Responsible Gambling at Magius Casino — Tools & Support
Gambling is entertainment. It also carries real financial risk — that's not a disclaimer, it's a fact worth keeping in mind. Magius Casino provides a set of tools that let you manage your own gambling activity directly. They're available from your account settings without needing to contact support.
This page explains what tools are available and how they work, what signs indicate problematic gambling behaviour, and where to find independent support.
Available Responsible Gambling Tools
All tools below are accessible directly from your Magius account settings.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week or month. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the next period. A reduction takes effect immediately. An increase is subject to a system-enforced waiting period — typically 24 to 72 hours. That delay is deliberate: it slows down impulsive decisions made in moments of heightened emotion.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum net loss over a chosen time period. When that threshold is hit, real-money games are temporarily blocked. Useful if you want to draw a firm line without restricting your deposit amount in general.
Session Limits
Cap the length of a playing session. When the set time expires, a reminder appears. You can choose to continue or stop — it's a prompt, not an automatic lock. But a well-timed reminder works better than most people expect. Most excessive sessions don't start with a conscious plan to overdo it.
Temporary Pause (Cool-Off)
If you need a break without permanently closing your account, the temporary pause is the right option. You choose a period — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or longer — and during that time login and deposits are not possible. The pause cannot be lifted before it expires. That's the point of it.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most significant step. It closes your access for an extended period — from several months to permanent. Unlike the temporary pause, self-exclusion is not easily reversed. If you're considering this, support can guide you through the process. It's a decision that deserves to be made calmly and without rushing.
Warning Signs of Problematic Gambling
Problem gambling develops gradually. The boundary isn't always clear from the inside. Some recognisable patterns:
- Gambling with money set aside for fixed expenses — rent, food, bills
- Needing to bet more to feel the same level of excitement as before
- Chasing losses by continuing to play after a losing session
- Hiding gambling activity from a partner, family or friends
- Feeling anxious, irritable or guilty in connection with gambling
- Thinking about gambling frequently outside of actual sessions
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Recognising one or more of these patterns doesn't mean the situation is beyond help. It's a signal to act — not a reason for shame.

Protection of Minors
Magius Casino is accessible to players aged 18 and over only. Age is verified through the KYC process. Accounts belonging to minors are closed immediately and deposits are refunded.
If you share a device with minors, consider using parental control software to block access to gambling sites. Solutions such as Net Nanny, Qustodio or the built-in family controls on iOS, Android and most browsers can be configured for this purpose.
A Final Note
Gambling is not a strategy for generating income. Outcomes are random, and mathematically the house always holds an edge — in every game, on every platform, without exception. Playing within a pre-set budget — an amount you can afford to lose — is the only approach that keeps gambling functioning as entertainment over the long term.
When gambling stops being enjoyable, stopping is the right call. The tools are there. Use them.
