Self-Control Tools on the mm98 Platform

We built these features not just as a formality — they are genuinely designed to help you play smarter.

Daily Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to keep your gambling spending within the budget you've set for yourself.

Session Time Limit

Activate session time alerts and play session limits so you never lose track without realising it. The mm98 platform will notify you when your time limit is approaching.

Temporary Break (Cool-off)

If you feel you need a short break, the cool-off option lets you suspend account access for 24 hours up to 6 weeks without having to close your account.

Self-Exclusion

Long-term self-exclusion is available for players who need a more serious break — from 6 months to permanent, based on your needs.

Gaming History Review

Easily monitor your gaming activity through detailed history records. Reviewing your own play patterns is the first step towards more responsible gaming.

24/7 Support

The mm98 support team is always ready to help you set up any self-control tools or discuss your gaming habits at any time, day or night.

mm98's Commitment

Responsible gaming isn't just a slogan at mm98 — it's part of how we operate. We believe players who game in a healthy, controlled way enjoy a better and longer-lasting experience.

1Introduction to Responsible Gaming

Online gaming should be a fun source of entertainment — like watching a movie or going on a family trip. When gaming starts taking over daily life, affecting personal relationships, or causing financial stress, it's no longer entertainment. That's where responsible gaming becomes essential.

Mm98 is committed to providing a safe and responsible gaming environment for all Malaysian players. We understand that not everyone has the same relationship with gambling, and some players may need additional support to stay in control.

This page provides a comprehensive guide on how to play responsibly at mm98, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to seek help if you need it. Read carefully and bookmark this page for future reference.

2Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Before playing on any platform, including mm98, there are a few core principles every player should keep in mind:

  • Only play with money you can afford to lose. Never use savings, monthly bill money, or emergency funds for gambling. Set a separate entertainment budget specifically for gaming.
  • Set time and spending limits before you start playing. Decide how long you'll play and how much you'll spend before opening a game — not in the middle of a session.
  • Accept that losses are part of the game. No system or strategy can guarantee wins. Every game has a house edge built into it.
  • Never chase your losses. One of the most dangerous habits in gambling is betting more to try to recover money already lost. This almost always makes things worse.
  • Balance it with other activities. Make sure that time spent playing does not replace time with family, work, or other healthy activities that matter in your life.
  • Never play when you are in an emotionally unstable state. Playing while stressed, sad, angry, or under the influence of alcohol is a recipe for poor decision-making.
Always Remember

A big win in a game is the exception, not the rule. If you find yourself playing primarily to "recover" your financial situation or pay off debts, this is a serious warning sign that needs immediate attention.

3Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Early identification of a problem is key to an easier resolution. Here are signs that your gaming habits may need attention:

  • Feeling the need to hide how much time or money you have spent gambling from family members or friends.
  • Gambling begins to interfere with work responsibilities, family, or personal commitments.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or uneasy when you are unable to play.
  • Constantly thinking about gambling even in other situations — while at work, with family, or before bed.
  • Using gambling as a way to escape from problems or negative feelings.
  • Making promises to yourself to stop or cut back, but failing to follow through.
  • Taking progressively larger financial risks over time to feel the same level of excitement.

If you recognise yourself in any of the points above, that is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign that you could use some help and support. Contact the mm98 support team to discuss the options available.

4Self-Control Tools at mm98

Mm98 provides a comprehensive set of self-control tools, accessible directly through your account settings on the mm98 platform or mobile app:

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately when lowered, but require a 7-day waiting period to increase.

Play Time Limit

Limit the duration of your play sessions. The platform will send an alert when your time limit is approaching and will automatically log you out once the limit is reached.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit for a given period. Once this limit is reached, you will not be able to continue playing until the limit period resets.

Temporary Break

Cool-off options from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this period, you cannot log in or make deposits, but you can still withdraw your available balance.

Self-Exclusion

For more serious cases, self-exclusion from 6 months to permanent can be activated. All remaining balances will be returned to you during this process.

Full Transaction History

Review all your deposit, withdrawal, and gaming activity records in detail to help you monitor your gambling habits over time.

5Self-Assessment – Are You Playing Responsibly?

Below is a brief self-assessment to help you evaluate your relationship with gambling. Answer honestly with yourself:

Self-Assessment Questions

1

Have you ever played longer than you originally planned?

2

Have you ever increased your wagering amount to feel the same level of excitement as before?

3

Have you ever lied to family members or friends about your gambling?

4

Have you ever used money meant for other needs — bills, food, rent — to gamble?

5

Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or uneasy when trying to cut back or stop gambling?

6

Have you ever returned to play the next day just to try to win back money you lost?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, we encourage you to reach out to the mm98 support team or use the self-control tools available on the platform.

6Minor Player Protection

Mm98 takes the protection of minors and young people very seriously. The mm98 platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above, with no exceptions. We carry out a rigorous age verification (KYC) process during registration and prior to the first withdrawal.

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend the following steps:

  • Always log out of your mm98 account when you're not using it.
  • Do not save your password on devices shared with children or teenagers.
  • Use parental control features on your device to block access to gambling sites.
  • Keep your login credentials as secure as you would your banking password.
Important Notice

If you suspect that someone under the age of 18 has accessed or used a mm98 account, please contact our support team immediately. We will take appropriate action, including account suspension while an investigation is conducted.

7FAQ – Responsible Gaming

You can set deposit limits directly through the "Account Settings" section on the mm98 platform or mobile app. Select "Responsible Gaming" then "Deposit Limit" and choose your preferred period and amount. Limit reductions take effect immediately, while limit increases require a 7-day waiting period as an added safeguard.

A cool-off is a short-term option lasting 24 hours to 6 weeks — ideal if you just need a brief pause. Self-exclusion is a more serious, long-term step, ranging from 6 months to permanent. During self-exclusion, your account will be fully suspended and you will not receive any marketing communications from mm98.

Yes. During a cool-off period, you cannot make new deposits or access games, but you can still withdraw your available account balance. This ensures your funds are not locked while you take a break. For self-exclusion, your balance will also be returned to you through the designated process.

Yes. mm98 uses an internal monitoring system that identifies gaming patterns which may indicate a problem — such as a sudden spike in betting, very long play sessions, or repeated attempts to override set limits. When such patterns are detected, our team may reach out to the player to offer information and support on responsible gaming.

Beyond mm98's internal support, you can get expert help from organisations that provide counselling for gambling-related issues in Malaysia. Contact the mm98 support team via live chat and we can share more information about available resources. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
