Responsible Gaming

There are several basic rules that allow you to take full control of your gaming activity and help avoid most problems. Follow these simple tips in order to play responsibly on the Megapari website:

• Set limits before you start. Decide in advance how much money and time you will spend on casino games, and do not go over this number;
• Do not bet more than you can afford to lose. Remember that gambling should never affect your daily needs like food, rent, or bills;
• Take regular breaks. Long gaming sessions can make you lose focus and consciousness, so it is recommended to take at least five-minute breaks every hour;
• Never chase losses. If you have already lost a lot, then it is better to stop right now and to not try to chase your losses;
• Avoid gambling when you are upset. Do not play when you are angry, sad, stressed, or depressed, just wait until you feel calm;
• Keep balance in your life. Make sure that gambling is just one of your activities, not the main one.

Please remember that casino games at Megapari should not turn into a problem. Gambling should stay a form of entertainment, not a habit that controls you.

Megapari offers several tools that help Philippine players manage their time and money. The platform wants every user to feel safe and in control:

• Deposit limits. You can set how much you want to deposit in PHP daily, weekly, or monthly. It helps control your spending;
• Loss limits. You are able to set the maximum amount of funds that you are ready to lose. When you reach that number, the system automatically stops your further play;
• Regular reminders. Megapari always sends reminders after you have been playing for a certain time (every 30 minutes). It is a way to remind you to take a short break;
• Self-exclusion. If you ever feel like you need a break from gambling, then Megapari allows you to block access to your account temporarily or permanently. This can be done in your account settings or with the help of the Megapari customer support team.

When a person starts losing control over their gaming activity, it can cause serious troubles in real life. That is why it is so vital to be able to recognize some warning signs early:

• You spend more time on gambling than it was planned, even though you told yourself that you would stop earlier;
• You increase the size of bets in order to win back what was already lost;
• You spend money meant for essentials such as rent, bills, food to gamble;
• You feel angry, anxious or stressed when you try to reduce or stop gambling;
• You lie to your family and friends about how much time or money you spend on casino games;
• You need to bet bigger amounts of money in order to get the same level of excitement;
• You borrow money from your friends or sell things to place new bets.

If you recognize several of these signs in your own behavior or in someone you know, then it is necessary to ask for help from professionals immediately.
