Responsible Play
Throwr is a skill-based competition platform. We want everyone to have fun — and stay in control.
Entering raffles and competitions should always be enjoyable. If it ever stops feeling that way, we want to help. This page explains how to play responsibly, what tools are available to you, and where to get support.
Play Within Your Means
Only spend what you can comfortably afford to lose. Ticket prices on Throwr start from £1, but it's important to set a personal budget before you enter and stick to it. Never chase losses or spend money set aside for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.
Keep It Fun
Throwr is designed to be entertaining. If you find yourself feeling anxious, frustrated, or preoccupied with entering raffles, take a break. Healthy play means treating it as a leisure activity — not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Know the Odds
Every raffle page clearly shows the total number of tickets available. Your odds of winning depend on how many tickets are in the draw and how many you hold. More tickets improve your chances, but there are no guarantees. Our draws use a cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG) — every ticket has a fair and equal chance.
Age Restriction
You must be 18 years of age or older and a UK resident to enter any Throwr raffle or competition. We take underage participation seriously. If you believe a minor has accessed the platform, please contact us immediately via the Contact page.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a break from Throwr, you can request a self-exclusion at any time by contacting us via the Contact page. We will close your account and prevent re-registration for a minimum period of six months. We take all self-exclusion requests seriously and act on them promptly.
Parental Controls
If you share a device with children, we strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to competition and raffle sites. Tools such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, and built-in device controls can help prevent underage access.
