What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gaming means approaching gambling — whether it's slots, live casino, poker, baccarat, EPL or Malaysia Super League Sports Betting, lottery, or Virtual Sports — with a clear mind and firm boundaries. It's not about stopping you from having fun; it's about making sure you stay in control at all times.

At Poker Games, we believe every Malaysian player deserves a safe and enjoyable gaming experience. That's why we don't just offer fair games — we also provide the tools, information, and support you need to play responsibly.

Healthy gambling means playing with money you can afford to lose, never borrowing to gamble, not neglecting family or work responsibilities, and stopping when you feel ready — not when your money runs out.

Respect your play time limits
Don't chase your losses
The Core Principles of Responsible Gaming
1
Set Your Budget Before You Play

Decide how much MYR you are comfortable spending on entertainment — just as you would budget for a movie or dinner out — before opening the Poker Games platform.

2
Set a Time Limit

Decide how long you want to play and stick to it. Use a clock or phone reminder to alert you when it's time to stop.

3
Don't Chase Your Losses

Once you've reached your loss limit, stop. Chasing losses by betting bigger is a dangerous habit that can lead to serious financial problems.

4
Don't Play When You're Stressed

Avoid playing when you are in an unstable emotional state — feeling sad, angry, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol. Decisions made in such states are rarely good ones.

5
Seek Help Without Shame

If you feel that gambling is starting to control your life rather than the other way around, seek help immediately. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Poker Games Self-Control Tools

Five free tools we provide to help you stay fully in control

1
Had Deposit

Set a cap on how much you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, poker games will automatically block any additional deposits until the next period begins. You can lower your limit immediately, but raising it requires a 7-day consideration period to ensure the decision is made with care.

2
Loss Limit

Set the maximum net loss you are willing to absorb in a single day, week, or month. Once your net loss reaches the limit you have set, no further bets can be placed for the remainder of that period. This is the most effective way to ensure you never lose more than you can afford in MYR.

3
Play Time Limit

Set a daily limit on how many hours you can spend on the poker games platform. As your time limit approaches, the system will send you a reminder. Once the limit is reached, your session will end automatically. This feature is especially useful for keeping track of time while enjoying your favourite slots or live casino games.

4
Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate the cooling-off feature to temporarily suspend your account — options available from 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, up to 6 weeks. During the cooling-off period, you will not be able to log in or play on the poker games platform. This gives you the space to step back without any long-term commitment.

5
Self-Exclusion

The strongest option for those who feel gambling has become a serious problem. Self-exclusion can be activated for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During this period, your account will be fully closed, all marketing communications will cease, and you will not be able to register a new account at poker games.

24/7 Immediate Support

Our Malay-speaking Poker Games support team is ready to help you activate any of the above control tools, answer questions about responsible gaming, or simply listen to your concerns. Reach us via 24/7 live chat or email — we're here for you, not just for the sale.

Limits You Can Set

Limit Type Daily Period Weekly Period Monthly Period
Had Deposit RM 50 – RM 5,000 RM 100 – RM 15,000 RM 200 – RM 50,000

Cooling-Off 24 hours / 48 hours / 1 week / 2 weeks / 6 weeks

All limits can be decreased immediately. Increasing a limit is subject to a 7-day consideration period.

Poker Games' Commitment to Responsible Gaming

These aren't just words — they're the concrete actions we take every single day

Strict Age Verification

Poker Games uses a multi-layered age verification system. All new members are required to verify their age upon registration, and identity documents are requested before the first withdrawal. We take seriously our responsibility to keep our platform free from users under the age of 18.

Active Behaviour Monitoring

Our system actively monitors gameplay patterns that may indicate signs of problem gambling — such as sudden spikes in deposit amounts, excessively long play sessions, or repeated attempts to chase losses. When detected, our team will proactively reach out to offer support.

Responsible Marketing

All poker games marketing materials never target vulnerable groups, including minors, individuals who have registered for self-exclusion, or those showing signs of problem gambling. Our promotions always carry a clear responsible gambling message.

Dedicated Staff Training

All poker games staff, especially the customer support team, receive dedicated training on identifying problem gambling and providing assistance with genuine empathy. We know how to have these sensitive conversations in a way that respects your dignity.

No Pressure to Play

Poker Games does not use aggressive marketing tactics that pressure you into continuing to play or depositing more money. No sales calls, no unsolicited push messages, and no rewards designed to encourage you to play beyond your budget.

Ongoing Post-Assistance Support

When a member seeks help through our self-exclusion program, we don't simply close their account and move on. We provide information on professional support resources and ensure the recovery process runs smoothly in line with what the member needs.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling problems rarely appear overnight. They tend to develop gradually, and many people don't realise they're in trouble until things become serious. By recognising the early warning signs, you can take action right away before the situation gets worse.

These signs can affect anyone — regardless of gender, age, or background. If you recognise yourself in any of the situations below, it may be time to speak with someone or use the self-control tools provided by Poker Games.

Remember: Recognising the problem is the single most important first step. Every poker games player who reaches out for help will receive full support, free from any judgement.

You frequently borrow money — from family, friends, or personal loans — to gamble or to settle gambling debts. You use money set aside for essentials such as rent, utility bills, or food to gamble. You hide spending records or bank statements from your partner or family members.

You often play longer or spend more than you planned. You have made several attempts to stop or cut back on gambling but failed. You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce your gambling. Gambling is constantly on your mind, even at work or with family.

Gambling has caused arguments with your partner, family members, or friends. You have neglected responsibilities at work or school because of gambling. You prefer gambling over spending time with the people you care about. Those close to you have expressed concern about your gambling habits.

You gamble to escape problems, stress, or discomfort. You feel guilty or regretful after gambling yet continue to do so. You experience sleep disturbances or anxiety related to gambling. You only feel "normal" or happy when you are gambling.

You repeatedly return to gambling to try to recover money you have lost. You increase your bet sizes over time to chase the same "thrill". You believe you are always on the verge of a big win and just need a little more money. You cannot accept losses as a normal part of the gaming experience.

Responsible Gambling Self-Assessment

Check all statements that have applied to you over the past 30 days. This is a personal self-assessment tool — there are no right or wrong answers.

A Guide for Family & Loved Ones

Are you worried about the gambling habits of someone you care about? Watching a family member or friend struggle with a gambling problem can be deeply distressing and frustrating. You are not alone, and there are things you can do to help.

First and foremost, remember that problem gambling is a health issue, not a moral failing. Those affected need support, not punishment or blame. An approach grounded in empathy and patience is far more effective than harsh confrontation.

What You Can Do:
  • Speak honestly and with compassion, not anger
  • Avoid paying off their gambling debts — this may make the situation worse
  • Encourage them to seek professional help
  • Take care of your own mental health while supporting others
  • Contact the poker games team to request guidance on how to restrict access

Everyday Safe Play Tips

Play for an Hour, Rest for an Hour
Avoid playing for more than one hour at a stretch. Get up, stretch, and drink some water.

Entertainment Budget, Not an Investment
Think of your poker games deposit the same way you'd think of a movie ticket — RM spent for the enjoyment.

Don't Play Late at Night
Decisions made when drowsy or exhausted are rarely wise. Get some sleep first.

Celebrate Wins, Accept Losses
Winnings are a bonus. Losses within your budget are the cost of entertainment — not a disaster.

Have an Open Conversation
Talking about your gambling with someone you trust helps you maintain a healthy perspective.

Diversify Your Hobbies
Make sure gambling is not your only form of entertainment. Badminton, football, or other activities bring balance to your life.
