Player Wellbeing and Safer Play

Responsible Gambling at YES8MY

Gambling should remain an optional form of entertainment, never a source of income or a way to recover financial losses. This guide explains the YES8MY responsible gambling approach, the controls available to adult players, and practical steps for recognising and addressing harmful play.

Our Commitment

Keeping Gambling Safe, Controlled and Enjoyable

YES8MY promotes responsible gambling for Malaysian players in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and throughout the country. Casino games, EPL markets, Liga Super Malaysia fixtures, UFC events and live football should be approached with the same principle: only wager money and time that you can comfortably afford to lose.

Responsible gambling is a shared commitment. YES8MY provides information and account controls, while each player is expected to set realistic boundaries, monitor personal behaviour and seek assistance early when gambling no longer feels recreational. No betting system, promotion, strategy or past result can guarantee a future win.

Important: YES8MY is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Anyone under 21 must not register, deposit, place a wager or use another person's account.

Deposit Limits

Set a fixed amount for deposits over a chosen period so your gaming budget stays within an affordable MYR limit.

Session Awareness

Track how long you play, schedule regular breaks and avoid extended sessions during EPL or live casino events.

Cooling-Off Periods

Take a temporary break from YES8MY when you need distance, perspective or time to review your habits.

Self-Exclusion

Request a longer account restriction when a temporary break is not enough to support responsible gambling.

1Core Responsible Gambling Principles

Responsible gambling begins before the first wager is placed. Decide what you can afford to spend, how long you intend to play and the point at which you will stop. Your gambling budget should remain separate from rent, food, transport, education, healthcare, loan repayments and family commitments.

  • Treat every stake as money that may be lost.
  • Set a clear budget in RM and do not increase it after losing.
  • Schedule a finishing time and take regular screen breaks.
  • Avoid gambling when upset, tired, under pressure or affected by alcohol.
  • Never borrow from friends, credit facilities or essential savings to place bets.
  • Review transaction and betting records rather than relying on memory.

A promotional bonus does not remove risk. Wagering conditions can require repeated play, so players should read the applicable rules before accepting an offer. Responsible gambling means declining a promotion when it does not fit your budget or planned activity.

2Deposit and Spending Limits

Deposit limits are one of the most useful responsible gambling controls. A limit places a ceiling on the amount that may be added to an account during a defined period. Before choosing a figure, calculate disposable income only after essential expenses and savings have been covered.

Control Purpose Good Practice
Daily limit Restricts short-term deposits during a single day. Use a modest fixed RM amount and do not treat it as a target.
Weekly limit Controls total deposits across several gaming sessions. Compare it with your weekly leisure budget before setting it.
Monthly limit Provides a broader view of gambling expenditure. Review it alongside Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, FPX and bank statements.
Loss boundary Defines the maximum loss you are prepared to accept. Stop when the boundary is reached and never chase the amount lost.

A request to reduce a limit should be applied as soon as operationally possible. Any request to increase a limit may be subject to a cooling period or account review. Contact YES8MY support if account controls are not visible or if you need help selecting an appropriate restriction.

3Recognising Warning Signs

Harmful gambling can develop gradually. Regular self-checks help identify concerns before they become more serious. One sign does not automatically establish a gambling disorder, but repeated or escalating patterns should not be ignored.

  • Spending more time or money than originally planned.
  • Chasing losses with larger or more frequent bets.
  • Hiding gambling activity or transaction history from family members.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions or delaying bills to continue gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, restless, angry or unable to stop when not gambling.
  • Allowing play to interfere with work, study, sleep, health or relationships.
  • Using gambling to escape loneliness, stress, grief or financial pressure.
  • Creating another account to bypass a limit, cooling-off period or self-exclusion.

If these behaviours feel familiar, stop depositing and wagering immediately. Speak with someone you trust, review your finances and request an account restriction. Responsible gambling support is most effective when action is taken early.

4Cooling-Off Periods

A cooling-off period is a temporary account break. It can be appropriate after an intense run of live football betting, a difficult casino session or any moment when your decisions feel driven by emotion rather than a planned entertainment budget.

During a confirmed cooling-off period, access to gambling functions may be restricted for the selected duration. You should remove saved payment shortcuts, switch off promotional messages and use the break to review your behaviour. A cooling-off period should not be bypassed by creating another account or using another person's account.

When access resumes, reconsider your deposit limit before returning. A break is not successful merely because time has passed; it should provide an opportunity to decide honestly whether returning to gambling is appropriate.

5Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a stronger responsible gambling measure for anyone who needs an extended break. A player may request that YES8MY restrict the relevant account for an available exclusion period. Support may ask for information needed to confirm identity and correctly apply the restriction.

Once self-exclusion is confirmed, the player should not attempt to register another account, alter identity details or ask another person to gamble on their behalf. Where reasonably identifiable, duplicate access attempts may be restricted. Eligible remaining funds may still be handled in accordance with verification requirements and the Terms & Conditions.

Self-exclusion works best as part of a wider plan. Consider asking Malaysian banks or e-wallet providers whether they offer transaction controls, removing gambling applications and bookmarks, using device-level blocking software, and involving a trusted family member or counsellor. If you require an exclusion, contact support using the plain-text address [email protected].

6Support Resources

Professional and community support can help with the emotional, financial and relationship effects of gambling. YES8MY support can assist with account limits and self-exclusion, but it does not replace qualified counselling, medical care, legal guidance or financial advice.

  • Talian Kasih 15999: A Malaysian helpline for social and family welfare concerns. It is not a dedicated gambling-treatment service, but it may help direct callers towards appropriate local assistance.
  • GamCare: An international organisation that provides information and support concerning gambling-related harm. Availability and service scope may vary outside the United Kingdom.
  • Local healthcare support: A registered doctor, counsellor or mental-health professional in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru or your nearest Malaysian community can provide confidential assessment and guidance.
  • Trusted personal support: A family member or close friend can help you maintain financial boundaries and follow through with a break from gambling.

These resources are provided as text-only references. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental-health crisis, stop gambling and contact the appropriate Malaysian emergency service or attend the nearest hospital.

7Protecting Young People

YES8MY is available only to adults aged 21 and above. Parents and guardians should not share account credentials, identity documents, payment details or unlocked devices with anyone under 21. Passwords should be unique, and automatic login should be disabled on shared household devices.

If you believe someone under 21 has accessed YES8MY, contact support promptly. The account may be suspended while age and identity details are reviewed. Adults should also explain that gambling products are not games for children and that wins shown in advertising or social media do not represent typical outcomes.

8Privacy and Responsible Gambling Reviews

Information associated with responsible gambling controls may include deposit history, wager patterns, session activity, account restrictions and communications with support. YES8MY may review relevant account information to identify unusual behaviour, respond to wellbeing concerns and administer requested restrictions.

Personal information is handled according to the Privacy Policy. A request for support should include only the details needed to identify the account and explain the required control. Never send a password or one-time security code.
