We welcome the publication of this Thematic Review on Self-Exclusion Practices and congratulate the Player Protection Team at the Malta Gaming Authority.

The review highlights key findings on self-exclusion, cooling-off periods, cross-brand controls, limit-setting and Reality Check features — reinforcing the importance of strong, effective player protection measures 🎯

Self-exclusion is more than a regulatory requirement; it is a vital safeguard that helps prevent gambling harm and supports player wellbeing 🛑

We encourage all stakeholders to continue strengthening responsible gaming practices and fostering a culture of proactive compliance 🤝

Together, we can build a safer and more sustainable gaming environment for all.

Recent government data reveals that 43.1% of Maltese adults gamble weekly or almost every week — a notable increase over the past decade.

While Malta has a vibrant gambling culture, this rise in frequent gambling highlights how crucial it is to prioritise Responsible Gambling (RG) in our communities. 🧠💡

Responsible Gambling isn’t just a buzzword — it’s about ensuring healthy participation, supporting those at risk, and creating awareness around safe gambling behaviours. Whether it’s setting limits, encouraging informed choices, or providing access to support services, every step counts.

Let’s continue to promote open conversations, share resources, and look out for one another — because well-being always comes first. 🌟

Statistika governattiva reċenti turi li 43.1% tal-adulti Maltin jilagħbu logħob tal-azzard kull ġimgħa jew kważi kull ġimgħa — żieda notevoli meta mqabbla mal-aħħar għaxar snin.

Għalkemm Malta għandha kultura ta’ logħob tal-azzard vibranti, din iż-żieda fil-frekwenza tal-logħob tenfasizza kemm huwa kruċjali li npoġġu l-Logħob Responsabbli (RG) bħala prijorità fil-komunitajiet tagħna. 🧠💡

Il-Logħob Responsabbli mhuwiex biss kelma li ddoqq għal widnejk — imma permezz tagħha niżguraw parteċipazzjoni sana, nappoġġjaw lil dawk f’riskju, u noħolqu għarfien dwar imġiba sikura fil-logħob tal-azzard. Kemm jekk permezz ta’ limiti, l-inkoraġġiment ta’ għażliet infurmati, jew il-provvista ta’ aċċess għal servizzi ta’ sapport, kull pass jgħodd.

Ejja nkomplu nħeġġu konversazzjonijiet miftuħa, naqsmu r-riżorsi, u nieħdu ħsieb lil xulxin — għax il-benesseri għandu dejjem jiġi l-ewwel. 🌟
