Mrq Casino Responsible Gambling
Mrq Casino is committed to promoting a safe and balanced approach to online gambling for customers in the United Kingdom. Gambling should always be viewed as entertainment rather than a way to make money, and it should remain an activity that fits comfortably within your personal circumstances.
This responsible gambling policy explains the safeguards, information and support available through Mrq Casino. Every customer is encouraged to understand their gambling habits, set sensible boundaries and seek assistance promptly if gambling becomes difficult to control.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility between Mrq Casino and its customers. We aim to provide a clear and accessible gaming environment where customers can make informed decisions about how, when and how much they play.
Mrq Casino promotes gambling within limits that are affordable and appropriate for each individual. We do not present gambling as a source of income, a solution to financial problems or a way to recover losses. Casino games are based on chance, and no strategy can guarantee a win or prevent losses.
Customers should only gamble with money that they can afford to lose after essential living costs and other financial commitments have been considered. If gambling stops feeling enjoyable or begins to affect your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing, take action immediately and use the support options described below.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually, and some warning signs may be difficult to identify at first. A customer may be experiencing difficulties if they regularly gamble for longer than intended, spend more than planned or feel distressed when attempting to stop.
Other possible indicators include chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, hiding gambling activity from family or friends, neglecting responsibilities, repeatedly increasing stakes, or relying on gambling to manage stress, loneliness or other difficult emotions. Feeling unable to concentrate on ordinary activities because of gambling may also be a sign that additional support is needed.
No single sign confirms that a person has a gambling problem. However, any concern should be taken seriously. Speaking openly with someone you trust, applying a break from gambling and contacting a professional support service can help prevent the situation from becoming more serious.
Self-Assessment and Limits
Before playing at Mrq Casino, consider whether gambling is compatible with your financial position, lifestyle and emotional wellbeing. Regular self-assessment can help you notice changes in your behaviour before they become harmful. You should review your gambling limits whenever your personal circumstances change.
- Deposit limits: Set a maximum amount that you can deposit over a chosen period, such as a day, week or month. Treat this amount as a firm boundary rather than a target to reach.
- Loss limits: Decide in advance the maximum amount you are willing to lose and stop playing when that limit is reached. Do not increase it to try to recover previous losses.
- Reality checks: Use reminders to monitor how long you have been playing and how much time has passed since you started. A pause can help you make a more considered decision.
- Cooling-off periods: Take a temporary break when you feel distracted, frustrated or uncertain about your gambling. A period away from play can provide useful perspective.
- Self-exclusion: If you believe that a longer or more structured break is necessary, use self-exclusion to prevent access to gambling for the selected period. Self-exclusion should be treated as a firm commitment not to play.
Limits should be set before gambling begins and should not be changed impulsively during a gaming session. If you find yourself trying to bypass your own limits, this is an important reason to stop and seek assistance.
Responsible Gaming Tools
Mrq Casino provides responsible gambling controls designed to help customers manage their activity. These features should be used proactively, not only after a concern has arisen. Customers can review and adjust their settings through the relevant account or responsible gambling area of the website, subject to any applicable restrictions.
- Deposit controls allow you to choose a maximum deposit amount for a defined period and help prevent unplanned funding of your account.
- Loss controls support decisions about the amount you are prepared to lose within a selected timeframe.
- Reality checks provide prompts during play so that you can review your session duration and consider whether to continue.
- Cooling-off options allow you to pause gambling for a temporary period when you need time away from the website.
- Self-exclusion enables you to request a longer restriction from gambling activity when a temporary pause is not sufficient.
- Account history and activity information help you review deposits, withdrawals and gaming behaviour so that your decisions are based on a clear record.
These tools cannot guarantee that gambling will remain harmless, and they are not a replacement for professional support. If you have difficulty applying a limit or feel unable to stop, use the available break or self-exclusion options and contact an appropriate support service.
Support and Assistance
If gambling becomes difficult to control, seek professional help as soon as possible. You do not need to wait for serious financial or personal consequences before asking for support. A qualified adviser can help you understand your behaviour, plan practical changes and identify further assistance where necessary.
For questions about responsible gambling controls or account restrictions, contact Mrq Casino through the customer support channel at support@mrq-casino.online. Our support team can provide information about the available account measures, although it cannot provide clinical counselling or replace independent professional advice.
The following organisations are independent external support services. They are not partners of Mrq Casino and are not operated or managed by Mrq Casino:
- GamCare provides information, advice and support for people affected by gambling-related harm.
- BeGambleAware offers independent information about safer gambling and where to find further help.
- GAMSTOP provides an online self-exclusion service for participating gambling websites and is operated independently of Mrq Casino.
The National Gambling Helpline can be reached on 0808 8020 133. It is a free, confidential support service available 24 hours a day for anyone affected by gambling, including family members and friends.
Underage Gambling
Only individuals aged +18 or older may use the Mrq Casino website. Underage gambling is not permitted. Age verification checks may be required before an account can be used fully, and customers must provide accurate information when requested.
Adults must not allow children or other underage individuals to access their account, payment methods or gambling devices. If you believe that an underage person has accessed the website or used an account, stop the activity and contact customer support promptly.
Customers should keep account passwords, payment details and devices secure. Logging out after each session and using appropriate device security can reduce the risk of unauthorised access by children or other people.
Parental Controls
Parents and guardians can take practical steps to reduce the risk of children encountering online gambling content or accessing an adult account. Use device-level parental controls, age filters and suitable content restrictions where available.
Keep gambling applications, account credentials and payment information away from children. Do not save passwords on shared devices, and consider using separate user profiles with appropriate access settings. If children use a family computer or mobile device, review browser history, installed applications and security settings regularly.
Parental controls are useful preventive measures but cannot replace supervision. Adults remain responsible for securing their accounts and devices. Any suspected underage access should be reported without delay so that appropriate action can be considered.
Tips for Staying in Control
The following habits can help keep gambling within reasonable limits:
- Decide your budget before playing and use only money set aside for entertainment.
- Set time limits as well as financial limits, and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Never chase losses or increase stakes because you hope to win back money already lost.
- Do not borrow money, use credit intended for essentials or sell possessions to fund gambling.
- Avoid gambling when you are upset, tired, under the influence of alcohol or trying to escape personal problems.
- Keep gambling separate from household bills, rent, debt repayments and other financial priorities.
- Record your deposits, withdrawals and playing time so that your overall activity remains visible.
- Talk to someone you trust if gambling is causing worry, secrecy or conflict.
- Do not regard gambling wins as regular income or use them to justify higher spending.
- Use a cooling-off period or self-exclusion immediately if you feel that your control is weakening.
Responsible gambling is easier to maintain when decisions are made calmly and in advance. A short break is always preferable to continuing while frustrated or attempting to recover losses.

Any updated policy will apply from the date it is published unless a different effective date is stated.
