1 mari44's Commitment to Players

At mari44, we believe a responsible entertainment platform is the foundation of player trust. Responsible gaming is not just a slogan for us — it is how we operate every day. Since this platform launched, we have invested in systems and tools designed specifically to help members stay in control.

Our commitment includes ensuring all games use independently audited RNG, providing transparent information on winning odds, and making self-control tools accessible to members at any time without waiting for third-party approval.

2 Early Warning Signs to Watch For

Gambling problems rarely appear overnight. They usually begin with small shifts in habit that are hard to notice at first. Here are some warning signs you should take seriously:

Playing longer than planned, or struggling to stop even when you intended to.
Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gameplay.
Playing to "chase" losses — continuing to play in the hope of recovering money already lost.
Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to excessive time spent playing.
Lying to loved ones about how much time or money you have spent on gambling.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when not playing for a period of time.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, that is not a sign of weakness — it means it is time to take proactive steps. Contact our team or use the self-exclusion tools we provide.

3 Self-Control Tools Available at mari44

All self-control tools are accessible directly in your account settings without needing to contact support first. They are designed to be easy to use and take effect immediately once you set a limit.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit within your chosen time period. Once this limit is reached, the system will automatically block additional deposits until the limit period expires. You can lowering the limit at any time, but for raising the limit, there is a 7-day waiting period to give you time to reconsider.

Loss Limit

In addition to deposit limits, you can also set a maximum loss limit within a defined period. This means that once your losses reach the amount you set, the system will block you from continuing play for that period — even if you still have a balance in your account.

Session Time Limit

Set a limit on how many hours you can play per day. Once this time is up, your gaming session will end automatically. You can also choose to receive reminders after 30 minutes or 1 hour of play as a way to stay aware of the time you have spent.

Temporary Break (Cooling-Off)

If you feel you need a short break, the temporary break option lets you block access to your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this period, you cannot log in or make any deposits. Your account balance remains safe and will be accessible again once the break period ends.

Self-Exclusion

For those who need a more serious measure, self-exclusion allows you to close your account permanently or for a minimum period of 6 months to 5 years. This option cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Any remaining balance will be returned to you via your original payment method.

Important Notes on Self-Exclusion: If you choose self-exclusion, we also encourage you to contact any other platforms you use and do the same. Self-exclusion at mari44 applies to our platform only.

4 Guide to Healthy Play

Playing responsibly does not mean you cannot play. It means you play in a way that does not affect your life. Here are some simple guidelines we recommend to all members mari44:

  • Set fixed budget before you start playing and stick to it without exception.
  • Think of the money you use to play as entertainment cost, just like money set aside for a movie or dinner out.
  • Never play when you are angry, stressed, or unwell — an unstable emotional state impairs your judgement.
  • Take regular breaks while playing. Stand up, drink some water, and take a short break before continuing.
  • Never play to chasing losses. Losses are part of the game and do not need to be recovered within the same session.
  • Keep play does not interfere with sleep, meals, or time with family.
  • A mari44 account is for personal use only; do not allow others to play using your account.

5 Minor Protection

Mari44 takes the protection of minors very seriously. Our platform is intended for individuals aged Ages 18 and above only. We enforce age verification during registration and a strict KYC process to ensure no underage individual can access our services.

If you share a device with younger family members, we encourage you to:

  • Always log out of your mari44 account when not in use.
  • Use a strong password that others cannot easily guess.
  • Enable a screen lock or PIN on your device.
  • Consider using parental control software on shared devices.
