1 Introduction to Responsible Gaming

Online gaming at m99y is designed as a source of entertainment — a way to relax, enjoy the excitement and experience the challenge of games within an active player community in Malaysia. However, we are fully aware that for some individuals, the line between entertainment and addiction can blur without them realising it.

That is why Responsible Gaming is more than just a slogan at m99y — it is a genuine commitment embedded in every aspect of our platform, from product design to the training of our support staff. We believe that empowering members to make informed decisions is our most fundamental responsibility.

The m99y Philosophy: A good gaming experience is one you control — not one that controls you. Every tool we offer exists to ensure you remain the decision-maker in your own gaming experience.

This page contains everything you need to know about m99y's Responsible Gaming policy, the control tools available, how to recognise early warning signs, and where to seek help if needed. We encourage every member to read and understand this guide carefully.

2 Core Principles of Safe Gaming at m99y

Before you start playing or making a deposit, it is worth understanding and holding firm to the core principles that separate healthy entertainment from harmful habits. At m99y, we actively educate members on the following guidelines:

  • Gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. Do not rely on betting winnings to pay bills or cover daily essentials. Your gaming budget should be kept separate from money set aside for living expenses.
  • Set limits before you play. Set a budget and time limit before opening the app — and stick to them even when things seem to be going well.
  • Don't chase losses. Attempting to recover lost money by playing more is one of the leading causes of problem gambling. Accept losses as a natural part of the game.
  • Take regular breaks. Short breaks between gaming sessions help you stay clear-headed and make better decisions — rather than playing purely on emotion.
  • Don't play when you're stressed or feeling low. Playing to escape personal problems or emotional stress is a warning sign that deserves serious attention.
  • Balance gaming with other activities. Ensure your hobbies, family relationships and work responsibilities are not disrupted by your activity on the platform.
  • Understand how the games work. Every game has a house edge. Understanding how odds work helps you make smarter and more realistic gaming decisions.

m99y Tip: Set a time reminder in our app so you receive a notification after playing for a set duration. This helps you stay aware of the time you spend on the platform.

3 Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely appears out of nowhere. It typically develops gradually, starting with habits that seem minor but become increasingly difficult to control over time. Recognising the early signs is the most important step toward getting help in time.

Warning Signs — Ask Yourself:
  • Do you frequently think about gambling even while doing other activities?
  • Do you need to bet larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
  • Have you ever tried to stop or reduce gambling but failed?
  • Has gambling caused problems in your relationships with family or friends?
  • Are you in debt or using money meant for other needs for gambling?
  • Do you feel anxious, restless, or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling?
  • Do you hide your gambling activity from loved ones?

Important: If you answered "Yes" to two or more of the questions above, we encourage you to use the self-control tools on the m99y platform or reach out to our support team. Seeking help early is a sign of courage, not weakness.

4 Self-Control Tools Available at m99y

M99y provides a range of self-control tools that you can activate directly through your account settings at any time, without needing to contact customer support first. All tools are free and instantly accessible.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit
Set the maximum deposit amount you can make within a given time period. This limit takes effect immediately and can be lowered at any time.
Session Time Limit
Set your daily session time limit. Once the limit is reached, you will be reminded and the session will be ended automatically.
Cooling-off Period
Step away from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make deposits.
Self-Exclusion
Option to self-exclude from the platform for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanently. Your account will be fully restricted for the chosen period.
Daily / Weekly Loss Limit
Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to accept. Once the limit is reached, you will be unable to place further bets for that period.
Hide Account Balance
Option to hide your account balance display while playing, helping you focus on entertainment without being tempted to keep playing simply because you can see your balance.

How to Access: Login to your m99y account → Click the profile icon → Select "Responsible Gaming Settings" → Choose the tool you wish to activate. Any limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 48-hour waiting period for your added protection.

5 Self-Assessment — How Healthy Is Your Play?

Use these self-assessment questions as a personal guide. There are no right or wrong answers — the goal is to help you honestly evaluate your gaming patterns.

2Have you ever gambled with money meant for daily essentials (rent, food, bills)?

4What motivates you to play at m99y most often?

5Have your loved ones ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?

Assessment Guide: If most of your answers lean towards the third or fourth option, we recommend activating the self-control tools and/or contacting our support team for a confidential, judgement-free conversation.

6 Protection for Minors and Vulnerable Individuals

M99y has a zero-tolerance policy regarding the involvement of minors on our platform. All account registrations go through a strict age verification process, and we require valid identification documents during KYC to confirm that every member is aged 18 and above.

If you share a device with children or teenagers, we encourage you to:

  • Always log out of your m99y account when not in use, especially on shared devices.
  • Use parental control features on your device to block access to online gambling platforms.
  • Never share your login details with anyone, including family members.
  • Please report to us if you suspect any underage individual is using this platform.

For those who have recently recovered from addiction or are currently undergoing rehabilitation, we strongly encourage the use of long-term self-exclusion features and consulting a qualified mental health professional before resuming any gambling activity.

8 FAQ — Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gaming refers to a set of practices, policies and tools designed to ensure gambling activities remain safe and controlled entertainment. It matters because it helps prevent addiction, protects the financial and mental wellbeing of members, and ensures the platform operates ethically. At m99y, we take this responsibility seriously and provide comprehensive self-control tools for every member.

Login to your m99y account, then go to Settings → Responsible Gaming. There you will find all self-control options including daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits, loss limits and session time limits. Any limit reductions take effect immediately. If you wish to increase a limit, a 48-hour waiting period applies to ensure your decision has been carefully considered.

A Cooling-off Period is a temporary break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days during which your account will be temporarily suspended. Once the period ends, your account will be restored automatically. Self-Exclusion is a more serious measure — your account will be blocked for a longer duration (1 month to permanent) and cannot be reinstated before the period expires. We recommend Self-Exclusion for those who need a more structured and extended distance from the platform.

Yes, your account balance is fully secure during the self-exclusion period. Your funds will not be lost. You may contact the m99y support team to withdraw your remaining balance even while your account is under self-exclusion. Withdrawals will be processed through established channels in accordance with our standard identity verification procedures.

No. When you activate Self-Exclusion, your information is flagged in our system. Any attempt to register a new account using the same identification document will be automatically blocked during the KYC verification process. This is part of our commitment to ensuring Self-Exclusion truly works as a robust protection for you.

For immediate assistance with your m99y account, contact our support team via Live Chat available 24/7 or email [email protected]. For mental health support and gambling addiction issues, you can reach the KKM HEAL Hotline at 15555 — this service is free, confidential, and available around the clock for all Malaysian citizens.
