Responsible Gambling

Gambling as Entertainment

Gambling should be viewed solely as entertainment, never as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Most people who gamble do so for fun and remain in control. However, for some individuals, gambling can become problematic. This page provides information about recognising warning signs, using control tools, and accessing support.

By law, you must be at least 18 years of age to use this site and participate in any gambling activities.

Key Principles of Responsible Play

Responsible gambling is built on three core ideas:

Set limits and stick to them. Decide in advance how much time and money you are willing to spend. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, such as rent, bills, or savings for essentials.

Avoid chasing losses. If you lose money while gambling, do not try to recover it by gambling more. The odds favour the house; continued play increases loss, not recovery.

Take regular breaks. Spend time away from gambling. Maintain a balance with other hobbies, relationships, and responsibilities.

Control Tools Available on Our Platform

Mega Riches Casino UK provides built-in features to help you manage your gambling:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, deposits are blocked until the period ends.

Session Time-Out: Temporarily close your account for a set period (hours to days) to take a break without losing access permanently.

Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from the site for a period you choose (typically 6 months to several years). During exclusion, you cannot log in or place bets.

Cooling-Off Period: Request a mandatory pause of 24 hours or more before making changes to your account settings.

To activate any of these tools, visit your account settings or contact our support team.

Self-Assessment: Am I in Control?

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you spend more time or money on gambling than intended?
  • Have you tried to cut back or quit but found it difficult?
  • Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or sadness?
  • Do you chase losses by gambling more to try to win money back?
  • Have friends or family expressed concern about your gambling?
  • Do you hide your gambling or lie about how much you spend?
  • Have you borrowed money to gamble or gambled with money meant for bills?

If you answered "yes" to more than one question, it may be time to use our control tools or seek external help.
