Our Commitment

Fun Gaming Starts with Responsibility

Online wagering can be an enjoyable form of entertainment when done the right way — with clear limits, a healthy mindset, and full awareness of the risks involved. At 1malaysia, we not only provide the best gaming platform, but also all the tools and information you need to stay in control.

Many people play for fun, to unwind after work, or simply to try their luck once in a while. That is entirely normal and acceptable. However, when gaming begins to affect personal finances, family relationships, or work productivity — that is the time to pause and reassess.

This page provides everything you need to know about how to play responsibly, the control tools we offer, and warning signs to watch out for. We care about your well-being — not just as a platform member, but as an individual.

Our Principles: Gaming should be a source of entertainment, not stress or financial hardship. If you feel gaming is beginning to have a negative impact, contact our support team right away — we are here to help, without judgment.
Responsible Gaming Principles
1
Play for Entertainment

Wagering is entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems.

2
Set Limits Before You Play

Decide how much money and time you can afford to spend before starting a gaming session.

3
Don't Chase Your Losses

When you lose, stop. Trying to recover lost money often leads to even greater losses.

4
Take a Regular Break

Take a break every few hours and make sure gambling does not interfere with your daily routine, work, or family.

5
Get Help When You Need It

There is no shame in seeking help. Our team and external resources are ready to assist you.

Six Tools to Help You Stay in Control

1malaysia provides a range of self-control tools that you can activate at any time through your account settings. All tools are free and take effect immediately.

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. These limits can be reduced at any time and take effect immediately.

Session Time Limit

Limit the duration of each gaming session. When the time limit is reached, the system will issue a warning and automatically end the session if you have selected that option.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb within a given period. Once the limit is reached, you will not be able to continue betting until the limit period resets.

Temporary Break

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom period of your choice. During the break period, your account will be blocked from all betting activity.

Self-Exclusion

Long-term self-exclusion options range from 6 months to 5 years. Your account will be fully closed and you will not receive any marketing communications from us.

Activity Review

Review your complete history of bets, deposits, and withdrawals at any time. Full transparency helps you better understand your gaming habits.

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not happen overnight. It usually develops gradually. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important first step toward getting help before things become more serious. Watch for the following signs in yourself or someone you care about:

Thinking about gambling almost constantly, planning the next session even while at work or with family.

Gradually increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement as before.

Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling without success — and feeling restless or irritable when unable to play.

Gambling to escape personal problems, work stress, grief, anxiety, or other negative feelings.

Lying to family members, friends, or employers about gambling habits or the amount of money spent.

Borrowing money, selling assets, or using family savings to continue gambling.

Neglecting work responsibilities, studies, or family relationships due to gambling.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to contact our support team or seek professional help immediately. It is never too early to reach out.

Test Your Gaming Habits

Answer the following brief questions honestly. This is not a medical test, but it can help you understand whether your gaming habits are within a safe zone.

1
Have you ever gambled with more money than you could afford to lose?
2
Do you need to gamble with more money to get the same level of excitement?
3
Have you ever returned to gambling the next day to try to recover money you had lost?
4
Have you ever hidden your gambling activities from people close to you?
5
Has gambling ever caused problems in your personal relationships or work performance?
6
Have you ever felt guilty or regretful after finishing a gambling session?
7
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gambling?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, we encourage you to use our self-control tools or contact our support team for a confidential discussion.
