885 Responsible Gaming
At 885, healthy entertainment starts with self-awareness. This page provides guides, control tools, and support resources to help you and your family enjoy the platform in a balanced and responsible way.
Gaming should be entertainment, not stress. Take care of yourself.
885's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 885, we believe online gaming should be a source of fun and entertainment — not stress or financial strain. As a responsible entertainment platform for Malaysian users, we are committed to providing a safe, transparent environment that supports the well-being of our players.
We take our responsibility to protect users who may be at risk of problem gambling seriously. 885 provides a range of self-control tools, informational resources, and support channels that are easily accessible to all registered users.

Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour
Recognising early warning signs is the first step to addressing problem gambling. Here are some signals to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:
- Feeling restless or irritable when not playing.
- Gaming to escape problems or the pressures of everyday life.
- Lying to family or friends about your gambling habits.
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming.
- Feeling regret after playing but continuing to do it anyway.
- Borrowing money to play or to pay off gambling debts.
- Feeling the need to bet more and more to get the same level of excitement.
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money that has already been lost.
- Using savings, bill money, or funds for basic necessities to play.
- Experiencing serious financial difficulties as a result of gambling.
If you recognise two or more of the signs above, we encourage you to speak with someone you trust or seek professional help.
Setting Healthy Time Limits and Budgets
One of the most effective ways to maintain healthy gaming habits is to set clear limits before starting a session. 885 encourages all users to practise the following:
- Decide on a maximum play session before you start — for example, no more than one to two hours per day.
- Use a timer or alarm on your phone to let you know when your session is up.
- Take at least a 15-minute break for every hour of play and avoid letting sessions run on automatically.
- Set a fixed amount in MYR that you are comfortable losing without affecting your day-to-day needs.
- Never play with money that is meant for bills, food, loans, or savings.
- Once you reach your budget limit, end the session — even if you are on a winning streak.
Self-Control Tools on 885
885 offers several self-control tools accessible through your account settings. These features are designed to help you manage your gaming habits proactively:
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount in MYR. Once the limit is reached, the system will block further deposits until the limit period resets.
Choose to take a break from the platform for a set period — from 24 hours to several weeks. During the break, you will not be able to log in or make any transactions.
If you feel you need a longer break, you can contact the 885 support team to request a self-exclusion. Your account will be locked for the specified period.
To access or activate any of these self-control tools, please log in to your account or contact the 885 support team. If you have questions about how to use them, refer to FAQ section us.
Minor Protection
885 has a clear and firm policy: our platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. We take the protection of children and teenagers seriously and have the following measures in place:
- All users are required to verify their age during registration. Users who provide false information regarding their age will have their accounts closed immediately.
- We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on devices shared with children and teenagers.
- Anyone who suspects that a person under 18 is using the 885 platform can report it to our support team for immediate action.
- Never share your account login details with anyone, including younger family members.
If you have children at home, make sure that devices used to access 885 are protected by a password they do not know. Have an open conversation with your children about the risks of online gaming that is not suitable for their age.
Life Balance & Seeking Professional Help
Healthy gaming means it is just one small part of a balanced life — not your main priority. 885 encourages all users to maintain a healthy balance between online entertainment and real life, including family, work, health, and social relationships.
If you or someone you know is struggling to control their gaming habits, do not hesitate to seek help. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Here are some steps you can take:
Talk to a trusted family member or friend about your concerns. Social support from those closest to you is one of the most effective factors in the recovery process.
Professional counsellors and psychologists in Malaysia are trained to help individuals dealing with problem gambling. Local mental health organisations can provide the right referrals.
The Malaysia Ministry of Health and local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) offer counselling services and helplines for addiction-related issues. Reach out to them in confidence for guidance.
The 885 support team is ready to help you activate deposit limits, a temporary break, or self-exclusion at any time. Reach us at [email protected].
Remember: gaming is meant to be enjoyable. If it starts causing stress or worry, it is time to pause and seek support. 885 is always here to ensure a positive and responsible gaming experience.
