Six principles behind responsible play at mysgame

These cards outline how mysgame approaches responsible gambling for every player on the platform, from first-time readers in Kuala Lumpur to experienced sports bettors in Penang.

Deposit Limits

Setting a realistic deposit limit in MYR before each session is one of the single most effective habits for sustainable gambling. mysgame provides daily, weekly and monthly deposit controls that take effect immediately and can only be increased after a cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Time moves quickly during a live football market or a high-volatility slot session. mysgame supports session-duration alerts so players can take regular breaks and stay aware of how long they have been active on the platform.

Loss and Bet Limits

In addition to deposit controls, mysgame supports loss limits and maximum bet thresholds. These tools help players maintain a planned budget across a Liga Super Malaysia match week or a series of live casino sessions without exceeding what they intended to spend.

Open Support

Speaking about gambling concerns is never something to be embarrassed about. mysgame support is available 24 hours a day via [email protected]. For wider personal or financial concerns, several external support organisations are referenced on this page.

Understanding Responsible Play

Gambling should be a choice, not a pressure

21+

mysgame gambling content is for adults aged 21 and above only. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you believe someone under 21 is accessing gambling services, contact mysgame support immediately. We take this responsibility seriously on every page of the platform.

When gambling stops being entertainment

Problem gambling develops gradually. It rarely begins with an obvious single event. Instead, the boundaries between affordable entertainment and financial harm blur slowly over weeks or months. mysgame wants players to be aware of this progression.

The shift often starts with chasing losses — placing a bigger bet to win back what was lost earlier. This behaviour tends to increase risk, deepen losses and create a cycle that becomes harder to break. Recognising the pattern early is the most effective way to interrupt it.

If gambling is causing stress, secrecy, borrowing or conflict with people you care about, it has moved beyond entertainment. The tools and support resources on this page are here for exactly that moment.

Know the Signs

Warning signs that gambling may be a problem

The following behaviours are commonly associated with problem gambling. None of them in isolation means there is definitely an issue, but a pattern of several signs is a clear signal to pause and seek support. Be honest with yourself.

Gambling with money needed for essential costs such as rent, groceries, school fees or medical expenses.

Borrowing money from family, friends or a loan provider specifically to fund gambling sessions.

Hiding gambling activity, amounts wagered or losses from a partner, family member or employer.

Chasing losses by placing larger bets immediately after a losing session with the intention of winning the money back.

Feeling irritable, anxious or restless when not gambling, or when trying to reduce gambling activity.

Missing work, study commitments or family obligations due to time spent gambling.

Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce, control or stop gambling despite wanting to do so.

Using gambling as the main way to deal with stress, low mood, loneliness or other emotional difficulties.

Quick Self-Check

Ask yourself these questions honestly

Answer each question with complete honesty. If you answer "yes" to three or more, consider speaking with mysgame support or contacting one of the external resources listed further down this page.

  1. Have you ever spent more on gambling than you originally planned in a single session?
  2. Have you placed a larger bet than usual to try to recover money lost in a previous session?
  3. Have you kept the amount you gamble secret from someone who would be concerned?
  4. Has gambling affected your sleep, work, studies or relationships in the past three months?
  5. Have you used money reserved for bills, groceries or other essentials to fund a gambling session?
  6. Do you feel a strong urge to gamble when you are bored, stressed, lonely or upset?
Player Protection Tools

Controls available to every mysgame player

These tools are available on request through mysgame support. They are provided as practical safeguards, not as last resorts. Using them proactively is a sign of good financial sense.

Cooling-Off Period

A cooling-off period temporarily restricts access to gambling services for a defined duration — typically 24 hours to 30 days. It gives players space and time to reconsider without permanently closing their account. Contact mysgame support to request one at any time.

Self-Exclusion

A self-exclusion is a formal request to block account access for a set period of at least six months or indefinitely. It is enforced strictly. If you wish to self-exclude, contact [email protected] immediately. Any attempt to re-register during the exclusion period will be blocked.

For Friends and Family

How to support someone with a gambling problem

Problem gambling affects more than the person placing bets. Partners, parents, siblings and close friends often notice the signs before the gambler does.

Listen without judgment

Confrontation and ultimatums can push someone deeper into denial. Instead, choose a calm moment, express concern using personal observations rather than accusations, and listen. The aim is to open a conversation, not end one. Many people only seek help after a trusted person in their life raised the subject gently.

Encourage professional support

Suggest contacting Talian Kasih 15999 or AKPK as a practical, non-stigmatising first step. Offer to help research options rather than demanding immediate action. Recovery is a process, and support from people who know the person often makes a genuine difference to whether help is sought and maintained.

Protect shared finances

If shared finances are at risk, consider practical steps such as separate accounts, joint oversight of major expenditures or setting up direct debits for essential household costs. This is not punitive — it is a way of protecting both parties while recovery progresses.

Look after yourself too

Supporting someone with a problem gambling habit is emotionally draining. It is important to look after your own mental and financial wellbeing throughout this process. Speaking with Talian Kasih 15999 or a personal counsellor can provide a confidential space to discuss the impact on you.
