Responsible Gaming

Online gaming should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. It is for adults aged 18 and above only.

Simple rules

• Set a budget before you start and stop when it is used up.
• Set a time limit and take regular breaks.
• Never chase losses or borrow money to play.
• Do not play when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
• Keep gaming separate from money needed for bills, rent, food or family.

Warning signs

• Spending more time or money than you planned.
• Hiding your gaming from family or friends.
• Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing.
• Borrowing, selling belongings or missing payments because of gaming.

Getting help

If gaming is no longer fun, stop and talk to someone you trust. Support is available:

• Befrienders Kuala Lumpur – free, confidential emotional support (24 hours).
• Gamblers Anonymous – peer support groups and online meetings.

Many platforms also offer deposit limits or account self-exclusion through their customer support.
