Responsible Gambling Policy

As an organisation, Megabetplus is fully committed to the promotion and application of Safer Gaming and has implemented features in our gaming service that allow players to bet responsibly.

For many individuals gambling is an exciting and fun pass-time. They make careful and informed decisions about what recreational activities they wish to engage in as well as how much time and money is allocated to these activities. Gambling problems tend to occur when individuals lose all sense of fun and recreation which betting activities are designed to provide. These individuals may start seeing gambling as a way to make easy money, or even more concerning to try to win back money they have lost in the past, both running the risk of losing far greater amounts of money. Suh individuals could become disillusioned that they have the ability to change their luck and recoup their losses. Such individuals who increase their betting activity to recoup losses, both in frequency and with increased amounts, will in all likelihood result in further losses leading to a downward spiral and in extreme cases addiction.

Our primary goal is to apply and promote a policy of Safer Gambling in order to protect our customers.

This policy states that all players should gamble safely and responsibly and, in all cases, should view betting and gambling solely as a form of entertainment, in order to avoid the possible negative consequences and outcomes mentioned above.

Don't view betting as a way to "make" money but view it as a form of entertainment.
Don't bet more than you can spend from your monthly budget. You can set your own Deposit Limits by managing the safer gambling settings in your account. This can help you manage the amount of money you spend over any given period of time. (https://safergambling.megabetplus.com.cy/depositlimits)
Do not try to recoup losses, as it is highly unlikely that you will be able to win back the amounts you lost through additional betting. The risk exists that you will increase your losses.
Avoid engaging in gambling activities if you are not in a healthy state of mind as it may adversely affect the way you bet leading to an unwanted level of losses.
Avoid engaging in gambling activities if you are under the influence of alcohol and/or other legal substances that may adversely affect your perception and judgment.
You can monitor your betting activity through the Betting History link in your account (Betting History)

The provision of betting services to persons under the age of 18 is strictly prohibited by law.

Warning: Gambling can be risky and potentially harmful!
