At bonus88, responsible gaming is more than a corporate obligation — it is a core value we stand by. Entertainment should be enjoyable, not burdensome. Learn about our self-control tools, warning signs, and how we support you in playing smart.
Online gaming is a legitimate and enjoyable form of entertainment for many Malaysians. Like going to the cinema or dining out — it is a way to unwind and enjoy your leisure time. However, like all forms of entertainment, it should be approached wisely and within comfortable limits.
At bonus88, we believe that players who play responsibly are the ones who enjoy it most. When you are not weighed down by excessive losses, not compelled to keep playing, and not spending money you cannot afford — that is when gaming truly becomes entertainment.
Responsible gaming means you are always in control — not the platform. You know your limits, you play within your means, and you can stop at any time without feeling compelled to continue. This is the experience we want every bonus88 user to have.
We also recognise that the line between entertainment and dependency can sometimes blur, especially when life pressures mount. That is why we provide a range of tools and resources to help you stay in control — and if you ever feel you need it, our support is available without any judgement.
Remember: wins are not guaranteed in any game of chance. Every ringgit you spend on gaming should be treated as an entertainment cost — not an investment or a way to generate income.
Decide how much you are willing to spend before a session begins — and stick to that limit even when you feel like "luck is on your side".
One of the most common traps — when losing, many continue playing hoping to recover their losses. This rarely works and often makes things worse.
Only use money set aside as entertainment spending — not money for rent, bills, food, or other essentials.
Take a break every 60–90 minutes to avoid decision fatigue that can impair your judgement while playing.
Win or lose — once the limit you have set is reached, stop. This discipline is the key to responsible gaming.
All these tools are accessible directly through your account settings in the bonus88 app or via our customer support — no questions asked, no judgment.
Set a maximum limit on the total amount you can deposit in a day or a week. Once the limit is reached, the system will block additional deposits until the period resets.
Set a limit on how many hours you can play per day. When the time is up, your session will be automatically ended and you will not be able to log in again until the next day.
Need a short break? Activate a 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day cooling-off period. During this time, your account remains fully functional except for the ability to start a new game session.
The most decisive option — completely block access to your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This request takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the active period.
Set a maximum limit on how much you can lose in a day or a week. Once the limit is reached, you will not be able to place new wagers until the period resets.
Review a summary of your gaming activity — including total time played, deposits, withdrawals, and net results — in the weekly or monthly reports available in your account.
To activate any of the self-control tools above, log in to your account and go to Settings > Responsible Gaming in the bonus88 app. You can also reach our customer support via live chat for immediate assistance.
Gaming dependency develops gradually — and many people do not realise it until it has already affected their daily lives. Recognise these signs early.
You set spending and time limits before playing and always stick to them.
You can stop playing at any time without feeling restless, guilty, or overwhelmed.
Your work, family, finances, and health are not negatively impacted by your gaming activity.
You play for fun, not relying on wins to solve financial problems.
You keep playing in hopes of recovering lost money, even as losses grow.
You hide your gaming activity or losses from family or friends.
You use money meant for rent, bills, or daily essentials for gaming.
You have repeatedly tried to cut back or stop playing but have been unable to do so.
If you recognise yourself in the signs on the right, this is not a weakness — it is a sign of courage to acknowledge that you need support. Contact our support via live chat in the bonus88 app to help you activate self-exclusion or find the right assistance.
The questions below are a self-assessment guide to help you evaluate your gaming habits honestly. This is not a diagnosis — it is simply a mirror for personal reflection.
Have you ever felt anxious or on edge when you were unable to play for a period of time?
Does the money you spend on gaming affect your monthly financial planning?
Have you ever lied to anyone about how much time or money you have spent on gaming?
Do you play to relieve stress, depression, or problems in your life?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming?
If you answered "Yes" to two or more of the questions above, it is recommended that you speak to someone you trust or activate the self-control tools in your account.
If you are concerned about the gaming habits of someone you care about, here are some tips on how to approach the situation wisely and effectively:
Start the conversation with empathy. Avoid direct accusations — instead, ask openly about how they feel and what they are going through.
Do not lend money or take on their debts — this does not help and can worsen the situation in the long run.
Gently suggest seeking professional support. Offer to accompany them through the process as a form of encouragement.
Supporting someone struggling with a problem can be draining. Make sure you also take care of your own mental and emotional well-being.
