FOUNDATION'S BACKGROUND

The Responsible Gaming Foundation was founded on the 18th February 2014 by the then Parliamentary Secretary for Competitiveness and Economic Growth Edward Zammit Lewis and by the then Social Solidarity Minister Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca. The requirement for an independent Foundation emerged following the debate in Parliament on the amendments of the Lotteries and Other Games Act (Cap.438 of the Laws of Malta) to introduce regulations governing land-based gaming parlours.

You can also call our supportline to book an appointment at our offices to get help as regarding self-exclusion or for any further support.

SELF-EXCLUSION

Gamblers can self-exclude themselves from casinos, gambling parlours and bingo halls, all licensed with the Malta Gaming Authority. Self-exclusion periods vary from 6 months, one year, an indefinite period or an auto-renew option. According to the New Gaming Act, if a gambler wants to self-exclude for an indefinite period, a medical certificate is still requested, and always bring a valid ID Card. Also, the Foundation now offers free blocking software to help those struggling with gambling addiction. Such software - BETBLOCKER and GAMBAN - can be easily downloaded and installed on various devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones. These blocking software are designed to restrict access to gambling sites and other online content that may trigger addictive behaviours. Call 1777 to book an appointment today.
