96bets believes that gambling should be a source of entertainment — never a source of harm. This page outlines our commitment to responsible gaming, the tools available to help you stay in control, and the support resources we recommend for any player who feels they may need assistance.
This platform is strictly for players aged 21 and above. No exceptions.
Online gaming at 96bets — whether you are playing baccarat on a live dealer table, spinning slots, or betting on an EPL match — is designed to be entertaining. The thrill of a well-timed bet or a winning hand is a genuine part of the experience, and we want every player to enjoy it. But we also recognise that for some people, gambling can stop being fun and start causing real harm.
Responsible gambling is not a footnote at 96bets — it is built into the architecture of our platform. Every registered player has immediate access to a full suite of self-management tools including daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits; session time reminders; cooling-off periods; and permanent self-exclusion. These tools are available at no cost, with no waiting periods, and with no questions asked.
We train our 24/7 live support team to recognise signs of distress and to handle sensitive responsible gambling conversations with care. If a player asks us to help them stop, we will. If a player tells us they are struggling, we take that seriously and act immediately.
This page is here to help you understand when gambling might be becoming a problem, what tools are available on 96bets to help you manage your play, and where to turn if you or someone you care about needs professional support — including Malaysian helplines and internationally recognised organisations.
Remember: Gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. The house edge means the platform earns over time by design. Play for enjoyment using money you can genuinely afford to spend — and treat any winnings as a welcome bonus, not an expectation.
Problem gambling develops gradually. Recognising the warning signs early — in yourself or someone you care about — makes a real difference. Here are some patterns to watch for.
Continuing to gamble specifically to recover money that has already been lost — increasing bet sizes to "win it back" — is one of the clearest early indicators of a gambling problem.
Consistently spending more time gambling than intended, or finding it difficult to stop a session even when you planned to — especially during late-night sessions that affect sleep and daily obligations.
Concealing gambling activity from family members or close friends, lying about the amount of time or money spent, or feeling the need to keep your betting private is a warning sign worth reflecting on.
Using money set aside for rent, groceries, utilities, or other essential expenses to fund gambling — or borrowing money specifically to gamble — indicates that gambling is no longer recreational.
Turning to gambling to manage anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions — rather than for entertainment — is a pattern that can escalate quickly and is worth addressing early.
When gambling begins to interfere with work obligations, family time, social relationships, or physical health — missing Liga Super Malaysia gatherings with friends, skipping work — it has moved beyond entertainment.
If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself or someone close to you, we strongly encourage you to use the responsible gambling tools available on your 96bets Account or to reach out to the support organisations listed further down this page. Acting early makes recovery significantly easier.
Honest self-reflection is a powerful first step. Read through these questions and consider your answers carefully. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we recommend speaking with a support professional.
These questions are for personal reflection only. They do not constitute a clinical assessment. If you are concerned about your gambling, please contact one of the support organisations listed on this page or reach out to our support team directly.
Have you ever gambled more money than you originally intended to in a single session?
Have you ever borrowed money — from family, friends, or financial services — to fund gambling?
Have you felt irritable, anxious, or restless when you tried to stop or reduce your gambling?
Have you hidden the amount of time or money you spend gambling from people close to you?
Do you find yourself returning to gamble the day after a loss to try to recover what you lost?
Has gambling affected your performance at work, your studies, or your daily responsibilities?
Have you ever used money intended for rent, food, or other household expenses to gamble?
Have you ever felt that you need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts to feel the same excitement?
Has gambling caused conflict, worry, or concern for any member of your family?
Have you ever considered or attempted to self-exclude from gambling but found it difficult to follow through?
Every tool listed below is available to all registered players at no cost, accessible through your Account settings or by contacting our support team at any time — day or night.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling period before taking effect — decreases are immediate. You can set limits in MYR to match your personal budget.
Set a session duration reminder that notifies you when you have been playing for a specified period. Reminders can be set in 30-minute increments. When the time is reached, you will receive a clear on-screen notification and the option to end your session or continue with awareness.
Take a scheduled break from the Platform for a defined period — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your Account remains registered but you cannot deposit or place wagers. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
If you feel you need a longer break or want to stop gambling entirely, you can self-exclude your Account for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed immediately upon request. During the exclusion period, 96bets will not send you any promotional communications.
Request a full statement of your gambling activity — deposits, withdrawals, game sessions, win/loss summary — for any period up to 12 months. Reviewing your actual activity against what you perceived is a powerful reality check that we encourage all players to use regularly.
Our live support team is trained to handle responsible gambling conversations with sensitivity and without judgment. If you want to activate any tool, discuss a concern, or simply talk to someone, our team is available around the clock via live chat on the Platform.
Self-exclusion is irreversible for its minimum period. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be shortened or reversed during the chosen exclusion window — regardless of the reason given. This is intentional: it provides the firm boundary that meaningful self-exclusion requires. If you are in crisis, please use permanent exclusion and reach out to a support organisation immediately.
Responsible gambling is not about gambling less — it is about gambling smarter. These habits, built into your routine from the start, help keep gaming enjoyable for the long term.
Decide in advance the maximum amount of MYR you are comfortable spending — and treat that as entertainment spending, not an investment. Once the budget is spent, the session ends. Using deposit limits on 96bets to automate this takes the decision out of the moment.
Long uninterrupted sessions make it harder to maintain perspective on how much time and money you have spent. Use the session reminder tool to set a maximum playtime, and take genuine breaks — step away from the screen, have a meal, or catch up with friends in KL or elsewhere.
If you win, consider withdrawing your winnings rather than reinvesting them immediately. The urge to "press your luck" after a win is one of the strongest psychological traps in gambling. Treat a win as the enjoyable bonus it is, not proof of a strategy.
Gambling while stressed, angry, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol significantly impairs judgment and leads to decisions you would not otherwise make. Log out, take a break, and return when you are in a clear-headed state — or not at all.
Every game on 96bets has a built-in house edge. Slot RTP values, baccarat odds, and sports betting margins are all designed so the platform earns over time. There is no "system" that beats this over the long run. Understanding this helps you enjoy the entertainment without unrealistic expectations.
Shame and secrecy make problem gambling worse. If gambling has stopped being fun or is causing you stress, speak to someone you trust — a family member, a close friend, or one of the professional support services listed on this page. You do not have to figure this out alone.
