At AB Raffle, we believe gaming should be entertaining and enjoyable. While our raffle supports important conservation work, we recognize that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing resources for those who need support.
🎯 Our Commitment
We are committed to operating this raffle ethically and responsibly. This includes full compliance with Alberta Gaming regulations, transparent communication, and providing resources for responsible gaming.
Our raffle is designed to be fun and support conservation—not to encourage excessive or problematic gambling behavior.
📋 Know the Rules
This raffle is a licensed gaming activity regulated by Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC).
Licence #465790
Participants must be 18 years of age or older and residents of Alberta. There are strict eligibility requirements to ensure fair and legal operation.
⏰ Set Limits
Before participating, decide how much you're comfortable spending and stick to that amount. Don't exceed your budget or spend money intended for essential expenses.
Remember: purchasing raffle tickets should be viewed as entertainment and support for conservation—not as a way to make money.
🚫 Never Chase Losses
If you don't win, don't try to "make up" for it by purchasing more tickets than you originally planned. Accept that not winning is part of the game.
All gaming activities involve risk, and there's no guarantee of winning.
