Six Core Principles Responsible Gaming

The core values that shape my888's commitment to protecting the wellbeing of every player on our platform

Player Safety First

My888 places player well-being as the absolute priority in every business decision we make. We designed this platform to be enjoyable, not to cause addiction or stress.

Simple Self-Control Tools

All self-control tools are accessible directly from your account settings — deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and cooling-off breaks. No need to contact support; everything can be managed on your own in under two minutes.

Strict Age Verification

The my888 registration process requires full identity verification in accordance with KYC procedures. We use document verification technology to ensure no individual under 18 can access our platform.

Education and Awareness

We provide ongoing educational content about gambling risks, how to identify unhealthy gaming habits, and support resources accessible to players and their families in Malaysia.

Immediate Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop completely, my888's self-exclusion program can be activated immediately and takes effect within one hour. No waiting period, no questions challenging your decision.

Confidential Support 24/7

Our dedicated responsible gaming support team is available around the clock for confidential chats. You can discuss concerns about your gaming habits without shame or worry about the privacy of your conversation.

Tools Self-Control We Provide

Five practical tools you can use anytime to manage your gaming experience with greater control

1
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits

Set the maximum deposit amount you can make per day, week, or month. This limit takes effect immediately once set and can only be reduced instantly — increasing the limit requires a 48-hour waiting period as an additional protective measure.

2
Maximum Loss Limit

Set a maximum amount of losses you are willing to absorb within a given period. Once this limit is reached, your account will automatically be prevented from placing new bets until the limit period resets. This ensures you don't continue playing under emotional stress.

3
Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each of your gaming sessions. my888 will send you an alert when you are close to reaching your time limit, and the session will be ended automatically once the limit is reached. This feature is especially useful for making sure you don't lose track of time while playing.

4
Temporary Break (Cooling-Off)

Need time to think? Activate a temporary break for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this period, your account remains active for balance withdrawal purposes, but all wagering and deposit activity will be fully blocked.

5
Long-Term Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, the my888 self-exclusion program lets you block access completely for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During this period, you will not receive any marketing communications from us, and the account cannot be reopened before the period ends. This is our serious commitment to your recovery.

How to Access Self-Control Tools: Log in to your my888 account → Click the profile icon → Select "Account Settings" → Go to the "Responsible Gaming" section. All tools can be activated in under two minutes with no need to contact anyone.

1 my888 Responsible Gaming Philosophy

At my888, online betting is a form of entertainment — just like watching a movie or dining out. It should be something you do for fun, not out of desperation or obligation. This is the foundation of our entire responsible gaming approach.

We recognise that a small number of players may struggle to control their gaming habits. This is not a personal weakness — it is a real health issue that can be addressed with the right support. my888 is committed to being part of the solution, not the problem.

Every feature we build, every policy we set, and every training we give our team is guided by one question: does this benefit the player in the long run? If the answer is no, we won't do it.

2 Vulnerable Group Protection

My888 takes proactive measures to protect groups of individuals who are more vulnerable to the risks of problem gambling, including:

  • Individuals under 18 years of age – fully blocked through strict KYC verification during registration
  • Individuals in addiction recovery – can receive a permanent self-exclusion that cannot be reversed
  • Individuals with serious financial difficulties – can receive very strict deposit limits or a temporary account suspension
  • Players showing high-risk gaming patterns – our system automatically identifies these patterns and notifies our support team

If you know someone who needs help, you can contact us on their behalf and we will take appropriate action in accordance with our protection procedures.

3 Shared Responsibility

Responsible gaming is a shared effort between the platform and the player. my888 provides all the tools and support needed, but their effectiveness depends on each player's own awareness and honesty. Here are the basic guidelines we recommend to all players:

  • Set a dedicated budget for entertainment before starting a gaming session
  • Treat money wagered as an entertainment cost, not an investment
  • Never play with money needed for essentials such as rent, bills, or food
  • Take regular breaks and avoid playing for too long in a single continuous session
  • Avoid alcohol or substances that may impair your judgment while playing
  • Remember that wins are a bonus, not a guarantee — the odds always favour the house in the long run

Remember: No system, strategy, or "secret technique" can guarantee wins in chance-based games. Anyone who claims otherwise is being dishonest. Only bet with surplus money you can afford to lose.

4 Early Detection and Intervention

My888 uses a smart monitoring system that continuously analyzes gameplay patterns to identify early signs of problem gambling. When our system detects concerning patterns — such as a sudden increase in deposit amounts, excessively long playing sessions, or repeated attempts to override self-imposed limits — our team will proactively reach out to the player.

This approach is not about restricting your freedom to play — it's about making sure you always stay in a good place. We prefer to step in early rather than having to support players in crisis.

5 Child Protection Policy

My888 takes child protection very seriously. All accounts require age verification through official documents during the KYC process. We also encourage parents and guardians to take additional steps:

  • Use parental control software to block access to online gambling sites on family devices
  • Do not save login details or payment information on devices shared with children
  • Have open conversations with your children about the risks of online gambling
  • Report to us immediately if you suspect your account has been accessed by a child

Question Common Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by my888 players on responsible gaming

Log in to your my888 account, click the profile icon in the top-right corner, select "Account Settings", then navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately once set. If you wish to reduce a limit, the change applies instantly. However, increasing a limit requires a 48-hour waiting period as a protective measure.

A cooling-off period is a short break of 24 hours to one month, during which only your gaming activity and deposits are paused for a set time. Your account remains active and you can make withdrawals. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a long-term commitment of 6 months to permanent — your account is fully blocked, including for withdrawals, until your balance is transferred upon request. Self-exclusion cannot be cancelled before the set period ends.

No. One of the most important features of my888's self-exclusion is that it cannot be cancelled before the set period ends. This is a deliberate decision made in your best interest — when someone chooses to self-exclude, we want to ensure that commitment is fully respected. Once the period ends, you will need to actively contact our team to reactivate your account, with an additional seven-day reflection period.

Yes, completely. Any conversation related to responsible gaming is confidential and will not be shared with any third party without your consent. Our team is trained to listen without judgment and help you find the best solution for your situation. You are free to talk openly without any concern about your privacy or the impact on your account.

Your account balance is safe and remains yours. During the self-exclusion period, you may contact our support team to request a withdrawal to your registered bank account or digital wallet. Withdrawals will be processed following standard procedures within 1–3 business days. Your funds will not be seized or forfeited under any circumstances.

Our automated monitoring system analyses various patterns such as sudden spikes in deposit amount or frequency, very long gaming sessions without breaks, betting patterns indicating attempts to chase losses, and repeated attempts to exceed self-imposed limits. When these patterns are detected, our responsible gaming team will reach out to the player personally via email or live chat to offer support and information about available self-control tools.
