Gambling should be fun, not stressful. Never treat it as a way to make money and only play with funds you can comfortably afford to lose. Below you’ll find clear guidance on responsible play, practical safeguards, and all controls available at Malina Casino: personal limits (deposit, loss, wagering), session caps, cooling‑off breaks, and full self‑exclusion. Unsure about your habits? Step back and schedule a break. 18+.
Responsible gambling means playing for entertainment, not profit. Results are random: previous outcomes don’t influence the next spin or hand. Set time and budget limits in advance and stick to them—even when things don’t go your way. Only wager with money you can miss and stop when your limit or planned end time is reached.
If you’re doubting your habits, take a step back, adjust your limits, and activate a break. Below you’ll find tools (limits, session caps, cooling‑off, self‑exclusion) and independent support contacts.
Risky behaviour often builds gradually. If several of the points below feel familiar, pause your play, lower your limits, and take a break right away. The tools on this page can help you regain control.
Awareness is step one. Reduce your deposit, loss, or wagering limits, enable a session cap and take a cooling‑off. Still struggling? Consider a longer stop via self‑exclusion. In the “Get help” section below, you’ll find impartial support services and options for temporary or extended breaks.
Take the driver’s seat with safer‑gambling tools. At Malina Casino you can set personal limits (deposits, losses, total wagers), a session limit, a cooling‑off break, or full self‑exclusion. Below is what each control does and how it affects access. Limit increases may take effect after a cooling period; decreases typically apply immediately.
| Tool | Function | Immediate impact | Duration / changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit limit | Maximum you can deposit within a chosen period (day/week/month). | Further deposits are blocked once the limit is reached. | Lowering: usually instant. Raising: available only after a waiting time. |
| Loss limit | Maximum net loss you allow per period. | Play is blocked once the set loss amount is hit. | Lowering: usually instant. Raising: available only after a waiting time. |
| Wagering limit | Cap on total stakes you can place within a period. | No new bets are allowed once the cap is met. | Lowering: usually instant. Raising: available only after a waiting time. |
| Session limit | Time cap per session (e.g., 30/60/120 minutes). | Automatic logout or game block when the timer ends. | Enable/disable or change duration in your account settings. |
| Cooling‑off | A temporary pause during which you can’t play or deposit. | Games, bonuses, and deposits are unavailable; your balance remains intact. | Fixed period (e.g., 24h–30 days); after expiry, access returns automatically. |
| Self‑exclusion | A full block of your account for a longer period. | No access to games, deposits, or promotions during exclusion. | Term is fixed; removal is only possible once the period ends per policy. |

CRUKS (Centraal Register Uitsluiting Kansspelen) is a Dutch national system that lets you exclude yourself from gambling. Once listed, you can’t log in or play with Dutch‑licensed operators—online and at physical casinos and arcades. The aim is to create space and distance so harmful patterns can break.
CRUKS works independently of internal measures like limits, session caps or cooling‑off. Think of it as a stronger, industry‑wide stop that remains active even if you switch providers. Not sure yet? Start with tighter limits or a cooling‑off; if that’s not sufficient, opt for (temporary) self‑exclusion via CRUKS.
A few simple habits keep your play on track. Use the checklist below before and during each session. If sticking to your plan is difficult, dial limits down or take a break.
Spending more time or money than planned? Tighten limits, enable a session cap, or take a cooling‑off. You’ll find trusted support options at the bottom of this page.
Gambling is strictly for 18+. Protect your account at all times, especially on shared devices. Keep login data private and ensure minors cannot access your balance, games or promotions.
Think a minor has had access to your account? Act immediately: change your password, remove stored payment methods, review your history and contact support to place a temporary block or extra restrictions.

Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling. Choose the limit type (deposit, loss, or wagering) and the period (day/week/month). Reductions usually apply immediately; increases may activate only after a cooling period. Confirm your change and review active limits in your overview.
Cooling‑off is a short break: you can’t play or deposit, but your account remains. Self‑exclusion is a stricter, longer block: you can’t use the service until the chosen period ends. Not sure which fits? Start with a cooling‑off; if needed, move to self‑exclusion.
You set a maximum session length (e.g., 30, 60 or 120 minutes). When the time is up, you’re automatically logged out or gameplay is blocked. It enforces planned breaks and prevents overlong sessions.
You can’t play or deposit during the measure. Your existing balance remains linked to your account and can be withdrawn per the terms via cashier or support. Bonuses and promos are unavailable while the restriction is active.
Registration in CRUKS applies to all Dutch‑licensed operators (online and land‑based) and lasts at least 6 months. During that period you cannot log in or play. See “CRUKS: nationwide gambling block” above for details.
No. A CRUKS registration lasts a minimum of six months and can’t be ended early. After it expires, you can choose whether to extend. For lighter control, use limits, a session cap, or a cooling‑off.
Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling and choose Self‑exclusion. Select a period and confirm. Need assistance or want an immediate block? Contact support. For a cross‑operator block, see CRUKS.
Use a strong, unique password, sign out after each session and turn off auto‑login on shared devices. Enable device locks and parental controls. See “Protecting minors” for a quick checklist.
