Our Protection Tools

Control Is in Your Hands

Mario88 provides tools that are easily accessible directly from your account, designed specifically to keep your gaming experience within a healthy and comfortable zone.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set your own deposit limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Our system will notify you as you approach your limit and automatically block excess deposits.

Playing Session Time Limit

Control how long you play each session. Once the time limit is reached, the platform will remind you to take a break and enjoy other activities in your daily life.

Maximum Loss Limit

You can set a loss limit to stay in control on unlucky days. This is a protective feature we strongly recommend for all members.

Temporary Self-Break

Need a short break? Activate the Self-Break feature to lock your account for a period of 24 hours to 6 weeks. Your account will be automatically unlocked once the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

For more serious situations, the Self-Exclusion feature allows you to close access to your account for an extended period — from 6 months to permanent — for the sake of your mental health.

Real-Time Alerts

Mario88 sends in-platform and email alerts when your playing patterns change significantly, helping you stay aware before things get out of hand.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means approaching wagering as a form of entertainment — not as a way to generate steady income, relieve stress, or overcome financial difficulties. At mario88, we believe every member deserves an enjoyable gaming experience that does not interfere with their daily life, personal relationships, or financial well-being.

The majority of mario88 users play within healthy limits and enjoy every session without any issues. However, we recognise that for a small number of individuals, gaming can become a habit that is hard to control. That is why we invest in early detection systems, self-control tools, and a dedicated support team ready to help you at any time.

The core principles of mario88 responsible gaming are simple: play only with money you can afford to lose, treat losses as the cost of entertainment, and stop when you are no longer having fun. When the game starts to feel like an obligation or an escape, that is the time to take a step back and talk to someone.

Remember: mario88 is for users of legal age only 18 years and above. We use a strict age verification system during registration and throughout the KYC process to ensure this platform remains inaccessible to minors.

Warning Signs: Know Before It's Too Late

Identifying early signs of a gambling problem is the most important first step. Here are some warning signs to watch out for, whether in yourself or someone you care about:

01

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play in an attempt to recover lost money, even as the situation worsens.

02

Lying to Loved Ones

Hiding gaming activity or the amount of money spent from family members or friends.

03

Playing with Essential Funds

Using money meant for bills, food, or other basic necessities as betting funds.

04

Unable to Stop

Feeling uncomfortable, anxious, or irritable when trying to cut back or stop playing.

05

Neglecting Responsibilities

Work, studies, or personal relationships start to suffer due to excessive time spent playing.

06

Borrowing Money to Play

Borrowing from banks, family members, or friends solely to fund continued play.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to contact the mario88 support team immediately or activate the Self-Exclusion feature through your account settings.

Log in and go to "Account Settings"

Click your profile picture in the top right corner of the mario88 platform, then select "Settings" from the menu that appears.

2

Select the "Responsible Gaming" tab

On the settings page, look for the tab labelled "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control" to view all available tools.

3

Set limits based on your needs

Enter your preferred deposit limit, loss limit, or session time limit. Increases take effect within 24 hours, while reductions take effect immediately.

Review and update regularly

We encourage you to review your limit settings every month and adjust them according to changes in your financial or personal situation.

Your Limits at a Glance

The examples below show the types of limits you can set in your mario88 account:

Advice for Family & Loved Ones

Sometimes, those closest to us are the first to notice when something is wrong. If you are concerned that a family member or friend may be struggling with a gambling problem, here are some approaches that can help:

  • Talk calmly and without judgment — Choose an appropriate time and place, and approach the conversation with empathy. Avoid accusations that may cause them to become defensive.
  • Listen without interrupting — Give them space to express their feelings. Sometimes, simply feeling heard is enough to encourage someone to seek help.
  • Offer practical support — Offering to accompany them to a counsellor or helping them set account limits can make a significant difference.
  • Take care of yourself too — Living with someone who has a gambling problem can be stressful. Make sure you also get the emotional support you need.
  • Contact mario88 — Our support team can assist in reducing a member's account limits upon request and with reasonable proof, to protect the individual concerned.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Yes, all limits — including deposit limits, loss limits, and session time limits — can be set directly through the Account Settings section on the mario88 platform without needing to contact customer support. The process is simple, fast, and takes effect immediately (for limit reductions).

Self-Exclusion can be set for a minimum period of 6 months up to permanent. During an active exclusion period, you will not be able to access your account under any circumstances. For non-permanent exclusions, your account can only be reopened after the period ends and upon completing a review process set by our team.

A Self-Break is a temporary pause lasting between 24 hours and 6 weeks. Your account will be automatically reopened once the period ends. Self-Exclusion, on the other hand, is a more permanent measure — ranging from 6 months to permanent — and will not be automatically reopened. Choose Self-Break if you only need a short pause, and Self-Exclusion if you feel the need to stop for a longer period for the sake of your health.

mario88 uses a strict age verification system during registration and the KYC process. This platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above. If you suspect a child or teenager is using your account, please contact our support team immediately so the account can be locked and investigated accordingly.

Beyond mario88's internal support, you can seek professional help through Talian Kasih 15999 (Malaysia's Department of Social Welfare), which operates 24 hours a day, or visit a certified counsellor at a nearby hospital or health centre. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Your account balance remains safe throughout the Self-Exclusion period. Funds will not be lost or used. You may request a withdrawal of your balance through the mario88 support team even while your account is in exclusion mode, subject to standard identity verification.
