me88 wants gambling to stay a form of entertainment — never a way to make money, and never a source of harm. This page explains how to keep control, how to recognise when play is becoming a problem, and where to get free, confidential help in Malaysia.
Play safe: the basics
- Set a budget before you play and treat it as the cost of entertainment.
- Never chase losses — betting more to win back money is the most common trap.
- Don’t gamble when stressed, upset or under the influence.
- Take regular breaks and keep gambling a small part of your life.
Signs it may be a problem
Consider seeking support if you: spend more time or money than intended; borrow money or sell things to gamble; hide your gambling from family; feel anxious, guilty or irritable about it; or gamble to escape problems. Answering “yes” to several of these is a sign to pause and reach out.
Deposit & loss limits
Limits are the simplest control. You can cap how much you deposit over a chosen period: sign in, open account settings or contact 24/7 support to set a daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit. Set a limit before you need it.
Cooling-off & self-exclusion
If you need a break, contact 24/7 support to request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. During this period your account access is suspended so you can step back with no pressure.
