Play Responsibly at MQ8
Protecting Minors, Take a Break and Set Your Limits.
Protecting Minors
The site is for players aged 18 and over. If you share a computer or a device, you can install filtering software to block access to gambling sites. Many free and paid filters are available. Search online for 'parental control software' and choose one that fits your household. Do not leave your account logged in or share your password. A minor who uses your account puts you both at risk. If you suspect someone under 18 is using the platform, contact support so they can help block access.
Take a Break
If you need time away, you can request a cooling-off period of days or weeks. This locks your account temporarily. For a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for a fixed term that you choose, such as six months or a year. It cannot be lifted early for any reason. To start self-exclusion, contact support in writing. They will confirm the start and end dates. During that time you cannot log in, deposit or play. After the term ends you will have to wait a further cooling-off period before you can reopen. This is your decision and you do not need to explain it.
Set Your Limits
You can set a deposit limit daily, weekly or monthly through your account settings. Loss limits and session time limits work the same way. A tighter limit takes effect straight away. Looser limits only apply after a cooling-off period of several days so you do not change your mind in the heat of the moment. Reality-check reminders show you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. You can turn them on in the lobby. These tools are free and private. No one else sees what you have chosen. Use them before you start a session, not after.
Self-Check Questions
Answer these questions honestly. Do you chase losses by playing longer or betting bigger to win back what you lost? Have you borrowed money, sold belongings or used money meant for bills to play? Do you hide how much time or money you spend from people close to you? Do you play to escape worry, boredom or loneliness? Do you need larger bets to feel the same excitement? Have you missed work, lost sleep or cancelled time with family because of gambling? One yes does not mean you have a problem, but several yeses are a reason to pause and talk to someone.
Where to Get Help
A doctor or a licensed counsellor can listen without judgement. Many people find it easier to talk to a professional first. Several free and confidential organisations exist internationally. Search for Gamblers Anonymous, GamCare or Gambling Therapy by name. Do not take a number from this page—check their own website. Telling one person you trust is usually the first step and often the hardest one. They cannot fix it for you, but you do not have to carry it alone. There is no shame in asking for help. The platform wants you to be safe, not to keep playing when it stops being fun.
The Money Facts
Gambling is entertainment you pay for, not a way to make money. The odds are never in your favour over the long run. No betting system, lucky streak or staking plan changes that. Every game is designed so the house has an edge. That is how the platform stays open. Treat any money you deposit as the cost of a night out. Once it is spent, it is spent. Do not try to win it back. There is no guaranteed outcome. Play for fun, and stop when the fun stops. If you cannot afford to lose it, do not bet it.
