Playing should bring enjoyment, not stress. mtown provides self-control tools, clear guidelines, and ongoing support so every gaming session stays fun and in control.
Play Smart
This platform is for users aged 18 and above only. Gambling can become a harmful habit. Know your limits.
Responsible gaming means enjoying betting and online casino activities as a form of entertainment — not as a way to generate income or escape life's problems. At mtown, we believe every member deserves a safe, fair, and fully controlled gaming experience.
We understand that the majority of mtown members play casually and manage their spending well. However, we also recognise that some individuals may face challenges in controlling their gambling activity. That is why mtown invests in comprehensive self-control tools and ongoing support programmes.
Responsible gaming is not just about setting limits — it is about understanding your motivations, recognising early warning signs, and knowing when to take a break. mtown supports you throughout this journey, because our members' wellbeing matters more than any business gain.
Experts recommend daily play time limits to prevent addiction:
All these tools are available free of charge to every registered mtown member. You have full control over your gaming experience.
Set the maximum amount you can deposit per day or per week. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits until the limit period resets.
Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with over a given period. Once this limit is reached, your account will be temporarily blocked from placing new wagers.
Set a maximum play time for each session. When time is up, the system will notify you and can automatically log you out to help you manage your play time.
Need a break? Activate a self-exclusion for 24 hours, 3 days, one week, or one month. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place any bets on the mtown platform.
If you feel that gaming has had a negative impact on your life, you may apply for permanent self-exclusion. This request cannot be reversed and your account will be permanently closed.
Enable periodic reminders that display your total time played, total amount wagered, and current account balance — helping you stay aware and make smarter playing decisions.
All of the following limits can be configured in your Account Settings.
| Limit Type | Available Period | Effective Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | Active |
| Loss Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | Active |
