Responsible Gaming at Merlin

At Merlin Casino, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable and entertaining experience. We are firmly committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing our players with the tools, resources, and information they need to stay in control. Our responsible gaming framework is an integral part of how we operate, and we take our duty of care to every player seriously. If you ever feel that gambling is becoming a problem, we are here to help.

Our Commitment to Safe Play

Here at Merlin Casino, we hold a licence issued by the Anjouan Gaming Board (licence ALSI-202501043-FI2), and we operate in full compliance with the regulatory standards set by the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros. Responsible gaming is not simply a legal obligation for us — it is a core value that shapes every aspect of our platform. We are operated by Wild Blackfin Limited SRL, a company incorporated in the Republic of Costa Rica, and we take our responsibilities as an international operator seriously across all markets we serve.

Our Merlin Casino platform is designed with player wellbeing in mind. We encourage all players to treat gambling as a form of entertainment, never as a source of income or a way to resolve financial difficulties. Before using the Merlin Casino login to access your account, we ask that you take a moment to reflect on your gaming habits and ensure they remain healthy and controlled.

Recognising Problem Gambling

We want to help you identify early warning signs of problem gambling. If you recognise any of the following patterns in your behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use our self-help tools or seek professional support:

Spending more time or money on gambling than you can afford
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
Chasing losses in an attempt to win back money
Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities due to gambling
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend gambling
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or other emotional difficulties
Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to

If any of the above applies to you, please know that you are not alone and that help is available. At Merlin, we provide direct access to resources and tools to support your wellbeing.

Responsible Gaming Tools We Provide

We offer a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming features to help you manage your activity on our platform. You can access these tools at any time by visiting your account settings after using the Merlin Casino login, or by contacting our support team directly.

Deposit Limits

We allow you to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period before the change is applied, while decreasing a limit takes effect straight away.

Session Time Limits

You can set a maximum session duration so that you are automatically reminded or logged out after a defined period. We recommend using session limits to maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities.

Loss Limits

Our platform allows you to define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a given period. Once this limit is reached, you will be unable to continue playing until the period resets, helping you avoid impulsive decisions during a losing streak.

Reality Checks

We provide in-session notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These periodic prompts help you stay aware of your activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gambling, we offer both temporary cooling-off periods and longer-term self-exclusion options. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to access your account or receive any promotional communications from us. To request self-exclusion, please contact our support team via live chat (available 24/7) or by emailing us at support@MerlinCasino.com.

Account Closure

If you wish to permanently close your Merlin account for responsible gaming reasons, we will process your request promptly. Any remaining balance will be returned to you in accordance with our withdrawal policy.

Protecting Minors

Our Merlin Casino services are strictly intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not permit minors to register, use the Merlin app, or gamble on our platform under any circumstances. We carry out age verification checks as part of our KYC (Know Your Customer) process, and accounts that cannot be verified will be restricted or closed.

We strongly encourage parents and guardians to make use of parental control software to prevent underage individuals from accessing gambling websites. We recommend the following tools:

GamBan – blocks access to all licensed gambling sites
Net Nanny – parental control and content filtering software
Cybersitter – web filtering and monitoring for families
K9 Web Protection – free browser-level content control

If you suspect that a minor has gained access to our platform, please contact us immediately at support@MerlinCasino.com so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

We encourage responsible engagement with our promotions.
