Responsible gaming is more than a slogan at my88 – it is a core value built into every corner of the platform. We prioritise member wellbeing over short-term profit.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means engaging in gambling or wagering activities consciously, in a controlled manner, and within your financial and emotional means. It involves understanding that gambling is entertainment – not a way to generate steady income or solve financial problems.

At my88, we understand that a small number of players may face challenges with their playing habits. That's why we go beyond mere compliance – we actively provide tools and resources to help every member play responsibly.

Core Principles of Healthy Gambling

There are a few simple principles that can help you enjoy your gaming experience at my88 without the risk of problems:

  • Set a playing budget before starting a session and stick to it without exception.
  • Treat money spent on gambling as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
  • Only play when you feel calm and positive – don't gamble to escape from problems.
  • Take regular breaks and don't let your playing sessions run on for too long.
  • Balance gambling with other hobbies and social activities that do not involve wagering.
  • Don't try to "chase" money you've lost by betting more.
  • Use the self-control tools provided by my88 to proactively manage your limits.

Recognize the Warning Signs

It's important to recognise when gambling habits start to negatively impact your life. Here are some signs that need immediate attention:

  • Feeling compelled to gamble with more money to get the same level of excitement.
  • Spending more time gambling than originally planned.
  • Attempting to gamble in secret or hiding betting activity from family.
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gambling activities.
  • Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to gambling.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to gamble.
  • Continuing to bet despite suffering repeated losses.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use the self-control tools available at my88 or reach out to a professional support organization.

Six Self-Control Tools We Offer

All these tools are available directly in your my88 account – free, easily accessible, and effective immediately.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. This limit takes effect immediately and can be reduced at any time, but requires a 48-hour waiting period to be increased.

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session. Once the time limit is reached, the my88 system will send an alert and automatically end your session to prevent excessive play.

Self-Break (Cool-Off)

Choose to take a short break from the platform for 24 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days. During the break period, your account will be temporarily deactivated and you will not receive any marketing communications.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, the self-exclusion option lets you block access to your my88 account for 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This is the strongest measure we offer for those who are serious about stopping.

Activity History Review

View detailed reports on your gaming history, deposits, and withdrawals. Understanding your own spending patterns is the first step to maintaining good control over your playing habits.

Marketing Communications Control

You can choose to stop receiving all promotional and marketing communications from my88 at any time. This helps reduce the temptation that may arise from frequent offers and promotions.

Enter your desired amount and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately and can be reduced at any time, but requires a 48-hour waiting period to increase.

For short-term self-exclusion (24 hours to 7 days), no early cancellation is allowed – this is to protect you. For long-term self-exclusion (1 month or more), a review process will be carried out by our team before any cancellation is considered, with a minimum waiting period of 7 days. Permanent self-exclusion can only be requested for cancellation after 5 years.

A self-break (cool-off) is a short pause of 24 hours to 7 days – ideal for players who need a brief rest.
