Play at Mae88 — For Entertainment, Not a Burden

The mae88 platform is your online entertainment destination — where you can enjoy your favourite slots, bet on Lee Zii Jia's badminton matches, watch MLBB MPL Malaysia e-sports, and experience the thrill of live casino from the comfort of your own home. All of this should bring you joy, not stress or worry.

Mae88 understands that for a small number of users, gaming can become more than just entertainment — and when that happens, it becomes a serious issue. That's why we invest in a comprehensive responsible gaming programme — not because we have to, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every mae88 member.

Mae88's responsible gaming policy is not just a document buried in a corner of the website — it is a living commitment reflected in every platform design decision, promotional policy, and the way we engage with members every day. If gaming is starting to affect your daily life negatively, we want you to know that mae88 is here to help — without judgment, and without conditions.

Always remember: Gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a way to solve financial problems, escape stress, or fill an emotional void. If that's how it feels, it's time to talk to someone who can help.

Responsible Gaming Principles at Mae88
Only play with money you can afford to lose
Never gamble with rent money, bill payments, borrowed funds or emergency savings.
Set a session time limit
Decide how long you'll play before starting a session — and stick to that decision.
Don't chase your losses
Chasing losses with bigger bets almost always makes things worse.
Balance it with other activities
Gaming should be just one small part of your leisure time — not the only thing you do.
Don't play when you're emotionally unwell
Playing when you're angry, sad, stressed, or intoxicated leads to poor decisions and regret.

Mae88's Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

This isn't a slogan — these are concrete actions mae88 takes every day to ensure a healthy gaming experience for all Malaysian members.

A Complete Suite of Self-Control Tools

Mae88 provides five self-control tools that any member can activate at any time — deposit limit, loss limit, bet limit, voluntary break and self-exclusion. All tools are free and accessible directly within your account, with no need to contact support.

Strict Age Verification

Mae88 uses a strict age verification process during registration to ensure the platform is only accessed by individuals aged 18 and above. Malaysian IC verification is required, and accounts suspected of belonging to underage individuals will be suspended immediately pending verification.

Play Pattern Monitoring

The mae88 system continuously monitors member gaming patterns to identify early warning signs of problem gambling — such as sharply increasing bets, progressively longer sessions, or unusual deposit patterns. When these signs are detected, the mae88 team will proactively reach out to the member.

Empathetic 24/7 Support

The mae88 support team is specially trained to handle problem gaming situations with empathy and professionalism. If you or someone you care about needs help, we're ready to listen and assist you in accessing the right self-control tools or support resources — in Bahasa Melayu, any time.

No Aggressive Marketing to At-Risk Members

Mae88 does not send bonus offers or promotions to members who are actively using self-control tools or have activated a voluntary break. This is a deliberate business decision — because our members' long-term wellbeing matters more to us than short-term revenue.

Resources & Education

Mae88 continuously provides educational resources on responsible gaming — including guides on identifying signs of addiction, self-assessment tools, and information on support channels available to Malaysian players who need professional help.

5 mae88 Self-Control Tools — How to Use Them

All these tools are free, easy to activate, and take effect immediately. You are in full control.

Tool 01
Deposit Limit

Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly or monthly period. For example, you can set a deposit limit of RM 200 per week so the total amount added to your mae88 account never exceeds what you've set. Limits take effect within 24 hours and cannot be raised immediately — a mandatory waiting period applies to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Tool 02
Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount you can afford within a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, mae88 will automatically block you from placing bets or playing until the period resets. This protects you from compounding losses during emotionally vulnerable moments.

Tool 03
Betting Limit

Cap the maximum value of each individual bet you can place — for slots, Live Casino, Sports Betting, or E-Sports. This helps you avoid high-value impulsive bets that can lead to sudden, significant losses in a short space of time.

Tool 04
Voluntary Break (Cooling-Off)

Activate a break from the mae88 platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom period of your choosing. While a break is active, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or play on mae88. This gives you the space to step back, think clearly, and reassess your relationship with gaming without any pressure.

Tool 05
Self-Exclusion

If you decide to step away from mae88 entirely for an extended period, self-exclusion lets you close access to your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This is a step we fully respect and support — and the account cannot be reopened before the set period ends without going through a strict verification process.

Need Help Activating?

The mae88 support team can help you activate any of these self-control tools via Live Chat in under 2 minutes — 24 hours a day, in Bahasa Melayu.

How to Activate Mae88's Self-Control Tools

Log In to Your Mae88 Account

Open the mae88 platform and log in using your phone number and password. Make sure you are in a calm state of mind when making this decision.

Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon or account menu. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Controls" section within your profile settings.

Choose the Tool You Need

Choose the self-control tool you wish to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, betting limit, voluntary break, or self-exclusion — and set the value or duration that suits you.

Confirm & Activate

Confirm your selection via OTP verification sent to your phone number. The limit you set will take effect immediately or within 24 hours, depending on the type of limit selected.

Contact Support If You Need Help

If you encounter any issues or need further guidance, the mae88 support team is available via 24/7 Live Chat in Bahasa Melayu.

Important to Remember

A few important things you should know about mae88's self-control tools.

Lowering a limit: Limits can be lowered immediately if you want tighter control. This is a proactive step we actively encourage.

Increasing limits: Limits can only be raised after a mandatory 24-hour waiting period — giving you time to reconsider with a clear head.

Self-exclusion: Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the set minimum period expires — this is a safeguard you put in place for yourself.

No promotions: Members with active self-control tools will not receive any bonus or promotional notifications from mae88 while the limits are in effect.

Completely free: All mae88 self-control tools are completely free, with no penalties or loss of account privileges when you use them.

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Not everyone notices when gaming starts becoming a problem. Learn to recognise these early warning signs — in yourself or someone you care about.

Playing with Essential Money

Using money set aside for bills, rent, food, or emergency savings to gamble — and feeling anxious when there's nothing left to play with.

Chasing Losses

Constantly trying to recover losses by betting bigger and more frequently, with a persistent feeling that a "big win" is always just around the corner — even as losses continue to mount.

Concealing Gambling Activity

Lying to family members or friends about how long you've been playing, how much you've spent, or denying that gaming is having a negative impact on your life.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Gaming begins to interfere with work, family relationships, studies, or other daily responsibilities. You find yourself more interested in playing than attending family events or keeping commitments.

Significant Mood Changes

Feeling on top of the world when you win, then devastated, angry, or low when you lose — to the point where your daily mood is entirely dictated by the outcome of your sessions.

Borrowing Money to Gamble

Borrowing money from family, friends or financial institutions to fund gambling — and feeling compelled to hide the real reason behind the loan.

Self-Assessment — Is Gaming Affecting Your Life?

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to speak with the mae88 support team or seek professional help.

S1 Have you ever gambled with money meant for essentials like bills, rent or food?
S2 Have you ever tried to stop playing but couldn't, even when you genuinely wanted to?
S3 Have family members or friends ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?
S4 Have you ever hidden or lied about how much time or money you've spent gaming?
S5 Has gaming ever negatively affected your work performance, studies, or personal relationships?
S6 Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your gaming?
S7 Do you feel the need to keep increasing your bet size to get the same level of excitement as before?

If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to contact the mae88 support team via Live Chat or email at support@mae88.click. We can help you activate the right self-control tools. No judgement — we just want to help.

Minor Protection — A Shared Responsibility

The mae88 platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. Mae88 takes this responsibility seriously and has implemented multiple measures to prevent underage access. That said, we believe this is a shared responsibility between the platform and parents or guardians.

If you are a parent or guardian concerned that your child may be accessing online gambling platforms, here are some steps you can take to protect them. Mae88 fully supports these underage protection efforts.

If you suspect your child has registered an account on mae88, please contact our support team immediately at support@mae88.click. We will investigate and take prompt action to close the account and return any associated funds. No question will go unanswered on this matter.

FAQ — Mae88 Responsible Gaming

Answers to questions frequently asked by Malaysian players about responsible gaming at mae88.

To set a deposit limit on your mae88 account, log in to the platform and go to your account settings or profile section. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Controls" menu and select "Deposit Limits". You can set limits for daily, weekly, or monthly periods based on your needs. For example, if you want to make sure you don't deposit more than RM 200 a week, set a weekly limit of RM 200 and the mae88 system will block any deposit attempt exceeding that amount within that period. Limits can be lowered immediately, but to raise a limit, you'll need to wait 24 hours — this is an added safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions. If you run into any issues during this process, contact the mae88 support team via Live Chat, available 24 hours a day in Bahasa Melayu.

Self-exclusion is intentionally designed to be irreversible before the minimum set period has elapsed. This is an important protective feature — because the whole purpose of self-exclusion is to give you a meaningful break from gaming, and making it easy to cancel would undermine its effectiveness. If you choose self-exclusion for 6 months, you will not be able to access your mae88 account under any circumstances for that entire duration. Once the exclusion period ends, you will need to actively contact the mae88 support team to reopen your account — it will not reopen automatically. The reopening process also involves a conversation with our support team about your readiness to return to responsible play. We do this not to stand in your way, but to ensure that your decision to return is one made consciously and thoughtfully.

During an active voluntary break, the balance in your mae88 account is safe and will not be affected. Your funds remain in the account and you can still withdraw them even during the break period — you simply cannot make new deposits or use the balance to play. Withdrawals during a voluntary break can be processed through the usual channels — DuitNow, Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, or FPX — by contacting the mae88 support team via Live Chat. Funds will be returned to your Malaysian bank account or e-wallet within 15 to 60 minutes as normal. Once your voluntary break ends and you return to the platform, full access to all features will be restored automatically. No VIP privileges or account status will be lost as a result of taking a voluntary break.

Mae88 recognises that professional support is sometimes needed beyond what our platform can provide. The mae88 support team is trained to help you understand the available self-control tools and to listen to your concerns with empathy — however, we are not mental health professionals and do not provide clinical counselling. For individuals who need professional help to address problem gambling, we strongly encourage you to seek assistance from a licensed mental health professional in Malaysia. Your family doctor is a good starting point for a referral to the right specialist. Government hospitals throughout Malaysia also offer psychiatric and counselling services that are accessible to the public. Mae88 is always ready to help you activate self-control tools while you pursue the professional support you need — both steps can go hand in hand and complement each other for a more effective recovery.

No, using any mae88 self-control tool will not affect your VIP status or result in the loss of any account privileges you've earned. Mae88 does not penalise members who choose to play more responsibly — on the contrary, we greatly respect that decision. Your VIP status and loyalty points will remain in your account and continue to accumulate when you resume activity after your limit or break period ends. The only exception is if you activate a long-term or permanent self-exclusion — in that case, specific considerations regarding your account status will be discussed with our support team during the account reopening process. Remember, these self-control tools are designed to protect you — and mae88 sees their use as a sign of maturity and responsibility to be admired, not something to avoid out of fear of penalties.
