Safe play starts here
At Martin Casino, we want our players to treat gambling as entertainment only. It is not a way to make money, replace income, or recover losses. If play stops being fun or starts to feel difficult to control, the safest step is to pause and review your account settings.
All gambling must be 18+.
How to keep gambling affordable
A safe budget is one you can lose without affecting rent, bills, food or savings. Before you play, decide:
- how much you can spend in total
- how long you want to play
- whether you want to set a loss cap as well as a deposit cap
- when you will stop, even if you are winning
We recommend that players only use disposable entertainment money. If a stake, a promotion or a losing streak is pushing you beyond that limit, stop for the day and come back only if you can do so comfortably.
Warning signs to watch for
Gambling can become a problem when it starts to affect your routine, finances or mood. Common warning signs include:
- chasing losses
- increasing stakes to feel the same excitement
- hiding play from family or friends
- gambling for longer than planned
- missing work, study or family commitments
- borrowing money to continue playing
- feeling stressed, anxious or unable to stop
If one sign feels familiar, that is already a good reason to take action. If several apply, a stronger break may be needed.
Tools that help you stay in control
We support account controls that let our players manage their own limits and time online.
Deposit limits
A deposit limit controls how much you can add to your account over a chosen period. It is one of the most effective ways to keep play within budget.
Loss limits
A loss limit sets the maximum amount you are prepared to lose in a period. This can help prevent emotional decisions after a bad run.
Wager limits
A wager limit caps the total amount you can stake over a period. This is useful when you want tighter control over overall exposure.
Session limits
A session limit helps you decide how long to stay logged in before you take a break. Longer sessions can make it easier to lose track of time and spending.
Reality checks
Reality checks are reminders that prompt you to notice how long you have been playing. If you see one, use it as a cue to step back and reassess whether you want to continue.
Time-outs
A time-out is a short break from gambling. It is useful when you want distance without closing your account permanently.
Self-exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger step for players who want to prevent access for a longer period. If gambling no longer feels manageable, self-exclusion can create the space needed to regain control.
Account closure
If you no longer want to use your account, closing it may be the right choice. Choose this route if you want a clean stop rather than a temporary pause.
Blocking tools and device controls
Depending on where you live and the tools you use, blocking software and device-level restrictions may help reduce access to gambling sites and apps. Parental controls on phones, tablets, computers and routers can also be useful when a device is shared or when you want an extra barrier between you and gambling content.
For payment blocking tools, speak to your card issuer or payment provider about any gambling merchant restrictions they offer. These tools can add another layer of protection when you want to limit access to funds.
If gambling feels out of control
If you are worried about your own play, take these steps in order:
- Stop gambling now and avoid adding more money.
- Set or lower your deposit, loss, wager and session limits.
- Use a time-out if you need a short break.
- If you need a longer barrier, choose self-exclusion.
- Remove gambling apps, saved payment details and easy access from your devices.
- Tell someone you trust that you want support.
- Contact a support organisation in your location.
If you are concerned about someone else, do not argue about wins or losses. Focus on wellbeing, finances and safety, and encourage them to use limit tools or a break from play.
Support in your location
If you need specialist support, use organisations and services available where you live. In the United Kingdom and Germany, support routes may include national helplines, counselling services, health services and local advice organisations. Contact details, opening hours and confidentiality rules vary, so use the official service information for the most accurate guidance.
If you are worried about immediate safety, seek urgent help through your local emergency services or crisis support route.
Playing with a plan
A few simple habits can make a difference:
- decide your budget before you log in
- take regular breaks
- avoid gambling when tired, upset or under the influence
- never use borrowed money
- stop after a win or loss rather than trying to force a result
We want our players to stay in control, use the tools available to them and treat gambling as entertainment only.
