Kids Are Too Young To Gamble.


This holiday season, keep in mind:


      • Lottery tickets can expose kids to gambling, which is illegal for anyone under 18.


    • Youth who start gambling are more likely to develop problems later in life, such as gambling struggles or higher anxiety.



Here are some ways to gift a bright future:


      • Gift experiences, quality time, or educational items.


    • Avoid gifting items that include or encourage gambling, like lottery tickets, videogame loot boxes, or blind boxes.



Gift responsibly this year and start a conversation about gambling with your kids. Talking to your child about the facts will help your them make healthy choices.

What do I need to say?

  • Find out what they already know
  • Teach them the facts
  • Be prepared to answer your child’s questions
  • Give them clear rules
  • Talk with them about how to say “no”
