Control Is in Your Hands

X888 provides a range of tools that you can activate yourself directly from your account, with no waiting period or lengthy process required.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a maximum limit on how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, the system will automatically block any further deposits until the limit period resets. Limits can be lowered at any time, but increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with over a given period. Once your accumulated losses reach the set limit, your account will be temporarily restricted from continuing to play. This helps you stay within budget without getting carried away.

Play Time Limit

Control how much time you spend in a single gaming session. The x888 system will remind you when your session is approaching the limit you have set, and can automatically log you out when time is up to ensure you get adequate rest.

Temporary Break

If you feel you need a break from gaming for a while, the self-exclusion option lets you lock your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a period of your own choosing. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or make any transactions on your account.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a more permanent option compared to a temporary break. You may choose to exclude yourself from the x888 platform for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During this period, x888 will also not send you any marketing or promotional communications.

Promotional Notification Controls

You can choose to disable all promotional notifications, bonuses, and special offers at any time. x888 respects your decision and will not push any marketing communications to users who have opted out.


1 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online gambling purely as a form of entertainment, with full awareness of the risks involved and firm control over the time and money you spend. It is not about stopping altogether, but about playing in a smart, controlled way that does not harm your finances, relationships, or mental health.

In Malaysia, many people enjoy online gaming as a weekend pastime or a way to unwind after work. As long as it remains a casual entertainment activity and does not take priority over daily necessities, it can be enjoyed in a healthy, balanced way.

Always remember: Gaming is for fun, not for income. Never use money set aside for daily necessities, bills, or family obligations to play.

2 x888's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

X888 is more than just a gaming platform — we are a partner who genuinely cares about the well-being of our users. We believe a sustainable and trusted business can only be built when users play in a healthy and happy way. That is why responsible gaming is not just a slogan at x888, but a core part of who we are.

Our commitment covers several key areas:

  • Providing self-control tools that are easily accessible and simple to use for all users.
  • Training our customer support team to identify and assist users who may be experiencing gambling-related issues.
  • Not marketing games to individuals who are at risk or who have disclosed a problem.
  • Strictly enforcing age restrictions — the x888 platform is for users aged 18 and above only.
  • Partnering with local problem gambling support organisations to ensure users receive appropriate assistance.
The dedicated x888 Responsible Gaming team is available via live chat 24/7. We are here to help you set limits, understand self-exclusion options, or simply talk through any concerns you may have.

3 How to Use Self-Control Tools

All x888 self-control tools are accessible directly from your account dashboard. The process is straightforward and requires no approval from us — you have full control over your own settings.

01

Login to Account

Access your x888 account via the website or mobile app. Always use your own personal device.

02

Go to Account Settings

Click the profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.

03

Choose the Right Tool

Select from the available tools — deposit limits, loss limits, time limits, self-exclusion, or a temporary break, based on your needs.

04

Activate and Verify

Set your preferred value or duration and click "Confirm". The limit takes effect immediately and will be enforced automatically by the system.

Limit decreases take effect immediately. Increasing a limit or cancelling a self-exclusion period requires a waiting period to ensure your decision is rational and not impulsive.

4 Early Warning Signs to Watch Out For

One of the biggest challenges with problem gambling is that it can be difficult to recognise in its early stages. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

Often playing longer or spending more than originally planned.

Playing to escape problems, work stress, loneliness, or negative emotions.

Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gaming activities.

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to play.

Hiding gambling activities from family or close friends.

Frequently thinking about gaming while at work, studying, or spending time with family.

Chasing losses by continuing to play after a significant losing streak.

Neglecting work, family, or health responsibilities due to excessive time spent gaming.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to reach out to the x888 support team or seek professional help. Acknowledging a problem is the single bravest first step you can take.

5 Self-Assessment — How Well Are You in Control?

Take a moment to answer these questions honestly with yourself. There are no right or wrong answers — they simply serve as a mirror to help you better understand your gaming habits.

A general indicator of risk level based on your gaming patterns — for self-awareness purposes only:

6 Underage User Protection

X888 enforces the minimum age requirement of 18 years very strictly. All users are required to complete a comprehensive identity verification (KYC) process before being permitted to make deposits or play with real money. This includes submitting valid identification documents such as a MyKad or passport.

If you have children or teenagers at home, we recommend the following steps to prevent them from accessing online gambling platforms:

  • Always log out of your x888 account when not in use, especially on shared devices.
  • Use a strong password and never share it with anyone, including family members.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account for an extra layer of security.
  • Install parental control software on devices used by children at home.
  • Have open conversations with children about the risks of gambling and the importance of age restrictions.
If you suspect that a minor has accessed or registered an account on x888, please contact our support team immediately. We will take swift action to resolve the situation.
