Os jogos de lotaria instantânea são uma modalidade de jogo a dinheiro que na última década tem vindo a crescer rapidamente a nível nacional. Este tipo de jogo possui algumas caraterísticas que o diferenciam. No entanto, a sua acessibilidade a adolescentes a baixo da idade legal de jogo em Portugal torna esta modalidade de jogo ideal para explorar os comportamentos de jogo a dinheiro nos adolescentes. O presente estudo contou com 224 adolescentes, alunos do 10º ano de escolaridade de escolas da área metropolitana do grande Porto. O objetivo deste estudo foi explorar o papel de variáveis individuais e contextuais no envolvimento em jogos de lotaria instantânea. Obtiveram-se resultados que indicam um maior envolvimento das participantes do género feminino nos jogos de lotaria instantânea, comparativamente aos participantes do género masculino. O papel dos pares e dos familiares revelou-se importante relativamente ao envolvimento dos adolescentes em jogos de lotaria instantânea. Averiguou-se que indivíduos que se envolvem em jogos de lotaria instantânea têm, tendencialmente, pares que se envolvem nesta modalidade de jogo. O mesmo se verifica em relação aos familiares, ou seja, indivíduos que se envolvem em jogos de lotaria instantânea tem também, tendencialmente, familiares que se envolvem nesta modalidade de jogo.
