Tools to Keep You in Control

manalotto provides practical tools so every player can manage their gaming activity with confidence and clarity.

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period. This gives you a firm financial boundary so your gaming budget stays predictable. We strongly encourage all players to set a deposit limit before they start playing. Staying within a pre-set budget is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable long-term.

Session Time Reminders

Our platform can send you a notification after you have been playing for a set period of time, reminding you to take a break and step away from the screen. Regular breaks help you maintain perspective and prevent impulsive decisions driven by fatigue or frustration. You can configure your preferred reminder interval in your account preferences at any time. Taking short breaks is a healthy habit that keeps gaming fun rather than compulsive. We recommend setting a reminder for every 60 to 90 minutes of continuous play.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break from gaming, our self-exclusion feature lets you suspend your account for a chosen period — from 30 days up to a permanent closure. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets on the platform. We will also suppress any promotional communications to your registered contact details for the duration. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly and cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed. Contact our support team to activate this option at any time.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss threshold for any given day, week, or month. Once your net losses reach that threshold, your account will be temporarily restricted from further wagering until the limit period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want a hard stop rather than relying on willpower alone. Loss limits are applied in real time and cannot be raised without a waiting period. Setting both a deposit limit and a loss limit together gives you the strongest layer of financial protection.

Reality Checks

Reality check pop-ups appear at regular intervals during your session to show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won or lost in that time. These brief on-screen summaries are designed to cut through the immersive nature of gaming and give you an honest snapshot of your activity. You can choose the frequency of these checks in your account settings. Many players find that seeing the numbers clearly helps them make more deliberate decisions about whether to continue or stop. Reality checks are enabled by default for all new accounts on manalotto.

Support Access

Our customer support team is available around the clock to assist with any responsible gaming concerns, account restrictions, or questions about the tools described on this page. You can reach us through the live chat feature on the platform or by emailing support at manalotto.org. We treat all responsible gaming enquiries with the highest level of confidentiality and care. Our team is trained to listen without judgement and to help you find the right solution for your situation. You can also visit our FAQ page for quick answers to common questions about account controls.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Knowing the warning signs early makes it much easier to take action before gaming becomes a serious problem.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to recover what you have lost.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems.
  • Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or social activities because of time or money spent on gaming.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or hiding financial losses from family members or close friends in order to fund gaming activity.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gaming but finding it difficult to follow through, or feeling a loss of control over how much time or money you spend.

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Treat gaming purely as entertainment and set a fixed budget before you start — only ever play with money you can comfortably afford to lose.
  • Take regular breaks, balance gaming with other hobbies and social activities, and never play when you are tired, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Accept that losses are a normal part of gaming and never chase them — the outcome of each game is determined by chance, not skill or persistence.
  • Use the account tools available on manalotto — deposit limits, session reminders, and reality checks — to keep your gaming activity within boundaries you are comfortable with.
