18+

Age limit and responsible gambling

You must be 18 or over to play the Pinkston Panthers Lottery. The legal minimum age for society lotteries in Great Britain is 16, but we have chosen a strict 18+ policy. We carry out age and identity checks; entries from anyone under 18 are void, the money is refunded and no prize is paid.

Lotteries are a form of gambling. Play for fun and to support the club, never to make money or to recover losses. Set a budget you can afford and stick to it.
