Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Scratchers Edge ("the Site", "we", "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site.

2. About Scratchers Edge

Scratchers Edge is an independent, informational website that aggregates publicly available prize-remaining data from Canadian lottery corporation websites — including WCLC (Western Canada), BCLC (British Columbia), OLG (Ontario), and Loto-Quebec (Quebec). We track historical prize availability data to help users make more informed decisions about scratch ticket purchases.

3. Informational Purpose Only

All data and analysis provided on this Site is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes financial advice, gambling advice, or a guarantee of any outcome. Past prize availability trends do not predict future results.

• Prize data is sourced from WCLC, BCLC, OLG, and Loto-Quebec's public websites and may be delayed or contain errors.
• Data is updated periodically — not in real time.
• A ticket showing prizes remaining does not guarantee those prizes are still available when you purchase.
• We make no warranties, express or implied, about the accuracy or completeness of any data.

4. Responsible Gambling

This Site is intended for adults of legal gambling age in their jurisdiction. By using this Site you confirm you are of legal age to purchase lottery products in your province.

5. Intellectual Property

The Scratchers Edge name, logo, site design, and original content are the property of Scratchers Edge. Ticket names, images, and prize data are the property of their respective lottery corporations (WCLC, BCLC, OLG, Loto-Quebec) and are used here for informational purposes under fair dealing principles.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scratchers Edge and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this Site or reliance on any information presented here, including any losses from scratch ticket purchases.

7. External Links

This Site may contain links to third-party websites (including wclc.com, bclc.com, olg.ca, and lotoquebec.com). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of any external sites.
