Our Commitment

In Responsible Gaming Microgaming's 6 Core Principles

Since 1994, Microgaming has not only built exceptional games — protecting our players has always been a core part of our mission.

Age Verification

A strict age verification process is enforced at registration. No one under 18 is permitted to create an account under any circumstances.

Setting a Deposit Limit

You can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately.

Time Control Feature

Set a time limit for your gaming session in advance. Once the time is up, the system will automatically alert you.

Break Feature

Take a gaming break anytime, from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Your account will be inaccessible for the duration of the break.

Self-Exclusion Program

Choose self-exclusion for a longer break. You can keep your account closed for anywhere from 6 months to 5 years.

24/7 Support

Our support team is always available for any issue — including conversations about problem gambling.

1. What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying gaming as a healthy, controlled form of entertainment. At Microgaming, whether you play slots, casino games, or Sports Betting, we want to make sure it never affects other areas of your life. Gaming should never take priority over family, work, or your health.

The heart of responsible gaming is this — you are in control of the game, not the other way around. Set your limits, stick to them, and if you ever feel like you are losing control, seek help immediately. Microgaming is always here for you.

Many people think responsible gaming means stopping altogether — it does not. It means playing smart. Stick to your budget, manage your time, and if you lose, step away instead of chasing it. These small habits are what keep gaming enjoyable in the long run.

Keep in mind: Gaming is entertainment — not a lottery or a source of income. Winning and losing are both part of the game. Playing only to win will always lead to disappointment.

2. Signs of Problem Gambling

Gaming addiction often develops gradually — it does not happen overnight. That is why it is important to recognise the signs early. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, it is time to take notice.

Chasing losses by continuing to play

Chasing losses — playing repeatedly to recover money you have already lost — is one of the most dangerous habits. This mindset is a strong warning sign of a deeper problem.

Losing Track of Time

Sitting down to play and losing track of hours without realising it is one of the key signs of gaming addiction.

Withdrawing from family and friends

Spending less time with family and seeing your social relationships suffer because of gaming is a serious warning sign.

Restlessness or irritability when not gaming

Feeling irritable, restless, or unable to focus on anything else when you are not gaming — these are early signs of addiction.

3. Check Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If more than 3 answers are yes, consider using our responsible gaming tools or contact support.

1

Do you find yourself spending more than your planned budget?

2

Have you ever skipped work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gaming?

3

Do you keep playing to try to win back money you've lost?

4

Have your family or friends expressed concern about your gaming habits?

5

Have you ever considered borrowing money or selling assets to cover gaming expenses?

6

Do you feel restless or bored when you are not playing?

If 3 or more answers are "Yes": Contact our support team right away or use the self-exclusion tool. This is not a sign of weakness — it takes real courage.

5. How to Build Healthy Gaming Habits

Responsible gaming does not require strict rules. A few small habits are all it takes to keep gaming enjoyable for life.

What to Do
  • Set a budget and time limit before you start playing
  • Play for entertainment only — not to make money
  • Take regular breaks — 10 minutes every hour
  • Play with a clear head — not out of anger or frustration
  • Spend time with family and friends
  • Accept losses gracefully — they're a normal part of the game
What Not to Do
  • Don't chase losses by placing bigger bets
  • Never play while drunk or exhausted
  • Never play with borrowed money or funds meant for bills.
  • Don't stay up late playing for long, unbroken sessions
  • Do not use gaming as an escape from stress or anxiety.
  • Don't rush to increase your limits
5 Steps to Safe Gaming
1
Set a Budget

At the start of each month, set a gaming budget you can afford to lose without it affecting your daily life.

2
Set a Time Limit

Decide in advance how many hours you will play per day and set an alarm.

3
Activate Limit

Activate deposit and loss limits on your Microgaming account to keep your spending in check.

4
Check In with Yourself

Review your gaming habits every week — track how much time and money you are spending.

5
Take a break when you need one

If you're feeling overwhelmed, use the cooling-off feature. Taking a break is not the same as giving up.
