Important Warning: Betting Carries Financial Risk

Betting is a form of entertainment, not a way to generate income. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose. If betting starts to affect your finances, personal relationships, or mental health, please seek help immediately. ml88 is always here to help you make responsible choices.

Self-Control Tools
Six Tools Control What We Offer

Ml88 equips every player with self-control tools that can be used at any time without needing to contact support first.

Daily Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. The limit takes effect immediately once you save the settings in your ml88 account.

Session Duration Limit

Limit how long you can spend in a single gaming session. Once the time limit is reached, the ML88 system will send a notification and automatically close the session to ensure you take a break.

Voluntary Break

Choose to take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or up to 90 days based on your needs. During the break period, your account remains secure and all balances are preserved.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that betting is getting out of control, you may apply for self-exclusion, either permanently or for an extended period. ML88 will handle such applications with seriousness and urgency.

Maximum Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you're willing to absorb within a given period. Once this limit is reached, the platform will automatically block wagering activity to protect you.

Personal Activity Report

View a detailed report of your gaming activity, including total deposits, losses, and time spent. This information helps you objectively assess your own gaming patterns.

1 ml88's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

For ML88, responsible gaming is not merely a slogan or a legal obligation — it is part of our platform's DNA. Since day one, we have built an ecosystem that places user well-being above all else, including short-term business profit.

We understand that online betting can be a genuinely enjoyable form of entertainment when approached responsibly. However, we also recognise that a small number of players may find it difficult to manage their betting habits. This is why ML88 continually invests in technology, policies, and human resources specifically designed to detect, prevent, and address issues related to excessive gambling.

The ml88 platform complies with international responsible gaming guidelines and works with local support organisations in Malaysia to ensure every user has access to the information and assistance they need. We never target advertising at individuals who have applied for self-exclusion or are showing signs of problem gambling.

ML88's four core pillars of commitment are: proactive prevention through easily accessible self-control tools, early detection through monitoring of unusual activity patterns, timely intervention through our trained support team, and ongoing recovery through referrals to professional specialists.

2 Recognise the Early Warning Signs

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight. It usually starts gradually and develops over time. Recognising the early warning signs is the single most important first step in managing the situation before it becomes serious.

Here are some signs to watch for in yourself or those around you:

Wagering money that should be used for basic necessities such as rent, food, or bills.
Continuing to play despite heavy losses in hopes of "getting even".
Lying to family members or friends about your betting activities and losses.
Borrowing money or selling valuables to fund betting.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to play.
Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to spending too much time gaming.
Have tried to stop or cut back on betting but were unable to do so.
If You Recognise These Signs
Don't wait until things get worse. Use ML88's self-control tools or contact our support team now. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
3 How to Use ML88's Self-Control Tools

Activating self-control tools on ml88 is straightforward and can be done directly from your account without any complicated process. Here are the steps:

1
Login to Your ml88 Account

Use your existing credentials to log in to the ML88 platform via the website or mobile app.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon at the top right of the screen, then select "Account Settings" or "Security & Controls".

3
Select "Responsible Gaming"

In this section, you will find all available self-control tools, including deposit limits, session time limits, voluntary breaks, and self-exclusion.

4
Set Limits According to Your Needs

Enter a limit value that feels right for you. Deposit limits can be set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Time limits can be configured in hourly units.

5
Confirm and Save Settings

Click "Save" to activate the limit. Some changes take effect immediately, while changes that loosen a limit may require a 24–72 hour waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Helpful Tips
Set your limits when you're calm and clear-headed — not while playing or after a loss. Decisions made under emotional stress are rarely sound.
4 Self-Assessment – How Much Control Do You Have?

Answer the following questions honestly to assess whether your betting habits are still under control. These questions are adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling assessment tools.

1
Have you ever wagered more money than you originally planned in a single gaming session?
2
Have you ever returned to play the next day to try to recover money you had lost?
3
Has betting ever caused you financial difficulties, or left you dependent on others for money?
4
Have you ever felt the need to hide or lie about your betting activities to family members or friends?
5
Have you ever felt uncomfortable, irritable, or unable to concentrate when you are unable to play?
6
Has betting ever negatively affected your personal relationships, work performance, or daily life?
Assessment Interpretation
If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, it is a signal that you may need to reconsider your betting patterns. Two or more "Yes" answers suggest you seek professional support. Contact the ml88 support team or the relevant organisations listed in Section 6.
5 Minor Protection

Ml88 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. We have a zero-tolerance policy for access by individuals under 18 years of age. The layers of controls we apply include the following:

  • Mandatory Age Verification: Every new account applicant must verify their age during the registration process. A valid identification document is required to complete the KYC process.
  • Continuous Monitoring: ml88's compliance team monitors accounts displaying suspicious behavioural patterns and may request additional age verification at any time.
  • Two-Factor Verification: A rigorous KYC process ensures that only verified, age-eligible individuals can complete full registration and access all platform features.

We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on devices shared with children. Recommended parental control options include Net Nanny, Qustodio, and Circle. These provide a highly effective additional layer of protection.

For Parents & Guardians
If you suspect that a young person is accessing the ML88 platform without authorisation, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will act swiftly to investigate and address the case.

7 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes, deposit limits can be modified or removed, but a waiting period applies as enforced by the system. Any change that relaxes an existing limit requires a waiting period of 24 to 72 hours before taking effect. This is a deliberate protection mechanism designed to prevent impulsive decisions. Stricter limits, however, take effect immediately.

All balances in your account remain secure throughout the self-exclusion period. You will be unable to access the platform for betting purposes; however, once the exclusion period ends, you may contact support to process a balance withdrawal. ml88 guarantees the safety of your funds at all times.

No. All self-exclusion requests and related account information are kept strictly confidential. ml88 will not disclose this information to any third party unless required by law. Your privacy is our priority.

Self-exclusion requests are processed within no more than 24 business hours. In most cases, they are activated within just a few hours. Once activated, you will be unable to log in or make any transactions on the ml88 platform for the period you have chosen.

Not at all. All self-control tools at ml88 — including deposit limits, time limits, voluntary breaks, loss limits, and self-exclusion — are completely free for all registered members. We believe access to self-protection tools should never come at a cost.

ml88 uses a continuous monitoring system that automatically analyses player activity patterns. Indicators monitored include sudden spikes in deposit amounts, unusually long play sessions, abnormal game frequency, and risky betting patterns. If a concerning pattern is detected, our team will proactively reach out to the player in question.
