If you or a loved one needs help with a gambling problem, contact the on88 support team via 24/7 live chat within the platform.

A message from on88: Our platform is designed for entertainment. We believe the joy of playing only has meaning when it does not interfere with your daily life, family relationships, or financial stability. Use the control tools we provide and do not hesitate to seek help whenever needed.

1on88's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

On88 is more than just an entertainment platform — we are a partner that genuinely cares about the well-being of every member. Since the start of our operations, responsible gaming has been at the core of how we design the platform, manage promotions, and engage with members.

We understand that for the majority of members, playing at on88 is a relaxing and enjoyable activity after a long day at work. However, we also recognise that for some individuals, gaming can become something difficult to control. That is why we invest in a comprehensive self-exclusion infrastructure to ensure every member has access to the tools they need.

On88's responsible gaming policy covers several key dimensions: personal control through self-set limits, detection of risky behaviour through internal monitoring systems, professional support through partnerships with assistance agencies, and full protection for underage users. All of this is not merely a compliance requirement — it is a core value of on88.

The on88 platform is open only to users aged 18 and above. We apply a rigorous KYC (Know Your Customer) process at registration to verify the age eligibility of every new member. This is not merely a bureaucratic procedure — it is a protective measure we take seriously.

2Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Understanding the foundations of healthy gaming is the first step to keeping your experience positive. Below are the principles we encourage all on88 members to follow:

Play for Entertainment, Not for Income

Online gaming is a form of entertainment, just like watching a movie or attending a concert. The money you use to play should be viewed as an entertainment cost, not an investment or source of income. Never use savings, bill money, or borrowed funds to play.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Before starting a gaming session, decide in advance how much you are willing and able to lose. Stick to that limit even when things appear promising. Self-discipline in this regard is the mark of a mature and responsible player.

Don't Chase Losses

One of the most dangerous gaming habits is "chasing losses" — continuing to play in hopes of recovering money already lost. This is a psychological trap that can lead to even greater losses. If you have reached your loss limit, stop and try again another time.

Don't Play When Emotional

Avoid playing when you feel stressed, angry, sad, or emotionally unstable. Decisions made in an emotional state are often irrational and can lead to unhealthy gaming habits.

  • Take adequate breaks between gaming sessions
  • Don't use gaming as a way to escape from problems
  • Make sure gaming activity does not interfere with your sleep, work, or social relationships
  • Share your gaming activity with someone you trust

3Recognising Early Warning Signs

Recognising the early signs of a gambling problem is essential. The sooner you notice changes in your gaming behaviour, the easier it is to take corrective action. Honestly assess yourself against the following list:

High-Risk Signs

Borrowing money to play — Using borrowed money, credit cards, or funds from family and friends to finance gaming activity.

Hiding gaming activity — Lying to family or friends about how much time or money has been spent on gaming.

Unable to stop even when you want to — Having tried repeatedly to cut back or stop playing but without success.

Neglecting primary responsibilities — Work, studies, family, or health beginning to suffer due to excessive time spent on gaming.

Signs to Monitor

Feeling restless when not playing — Thoughts frequently drifting to gaming even while engaged in other activities.

Exceeding self-set limits — Regularly exceeding the time or money limits you set before playing.

Needing bigger bets to feel the excitement — The same amount of wagering no longer delivers the same level of excitement as before.

If you identify yourself in any of the signs above, do not panic. This is an important first step — recognising that there is a problem. Contact the on88 support team via live chat for further guidance.

4on88 Self-Exclusion Tools

On88 provides a range of self-control tools that you can access at any time through your account settings. These tools are designed to help you stay in full control of your gaming experience.

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to ensure you do not exceed your set budget. Limits can be reduced immediately, but increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period as an added safeguard.

Session Time Limit

Set how long you wish to play in a single session. Once the time limit is reached, the on88 system will provide a reminder and the option to end the session or schedule a break.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you can absorb within a given period. Once this limit is reached, the system will block any further wagering until the limit period expires.

Temporary Break (Cool-Off)

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or make any deposits. This is a useful tool when you feel you need to give yourself some space.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, use the self-exclusion option to block access to your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. These requests cannot be reversed during the selected period.

Activity History Review

Review the full history of your gaming sessions, deposits, and withdrawals at any time. This transparency helps you understand your playing patterns and make more informed decisions.
