Responsible Gaming

Gambling always carries the risk of financial loss. The goal is entertainment, not income. You can manage play responsibly to protect your money and emotional health.

Key principles you can follow:

• Budget first. Decide how much you can afford to lose, then set deposit and loss limits to match your plan.
• Time matters. Schedule your playing time and use session limits and reality checks to avoid long betting sessions.
• No credit. Never borrow or use money needed for bills, family, or savings.
• No chasing losses. Accept outcomes and stop when your limit is reached.
• Separate funds. Keep gambling money apart from daily expenses.
• Stay clear-headed. Avoid alcohol or substances when placing bets.
• Track spend. Review your transaction history to learn your patterns and adjust.
• Protect minors. Gambling is for 21+. Keep logins private and use device-level parental controls.
• Use account tools. MegaPari provides limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion options in your profile.
• Know the policy. Read our responsible gaming policy and support information before playing.

Problem gambling has warning signs that can build over time. Gambling addiction is a serious health concern and needs timely attention.

Possible indicators include:

• Spending more than you can afford or breaking your own limits
• Chasing losses or increasing stakes to recover money
• Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
• Hiding betting from family or colleagues, or lying about losses
• Struggling at work, school, or home due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or low mood
• Repeated failed attempts to cut down or stop
• Using credit, loans, or selling items to fund play
• Neglecting bills or creating new debts
• Thinking about betting most of the day

Recovery starts by taking small, firm steps and asking for support. MegaPari offers practical tools that help you regain control.

Recommended actions:

• Set deposit, loss, wager, and session limits in Account settings before you play.
• Turn on reality check reminders so you review time and spend regularly.
• Take a time-out for short breaks, or apply self-exclusion for longer protection.
• Create a monthly budget and remove access to extra funds and credit.
• Do not bet under stress or after alcohol. Choose set times for playing only.
• Opt out of bonuses, marketing, and push alerts to reduce triggers.
• Remove saved payment methods and reduce available payment channels.
• Install gambling-blocking software on your devices to limit access.
• Share your plan with someone you trust and ask for practical support.
• Seek professional help through the services listed below and follow up.
