Before playing
Set four limits
Money limit
Use only an entertainment budget you can lose without affecting rent, food, bills or savings.
Time limit
Set an end time and use an alarm that does not depend on the gaming app.
Emotional limit
Stop when angry, desperate, tired or trying to recover a loss.
Deposit limit
Do not increase a deposit because of a bonus or promotional pressure.
Warning signs
When entertainment is becoming a problem
- Borrowing or using money needed for daily expenses.
- Hiding the time spent or amount lost from people close to you.
- Chasing losses with a larger stake or another deposit.
- Disrupting sleep, work, relationships or other responsibilities.
- Feeling unable to stop even when you want to.
If you need to stop
Reduce access and ask for support
Log out, uninstall the app, turn off promotional notifications and use device or payment blocks when available. Tell someone you trust and seek professional help in Malaysia if gambling is affecting your life. Do not try to recover losses before stopping.
