Responsible Gaming

Gambling is entertainment and always carries the risk of financial loss. Plan your play and protect your budget.

Practical tips to stay safe:

• Decide a fixed budget before you start and stick to it.
• Set time limits and use timers or the in‑site tools.
• Treat winnings as a bonus, not income.
• Never chase losses; stopping is a strong choice.
• Keep gambling separate from essential expenses.
• Avoid play when stressed, tired, or under the influence.
• Track your spending and playing sessions regularly.
• Protect minors; under 18s must not gamble.
• Keep balance in life: work, study, family, and hobbies.
• Use MegaPari tools such as deposit limits, reality checks, cool‑off, and self‑exclusion.

Early warning signs can be subtle. Honest self‑check helps you act in time.

Gambling addiction is a serious condition that needs attention.

Possible indicators:

• Spending more money or time on betting than planned.
• Hiding gambling from family or friends.
• Chasing losses or making riskier bets to recover money.
• Borrowing, selling items, or missing bills to fund play.
• Irritability, anxiety, or low mood when not gambling.
• Using gambling to escape stress, sadness, or boredom.
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop.
• Neglecting work, study, or relationships due to play.
• Thinking about betting most of the day.
• Ignoring limits and continuing despite harm.

Taking structured steps reduces harm and restores control. MegaPari supports your decisions to pause or stop.

Useful actions you can take now:

• Set strict deposit and loss limits before any session.
• Turn on reality checks and session reminders.
• Choose a cool‑off period to step back and review.
• Use self‑exclusion if you need a longer break.
• Remove saved payment methods to slow impulsive deposits.
• Opt out of marketing messages in your account settings.
• Keep a gambling diary and share it in counselling.
• Block gambling apps and sites using tools like BetBlocker.
• Ask a trusted person to help monitor budgets and access.
• Contact MegaPari support and request responsible gaming assistance.
