Idaho Lottery teams up with 2024 Gift Responsibly campaign
The lottery will serve as a level 2 participant.
Key Points
- The state lottery is legal for players 18 and older
- The National Council on Problem Gambling has organized the nationwide campaign
The Idaho Lottery has joined a group of other lotteries and community organizations in this year’s Gift Responsibly campaign to “raise awareness about the risks of underage lottery use.”
The RG effort this year was organized by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), with the support of North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL).
The lottery said in a statement, “The Idaho Lottery works with its network of 1200 retailers to provide strict security measures to safeguard against underage youth purchasing Lottery products.”
Idaho Lottery Director Andrew Arulanandam noted that the state’ retailers have played a significant role in encouraging responsible play.
He commented, “Thanks to our vigilant retailers and the efforts of the Idaho Lottery, our state is fortunate that underaged gaming is not an issue.
“Nevertheless, we support this national effort because it dovetails with our year-round Play Wise initiative that provides resources to ensure Idahoans of age play responsibly.”
Good to know: Players younger than 18 are considered underage in Idaho
Arulanandam added that the lottery discourages the sale of its products to underage patrons.
He concluded by saying, “Idaho law is very clear that you must be 18 years old to buy, sell, or redeem lottery products.
“We take this matter seriously. Our products are entertaining, but also age controlled. Many people gift our games during the holidays to friends, family, and co-workers. We want to remind everyone to enjoy playing and to please gift responsibly.”
