Core principles

  • 18+ only. Underage registration is prohibited.
  • Treat gambling as an entertainment cost, like a cinema ticket — not a way to earn money.
  • Use spare money only, never rent, bills, savings or borrowed money.
  • Don't gamble when stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Keep a balance with family, work, rest and other hobbies.

Set limits before you play

Limit typeExampleHow to do it
Deposit limitMaximum RM300 a monthNote it on your phone; ask customer support to help cap your account
Session loss limitStop after losing RM50Transfer only RM50 into the game wallet for that session
Time limit45 minutes per sessionUse an alarm or your phone's screen-time feature
Win limitWithdraw half the profit when the balance is up 50%Request a withdrawal as soon as you hit the target
Rest daysNo gambling on work daysRemove the app shortcut on those days

Warning signs of problem gambling

If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, it's time to pause and get support:

  • Gambling for longer or with more money than planned.
  • Chasing losses by raising stakes or making extra deposits.
  • Borrowing money, selling belongings or delaying bills to gamble.
  • Hiding how much you gamble from family.
  • Feeling restless, irritable or low when trying to stop.
  • Neglecting work, studies or family responsibilities.
  • Gambling to escape problems or stress.

A quick self-check

Answer honestly for the past 12 months:

  1. Have you gambled with money meant for essentials?
  2. Have you gone back another day to win back money you lost?
  3. Has someone close to you expressed concern about your gambling?
  4. Have you felt guilty about the way you gamble or how much?
  5. Have you borrowed money to gamble?

If you answered "yes" to one or more questions, consider cutting back and talking to someone you trust or a professional counsellor.

Self-control tools

  1. Cooling-off — ask customer support to suspend your account for a set period, such as 7 or 30 days.
  2. Self-exclusion — ask for your account to be closed for a long period. During this time it cannot be reopened.
  3. Blocking software — apps such as Gamban or BetBlocker (free) block access to gambling sites on your devices.
  4. Financial controls — some banks let you block transactions to gambling merchants.

Contact WSKING9 customer support through live chat or WhatsApp to request limits or self-exclusion.
