Responsible gambling tools help keep you in the action at a safe and enjoyable level.

Think of them as the safety features in your car, or as the coach on the sideline guiding you down the field. We highly encourage you to learn how these tools work and use them to enhance your gambling experience.

Timeout

If you need a longer break, consider taking a timeout.

Request a timeout from BetMGM for any duration from 72 hours to a full year. While on timeout, you will not be able to deposit or wager. You may still log in, withdraw funds, and view your play history.

Time Management

On a daily basis, you can set a specific amount of time you want to spend gambling.

Time is measured hourly from the moment you log in, to the moment you log out.

Deposit Limits

You may set a limit on the amount you can deposit on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.

Once you have hit this limit, you will need to wait until the time period expires before you can deposit additional funds.

Spending/Loss Limits

You may set a limit on the amount you can spend/lose on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Once you have hit this spending/loss limit, you will no longer be able to wager until the time period has expired.

Remember, spending/loss limits only apply to the funds you deposit. These limits do not include the money you win (house money). Please plan accordingly.

Responsible gambling limits can be decreased at any time. You will receive a text notification once a limit has been decreased. Any increase to these limits will become effective only after the time period of the previous limit has expired.
