Main24 Gaming Control Tools

Six key features we provide to help you stay fully in control

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the amount you can deposit each day or week directly from your account settings. The limit takes effect immediately and helps you manage your gaming budget more wisely.

Game Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for your play session — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or more. When the limit is reached, the system will send an automatic alert so you can take a break instead of playing on without realising it.

Temporary Self-Exclusion

Need a break? You can choose to temporarily self-exclude — for 24 hours, a week, or a month — without permanently closing your account.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you believe gaming has seriously affected your life, you may request a permanent account closure. Our team will process the request within 24 hours.

Periodic Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount you are willing to sustain within a given period. Once this limit is reached, your account will be automatically restricted to prevent further losses.

Activity Reminders & Reports

Receive weekly reports directly to your email covering your gaming activity, total deposits, and time spent. Stay aware of your playing habits with clear, easy-to-understand data.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means participating in any form of wagering or online gaming purely as entertainment — not as a way to generate steady income, resolve financial problems, or escape life's pressures.

At main24, we take this seriously. We understand that while most users play in a healthy and controlled manner, some may face the risk of addiction or issues related to excessive gaming. That is why we invest in a comprehensive gaming control infrastructure — not merely to meet licensing requirements, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of our users.

Responsible gaming involves a few core principles: playing with money you can afford to lose, setting realistic time and money limits, not chasing losses, and accepting that game outcomes are random and unpredictable. When you play with the right mindset, gaming becomes more enjoyable and less of a burden.

Remember: main24 only allows users aged 18 and above. If you find any underage individual using your account, please contact us immediately for the appropriate action.

Warning Signs You Should Recognise

One of the most important aspects of responsible gaming is self-awareness. Many people do not realise their gaming habits have shifted from entertainment to dependency. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or your loved ones:

You feel the need to increase your wagering amount to experience the same level of excitement as before.

You continue playing even after promising yourself to stop, or you break the limits you have set.

Gaming begins to interfere with your daily responsibilities — work, family, school, or your social relationships.

You borrow money or use your savings for the purpose of playing.

You feel restless, angry, or stressed when you are unable to play.

You hide your gaming activity from family members or friends.

You play as a way to escape from problems or negative feelings.

If you recognise yourself in any of the signs above, that is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of self-awareness. Contact the main24 support team or refer to the help resources we have listed below. Help is available and free.

Tips for Playing Smart at main24

Playing smart means you are in control of the game — not the other way around. Here are the practical tips we recommend to all main24 members:

  • Set a budget before you play. Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening any game. Treat it as an entertainment cost, like a movie ticket or a restaurant meal.
  • Do not chase your losses. If you have reached your loss limit, stop. Chasing losses is one of the leading causes of more serious gambling problems.
  • Take regular breaks. Take a break at least every hour. Use the session time limit tool available in your account.
  • Do not play when you are emotionally unstable. Avoid playing when you are feeling sad, stressed, angry, or under the influence of alcohol. Decisions made in such states are rarely sound.
  • Gaming is not an investment. There is no guaranteed strategy that ensures wins. Every game is designed on random probability — accept this as fact.
  • Use the available control tools. main24 provides deposit limits, time limits, and loss limits that you can activate for free. Use them.
  • Play for fun, not to win. Wins are a bonus — not the main goal. When you play with this mindset, the gaming experience becomes more enjoyable and relaxed.

main24 users who activate limit controls are proven to enjoy longer, healthier, and more consistent play sessions compared to those who play without any limits.

How to Use the Control Tools at main24

All gaming control tools are accessible directly from your account settings page on main24. The process is straightforward and does not require you to contact customer support, except for permanent self-exclusion requests. Here is a quick guide:

💰

Deposit Limit

Login → Account Settings → Gaming Controls → Deposit Limit. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit. Takes effect immediately.

⏱️

Session Time Limit

Login → Account Settings → Gaming Controls → Time Limit. The system will send an alert when the limit is reached.

⏸️

🔒

Permanent Self-Exclusion

Contact main24 support via live chat or email. Requests are processed within 24 working hours.

Once any limit is set, we will not allow it to be increased immediately. A mandatory waiting period of 24 to 72 hours applies depending on the limit type, ensuring your decision is made with careful consideration rather than on impulse.

Child Protection and Underage Access

Main24 takes child protection extremely seriously. Our platform may only be used by individuals aged 18 and above. The strict identity verification (KYC) process we implement is not only for legal compliance, but also serves as the first line of defence against underage access.

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend the following steps:

  • Always log out of your main24 account when it is not in use.
  • Do not save your account password in the browser on a shared device.
  • Enable your device's screen lock with a PIN or fingerprint.
  • Use the parental control features available on your device's operating system.
  • Do not share your main24 account login details with anyone.

If you suspect an underage individual has accessed your account, please contact the main24 support team immediately. We will help you review account activity and take the appropriate action.
