Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Maharani Lounge, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Casino games are games of chance, and the house always has a mathematical advantage. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never use gambling as an investment strategy or income source.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction) to use Maharani Lounge. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. By accessing our website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in the United Kingdom.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour or that of someone you know, it may indicate a problem with gambling:

• Spending more money or time gambling than intended
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Borrowing money to gamble or gambling with borrowed funds
• Neglecting family, work, education, or other responsibilities due to gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
• Relationships suffering due to gambling habits
• Financial difficulties caused by gambling

If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools & Controls

Maharani Lounge provides several tools to help you manage your gaming responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly).
• Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose during a session or over a period of time.
• Reality Checks: Receive periodic reminders during gaming sessions to help you stay aware of how long you have been playing.
• Self-Exclusion: Exclude yourself from gaming for a period of your choosing, during which you will be unable to access your account.
• Account Closure: Permanently close your account if you wish to stop gaming entirely.

These tools are available in your account settings. We encourage you to use them.
