Responsible Gambling at Malina Casino

Q: How do I set personal limits (deposit, loss, wager)?

Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling and choose the limit type (deposit, loss, or wager) and period (day/week/month). Decreases usually apply immediately; increases may require a waiting period.

Q: What’s the difference between cooling‑off and self‑exclusion?

Cooling‑off is a short break (no play or deposits) while your account remains. Self‑exclusion is a longer, stricter block—you can’t use the service until the selected period ends.

Q: How does the session limit work?

Set a maximum session length (e.g., 30, 60, or 120 minutes). When time is up, you’ll be logged out or gameplay will be blocked.

Q: What happens to my balance during cooling‑off or self‑exclusion?

You can’t play or deposit. Your existing balance stays linked to your account, and withdrawals follow the terms via cashier or support. Bonuses and promotions are unavailable during the measure.

Q: How do I request self‑exclusion at Malina Casino?

Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling and choose Self‑exclusion. Select a period and confirm, or contact support for an immediate block.

Q: How do I prevent minors from using my account?

Use a strong, unique password, log out after use, disable auto‑login on shared devices, lock your device, and enable parental controls.

Q: Where can I find independent help or advice?

See the Get help section at the bottom of the page for trusted organizations and contact options (chat, phone, or counselling).

What is responsible gambling?

Responsible gambling means playing for entertainment, not profit. Results are random; past rounds don’t influence future outcomes. Set time and budget limits in advance—and stick to them even when things don’t go your way. Only use disposable income and stop when your limit or planned end time is reached.

Fun, not income: view any win as a bonus, not a plan.
Budget and time: decide your spend and session length up front; use a timer if needed.
No chasing losses: don’t raise stakes to win back what you’ve lost.
Play clear‑headed: avoid gambling under the influence or during high stress, sadness, or boredom.
Take breaks: short pauses help you make better decisions.
Protect your account: 18+ only, use strong passwords, and prevent access by minors.

Worried about your play? Step away, review your limits, and take a break. Below you’ll find tools (limits, session limits, cooling‑off, self‑exclusion) and support contacts.

Warning signs of risky play

Risky habits can creep in slowly. If several points below feel familiar, pause your play, reduce your limits, and schedule a break. The tools on this page can help you regain control.

Playing longer or more often than planned and breaking promises to yourself or others.
Increasing deposits or stakes to recover previous losses.
Chasing: continuing after a loss or redepositing immediately after a cashout.
Borrowing money or delaying bills to keep playing; shifting budgets around.
Using gambling to cope with stress, boredom, or low mood instead of for fun.
Hiding spending or masking transactions and open tabs.
Irritable or restless when you can’t play or get interrupted.
Skipping obligations (work, school, appointments) or losing sleep because of play.
Constantly thinking about gambling outside play (checking balances, planning, “strategies”).

Recognition is step one. Lower your deposit, loss, or wager limits, enable a session cap, and take a cooling‑off break. If it’s still tough, consider a longer stop via self‑exclusion. In the “Get help” section you’ll find independent services and options to pause for longer.

Where do I set this up? Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling and choose the option that fits your situation. Need help or want an immediate temporary/longer block? Contact support.

Self‑exclusion in Canada

In Canada, self‑exclusion programs are available through regulated operators and provincial frameworks. Enrolling will prevent you from logging in or playing with participating providers in your jurisdiction—online and at retail venues—so you can create space to reset your habits.

What is it? A broader block outside your casino account. Regulated operators check your status at login and must deny access when applicable.
Where does it apply? With licensed providers in Canada—online and in‑venue— depending on your province or territory.
Duration: often from 6 months or longer; exact terms vary by province and are generally not cancellable early.
Effect on your accounts: no access to games, deposits, or bonuses. Withdrawals of any existing balance follow the operator’s terms via support.
How to enrol: through your provincial program or with help from a counsellor. See the “Get help” section below for guidance and contacts.

Self‑exclusion sits alongside internal tools like limits, session caps, and cooling‑off. If you’re unsure, start with lighter measures; if that’s not enough, opt for a temporary or longer self‑exclusion.

Tips for healthy play

A few simple habits keep you in control. Use the checklist below before and during each session. If sticking to your plan is hard, lower your limits or take a break.

Plan ahead: decide session length and budget; set a timer.
Pre‑set stop rule: stop when you reach your time or money limit—even after a win.
No chasing: don’t increase stakes to recover losses.
Use only your own funds: never play on credit or borrow to gamble.
Stay clear‑headed: avoid gambling under the influence or during high stress.
Build in breaks: short time‑outs prevent tunnel vision and fatigue.
Monitor your history: review your activity and adjust limits when needed.
Separate finances: keep a dedicated entertainment budget apart from bills and savings.
Entertainment mindset: treat wins as a plus, not a plan.

Spending more time or money than intended? Tighten your limits, turn on a session cap, or take a cooling‑off break. See the support options at the bottom of this page if you want extra help.

Keeping minors out

Gambling is strictly for 18+. Protect your account—especially on shared devices. Keep login details private and ensure minors cannot access your balance, games, or promotions.

Account and login: use a strong, unique password and enable extra verification where available. Avoid saving passwords in the browser and never share them.
Sign‑out and “remember me”: always log out after playing and disable auto‑login, especially on family devices.
Device security: lock your phone/PC with PIN/biometrics; use separate adult/child profiles on laptops and tablets.
Payment methods: don’t store cards or e‑wallets in the browser; require extra confirmation for payments.
Parental controls: use built‑in tools (screen time/profiles/content filters) to block gambling‑related sites and apps.
Talk about it: explain at home that gambling is 18+ and access to your account is prohibited.

Think a minor may have accessed your account? Act immediately: change your password, remove saved payment methods, review activity, and contact support to add a temporary block or extra restrictions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set personal limits (deposit, loss, wager)?

Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling. Pick the limit type (deposit, loss, or wager) and the period (day/week/month). Decreases usually apply immediately; increases may require a cooling‑off delay. Confirm your changes and review the active limits in your overview.

What’s the difference between cooling‑off and self‑exclusion?

Cooling‑off is a short break: you can’t play or deposit, but your account remains. Self‑exclusion is a longer, stricter 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.

How does the session limit work?

Set a maximum session time (for example 30, 60, or 120 minutes). When the time is up, you’ll be logged out or gameplay will be blocked. Session limits help you take planned breaks and avoid overextending.

What happens to my balance during cooling‑off or self‑exclusion?

You can’t play or deposit during the break. Your existing balance stays linked to your account, and withdrawals follow the terms via cashier or support. Bonuses and promos are unavailable while the measure is active.

Self‑exclusion in Canada: how long and where does it apply?

Provincial programs generally apply across regulated operators in your jurisdiction (online and in‑venue). Durations typically start from 6 months or longer, depending on the province. During that time, login and play are blocked.

Can I end a self‑exclusion early?

Generally no. Minimum terms (often six months or more) cannot be shortened. When the period ends, you can decide whether to renew. For lighter control, use limits, a session cap, or a cooling‑off break instead.

How do I request (internal) self‑exclusion at Malina Casino?

Go to Account → Settings → Responsible Gambling and choose Self‑exclusion. Select a period and confirm. If you want help deciding—or need an immediate block—contact support. For broader, province‑run options, see the self‑exclusion section.

How do I prevent minors from using my account?

Use a strong unique password, log out after each session, and disable auto‑login on shared devices. Lock your device and enable parental controls. See “Keeping minors out” for a full checklist.
