Betting always involves financial loss risk. Plan your play so losses never affect essentials. The tips below can help you enjoy responsibly.

• Set a budget you can afford to lose; use deposit and loss limits.
• Decide time slots and stick to them; enable reality checks and session limits.
• Treat gambling as leisure, not income or a way to recover money.
• Avoid betting when stressed, tired, or after drinking.
• Do not chase losses; take a pause and review your play.
• Track spend and bets in your account history.
• Use time-out or self-exclusion if control feels hard.
• Keep minors away from devices and payment methods.
• Read the responsible gaming policy and learn about the tools available on MegaPari.

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Watch for these warning signs and act early.

• Feeling irritable, anxious, or low when not gambling.
• Missing work, classes, or social plans due to betting.

• Struggling to pay bills because of gambling.
• Trying to cut down and failing multiple times.
• Using betting to escape stress, loneliness, or depression.
• Playing longer than planned, ignoring limits and reminders.
