What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means you play for entertainment — not to escape your problems, not as a primary source of income, and most importantly, you always maintain full control over the time and money you invest in gaming.

At mq88, we understand that online betting and casino games are a legitimate form of entertainment. Like any other form of entertainment — films, concerts or sports — it should be enjoyed within reasonable limits. Only when those limits are crossed does gaming become an issue that needs to be addressed promptly.

As a responsible platform, mq88 does not just provide high-quality games — we also ensure that every Malaysian player who joins our platform has access to the information, control tools, and assistance needed to maintain a healthy and enjoyable gaming experience at all times.

The core principles of responsible gaming that we practise at mq88 cover three key elements: Awareness — understanding the risks of gaming and how they can affect your life; Controls — using the available tools to manage your gaming activity; and Support — seeking help when you or someone you care about needs it.

Remember: Gambling is a form of entertainment. Never bet with money you cannot afford to lose. Every win and loss is part of the game.

Healthy Play Principles
1

Set a budget before you play and stick to it without exception.

2

Limit your playing time — set a clock reminder or alarm.

3

Do not try to "chase" losses — this is one of the most serious warning signs.

4

Do not play when you are under emotional pressure, stress or grief.

5

Balance your gaming time with family, work, and other hobbies.

6

Treat losses as the cost of entertainment, not a debt that needs to be paid back.


Self-Control Tools MQ88

We offer a range of free control tools that you can use at any time directly from your account settings

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum deposit amount you can make on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. This limit takes effect immediately and can only be lowered, not raised without a 24-hour waiting period.

Session Time Limit

Set reminders or a maximum time limit for each gaming session. When the time limit is reached, the mq88 system will issue a warning and offer the option to log out automatically to prevent excessive play.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to accept within a given period. Once your losses reach the set limit, your account will be temporarily blocked from placing new bets for that period.

Temporary Self-Exclusion

Choose to take a break from playing for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During the break period, you will not be able to login or place any bets, giving you time to rest and reassess.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming has become a serious problem, you may apply for permanent self-exclusion from the mq88 platform. Your account will be permanently closed and you will not be able to re-register using the same information.

Activity History Review

Access a full report of all your betting activity, deposits and withdrawals over a selected time period. Regularly reviewing your own play patterns is the best way to stay aware and responsible.


Warning Signs Problem Gambling

Recognise the early warning signs before they become a crisis. If you or a loved one shows the following signs, it is time to seek help.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play after losing in the hope of "winning back" lost money. This is one of the clearest signs of a serious gambling problem.

Borrowing Money to Gamble

Borrowing from family, friends or lenders to fund betting activity is a warning sign that must not be ignored.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Neglecting work, family or study obligations due to spending too much time and money on gambling.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Lying to family or friends about how much time or money has been spent on gambling.

Unable to Stop Even When You Want To

Has tried repeatedly to cut down or stop gambling but has been unable to, even when aware of the negative impact.

Restless When Not Playing

Feeling anxious, irritable or stressed when unable to access games — this indicates psychological dependency.

Test Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to 3 or more questions, we encourage you to seek support.

1

Have you ever gambled more than you originally planned?

2

Have you ever lied to family or friends about your gambling activities?

3

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

4

Has gambling ever interfered with your relationships with family or your work performance?

5

Do you feel the need to increase your wager amount to get the same level of excitement?

6

Have you ever tried to stop gambling but failed to do so?

7

Do you use gambling as a way to escape problems or negative feelings?

If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more questions, please contact the mq88 support team or one of the help organisations listed below. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

FAQ — Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by mq88 players

Log in to your mq88 account, go to Account Settings and select the "Game Controls" or "Deposit Limits" section. You can set daily, weekly or monthly limits according to your means. Limits take effect immediately upon confirmation. To reduce a limit, the change applies instantly. To increase a limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies as a protective measure.

Temporary self-exclusion means you choose to stop playing for a set period — typically 24 hours to 6 months. Once that period ends, your account will be automatically reactivated. Permanent self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a final decision where your account is closed permanently and you cannot re-register using the same information. This is suitable for those facing serious gambling problems who require a permanent stop.

For temporary self-exclusion, you must wait until the set period expires before your account is reactivated — no shortcuts or early cancellations are permitted. For permanent self-exclusion, the decision is final and cannot be reversed. This is by design, to provide genuine protection for players who need a long-term break from gambling.

You can reach the mq88 support team via 24/7 live chat for immediate assistance and guidance on using self-control tools. In addition, problem gambling support organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia and Talian Kasih 15999 (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Malaysia) are available for free professional counselling and support.
