Self-Control Tools

Six Responsible Gaming Tools at 888new

All these tools are available directly in your account without needing to contact anyone. Activate them at any time based on your needs.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum deposit amount you can load within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. This limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased while the current limit period is active.

Session Time Limit

Limit the amount of time you spend in each gaming session. When the time limit is reached, the system will send you an alert and can automatically log you out of the platform.

Loss Limit

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

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a temporary cool-off period for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in to your account, giving yourself the space you need.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling has become a serious problem, the self-exclusion option allows you to close access to your account for a minimum period of 6 months or permanently. This action cannot be reversed before the period ends.

Real-Time Alerts

Receive automatic notifications whenever you are approaching a set limit, have been playing beyond a certain period, or when your playing patterns show signs of concern.


What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gambling refers to a healthy and controlled approach to online gambling activity. It means understanding the risks involved, playing within your financial means, and knowing when to stop. At 888new, we do more than provide entertainment — we play an active role in maintaining a safe playing environment for all members.

Online gambling can be an enjoyable source of entertainment when done responsibly. However, it can become a serious problem if left unchecked. Risk factors such as financial stress, emotional difficulties, or playing without time limits can turn entertainment into an addiction that disrupts daily life.

That is why 888new continually invests in systems and tools that help our members stay in control. We support responsible gaming initiatives not merely because they are a regulatory requirement, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every individual who uses our platform.

Our Core Principles: Gambling is entertainment, not a way to solve financial or emotional problems. If you are playing to escape life's pressures, please reach out to our support team.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Recognising the early warning signs of a gambling problem is the most important first step. Here are some signs to take seriously — whether in yourself or someone you care about:

Borrowing Money to Gamble

You start borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions specifically to continue gambling.

Loss of Time Control

You play far longer than intended and find it hard to stop even when you've set out to do so.

Chasing Losses

You keep playing in hopes of "winning back" money you've already lost, even when it leads to greater losses.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Work, family, or social relationships start to suffer because you are prioritising gambling over everything else.

Post-Loss Depression

You feel very stressed, sad, or angry after a loss, and your emotional state is heavily tied to the outcome of your sessions.

Hiding Activity

You hide the amount of money spent or time played from your family and close friends.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to contact the 888new support team or use the self-control tools available in your account immediately.

Guide to Playing Responsibly

Here are some practical guidelines we recommend to every 888new member to ensure your gaming experience stays fun and entertaining:

  • Set a budget before playing: Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening any game. Treat this money as an entertainment cost, not an investment.
  • Use the platform's deposit limit: Set a daily or weekly deposit limit in your account settings. It's the simplest way to make sure you don't overspend.
  • Set a time limit: Before playing, set a time limit and stick to it. Use a timer on your phone as an extra reminder.
  • Don't play when you're emotionally unstable: Avoid playing when you are stressed, angry, sad, or fatigued. An unstable emotional state can negatively affect your judgment.
  • Don't chase your losses: If you have already reached your loss limit, stop. Chasing losses almost always results in even greater losses.
  • Take regular breaks: Stand up, stretch, and take a break every 30 to 60 minutes. This helps you stay clear-headed and make better decisions.
  • Don't neglect your basic needs: Eating, sleeping, and social relationships matter more than any game. Make sure gambling never replaces these basic needs.
  • Play for fun, not profit: Think of gambling as entertainment — like going to the cinema or dining at a nice restaurant. There's a cost involved, and that cost is for the experience, not a guaranteed return.

Self-Assessment – Are You Playing Responsibly?

Answer the questions below honestly. This is not a formal assessment, but it can help you evaluate whether your gaming habits are still in a healthy balance.

1

In the past two weeks, have you ever played longer or spent more than you planned?

2

Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from people close to you?

3

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

4

Have you ever felt unable to stop playing even after deciding that you would?

5

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships with family, friends, or your employer?

6

Have you ever gambled to escape problems or uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, depression, or loneliness?

If you answered "Yes" to two or more questions, we encourage you to speak with our support team or use the self-exclusion tool in your account. You don't have to face this alone.

Protection for Children & Vulnerable Individuals

888new enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy on underage access. Our platform is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and above, and we enforce multiple layers of verification to ensure strict compliance.

Our identity verification (KYC) process requires every new member to verify their age and identity before making any deposit or withdrawal. Accepted verification documents include MyKad, a valid Malaysian passport, or any government-approved identification document.

If you are a parent or guardian, here are some steps you can take to protect the children in your home:

  • Use parental control software on shared devices to block access to online gambling sites.
  • Do not save your gambling account password in a web browser shared with other family members.
  • Make sure the bank accounts and payment methods linked to your gambling account are not easily accessible to children.
  • Have an open conversation with your children about the risks of gambling and the importance of responsible gambling when they reach the appropriate age.

For individuals who may be at heightened risk of gambling addiction due to mental health conditions or other circumstances, we encourage you to use the self-exclusion tool as a preventive measure and to seek appropriate professional support.

FAQ

FAQ – Responsible Gambling

Deposit limits can be lowered at any time and take effect immediately. However, to increase a deposit limit, a mandatory 7-day waiting period applies to ensure the decision is made consciously and not impulsively.

Once self-exclusion is activated, your account will be locked and you will be unable to login, make deposits, or play for the duration you selected. Any balance in your account will remain safe and can be withdrawn after the exclusion period ends. You will also not receive any marketing communications from us during this period.

Yes, all self-control tools at 888new are completely free for all registered members. There are no charges or additional requirements to use deposit limits, time limits, cool-off periods, or self-exclusion. This is part of our commitment to member wellbeing.

Contact the 888new support team immediately via 24/7 live chat. We can freeze your account instantly, investigate suspicious activity, and help you safely regain full control of your account. We also recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for added protection.

A loss limit lets you set the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, the system will prevent you from placing any further bets until the limit resets at the start of the next period. This is one of the most effective tools for managing your finances in gambling.

In Malaysia, there are several support resources you can reach out to: Talian Kasih 15999 (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development), Befrienders Kuala Lumpur at 03-7627 2929, and government hospitals offering mental health clinics and addiction counselling services. The 888new support team can also refer you to the right resources based on your needs.
