The Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at club98

Club98 is more than just an entertainment platform — we are committed to ensuring every member plays in a healthy and controlled environment.

Deposit & Wagering Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. These limits take effect immediately and help you stay within your self-defined budget without relying on external controls.

Play Time Monitor

Club98's session time monitor will send alerts once you have been playing for the set duration. You can configure a session time limit and the system will automatically notify you when you are approaching it.

Playing Break

Need a short break? Use the play break feature to temporarily suspend access to your account — whether for 24 hours, a week, a month, or a duration of your own choosing. No questions asked, no barriers.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gambling is beginning to have a negative impact on your life, you may apply for full self-exclusion. Your account will be closed and you will not be able to re-register for the chosen period — a minimum of six months up to permanent.

Ad Blocking

Members who have opted for a playing break or self-exclusion will be automatically removed from all club98 marketing lists. You will not receive any promotional emails, bonus notifications, or targeted advertisements from us.

Dedicated 24/7 Support

Our dedicated responsible support team is specially trained to assist members facing gambling-related issues. Reach us anytime via live chat — all conversations are completely confidential.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a balanced approach to play — where entertainment remains the top priority and money spent is treated as the cost of enjoyment, not an investment or a source of income. At club98, we believe every member deserves a fun gaming experience without letting it interfere with daily life.

The reality of online gambling in Malaysia is — many start with good intentions but gradually lose control without realising it. The signs are subtle: playing longer than planned, chasing losses, borrowing money to gamble, or lying to loved ones about your gambling activity. If any of this sounds familiar, club98 is here to help.

Our Principle: Entertainment First, Everything Else Second

Club98 is built on a simple principle — our platform exists to deliver quality entertainment, not to exploit human vulnerabilities. That is why we invest seriously in responsible gaming tools that genuinely work, not merely to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Every platform design decision we make — from how we display account balances to how bonus notifications are delivered — takes into account the psychological impact on our members. We actively avoid design patterns known to encourage excessive wagering.

Remember: Gambling should never be seen as a way to solve financial problems, escape stress, or improve a bad mood. If you find yourself playing for these reasons, please use our support tools or contact our support team immediately.

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It builds gradually and is often difficult to detect on your own. Here are some warning signs you should take seriously:

  • You frequently think about gambling throughout the day even when not playing — planning your next session or calculating money you will "win".
  • You need to wager increasingly larger amounts of money to get the same excitement or thrill as before.
  • You have tried to stop or cut back on gambling but were unsuccessful, even after repeated attempts.
  • You are using money set aside for other needs — rent, bills, food, or debt — to gamble.
  • You are hiding your gambling activity from family members, friends, or your partner.
  • You are chasing losses — believing a big win is just around the corner and will fix everything.
  • Gambling is beginning to affect your personal relationships, work performance, or mental health.
If you identify three or more of the above signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to take our self-assessment quiz or speak confidentially with our support team. Acknowledging a problem is the most courageous first step.

How to Use club98 Control Tools

1
Login & Open Account Settings

Click the profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings". Look for the tab labelled "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Controls".

You will see a list of tools including deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, playing breaks, and self-exclusion. Select the tool that best suits your current needs.

5
Review Periodically

We encourage you to review your limit settings monthly and adjust them according to changes in your financial situation and life circumstances.

Child & Youth Protection

Club98 requires a minimum age of 18 for all members without exception. All new applicants must complete an age verification process during registration. Valid identification documents are required before any withdrawal is permitted.

If you share a device or computer with younger family members, we recommend using a strong password for your club98 account, logging out after every session, and considering parental control software at the device operating system level.

club98's Commitment: Any account suspected of being used by a minor will be suspended immediately pending investigation. We take child protection extremely seriously and have zero tolerance in this regard.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by club98 members about responsible gaming.

Log in to your club98 account, then navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits. There you can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits according to your budget. Limit decreases take effect immediately, while limit increases require a 24-hour waiting period as an additional safeguard.

A playing break is a temporary pause — you choose the duration (24 hours to several months) and once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion is a more serious and permanent step — your account is closed for a minimum of six months up to permanently, and you cannot reopen your account or register a new one before that period expires.

Yes, completely. All conversations with the club98 responsible support team are confidential and protected under our strict privacy policy. Information you share will not be disclosed to any other party unless required by law. You may speak freely without risk of judgement or exposure.

Yes. If you have a balance in your account when applying for self-exclusion, you may request a withdrawal of that balance through the standard withdrawal channels. Our support team will process your request promptly. Active bonus balances with unfulfilled wagering requirements may be forfeited in accordance with the relevant promotional terms.

club98's monitoring system continuously analyses gameplay patterns using indicators identified by responsible gaming researchers. These include sudden increases in betting frequency or amount, loss-chasing patterns, excessively long play sessions, and abrupt changes in playing behaviour. When the system detects a concerning pattern, our team will proactively reach out to the member in a caring and non-punitive manner.

Absolutely not. club98 enforces a strict minimum age of 18. All registrations go through a rigorous age verification process, and valid identification documents are required before any financial transactions are permitted. Any account found to belong to a minor will be closed immediately and any balance will be returned to the relevant rightful owner.
