g118's Position

Why Responsible Gaming Matters to g118

For g118, responsible gaming is not merely a legal obligation or a box to tick on a licensing form. It is a core value we have upheld since the very first day this platform launched in 2018.

We recognise that a small number of players may struggle to keep their gambling habits in check. When this happens, it can have serious consequences on personal finances, family relationships and mental well-being. g118 has no interest in contributing to that problem — quite the opposite, we want to be part of the solution.

That is why we invest in building a comprehensive suite of self-management tools, training our support team to recognise the signs of problem gambling, and providing easy access to professional support resources — all free of charge and accessible directly from within your g118 account.

Super League football, badminton, e-sports or Live Casino — whatever you enjoy on g118, your well-being matters more than any transaction or platform revenue.

g118's Principles: Gaming should be a source of entertainment and enjoyment. Once it starts causing stress, anxiety, or financial hardship, it's time to step back and seek help.

Warning Signs: Recognise a Gambling Problem Early

Gambling with Money You Can't Afford to Lose

Using rent money, utility bills, or emergency savings to gamble is a serious red flag. Gambling should only ever be funded from a pre-set entertainment budget.

Chasing Losses

Increasing your bets to try to recover lost money is a dangerous pattern. Every betting session is independent — past results have no bearing on what comes next.

Concealing Gambling Activity

When someone starts lying to family or friends about the time and money spent gambling, it is a significant warning sign that gambling has moved beyond entertainment.

Neglecting Daily Responsibilities

If work, family, studies, or your health are being neglected because of excessive time spent gambling, it is a sign that gambling has become a problem that needs immediate attention.

Gambling-Related Stress and Anxiety

Feeling anxious, restless or low when you are unable to gamble, or after a losing session, are signs of dependency that should be addressed with professional help.

g118's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Six concrete actions g118 takes every day to protect Malaysian players

Strict Age Verification

G118 enforces a strict age verification process for every new registrant. A valid identity document (MyKad or passport) is required before any betting activity is permitted. Accounts suspected of belonging to individuals under 18 will be immediately blocked and investigated.

Active Pattern Monitoring

G118's system actively monitors betting patterns for signs of risky behaviour — such as sudden deposit spikes, loss-chasing or excessively long play sessions. When such patterns are detected, our team will proactively reach out to the player.

Dedicated Staff Training

All g118 customer support staff undergo dedicated training to identify signs of problem gambling, communicate with sensitivity, and direct players to the right help resources. We are not just support agents — we are your first line of defence.

Ethical Marketing

G118 does not send promotions to players who are under a self-exclusion period or who have set betting limits. All g118 marketing materials include a clear responsible gaming message and do not target minors or vulnerable individuals.

Ongoing Financial Controls

All financial limit tools — deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits — can be activated instantly and take effect immediately. Reducing or removing an existing limit, however, is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period to guard against impulsive decisions.

Easily Accessible Information

Information on responsible gaming, self-management tools and help resources is available on every page of the g118 platform — not buried in a hard-to-find menu. We believe easy access to these resources is part of our responsibility.

FAQ: Responsible Gaming

Log in to your g118 account, go to Account Settings and look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Deposit Limits" section. There you can set daily, weekly or monthly limits in MYR. Limits take effect immediately upon confirmation. Lowering a limit also takes effect straight away. Raising a limit, however, is subject to a 48-hour cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

No — and for good reason. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment that g118 enforces strictly. It cannot be cancelled before the set period ends. This ensures that players who choose to take a break are not exposed to the temptation to return before they are truly ready. For permanent self-exclusion, the account is closed for good. This is the only mechanism within g118's responsible gaming tools that cannot be shortened.

Yes — g118 employs a comprehensive, multi-layered age verification system. Every player is required to submit their MyKad number or passport upon registration, and a KYC (Know Your Customer) process is carried out to verify identity. Accounts suspected of belonging to individuals under 18 will be immediately blocked, investigated and closed. All balances will be returned in accordance with our procedures. g118 also does not direct marketing materials at underage individuals through any channel.

The first step is to contact the g118 support team via live chat or email support@g118.biz — we can help you activate self-exclusion and guide you through the next steps. We also encourage players to seek professional support through accredited counsellors. Your conversations with the g118 team are strictly confidential and will not negatively affect any decisions related to your account.

Yes. g118 uses a monitoring system designed to detect betting patterns that may indicate signs of a problem — such as sudden deposit spikes, loss-chasing behaviour or unusually long play sessions. When the system flags these patterns, a player may receive an in-platform notification, an email, or a direct outreach from our support team. This is not about restricting you — it is a genuine welfare check from g118.
10 Tips for Responsible Gaming at g118

A practical guide to keeping your gaming experience enjoyable at all times

1
Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on an RM amount you are comfortable losing before you open the g118 platform. Think of it as an entertainment cost — like buying a movie ticket.

2
Don't Chase Your Losses

Once your budget is gone, stop. Topping up to "win back" losses is a trap that almost always makes things worse.

3
Set Time Limits

Use g118's session time limit tool. Long sessions affect your focus, and poor decisions come more easily when you're tired or too absorbed in the game.

4
Don't Play When You're Stressed

Gambling while dealing with work stress, family issues or other negative emotions frequently leads to poor decision-making.

5
Understand That the House Always Wins

Every casino game carries a house edge. Treat winnings as a bonus, not a guarantee. Gamble for entertainment, not as a source of income.

6
Take Regular Breaks

After every gaming session, take a break. Do something else — spend time with family, exercise, or simply grab a coffee. Keep a healthy balance in your life.

7
Keep a Record of Your Activity

Use g118's activity reports to review your deposit history, losses, and winnings. Seeing the full picture with actual figures helps you make more informed decisions.

8
Never Play with Borrowed Money

Only deposit money you already have and can afford to lose. Gambling with borrowed funds, credit or emergency savings is a serious warning sign of a gambling problem.

9
Talk to Someone You Trust

If you feel your gambling is becoming too frequent or problematic, talk to a partner, family member, or trusted friend. Social support is key to recovery.

10
Seek Professional Help When Needed

There is no shame in seeking help. Problem gambling is a health issue that can be addressed with professional support. Reach out to g118 or a certified counsellor today.
