At g118, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We want every player on our platform to enjoy their gaming experience as a form of entertainment, with full control over their time and spending. This page sets out everything you need to know about g118's responsible gaming tools, policies, and support resources.
Understanding responsible gaming at g118
g118 was built for Malaysian players who enjoy online casino games, live betting, and sportsbook action as a pastime — the same way others enjoy dining out in Bangsar, catching a match at a mamak in Petaling Jaya, or a weekend trip to Penang. Gaming is meant to be enjoyable. The moment it stops being fun and starts feeling like a source of stress, financial pressure, or anxiety, something has shifted — and that is exactly what g118's responsible gaming programme is designed to help you recognise and address.
Problem gambling is a real issue, and g118 does not minimise it. Research consistently shows that a small but significant portion of regular gamblers will develop patterns of behaviour that negatively affect their financial wellbeing, relationships, and mental health. The responsible gaming tools available at g118 are designed to help you stay in control before those patterns take hold — not just after they become a crisis.
g118 operates under international gaming authority standards that mandate the provision of responsible gaming tools and the training of support staff to recognise and respond to signs of problem gambling. These are not optional features bolted on for appearances — they are core requirements of how g118 is permitted to operate, and we take that obligation seriously.
We also recognise that responsible gaming at g118 does not sit in isolation. If you are based in Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, or anywhere else in Malaysia and you are concerned about your gaming behaviour — or that of someone you care about — there are independent resources available to you. g118 encourages any player who needs support to seek it, without judgment.
Remember: gambling should never be used as a way to recover financial losses, solve money problems, or escape from stress. If you notice yourself gambling for these reasons, please use the tools available on your g118 account, or contact our support team at any time.
If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, we encourage you to use g118's responsible gaming tools or seek independent support.
Answering honestly is the first step. g118's responsible gaming tools are available in your account settings, or contact [email protected].
Available to every registered player — activate them anytime from your account settings
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your g118 account. Once your limit is reached, the platform will prevent further deposits until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling period.
Set a maximum session duration. g118 will display an on-screen notification when your session time limit is approaching, and will automatically log you out when the limit is reached — regardless of what game you are playing.
Enable periodic on-screen pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing and your net gaming activity (wins minus losses) for that session. Reality checks are a gentle but effective reminder of how much time and money you are spending.
Take a short break from g118 by activating a cool-off period of between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During a cool-off, you cannot log in or place wagers. Cool-off periods cannot be reversed once activated. Your account — and any balance — is preserved.
Request permanent or extended self-exclusion from the g118 platform. Self-exclusion closes your account and blocks access for the duration you select. Requests are processed within 24 hours. During self-exclusion, g118 will suppress all marketing communications to you.
View a complete record of your g118 gaming activity — deposits, withdrawals, wager history, and net results — for any time period. Transparency about your own activity is one of the most effective responsible gaming tools available.
Step-by-step — takes less than 5 minutes
Access your account via the g118 Login page. Self-exclusion is managed directly within your account dashboard under Responsible Gaming Settings.
From your account menu, select "Responsible Gaming". You will see all available tools including deposit limits, session limits, cool-off, and self-exclusion.
Select the self-exclusion option and choose your preferred duration — options include 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or indefinite. Read the terms of your exclusion carefully before confirming.
Confirm your self-exclusion request. The request is processed within 24 hours. You will receive an email confirmation when your exclusion is active. g118 will immediately suppress all marketing communications.
If you prefer to request self-exclusion by contacting our team directly, email [email protected]. Our support team is available 24/7 and will process your request with full confidentiality.
Recognise the signs — in yourself or someone you know
Recognising these signs is not a sign of weakness — it is the first step toward getting things under control. g118's responsible gaming tools are available to you right now, and our support team is here to help without judgment.
21+ strictly enforced — our commitment to underage prevention
g118 applies a strict 21+ age restriction across all aspects of the platform, including registration, deposits, wagering, and promotional participation. Age verification is mandatory for all new accounts — no exceptions. Where verification cannot be completed, the account will be restricted until proof of age is provided.
If you share your device with family members — especially younger siblings or children — we strongly encourage you to ensure that your g118 login credentials are not accessible to them. g118 recommends enabling password protection on your device and using a unique password for your g118 account that is not shared with anyone.
Parents and guardians in Malaysia who are concerned about young people accessing gambling content online should consider using parental control software at the device or router level. These tools can block access to gambling-related websites across all browsers and applications, providing an additional layer of protection beyond age verification systems operated by individual platforms.
If you become aware that a minor has registered or attempted to register an account on g118, please contact our team at [email protected] immediately. g118 will investigate promptly, close any confirmed underage account, and return any associated funds.
You do not have to handle this alone
If you or someone you know in Malaysia is experiencing difficulties related to gambling, support is available. g118 encourages all players to seek professional guidance without delay — early intervention makes a meaningful difference. The following types of organisations can help:
Malaysia's Ministry of Health operates mental health and crisis support helplines accessible to all Malaysians. Speak to a trained counsellor confidentially at no cost.
Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia operates peer support groups for individuals experiencing compulsive gambling. Meetings are confidential, free, and open to all ages (21+ for gambling-related groups).
Licensed counsellors and psychologists in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru offer specialist support for gambling-related issues. Your g118 support team can help point you in the right direction.
Our 24/7 support team is trained to help players activate responsible gaming tools, discuss concerns in confidence, or facilitate account closure. Email us at [email protected].
g118 is here for the fun — the live casino buzz, the pre-match build-up, the slots spin. Keep it that way. Set your limits, use our tools, and play within your means. Must be 21+.
