1 qq188's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Qq188 believes that the best entertainment is safe entertainment. Since the platform launched, responsible gaming has never been just a slogan — it is embedded in every decision we make, from platform design to the training of our customer support team.

We understand that for most members, playing at qq188 is a way to unwind, have fun, and enjoy the thrill of gaming after a long day. That is a great thing. But we also recognise that for some, gaming can become more than just entertainment — and when that happens, we want to be the first platform to help.

Qq188's Responsible Gaming Policy is built on three core pillars: prevention through easy-to-use control tools, early detection through a responsive monitoring system, and ongoing support through a trained team and support resources that are readily accessible to all members in Malaysia.

qq188 only allows individuals aged 18 and above to register and play. Age verification is a mandatory part of our KYC process.

2 Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling occurs when gaming activity begins to interfere with a person's daily life — their finances, relationships, work, or mental health. It is not a matter of weak willpower or lack of self-control. It is a health issue that can affect anyone, regardless of background or economic status.

There is a big difference between playing for fun and playing that has become a problem. Healthy play means you play with money you can afford to lose, within a set time, and you can stop at any time without feeling pressured. Problem gambling occurs when the urge to play starts to control you — not the other way around.

Qq188 takes a proactive approach to this issue. Our system actively monitors gaming patterns that may indicate a problem, and our team is trained to identify and reach out to members who may need assistance.

3 Early Warning Signs

Recognise these signs early so you or someone you care about can get help before the problem becomes more serious:

  • Spending more money than planned each time you play.
  • Playing to "chase" losses — trying to recover money that has already been lost.
  • Lying to family or friends about the time and money spent on playing.
  • Neglecting work, family, or study responsibilities due to gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund your gaming.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to play.
  • Playing as a way to escape problems or the pressures of life.
  • Feeling regret or shame after playing but continuing to do so regardless.

If you identify yourself in one or more of the signs above, do not ignore that feeling. The most important first step is to acknowledge that help may be needed.

4 qq188 Self-Control Tools

Qq188 provides a full suite of self-control tools that you can access directly from your account settings. All tools are free, easy to activate, and take effect immediately once you confirm your selection.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a given time period. This limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased within a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum amount you can lose per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, you will not be able to continue playing until the limit period resets.

Session Time Limit

Limit how long you can play in a single session. The platform will remind you when your session time is nearly up and will automatically log you out when the limit is reached.

Cooling-Off Break

Take a break from 24 hours to 30 days. During this period, your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications.

Self-Exclusion

Block your account permanently or for a long-term period (6 months, 1 year, 5 years). This is the strongest option for those who need a more serious break.

Deactivate Promotions

Opt out of receiving any promotional emails, bonus offers, or notifications that may encourage you to play more than you planned.

To access any of the tools above, log in to your account and go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. Our 24/7 support team is also ready to help you activate any limits via live chat.

5 Deposit Limits & Loss Limits – How to Use Them

Deposit limits and loss limits are among the most effective tools for keeping your finances in check. Here is a step-by-step guide to using them effectively:

1
Set your monthly entertainment budget

Before setting any limits, take a moment to calculate how much disposable money you are comfortable using for entertainment each month — money you can truly afford to lose without affecting your daily needs.

2
Log in and access limit settings

Go to Settings → Responsible Gaming → Financial Limits. You will see options to set deposit and loss limits across various time periods.

3
Set realistic limits

Enter the amount you have decided on. We recommend starting with a strict daily limit, then adjusting as you see fit. Limits can be lowered immediately, but raising them requires a waiting period to protect you.

4
Confirm and save your settings

Once saved, limits take effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email and an in-app notification. Keep a record of these limits for your own reference.

Limits cannot be increased within a 24-hour cooling-off period following the last change. This is a safety measure to ensure your decision is a considered one, not an impulsive one.

6 Cooling-Off Break – When and How to Use It

A cooling-off break is an option to temporarily restrict access to your account when you feel you need a break from gaming. It differs from self-exclusion in that it is temporary, and your account will be restored automatically once the break period ends.

Qq188 offers the following self-exclusion periods: 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 30 days. During this period:

  • You will not be able to log in to your qq188 account.
  • All promotional notifications will be stopped immediately.
  • The funds in your account remain safe and can be withdrawn after the break period ends.
  • The break period cannot be shortened once activated — this is for your protection.

A cooling-off break can be activated through your account settings or by contacting customer support via live chat. If you request a break through support, we will process the request within 24 hours.

7 Self-Exclusion – A Long-Term Commitment

Self-exclusion is a stronger measure than a cooling-off break. It is suitable for those who feel they need a longer and more serious pause from online gaming activity.

When you choose self-exclusion at qq188:

  • Your account will be blocked for the selected period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years.
  • All marketing communications will be stopped completely.
  • You will not be able to open a new account at qq188 during an active exclusion period.
  • Self-exclusion cannot be cancelled within the designated period — this is to ensure your commitment is honoured.
  • Your remaining balance can be claimed through our dedicated withdrawal process.

Self-exclusion is a serious decision that cannot be reversed. We encourage you to speak with our support team before taking this step so you are fully informed about the process.

8 Self-Assessment – Check Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we recommend speaking with someone who can help.

1Have you ever played longer or spent more money than you originally planned?

2Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by playing more?

3Have you ever hidden your gaming activity from family members or friends?

4Have you ever used money meant for other needs — such as bills, rent, or food — to fund your gaming?

5Do you feel anxious or uneasy when you try to stop or cut back on playing?

6Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?

7Do thoughts about playing interfere with your focus at work, school, or when spending time with family?

There are no wrong answers in this assessment. It is simply a guide to help you reflect on your relationship with gaming activity. If you have concerns, reach out to our team — we are here to listen, not to judge.

  • Do not share your password: Ensure your qq188 account password is not known to any children in your household.
  • Use parental control software: If you share a device with children, enable parental control software that restricts access to gambling sites.

  • Report an underage account: If you suspect someone underage is using our platform, report it to us via live chat immediately.

For individuals considered vulnerable due to mental health issues, serious financial difficulties, or other pressures — we encourage those close to them to contact our team if they have concerns. qq188 will take appropriate action to protect the wellbeing of our members.
