Responsible Gambling
at fortune88
fortune88 believes that online entertainment should remain fun, controlled and sustainable. This page sets out the tools, resources and guidance we provide to every Malaysian player who chooses to gamble on our platform.
Gambling should be entertainment, never a burden
fortune88 is an online entertainment platform serving Malaysian users across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and beyond. We cover sports betting markets including the English Premier League and Liga Super Malaysia, as well as casino-style games and live dealer content.
While we want players to enjoy everything fortune88 has to offer, we are equally committed to making sure that gambling remains a leisure activity that fits comfortably within a person's lifestyle and budget. We recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can develop into a problem — and we take that seriously.
The tools and guidance on this page are available to every registered fortune88 account holder, free of charge and effective immediately upon request. We encourage all players to use them proactively, not just when things get difficult.
Strict age policy: fortune88 strictly prohibits access by anyone under 21 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor is accessing fortune88, please contact our support team immediately.
Play smart. Stay in control.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose without financial stress.
- Set a strict budget before every session and stick to it regardless of results.
- Treat gambling as paid entertainment — not a way to earn money or recover losses.
- Keep gambling sessions short and take regular breaks away from the screen.
- Never gamble when you are feeling anxious, depressed or under the influence of alcohol.
- Balance gambling time with other hobbies, family commitments and social activities.
- Talk openly with people you trust if gambling starts to feel out of control.
- Use fortune88's limit tools before you feel you need them — not after.
Built-in controls available to every fortune88 player
These features are available inside every fortune88 account and can be activated at any time through the account settings panel or by contacting support directly.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on the total MYR amount you can deposit into your fortune88 account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Increasing a limit takes 24 hours to apply; reducing it takes effect immediately.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount of RM you are comfortable losing in any given day, week or month. When your net loss reaches that threshold, fortune88 will suspend further real-money play until the limit period refreshes. This keeps losses firmly within your pre-agreed comfort zone.
Session Time Limits
Choose a maximum continuous session duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or a custom value. When the limit expires, fortune88 will display a reminder and offer the option to end the session. Keeping sessions short helps prevent the fatigue that often leads to poor gambling decisions.
Cooling-Off Period
If you need a short break without permanently closing your account, a cooling-off period of 1 to 30 days can be applied. During this time, login is disabled and deposits and bets cannot be placed. When the period ends, normal access is automatically restored — no action is required from you.
Self-Exclusion
Players who need a longer or more definitive break may request self-exclusion for 30 days, 90 days, 180 days or permanently. The account is suspended immediately, and no marketing or promotional communications will be sent. Reinstatement of a permanent self-exclusion requires a formal review and a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off window.
Marketing Opt-Out
Fortune88 players can opt out of bonus offers, promotional emails and campaign notifications at any time. Removing marketing communications reduces the frequency of external triggers that might encourage gambling beyond your intended limits. This setting takes effect immediately.
When gambling stops being fun
Problem gambling rarely appears overnight. It tends to develop gradually, and many players are initially unaware that their behaviour has changed. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward regaining control.
The indicators listed here are not a clinical diagnosis — they are honest signals worth reflecting on. If several apply to you or someone you know, we encourage you to use fortune88's self-exclusion tools and reach out to one of the support services below.
Honest self-reflection matters. A single "yes" is not cause for alarm, but a pattern of "yes" answers suggests that setting firmer limits or seeking external support would be a positive step.
Spending more money than originally planned, or increasing bet sizes to chase an earlier loss.
Gambling with money intended for rent, groceries, utility bills or other essential expenses.
Feeling restless, irritable or anxious when unable to gamble, or when trying to reduce activity.
Lying to family or friends about how much time or money is being spent on gambling.
Borrowing money, selling possessions or taking loans to fund gambling activity.
Neglecting work, family responsibilities, sleep or personal wellbeing in favour of gambling.
Repeatedly attempting to quit or reduce gambling but finding it difficult to follow through.
Relying on gambling as a way to escape stress, emotional pain or difficult life circumstances.
Honest questions worth asking yourself
Read each question below and answer honestly. This is not a formal assessment — it is a personal reflection tool designed to help you gauge your current relationship with gambling.
- 1Have you ever spent more on gambling in a single session than you originally intended?
- 2Have you gambled to recover losses from a previous session — sometimes called "chasing"?
- 3Has gambling ever caused conflict with your partner, family members or close friends?
- 4Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you should be focused on other things?
- 5Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling and found it harder than expected?
- 6Have you ever used credit, loans or money borrowed from others to gamble?
- 7Has gambling ever affected your ability to meet regular financial commitments?
- 8Do you feel the need to keep gambling activity secret from people around you?
If you answered "yes" to two or more questions, we strongly encourage you to activate a deposit limit or cooling-off period on your fortune88 account today, and consider reaching out to one of the support organisations listed below.
