Mr. Andrew Algeo:

The national lottery is based on small amounts purchased by large numbers of people and there are extensive protections in place for players, both under our licence but also in how PLI operates. Our lottery games, including Lotto, are designed with player safety in mind and they are approved by the regulator before they are launched. There are mandatory spend limits in place for all customers in our digital channels. We close our website and our terminals at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Our advertising conforms to our own advertising standard code as well, as those of the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland, ASAI. In addition, we have material monitoring and intervention processes in our online business. We have a "Think 21" campaign in retail. We do not accept credit cards as a payment method on our website and we have a photo-identification, ID, check our digital registration process. There is a material number of protections in place for players of national lottery games.
