Deposit Limits
Set a fixed cap on the amount you may deposit over a selected period. A responsible gambling limit should reflect disposable income, not savings, rent, loan payments, or household expenses.
Stay in Control
Responsible Gambling at my96m
Responsible gambling means treating betting and casino games as paid entertainment, setting firm limits before play begins, and stopping when gambling is no longer enjoyable. my96m provides practical controls and clear information to help Malaysian players make informed decisions.
Responsible Gambling Tools
The most effective responsible gambling plan is established before the first wager. These my96m controls can help you manage money, time, access, and account activity.
Session Reminders
Time can pass quickly during live football or casino play. Session reminders help you pause, review how long you have played, and decide whether continuing fits your responsible gambling plan.
Cooling-Off Periods
A temporary break restricts account access for a defined period. Use this option when you feel frustrated, tempted to chase a loss, or unable to follow your usual gambling limits.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion blocks access for a longer period and should be used when gambling is causing harm. Contact my96m support to request exclusion and do not try to create another account.
Activity Reviews
Review your MYR deposits, withdrawals, wagering history, and time spent playing. Accurate records make responsible gambling decisions clearer than relying on memory or recent results.
Age Verification
my96m is strictly for people aged 21 and above. Identity checks help prevent underage access and support a safer, accountable responsible gambling environment.
What Responsible Gambling Means
Responsible gambling begins with a simple understanding: every wager carries a risk of loss. Sports knowledge, a winning streak, or familiarity with EPL, Liga Super Malaysia, UFC, baccarat, or slots cannot guarantee a return. Gambling should never be treated as employment, an investment, or a solution to financial pressure.
Set a realistic entertainment budget in MYR before depositing. That amount should remain affordable even if it is lost in full. Do not use money reserved for food, housing, transport, education, medical care, credit repayments, or family commitments. Responsible gambling also means avoiding borrowed money and refusing to increase a budget in response to a losing result.
Time matters as much as money. Decide how long a session will last, use a timer, and step away when that period ends. Avoid gambling when tired, distressed, angry, under the influence of alcohol, or trying to recover a previous loss. A planned break is a responsible decision, not a failure.
Recognising Warning Signs
Gambling harm can develop gradually. It may not begin with a dramatic financial loss. Changes in mood, secrecy, sleep, concentration, or relationships can appear first. Review the following warning signs honestly:
- Spending more money or time than planned
- Chasing losses with larger or riskier bets
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to gamble
- Hiding account activity from family or friends
- Missing work, study, or family commitments
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not playing
- Using several payment methods to bypass a budget
- Believing one large win will solve financial problems
Experiencing one or more signs does not define you, but it is a reason to act. Stop depositing, take a cooling-off period, speak with someone you trust, and consider self-exclusion. Responsible gambling support is most effective when sought early.
Deposit Limits and Personal Budgets
A deposit limit places a practical boundary between gambling and essential finances. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly amount based on disposable income after all necessary expenses and savings commitments have been met. A limit of RM100 is not responsible merely because another person spends RM500; the right amount depends on your own circumstances.
Do not split deposits across Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, or Hong Leong to avoid a personal budget. The purpose of responsible gambling limits is to control total spending across all payment methods. Review the full amount deposited, not only the balance left in the account.
If you regularly want to raise a limit immediately after setting it, consider taking a break instead. Increasing access during an emotional session can undermine the protection the original limit was intended to provide.
Cooling-Off and Self-Exclusion
Temporary Cooling-Off
A cooling-off period is suitable when you need short-term distance from betting. During the restriction, avoid watching odds with the intention of returning immediately, uninstall saved shortcuts, and remove payment details from easy reach. Use the time to review whether gambling still fits comfortably within your life.
Longer-Term Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger responsible gambling measure for anyone experiencing loss of control or gambling-related harm. Contact my96m through the on-site live chat or use the plain-text support address [email protected]. State clearly that you want self-exclusion and identify the requested duration.
Once self-excluded, do not attempt to open another my96m account, use another person's details, or ask someone else to place wagers. Consider also blocking gambling transactions through your bank or e-wallet where that facility is available. Tell a trusted family member or friend so they can support your decision.
Protecting Young People
my96m is for players aged 21 and above only. Adults should never allow a child or young person to access an account, device, password, or payment method used for gambling. Do not leave an active account open on a shared phone, tablet, or computer.
Parents and guardians should explain that casino games and sports betting involve real financial risk. Use device-level parental controls, keep identity documents secure, enable a strong account password, and review unfamiliar e-wallet or bank transactions. If you believe a person under 21 has accessed my96m, contact support promptly so the account can be reviewed.
Privacy and Requests for Help
Requests for deposit limits, cooling-off, or self-exclusion are handled with appropriate care. my96m may ask for identity verification to ensure that an account restriction is applied to the correct person. Information is processed according to the Privacy Policy.
Support staff can explain available account controls, but they cannot provide medical, psychological, financial, or legal advice. For specialist help, contact a qualified support service. Seeking responsible gambling assistance is confidential, practical, and a positive step towards regaining control.
