Six Tools for Take Care of Yourself

198kis provides a range of control tools that you can activate directly from your account settings, without needing to contact support.

💰
Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, the system automatically blocks additional deposits until the next period begins. Limits can be lowered immediately but require a waiting period to be raised again.

⏱️
Play Session Time Limit

Set your maximum session duration — for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours per day. Once the limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and prompted to take a break. This feature is especially useful for preventing extended play without realising it.

📉
Maximum Loss Limit

Set a daily or weekly loss limit. Once that loss amount is reached, the system will block further play for the relevant period. This helps you manage your budget more effectively and avoid emotionally driven decisions.

😴
Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate cool-off mode for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this period, you cannot log in or play. Your account balance remains safe and accessible once the cool-off period ends.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

The self-exclusion option lets you close access to your account for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Unlike a cool-off, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the set period ends — it is designed for serious protection.

🔔
Real-Time Reminders

Enable notifications in your account to receive alerts when you are approaching a set limit, when a gaming session reaches a certain duration, or when your play patterns change significantly. Timely information helps you make smarter decisions.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means participating in gambling activities as a form of controlled entertainment, not as a means of earning income or escaping everyday problems. At 198kis, we believe every player deserves to enjoy our platform in a safe and healthy way.

Gambling can be genuinely fun — the excitement of waiting for results, the thrill of a win, and the lively atmosphere of Live Casino. But when gambling starts taking over your life, it is no longer entertainment. That is why 198kis invests in a comprehensive responsible gaming infrastructure to ensure that balance is always maintained.

Remember: Wins are never guaranteed in chance-based games. Play only with money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.

Why Does Responsible Gaming Matter?

Statistics show that the majority of players can enjoy gambling without any issues. However, a small number of individuals may struggle to control their gambling habits — and the consequences can extend to their finances, relationships, and mental health.

As a trusted platform in Malaysia, 198kis is not only legally responsible, but also ethically so. We understand that the well-being of our players reflects the true values of a trustworthy platform. A platform that pursues profit without regard for its users is not one worthy of trust.

By providing easy-to-use control tools, clear information, and effective support channels, we hope to distinguish 198kis as the first choice for Malaysian players who prioritize safety alongside enjoyment.

Warning Signs You Should Know

Recognising the early signs of a gambling problem is the most important first step. Here are the warning signals to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

Chasing losses: You keep gambling purely to "win back" money you have lost, and the cycle repeats.

Gambling with essential funds: You use rent, bill, or daily necessity money to gamble because you feel you have "no other choice".

Feeling unable to stop: You intend to stop or reduce gambling but find yourself unable to do so.

Lying about gambling: You hide your gambling activity from family members or friends out of shame or fear of criticism.

Gambling as an escape: You gamble to forget stress, anxiety, or daily problems and only feel relief while playing.

Still in control: You play within a set budget, can stop at any time, and gambling does not affect your daily responsibilities.

If you recognise yourself in the red or yellow warning signs above, please use the self-exclusion tool in your 198kis account and seek help from a professional. You do not have to face this alone.

Healthy Play Guide at 198kis

Below are the best practices we recommend to all players 198kis to ensure your gaming experience remains enjoyable and in control:

  • Set a budget limit before playing and stick to it without exception.
  • Treat money spent on gambling as an entertainment cost, not an investment.
  • Never play when you are feeling stressed, sad, or angry.
  • Take regular breaks — stand up, stretch, and step away from the screen.
  • Never borrow money to gamble under any circumstances.
  • Balance gambling with other offline activities you enjoy.
  • Understand how each game works — every game has a specific Return to Player (RTP) rate.
  • Use the deposit limit and session time tools available in your account settings.

Smart gambling does not mean never losing — it means you always maintain control over your gaming experience and do not let game outcomes dictate your emotions or financial decisions in real life.

Minor Protection

198kis enforces a zero-tolerance policy on access by individuals under 18 years of age. Our integrated KYC process ensures age verification is completed before any account is fully activated.

  • Mandatory age verification at registration using a valid government-issued ID.
  • Additional checks are carried out periodically on accounts showing suspicious activity.
  • Accounts suspected of being used by minors will be suspended immediately pending investigation.

To parents and guardians: Please ensure that any device containing a gambling account is kept out of reach of children or teenagers. Use parental control software and store your account password in a secure location.

Where Can I Get Help?

If you or someone you know needs help with a gambling problem, 198kis encourages you to seek professional support without delay. Asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.

24/7 Support Team 198kis can be reached via live chat within the platform to help you activate self-exclusion tools or answer any questions related to responsible gaming. We can also refer you to professional organizations that provide free counselling in Malaysia.

  • Contact the 198kis support team via live chat for immediate account-related assistance.
  • Activate self-exclusion directly from your account settings menu.
  • Seek professional counselling from a nearby Psychiatric Clinic or Government Hospital.
  • Talian Kasih 15999 – Malaysian Government counselling and social assistance service.

198kis will never contact you to cancel your self-exclusion. Any message or call claiming to be from 198kis and asking you to reopen an excluded account is a scam. Please report it to us immediately.

Q&A Responsible Gaming

Log in to your 198kis account and go to Account Settings then select the Responsible Gaming. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Limits you set take effect immediately. To lower a limit, the change is applied instantly; to raise one, a 24-hour waiting period applies as an added safeguard.

No. Self-exclusion is designed as a serious commitment and cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is an intentional protection feature — to ensure you get the break you truly need. Your account balance remains safe and can be processed for withdrawal during the exclusion period by contacting our support team.

Cool-off is designed for short periods (24 hours to 1 month) and your account will be automatically reopened once the period ends. It is suitable for a brief break. Self- Exclusion is intended for longer periods (6 months to permanent) and cannot be cancelled early. It is suitable for individuals who need serious protection and are committed to stopping gambling temporarily or permanently.

No. When you activate a cool-off or self-exclusion, our system automatically blocks all marketing communications, including promotional emails, bonus offers, and game notifications. You will only receive essential communications related to account security or identity verification when required. This is part of the commitment of 198kis towards responsible gaming.

You can contact the support team 198kis via live chat and share your concerns. All reports are handled with strict confidentiality. Our team will review the account activity in question and take appropriate action in accordance with our responsible gaming policy. If it involves a member of your own family, we encourage you to have an open conversation with them and suggest they seek professional help.
