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
