Six Responsible Gaming Tools at Sportsbet

All these tools are free, easy to use and can be activated directly from your Sportsbet account dashboard

Self-Imposed Deposit Limits

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Sportsbet will automatically block deposits once the limit is reached – giving you full control over your spending in MYR.

Deposits from RM10
Play Time Limit

Set your daily play session limit — from 30 minutes to several hours. Sportsbet will send you a reminder when you are approaching your time limit and will automatically end the session if it is exceeded.

Adjustable at any time
Cool-Off

Need a short break? Activate break mode for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week or one month. During the break, you will not be able to log in or place any bets on Sportsbet.

From 24 hours to 30 days
Self-Exclusion

For long-term control, self-exclusion allows you to close your Sportsbet account permanently or for a minimum period of 6 months. This decision cannot be reversed until the period expires.

From 6 months to permanent
Maximum Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with per day, week or month. Sportsbet will automatically stop your betting activity once this limit is reached.

Smart financial controls
Check Account Activity

View your complete deposit, withdrawal, betting, and winnings history for any time period. Full transparency helps you make smarter, more informed decisions about your play.

Healthy Gaming Fundamentals

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online betting activities — whether slots, live casino, baccarat, e-sports or Sports Betting on the Malaysia Super League and EPL — as a form of entertainment, not as a means of generating income or solving financial problems.

At Sportsbet, we understand that the majority of Malaysian players gamble in a healthy and controlled way. That said, we also recognise that a small number of players may need support to maintain control over their playing habits.

That's why Sportsbet invest in a comprehensive responsible gaming programme – not because we have to, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every player who trusts our platform.

Remember: Betting is entertainment, not an investment. Only bet with money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily needs and those of your family.

Play for Fun

Think of betting as entertainment, just like watching an EPL match or attending a concert. Set a monthly entertainment budget and stick to that limit with discipline.

Understand Your Odds

Every game on Sportsbet has a house edge. Understanding this helps you play with realistic expectations and avoid relying too heavily on winning.

Don't Chase Losses

Chasing losses by placing larger bets is one of the key warning signs of problem gambling. If you find yourself losing, take a break and come back the next day.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the early warning signs is the most important first step toward getting help

Borrowing money or selling valuables to fund betting

Always trying to chase losses with bigger bets

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to play

Hiding betting activity from family members or friends

Neglecting work, family or school responsibilities due to excessive playing

Needing to bet larger amounts to get the same level of excitement

Losing sleep or appetite due to preoccupation with betting

Repeatedly failing in attempts to cut down or stop playing

If you identify two or more of the signs above in yourself or someone you care about, please contact the Sportsbet team for assistance or use the self-exclusion tools immediately.

Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming Habit Still Healthy?

Answer these quick questions to assess your playing habits. Your responses are private and are not stored by Sportsbet.

Choose the answer that best describes your situation over the past 30 days:

1. How often do you play beyond the time limit you originally planned?
Never – I usually stop as planned
Sometimes – maybe once or twice
Often — it's hard to stop once I've started
2. Have you ever used money set aside for other essentials (food, bills, rent) to fund your betting?
Never — I only use spare money
Once or twice, but not often
Yes, this has happened more than once
3. How do you feel when you lose a bet?
Fine — winning and losing is part of the game
Somewhat frustrated but manageable
Extremely stressed and feeling compelled to bet again to win it back
4. Have you ever hidden your betting activity from someone close to you?
Never – there's nothing to hide
Sometimes – to avoid causing concern
Yes, I actively hide it

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions on Responsible Gaming

Log in to your Sportsbet account, go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in MYR. Limits can be reduced immediately. Increasing limits requires a 48-hour waiting period to ensure you are making a considered decision, not an impulsive one.

Cool-Off Period is a temporary break lasting from 24 hours to 30 days. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. It is ideal if you simply need a short time away. Self-exclusion is more serious — it closes your account for a minimum of 6 months up to permanently, and cannot be reversed. This is a more drastic option for those who need a longer break from the Sportsbet platform.

No – self-exclusion at Sportsbet is final and cannot be reversed until the minimum period has elapsed. This is a protection feature we have deliberately designed to ensure your decision is respected and upheld, even if you feel the urge to play again during the exclusion period. Once the period ends, you will need to actively contact our team to reactivate your account.

No. When you activate a cool-off or self-exclusion, Sportsbet's system will automatically stops all marketing communications – including promotional emails, bonus notifications and Welcome Bonus offers. You may still receive important transactional emails such as withdrawal confirmations, but no promotional communications will be sent.

Your funds are safe at all times. When you apply for self-exclusion, any remaining balance in your Sportsbet account (after deducting any bonus funds that have not met their rollover requirements) can be withdrawn. Sportsbet will process your withdrawal to your linked payment method, such as Touch 'n Go eWallet or DuitNow, within 24 hours of your request being submitted.

Sportsbet's support team is available 24/7 via live chat or email at support@sportsbet-jit.net. For more serious cases requiring professional support, we encourage you or your loved one to seek help from a mental health professional or registered counsellor in Malaysia. Sportsbet can provide information on suitable local resources when needed – please don't hesitate to reach out.
Guide for Family Members

Is Someone You Care About in Need of Help?

Problem gambling doesn't only affect the individual involved – it also impacts their family and the people around them. If you're worried about the behaviour of someone you care about, there are steps you can take.

Sportsbet allows family members or close friends to raise their concerns with our team. In verified cases, we can help restrict or close the account in question immediately, even without a request from the account holder themselves.

Most importantly, don't leave them to face it alone. A compassionate and understanding approach is far more effective than confrontation or judgement. Remember that problem gambling is a treatable health condition, not a personal failing.
