Responsible Gambling

Our Commitment to responsible gambling

The RAF Association is committed to operating Wings Lotto in a socially responsible way. We want the lotto to be fun to play, while raising funds for our welfare programs, but not in a way that is detrimental to the vulnerable.

Whilst the majority of people do gamble within their means, for some, gambling can become a problem. It may help you to keep control to remember the following:

• Gambling should be entertaining and not seen as a way of making money
• Avoid chasing losses
• Only gamble what you can afford to lose
• Keep track of the time and amount you spend gambling
• If you want to have a break from gambling you can use our self-exclusion option by emailing us with your name, address and membership number(s). or by writing to us Wings Lotto, The RAF Association, 117 ½ Loughborough Road, Leicester. LE4 5ND.  We will then close your membership(s) for a minimum period of six months, during which time it will not be possible for the account(s) to be re-opened for any reason.
• If you need to talk to someone about problem gambling then contact GamCare.
• GamCare is a registered charity that provides confidential telephone support and counselling to anyone who is affected by problem gambling.
• GamCare can be contacted on 0845 6000 133 (local rate from UK).
