What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying wagering activities as a form of entertainment — with clear limits, full awareness, and control firmly in your hands. It's not about avoiding play, but about playing in a smart and safe way.

V98 takes a proactive approach to this. We don't wait for problems to arise before acting. Instead, we build prevention tools directly into the platform so you are always in control — without having to think too hard about it.

Many players enjoy years of play without any issues because they know their own limits. For a small number of people, however, betting can become more than just entertainment — and that's exactly why we're here. v98 provides a complete support framework, from daily deposit limits all the way to full self-exclusion options.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming at v98

There are several principles we hold firmly in operating this platform. These principles are not just words — they are reflected in every feature we build:

  • You play with money you can afford to lose. Never use daily essential funds, loans, or emergency savings to gamble.
  • Gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. No strategy can guarantee consistent wins in chance-based games.
  • Gaming time has its limits. Set a time limit and keep to it — even when you're winning.
  • The decision to stop is a wise one. Knowing when to stop is a skill every player needs to develop.
  • Do not chase your losses. Chasing money you have already lost often leads to even greater losses.
Important to remember: Online gaming involves real financial risk. The decision to play is a personal one and you are solely responsible for your own actions.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Identifying problems early is the key to effective solutions. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

  • Feeling compelled to play even when you do not want to or do not have the time.
  • Lying to family or friends about your gambling activity.
  • Using money meant for other needs — such as rent, food, or bills — to gamble.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to play.
  • Playing longer or spending more than originally planned.
  • Viewing gambling as a way to solve financial problems.
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities due to gambling.

If you identify any of the signs above in yourself, do not be ashamed to seek help. This is a sign of courage, not weakness. Contact the v98 support team or use the self-exclusion tool available in your account.

Remember: Asking for help is the most important first step. You do not have to go through this alone — our support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Child & Young Person Protection

V98 is an exclusive platform for users aged 18 and above. We use a rigorous identity verification (KYC) process to ensure that no underage individuals can access the platform. Every new account requires age verification before any financial transactions can be made.

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend that you always log out of your v98 account after playing and use a strong password that children in the household do not know. Parental control software can also be used as an additional layer of protection.

V98's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

As a trusted platform in Malaysia, v98 does more than just meet regulatory requirements — we go further. Our team continuously monitors gaming patterns that may show signs of concern, and we proactively reach out to members if we identify any early warning signs.

We also train our support team to respond with empathy and without judgment when members reach out regarding responsible gaming issues. Every conversation is kept strictly confidential.

Responsible Gaming Control Tools at v98

All these tools are available directly within your account — no approval process or support contact needed to activate them.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum deposit amount allowed within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, the system automatically blocks additional deposits until the period resets.

Play Time Limit

Set a daily session time limit. Once the limit is reached, the platform will send a reminder and automatically log you out of your session for the day.

Temporary Break (Cool-off)

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make any deposits. Useful when you feel you need a short breather.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a more drastic step, you can exclude yourself from the platform for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Your account will be fully suspended and cannot be reactivated before the period ends.

Promotional Notification Controls

You can choose to opt out of all promotional notifications, bonus offers, or marketing emails. This helps reduce unnecessary temptation when you are trying to cut back on your gaming activity.

Personal Activity Report

View a full summary of your gaming activity — including total time played, total deposits, and win/loss history — to help you make an accurate assessment of your gaming habits.

How to Activate the Control Tools

A simple process that can be completed directly within your account with no delays.

1

Log In to Your v98 Account

Access the platform via the v98 website or mobile app and log in to your account as usual.

2

Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon at the top right and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3

Select "Responsible Gaming"

In the settings menu, look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Play Controls" section and click to open it.

4

Choose the Tool You Need

Select the type of control you want to activate — deposit limits, time limits, a temporary break, or self-exclusion — and set the appropriate parameters.

5

Confirm & Activate

Confirm your selection. Reduced limits or self-exclusion take effect immediately. Increased limits have a 24-hour waiting period for your protection.

Responsible Gaming Tips

Set a playing budget before you start, and stick to that limit without exception.

Do not play when you are in an emotionally unstable state, feeling stressed, or after consuming alcohol.

Take regular breaks during your gaming session — get up, stretch, and step away from the screen for a moment.

Balance your gaming time with other activities such as sports, hobbies, or quality time with family.

Accept that losses are part of the game — never treat them as a debt that needs to be recovered.

Stop playing once you have reached your win limit or loss limit — even if you feel lucky that day.

Important Reminder

Limits you reduce (e.g., lowering your deposit limit) take effect immediately. However, to increase a limit again, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies — this is a protection mechanism for your own benefit.

FAQ — Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by v98 members regarding responsible gaming.

No. Self-exclusion is a commitment that cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is an intentional design to protect you. If you choose self-exclusion for 6 months, your account can only be reactivated after a full 6 months have passed and a review has been completed by our team.

A Temporary Break (Cool-off) is a short-term option — from 24 hours to one month — during which you cannot log in to the platform. It's ideal when you feel you need a brief pause. Self-Exclusion is a more permanent measure — from 6 months to indefinitely — and cannot be reversed before the period ends. It's the right choice when you or a loved one has serious concerns about gambling habits.

Yes. The balance in your account is fully secure during your self-exclusion period. You may contact customer support to request a withdrawal of your account balance even during the exclusion period. The withdrawal will be processed as normal in accordance with v98's standard procedures.

If you are concerned about a family member using the v98 platform, you can contact our support team directly. With sufficient information, we can help review the situation of the relevant account and take appropriate action. All reports are handled with full confidentiality and empathy.

A lowered deposit limit takes effect immediately once you confirm it in your account settings. Conversely, if you wish to increase an existing deposit limit, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period applies before the change takes effect. This is an automatic protection mechanism to ensure you do not make impulsive decisions you may later regret.

Absolutely. All information related to the use of responsible gaming control tools, including self-exclusion and support enquiries, is handled to the highest confidentiality standards. This information will not be shared with any third party except where required by law. Please refer to Privacy Policy for more information.
