Responsible gambling

Betting should be entertainment, not income.

This page is not a substitute for professional support. If gambling is causing harm, please reach out to a specialist service — help is available and confidential.

In an emergency

If gambling is causing serious harm to you or someone else, contact the Responsible Gaming Foundation (Malta) or a qualified support service. In immediate danger, call local emergency services on 112.

Set a budget

Decide what you can afford to lose before you start. Never move that limit up mid-session and never borrow to bet.

Set time limits

Long sessions and late-night betting are correlated with impulsive decisions. Use deposit and session limits on your operator account.

Take breaks & self-exclude

Cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools work. Every licensed operator on Bet.mt links to their responsible gambling tools.

Where to get help

Support is free and confidential in Malta. Reach out early — help is easier the sooner you ask.
