Responsible Gaming
Together Online88

Online88 believes that the best entertainment is entertainment enjoyed responsibly. This page brings together all the tools, guides, and resources you need to ensure your gaming experience stays enjoyable — never overwhelming.

Our Core Principles

  • Gaming is entertainment, not a source of income
  • Set a budget before you start playing
  • Never chase losses with bigger bets
  • Take regular, planned breaks
  • Seek early help if you feel overwhelmed

Six Responsible Gaming Tools

All these tools are available directly within your Online88 your account — designed to keep you in control at all times.

Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Once a limit is in place, the system automatically blocks any deposit that exceeds your chosen amount — giving you full control.

Session Time Limit

Manage your gaming sessions with configurable time limits. The platform will send alerts when you are approaching your set limit and will automatically end the session once the limit is reached.

Temporary Break

Need a short break? Use the temporary break feature to suspend your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers.

Self-Exclusion

For long-term protection, apply for self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This option is suitable for anyone who feels that gaming is starting to affect their daily life.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with over a given period. The system will automatically pause your gaming activity once that loss limit is reached, protecting your account balance.

Activity Report

Review your gaming activity summary, deposit and withdrawal history, and playing patterns on a regular basis. This information helps you make a more accurate assessment of your own gaming habits.

Healthy Entertainment Starts with Awareness

At Online88, we don't just provide a fun gaming platform — we also care deeply about the well-being of every player who uses our services. Online gaming should be an enjoyable entertainment activity, not a burden that affects your finances, relationships, or mental health.

Many players in Malaysia enjoy a wide variety of games at Online88 — from Slots and Live Casino to Fish Shooting and Sports Betting — in a healthy and controlled way. They set budgets, play within comfortable limits, and enjoy their wins without letting losses affect their emotions excessively.

However, we understand that some players may face challenges in controlling their gaming habits. For these individuals, Online88 provides a full suite of protection tools and support resources accessible at any time through your account.

Remember: Wins in games are based on luck and certified RNG (Random Number Generator). No strategy or system can consistently guarantee wins. Play for enjoyment, not for guaranteed profit.

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often hard to recognise in its early stages. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

  • Thinking about gaming constantly — being unable to stop thinking about the next gaming session or how to get money to play again.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play with larger wagers in an attempt to recover lost money, even when you know it is not a wise decision.
  • Hiding gaming activity — being dishonest with family or friends about how much time or money has been spent on gaming.
  • Borrowing money to play — using borrowed money, family savings, or funds set aside for basic necessities for gaming purposes.
  • Emotionally affected — feeling anxious, irritable, or distressed when you cannot play, or when attempts to stop have not been successful.
  • Neglecting responsibilities — work, studies, or personal relationships start to suffer as a result of too much time and energy spent on gaming.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, it is time to use the protective tools provided Online88 or seek professional help.

Click the profile icon at the top right corner and select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.

3

4
Confirm and Activate

Enter your desired limit value and confirm your selection. The tool will be activated immediately and a confirmation email will be sent to your registered address.

Deposit limits and session time limits can be reduced immediately. However, increasing limits is subject to a 48-hour waiting period to ensure decisions are made calmly and not impulsively.

10 Responsible Gaming Tips

01Set a budget before playing

Decide on the maximum amount you are comfortable spending before opening any game. Think of it as an entertainment cost — just like a movie ticket or a dinner out.

02Never play with borrowed money

Only use disposable funds you can genuinely afford to spend on entertainment. Never borrow money or use funds needed for essential expenses.

03Accept losses as part of the game

Losses are a normal part of gaming. Never try to chase your losses — this is one of the most dangerous habits in problem gambling.

04Take regular breaks

Pause every 30–60 minutes. Get up, stretch, and honestly assess whether you are still playing for fun or out of stress.

05Never play when stressed or feeling down

Gaming is not an escape from problems. When emotions are unstable, financial decisions made during a playing session tend to be less rational.

06Maintain balance in life

Make sure other areas of your life — work, family, hobbies, and social activities — are not disrupted by the time you spend playing.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Yes, you can adjust your deposit limit at any time. However, a decrease takes effect immediately while an increase is subject to a 48-hour waiting period. This is a safeguard we put in place to ensure you make considered decisions.

Once self-exclusion is activated, your account will be suspended for the period you selected. You will not receive any marketing communications from us during this time. Valid account balances can be withdrawn once the KYC process is verified. Permanent self-exclusion requires a specific request to our support team.

Not at all. The Online88 is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and above. We carry out age verification during registration and apply a strict KYC process. If you share a device with children, please make sure you log out after every session and do not save your password on any device accessible to children.

Customer support team Online88 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via in-platform live chat. For responsible gaming matters, you can also reach us by email at [email protected]. We are committed to handling responsible gaming requests with the highest priority.

A temporary break is a short-term account suspension — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — suited for players who want a brief pause. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion is a longer-term option lasting 6 months, 1 year, or permanently — designed for players who need a more serious separation from gaming activity.
