result of gambling
- Feeling anxious or low due to gambling
