Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be fun and entertaining. Here are tools and resources to help you stay in control.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means staying in control of how much time and money you spend on gambling. It means understanding the risks, setting limits, and never gambling more than you can afford to lose. Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.

All MGA-licensed operators in Malta are required by law to provide responsible gaming tools and to promote safe gambling practices. The MGA takes responsible gaming extremely seriously and has one of the most comprehensive regulatory frameworks in the world.

Responsible Gaming Tools

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to control your spending. Once set, limits cannot be increased without a cooling-off period.

Reality Checks

Pop-up notifications at set intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered, helping you stay aware of your activity.

Session Time Limits

Automatically log out after a predetermined session duration to prevent extended, uncontrolled play sessions.

Self-Exclusion

Voluntarily ban yourself from a platform for 24 hours up to permanent. The MGA maintains a unified self-exclusion database across operators.

Loss Limits

Set maximum loss amounts per session, day, or week. When you hit the limit, you cannot place further bets.

Activity Statements

Download detailed reports of your gambling activity including deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and net outcome.
