Responsible Gaming
Mandalay Bay Casino and MGM Resorts are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all players. As part of our responsible gaming efforts, we want to ensure that you have the tools and information necessary to maintain healthy and balanced gambling habits.
Safe and Balanced Gaming Habits
We believe that gaming should be enjoyed as entertainment rather than a way to earn income. It's essential to set realistic expectations about your potential winnings and not rely on them as a source of financial stability.
- Set aside a dedicated budget for gaming, separate from your regular finances.
- Prioritize self-care, exercise regularly, and maintain healthy relationships with friends and family.
Budget and Bankroll Management
Effective bankroll management is crucial to maintaining balanced gaming habits. Make sure you understand the difference between:
- Deposit: The amount of money added to your account for gaming purposes.
- Loss limit: A maximum amount that can be lost within a specific period or game session.
- Wager limit: The minimum and maximum amounts allowed per bet or wager.
Deposit Limits
You can set deposit limits on our platform to help maintain control over your spending. Please note that these limits will only apply to the specific account you've set them for, and not across all accounts linked to a single device or profile.
Reality Checks and Time Reminders
Reality checks provide an overview of your gaming activity, including session time and bets placed. This feature can help you monitor and control your gaming behavior:
- Session reminders: Receive alerts when your gaming session reaches its predetermined limit.
- Time limits: Establish a maximum duration for each game or betting round.
Cooling-off Periods and Self-exclusion Tools
If you feel that you're developing unhealthy gambling habits, we offer the following tools to help you maintain control:
- Cooling-off period: Take a break from gaming for a set amount of time (24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days).
- Self-exclusion: Permanently ban yourself from our platform for a specified period.
Account Verification and Age Restrictions
We take account security seriously. To ensure your age verification is accurate:
- Provide government-issued ID to verify your identity.
- Be aware of the minimum age requirements set by local laws (18+ years in most jurisdictions).
Protection of Vulnerable Players
Mandalay Bay Casino recognizes that some players may be more vulnerable to problem gambling due to factors such as mental health conditions, addiction, or social pressures. If you believe yourself to be at risk or are experiencing difficulties related to your gaming habits:

Family/Device Protection Measures
Mandalay Bay Casino prioritizes responsible gaming across multiple accounts and connected devices. If you're concerned about potential issues related to family members or device usage:
- Use two-factor authentication for added security on your account.
- Establish strong parental controls over children's access to online gaming platforms.
