Important Reminder: Online gambling and casino games are for entertainment only. Never bet with money you cannot afford to lose, borrowed money, or funds needed for your family's basic needs. If gambling no longer feels enjoyable, that is a sign to stop and seek help.

1 What Is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means enjoying betting activities — whether that is Malaysia Super League football, EPL, live casino, slots, blackjack, or poker at bonus138 — as a controlled form of entertainment, not as a way to generate income or escape life's problems. When we gamble responsibly, we set limits in advance, we know when to stop, and we do not let gambling interfere with our daily responsibilities.

In Malaysia, as elsewhere in the world, problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of background, income, or experience level. It is not a matter of willpower — it is about how the human brain responds to certain stimuli. That is why bonus138 takes this issue seriously and invests in a range of tools and resources to help our members stay safe.

Responsible gambling at bonus138 means you can fully enjoy our platform while remaining in complete control of the time, money, and emotional energy you put in. We do not offer these tools as a formality — we actively encourage their use, and our support team is specially trained to guide members who need assistance in this area.

Core Principles: Only play with money you have and can afford to lose entirely. Think of what you deposit into bonus138 as the cost of entertainment — much like buying a cinema ticket or dining out — not as an investment you expect a return from.

2 Recognising the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling problems rarely appear overnight. They develop gradually, and many people do not realise they have begun to lose control until things have become serious. Below are the early warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about.

  • You frequently think about gambling even when doing other things — at work, during family meals, or before bed.
  • You find yourself needing to bet larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement as before.
  • You have tried to stop gambling multiple times but have been unable to, even when you were genuinely determined to quit.
  • You become restless, irritable, or uneasy when trying to cut back or stop gambling.
  • You gamble as a way to escape from problems, work stress, family conflicts, or uncomfortable feelings.
  • You are lying to family members or friends about how much time and money you are spending on gambling.
  • You borrow money, sell belongings, or dip into emergency savings to continue betting on bonus138 or other platforms.
  • You are gambling with money that should be going toward bills, rent, food, or your family's needs.
  • After a loss, you feel an intense urge to bet again immediately — "chasing losses" — to win back what you have lost.
  • People close to you have started raising concerns about your gambling habits.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, that is a signal you may need help — or at the very least, should start using the self-control tools provided by bonus138. Identifying a problem early is the most important and most courageous step you can take.

3 Self-Control Tools on the bonus138 Platform

Bonus138 offers five self-control tools that any member can activate for free at any time through their account settings. These tools are designed to give you full control over your playing experience.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum limit on how much you can deposit into your bonus138 account within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. For example, if you set a daily deposit limit of RM100, the bonus138 system will decline any deposit that would exceed that limit — even if you try again moments later. Limits can be lowered immediately, but any request to raise a limit requires a 7-day waiting period to ensure the decision is made with a clear head.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to accept within a given period. Once your cumulative losses reach the limit you have set, bonus138 will block any new bets until that limit period expires. This prevents "chasing losses" — a pattern that can multiply your losses significantly in a short time.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session on bonus138. When your set time is almost up, the system will notify you. Once the time is up, your session will end automatically and you will need to log back in to continue. This feature is especially useful for preventing "time distortion" — where you lose track of how long you have been playing.

Temporary Self-Break

Suspend access to your bonus138 account for a set period — 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. During the break, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or play. Your account balance remains safe. A break is the ideal option when you feel you need a short breather from betting.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need long-term protection, the permanent self-exclusion option allows you to close your bonus138 account for good. Once permanent exclusion is activated, you will not be able to open a new account at bonus138 using the same name, email address, phone number, or payment method. Any remaining balance will be returned to you via your original payment method. This is a decision we fully respect and will never attempt to reverse.

4 How to Activate Self-Control Tools

Activating self-control tools on bonus138 is straightforward and can be done at any time — no waiting period or approval needed. Here are the steps to get started.

1
Log In to Your Bonus138 Account

Use your username and password to log in at bonus138.run. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" function to regain access.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click on your username or profile icon at the top of the bonus138 platform, then select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the menu that appears.

3
Choose Your Preferred Control Tool

Under the "Responsible Gambling" section, you will see all available control tools. Select the tool you wish to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, session time limit, temporary self-exclusion, or permanent self-exclusion.

4
Set a Limit or Duration

Enter your preferred limit amount or time period. For deposit limits, this refers to the maximum MYR amount. For a self-break, select a duration from the provided options.

5
Confirm & Activate

Confirm your selection — for protection tools (deposit limit, break, exclusion), it takes effect immediately. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered email address for your records. If you do not receive the email within 10 minutes, check your spam folder or contact bonus138 support.

If you have any difficulty activating self-control tools on bonus138, contact our support team via 24/7 live chat and we will help you set them up right away — no question is too embarrassing to ask.

5 Safe Play Guide at Bonus138

Alongside the technical self-control tools, there are healthy daily habits you can adopt to ensure your experience on bonus138 stays enjoyable and does not become a problem.

  • Set a budget before you play: Before logging in to bonus138, decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending today. Think of it as the "entry fee" for entertainment. Once your budget is used up, log out.
  • Don't chase your losses: This is the most dangerous trap in gambling. If you have already lost RM50 and your budget is RM100, do not deposit another RM100 hoping to recover all your losses. Each game outcome is independent of the previous one — luck does not "balance itself out".
  • Play when you are alert and clear-headed: Do not play when you are tired, emotionally stressed, in the middle of an argument, or under the influence of alcohol. The worst decisions are made when you are not in a stable state of mind.
  • Take regular breaks: Every 30 to 45 minutes, take a proper break — step away from your seat, drink some water, and move around. This helps you reassess the situation with a clearer head.
  • Make sure bonus138 is not your only source of entertainment: Healthy betting is just one of many leisure activities — not your only one. Make sure you also set aside time for family, friends, sports, books, or any other activities you enjoy.
  • Never borrow money to gamble: This includes credit cards, personal loans, or borrowing from family and friends. Gambling with borrowed money is a serious warning sign and will only make your financial situation worse.
  • Understand that the house always has the edge: All games at bonus138 and any other platform are designed so that the house maintains a long-term profit margin. You may win today, but over time, the statistics do not favour the player. Play for entertainment, not in the hope of consistent winnings.

6 Child & Young User Protection

The minimum age to use bonus138 is 18 years old. We enforce this policy strictly through identity verification procedures during registration and periodic checks. Any account suspected of belonging to an underage individual will be suspended immediately while an investigation is carried out.

If you are a parent or guardian concerned that a child or young family member may be able to access online betting platforms, here are some steps you can take to protect them.

  • Use parental control software on all shared devices to block access to gambling websites.
  • Do not store your login credentials or financial information anywhere that children or teenagers can easily access.
  • If you discover that someone under the age of 18 has registered for or used the bonus138 platform, please contact us immediately at support@bonus138.run. We will take prompt action.
  • Have open conversations with your teenagers about the risks and dangers of online gambling — awareness is the best protection.

7 Get Help Now

If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, seeking help is a wise and courageous step — not a sign of weakness. The sooner help is sought, the easier it is to address the issue before it causes further damage to your finances, relationships, and mental health.

If you need immediate help or want to talk to someone about any concerns related to your gambling, contact the specially trained bonus138 support team via 24/7 live chat. We will help you activate the appropriate protection tools and, if needed, refer you to suitable professional support resources in Malaysia.

You can also take some practical steps today — activate a temporary self-break from your bonus138 account settings, lower your deposit limit to a safer amount, and talk to someone you trust about what you are going through. Sometimes simply opening up to a trusted person can already offer a clearer perspective.

Frequently Asked Questions — Responsible Gambling Bonus138

The most frequently asked questions from members about self-control tools and safe play at bonus138

No, activating any self-control tool on bonus138 will not affect your account balance. Any funds in your account remain safe throughout the duration of an activated limit or break. During a temporary self-exclusion, you can still contact bonus138 customer support for account-related enquiries even though you cannot log in to play. For permanent self-exclusion only, your remaining balance will be returned to you via your original payment method — such as DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, or FPX — within 3 business days.

It depends on the type of tool. For deposit limits — you can lower your limit immediately at any time, but increasing or cancelling a limit requires a 7-day waiting period. This is an intentional safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions made in an emotional state. For a temporary self-exclusion, the break period cannot be shortened once activated — it will end automatically on the date you set. For permanent self-exclusion, this is a final decision that cannot be reversed on bonus138.

The key warning signs are when gambling starts affecting your finances, relationships, work, or mental wellbeing. Specifically — if you find yourself lying about how much you are betting, if you are using money meant for essentials to gamble at bonus138 or other platforms, if you cannot stop even when you intend to, or if people close to you have begun to worry about your gambling habits. Use the self-check at the top of this page as a guide. If you are unsure, contact bonus138 support and we can help you assess the situation more objectively.

The easiest first step is to reach out to the bonus138 support team via 24/7 live chat within the platform, or by email at support@bonus138.run. Our team is trained to listen without judgement and to help you take that first step — whether that means activating self-control tools, talking through your concerns, or finding out about the professional support resources available in Malaysia. All conversations are confidential and will not affect your account status. Most importantly, do not keep these worries to yourself — many people have faced similar situations and have successfully regained control of their lives.

There are several practical steps you can take. First, make sure your bonus138 account password is stored securely and is not easy to guess. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) from your account settings for an added layer of security — this means logging in will require a code sent to your phone number. Second, use parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling websites. Third, if you are concerned about a family member who may have a gambling problem, speak with them openly and encourage them to contact bonus138 support or seek professional help. bonus138 also accepts "third-party" requests, where concerned family members can reach out to us for guidance on how to support their loved ones.
