What this means for players
Same owner often means the same terms, the same support team and the same payout rules. A self-exclusion at one brand may not cover its sister sites. Check each brand’s terms before you rely on a self-exclusion; a national scheme (such as GamStop in the UK or Spelpaus in Sweden) covers every licensed site in that country.
Does a self-exclusion at FDJ cover Maria Casino?
Not through a national scheme: neither site holds a licence that a national self-exclusion scheme in our data covers. An exclusion set only in your FDJ account may not cover Maria Casino.
