RESPONSIBLE GAMING

We want people to play our games for the right reason—simply to have fun. At PSMPLAY, we are committed to Responsible Gaming and strive to provide an entertaining experience that those above the legal age limit* can enjoy in a safe, secure, and fair environment.

To ensure responsible gambling, keep these guidelines in mind:

  • Consider gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a quick path to wealth or a solution to financial problems.
  • Remember that gambling is not a reliable way to earn money; most people end up losing more than they gain.
  • Only bet what you can afford to lose without affecting your financial stability.
  • Avoid using funds that are needed for your regular living expenses for gambling purposes.

Establish personal limits for your gambling activities. This might involve setting restrictions on the amount of time you spend gambling, the weekly budget you allocate, the deposit limits for your account, or the maximum loss you can afford. Resist the urge to chase after losses.

Be cautious if you find yourself wondering about your gambling luck. Don’t let this influence your gambling behaviour. Avoid relying on gambling horoscopes or websites claiming to predict lucky days for gambling. Such claims are unfounded and gambling outcomes are entirely based on chance.

The minimum age for participating in gambling activities is 18 .

If you’re concerned about your gambling habits, it’s important to know how to address it before it becomes a significant issue. Reliable gambling sites offer features to help manage your behaviour, such as:

  • Profit and loss graph: View an easy-to-understand visual representation of your wins and losses over time.
  • Reality check: Set up pop-up reminders at intervals to prompt you about whether you wish to continue playing.
  • Choose to take a break from gambling for a set period (usually with a minimum duration). To set up a self-ban, contact customer service for help.
  • Responsible gambling information: For guidance on responsible gambling and support, visit the Responsible Gaming Foundation’s website at www.rgf.org.mt.

If you notice signs of problematic gambling behaviour:

  • Seek support from a trusted friend or attend a Gamblers Anonymous meeting.
  • Engage in other enjoyable activities to distract yourself and prevent isolation; find healthy ways to socialize.
  • Delay your gambling activities by giving yourself a longer break, which might reduce the urge to gamble.
  • Take a moment to reflect on the potential consequences of gambling and how it affects your emotions.
