Our Commitment

How live88 Promotes Safe Play

live88's commitment to responsible gambling is not a legal checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. Every tool below is freely available to every registered player, at no cost, from within your Account Settings.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your live88 account. Once you set a limit, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours — giving you genuine protection against impulse decisions.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set period. When your losses reach the limit, play is automatically paused until the period resets. You remain in control of your budget at all times.

Session Time Limits

Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. live88 will display a reminder when your session reaches the time you set. This helps prevent the kind of extended play that can blur your judgement.

Reality Checks

Receive on-screen notifications at regular intervals during play, showing how long you have been playing and your current net win or loss position. A simple, friction-free way to stay grounded during a session.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from the Platform — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During the cooling-off period, your account remains open but deposits and play are blocked. A good option when you feel you need a short pause.

Self-Exclusion

Request a complete exclusion from the live88 platform for a minimum of six months, up to a permanent lifetime exclusion. Self-exclusion is irreversible for its duration. Contact our support team at support@live88.cam to activate this immediately.

Step-by-Step

Setting Your Limits on live88

All responsible gambling tools are built directly into your live88 account. You do not need to contact support to set deposit limits, loss limits, or session reminders — you can apply them yourself in under two minutes.

Limit decreases take effect immediately. Limit increases are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off delay — a deliberate design to protect you from impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment.

Know the Difference

Healthy Gambling vs. Problem Gambling

Most people who gamble on live88 do so for entertainment within their means. Understanding where the line is can help you stay on the right side of it.

Healthy Gambling Signs of Problem Gambling
You play with money you can afford to lose You gamble with money meant for bills, rent, or essential expenses
You stop when you hit your pre-set limit You keep playing to try to win back losses ("chasing losses")
Gambling is one leisure activity among many Gambling occupies most of your free time and thoughts
You can take a break or stop whenever you choose You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling
You are open with family about your gambling activity You hide your gambling from family and friends
Losing does not significantly affect your mood or relationships Losses cause arguments, depression, or feelings of hopelessness
You do not borrow money to gamble You borrow money, sell possessions, or take loans to fund gambling
If you recognise three or more items in the right-hand column as applying to you, it may be time to use live88's self-exclusion tool or reach out for professional support. There is no shame in seeking help early — it is a sign of good judgement, not weakness.
Early Warning Signs

Recognising When Gambling Becomes a Problem

Problem gambling rarely appears overnight. It tends to develop gradually, through a series of small warning signs that are easy to dismiss at first. Knowing what to look for — in yourself or in someone you care about — is the first step toward addressing it.

The signs listed here are not a diagnosis. But if you find yourself nodding along to several of them, we strongly encourage you to use live88's built-in responsible gambling tools or contact one of the support organisations listed further down this page.

  • Spending more time or money on gambling than you originally planned, regularly and consistently.
  • Feeling the urge to increase the size of your bets to get the same level of excitement as before.
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or problems in other areas of your life.
  • Lying to family, friends, or colleagues about how much you gamble or how much you have lost.
  • Chasing losses — returning to try to win back money lost in previous sessions rather than playing for entertainment.
  • Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gambling.
  • Borrowing money, using credit, or selling personal belongings to fund gambling activity.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble, or after losing a large amount.
Self-Assessment

Ask Yourself These Questions

This short self-assessment is not a clinical tool, but it can help you reflect on your relationship with gambling. Answer honestly — these questions are for your benefit only.

01
Have you ever gambled with money that was set aside for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential living expenses?
02
After losing money gambling, have you felt a strong urge to return and win it back as quickly as possible?
03
Have you ever missed work, study, or family commitments — even important ones — because of gambling?
04
Has someone close to you — a partner, parent, friend, or colleague — expressed concern about your gambling?
05
Have you ever felt the need to gamble more, or with larger amounts, to feel the same level of excitement?
06
Have you borrowed money, used a credit card, or asked someone for money specifically to fund gambling?
07
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session, reliving past wins, or calculating how to recover losses?
08
Have you ever tried to stop or cut down your gambling, but found it difficult or impossible to follow through?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to use live88's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools immediately, and to consider reaching out to a professional support service. You do not need to be in crisis for help to be appropriate.

Age Policy

Strict 21+ Age Requirement

21+
Age Requirement

Only persons aged 21 years or above may register and use the live88 platform. This is a firm, non-negotiable requirement applied to every account.

Identity Verification

All accounts are subject to KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. live88 may request a MyKad, passport, or other government-issued ID at any time to confirm age and identity.

Underage Accounts

Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended. All deposits are returned and all winnings are forfeited. The matter may be referred to relevant authorities.

Protecting Young People

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend locking access to the live88 platform when not in use. Contact us if you need guidance on device-level parental controls.

Platform Policy

What We Will Never Do

Beyond the tools we offer players, live88 operates under a set of internal policies designed to prevent harm from the platform side. These are commitments we hold ourselves to, not just rules we ask players to follow.

No Predatory Marketing

live88 does not target players who have set deposit limits, activated cooling-off periods, or self-excluded with bonus offers or promotional messages designed to entice them back.

No Barriers to Self-Exclusion

We will never make self-exclusion difficult, slow, or confusing. Any player who requests self-exclusion has that request acted on immediately — no waiting periods, no persuasion attempts.

No Pressure to Continue Playing

live88 support agents are trained to assist — not to retain. If a player contacts us saying they want to stop gambling, we help them do that. No persuasion, no retention tactics, no exceptions.
