At mBitcasino, we’ve always been committed to the safety of our players and have provided the support and tools players can use to help ensure their gambling remains safe and responsible. We believe that every player should feel in control of their gaming and have access to help should they start to lose a grip on their gambling habits. Our goal is simple, and that’s to provide a secure and fair gaming environment where players can set their own boundaries, get the required support when needed, and have the ability to set limits on their losses, wagers and sessions. Gambling should never be used as a way to make money, but rather as a hobby or form of leisure.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gambling is all about having the awareness and self-control to ensure you play within your limits, both financially and emotionally. Gambling online in a responsible manner involves treating it as enjoyment and not a way to make money, and knowing when to call it a day. It’s also up to the online gambling industry as a whole to take responsible gambling seriously, and for the most part, it does. Regulatory authorities around the world require their licensees to promote responsible gambling and to provide their players with guidance, support and the tools to help them control their gambling habits and to spot when they might have a problem.

At mBitcasino, we’re big proponents of responsible gaming and understand and accept our responsibility to our players. We provide safe gambling tools, educational resources and are always willing to offer dedicated support for anyone who feels they may need help.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

We provide a variety of safe gambling tools that put you in charge of how much time and money you spend. You can set limits on your losses, bets, and sessions from within your mBitcasino account. You’re also able to set cooling-off periods and self-exclude.

Just click into ‘Settings’ and then ‘Limits’ and you’re given access to all the above. Just note that making additional changes to the limits or cancelling them completely will take 24 hours for us to process.

- Loss Limits: You can set daily, weekly or monthly loss limits on the currency of your choosing. Once that limit is exceeded, you’re unable to play real money games in the mBit lobby.
- Wagering Limits: Likewise, you can put a limit on your wagers. As soon as you’ve wagered up to that limit, you’ll have to wait until the next day, week or month, respectively.
- Session Limits: Before you start a session, you can set a time limit. Just enter the number of minutes you want to play for before you’re prevented from playing further for the day

Cooling-off Period: During a cooling-off period, you will be blocked from depositing to the casino and will be excluded from all promotional offers for the chosen period. You can set this for one day, three days, one week, one month, three months or six months.

Self-Exclusion: If you feel like you need a clean break from gambling for an extended period of time, you can self-exclude from within your account. The options are six months or one year. During that period, you will not be able to access your mBit account. If you change your mind and want to reactivate, that process takes 7 days.

On top of the above, you can also permanently close your account. Just contact our live support team and they will do that for you. However, please note that this is a permanent and irreversible action. Once closed, you’ll no longer be able to play at mBitcasino.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Half the battle is recognizing and accepting that you may have a gambling problem. Often, players don’t realize they’ve lost control until it starts affecting other areas of their lives. If you do any of the following, please consider your gambling habits and start the ball rolling to improve them by seeking help.

Spending more than you can afford: If you’re playing slots or other games using money meant for other important expenses, whether rent, bills or anything else, you might have a problem. Only use money you can spare each month that is not for anything else. Gambling should be a hobby after all.
Lying about gambling: Another key indicator is if you’re hiding your gambling from close ones or lying when asked about it. You have to ask yourself why you’re keeping it secret, as often it’s because it’s got out of control.
Chasing Losses: This is when you continue to deposit more cash and perhaps increase your betting stakes in order to recoup any losses you’ve suffered. It is a sign that you need that money and will not give up until you get it back.

You’re Not Alone – There’s Support Out There

If you’re starting to feel overwhelmed with your gambling or you’ve recognized one of the red flags mentioned previously, it’s time to seek some help. There are free and confidential support organizations that specialize in gambling addiction and player welfare.

Tips for Gambling Responsibly

Whether you feel like you might have picked up some bad habits or are looking for advice so that you don’t, we’ve listed some simple tips that could help.

Set a budget before you play

One of the most important steps to ensure you’re gambling within your financial limits is to set a budget each month. Once you’ve budgeted for more important expenses, create a budget for gambling out of what you have left. Just as important as setting it is making sure you stick to it no matter what.

Never gamble when angry or upset

If you’re angry, upset or simply in the wrong frame of mind, it is not a good idea to gamble. You might make rash decisions, bet more than you would normally or not focus on your game as you should.

Treat wins as luck and not skill

Winning and losing on most forms of gambling usually come down to chance. There’s no skill involved and nothing you did impacted the result. Therefore, when those wins do come in, do not celebrate them as if you’re some sort of gambling master. Treat them as the slice of good fortune that they are.

Take regular breaks

A tired mind can lead to mistakes or poor play. It’s important to take a break from the action at least once an hour. Walk around, refresh your mind and come back when you feel up to it. You might even decide to call it for the day.

Don’t borrow money to gamble

If you burn through your bankroll quicker than you’d hope, never ask friends or family to lend you money for gambling purposes. You’re essentially chasing losses. The thing is, should you continue to lose, you could get yourself into serious debt.

Only play for fun

If you can keep playing slots and other casino games as just a hobby or a form of entertainment, then you’re halfway to gambling responsibly already. Just play for fun and treat wins as a bonus and losses with a shrug of the shoulders. Nobody likes to lose, but if you’re gambling responsibly within a budget you set out, it won’t hurt.

Responsible Gaming Is Everyone’s Responsibility

We understand our responsibilities to the welfare of players on our platform, but the community as a whole should also do what it can to help. If you had a problem, you’d hope somebody would try to give you the support you need, so don’t ignore somebody else who is clearly struggling. Take the time to speak to them, give them advice and point them towards this blog or the mBitcasino responsible gambling page. If we all pull together, perhaps we can help to make a difference to those who struggle with addiction.
