Responsible Gaming

Gambling is a form of entertainment that, when enjoyed responsibly, can be an exciting and engaging activity. However, for some individuals, gambling can become problematic and lead to negative consequences. At Mr Mega, we are deeply committed to promoting Responsible Gaming to ensure that all players have a positive, enjoyable experience while minimizing the risks associated with gambling.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gaming refers to the practice of gambling in a way that is controlled, balanced, and within an individual’s means. It encourages players to make informed decisions, set personal limits, and seek help if gambling becomes problematic. Our goal is to ensure that players are able to enjoy gambling responsibly while protecting themselves from potential harm.

Protection of Minors

At Mr Mega, we take the protection of minors very seriously. Gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 18, and it is an offense for minors to engage in gambling activities. Our website is not designed to attract children, and we actively monitor and discourage minors from attempting to participate. For detailed information on how we handle your data, please refer to our privacy policy.

To help parents protect their children, we recommend taking the following steps:

Do not leave children unattended near a computer or mobile device with access to gambling sites.
Set up passwords and parental controls to restrict access to gambling platforms.
Educate children about the dangers of underage gambling.
Use filtering and blocking software, such as Net Nanny or Betfilter, to prevent access to gambling sites.

Preventing and Managing Compulsive Gambling

While gambling is a fun and engaging activity for many, a small percentage of individuals may develop problematic gambling behaviors. We understand the importance of addressing this issue and have implemented various measures to prevent and manage compulsive gambling:

Support Team Training: Our team is trained to recognize signs of problem gambling and underage gambling and act accordingly.
Self-Exclusion Program: We offer players the option to self-exclude and block their access to the site if they feel they may be developing a gambling problem.
Deposit Limits: Players can set limits on how much they wish to deposit over a certain period to help manage their spending.
Access to History: Players can easily access their deposit history and gambling activity through their account, ensuring they remain informed about their behavior.

We encourage all players to remember:

Gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Gambling outcomes are determined by chance, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
Always gamble with the intention of having fun, and never gamble while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Is My Gambling Problematic?

It is important for individuals to be able to recognize when gambling has become problematic. If you, a family member, or a friend experience any of the following, it may be an indication of a gambling problem:

Avoiding daily responsibilities (work, school, etc.) to gamble.
Using gambling to escape from personal issues.
Trying to win back losses or spending money that was not originally intended for gambling.
Lying or stealing to fund gambling habits.
Gambling until all available funds are gone, and resorting to borrowing or using money intended for other purposes

If you answer “yes” to several of these questions, it is essential to seek help as soon as possible. We provide a variety of resources and can help guide you toward professional assistance.

How Can I Restrict My Account?

To help players stay in control of their gambling, we offer several features that allow you to set restrictions on your account. These include:

Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
Time Out: Take a break by requesting a time-out period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks.
Self-Exclusion: If you wish to take a longer break from gambling, you can self-exclude for periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years.
Reality Check: Set reminders to let you know how much time you’ve spent gambling. These reminders can help keep you aware of your gaming habits.

Additionally, you can set limits on the duration of your gaming sessions or on the use of autoplay features. If you ever feel the need for a break or want to take more control over your gaming experience, we are here to assist you.

How Can I Get Further Help?

If you ever find yourself struggling with gambling and feel you need professional help, there are numerous organizations that offer support and guidance. These include:

Gambling Therapy Helpline
