Control Tools Responsible Gaming

Guru88 equips every player with practical control tools — so you always stay in full control.

Flexible Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit based on your means. Once a limit is set, our system will automatically block any deposits that exceed it.

Play Time Limit

Set a play time reminder so you do not lose track of how long you have been playing. When the time limit is reached, the system will send a notification and offer the option to take a break.

Temporary Account Suspension

Need a short break? You can temporarily suspend your account — whether for 24 hours, a week, or a month — without having to close it permanently.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling has negatively impacted your life, you may apply for full self-exclusion. The request will be enforced within 24 working hours.

Daily Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb in a single day. Once this limit is reached, your gaming session will be automatically ended to protect you.

Reality Check

Guru88 sends periodic notifications during active gaming sessions — reminding you of the total time and money spent since the session began.


Guru88 fully supports the principles of responsible gaming. All control tools on this page are available free of charge to every registered player and can be activated at any time through your account settings.

01What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online gambling as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income, an escape from problems, or an uncontrolled habit. At Guru88, we believe every player deserves to enjoy the game in a safe, transparent, and enjoyable environment.

A reality we must all acknowledge: gambling involves real financial risk. Not every player will win, and no strategy or system can guarantee consistent profits. It is therefore essential for every player to understand that money used for gambling must be money you can afford to lose — not rent money, not food money, not borrowed funds.

Guru88 doesn't just provide a gaming platform — we also take responsibility for ensuring our gaming ecosystem remains healthy and safe for all users in Malaysia.

Core Principles of Healthy Gaming

  • Set fixed budget before starting a gaming session and adhere to it without exception.
  • Treat money spent as an entertainment expense — just like a movie ticket or a meal at a restaurant.
  • Do not attempt to chasing losses — these are among the leading causes of serious problem gambling.
  • Ensure that gambling activities do not interfere with your daily commitments such as work, family, and health.
  • Take regular breaks and don't let gaming become your only form of entertainment.

02Recognising the Early Warning Signs of Gambling Addiction

Gambling addiction is a real mental health condition that can affect anyone — regardless of background, education, or social status. Recognising the early warning signs is the single most important first step toward getting help before the situation worsens.

Guru88 encourages every player to be honest with themselves. If you or someone you care about is showing any of the following signs, please take immediate action.

!

Financial Signs

Borrowing money to gamble, neglecting bills, selling possessions, or hiding gambling expenses from family.

!

Emotional Signs

Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when not gambling; only feeling happy when playing; using gambling as an escape from problems.

!

Behavioural Signs

Spending increasingly more time gambling, failing to cut back despite trying, and lying to loved ones about gambling activity.

!

Social Signs

Neglecting family and friendships, withdrawing from social activities, and losing interest in hobbies or other pursuits.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, this is a signal that you need to take immediate control measures. Use the Guru88 self-exclusion tool or contact our support team for further guidance.

03How to Use the Guru88 Control Tools

All responsible gaming control tools at Guru88 are designed to be easy to use and take effect immediately upon activation. Below is a step-by-step guide to accessing and using each available tool.

04Self-Check: Am I Playing Responsibly?

Use this checklist as an honest guide to evaluate your gaming habits. Check the items that best describe your current situation.

I play with money I can afford to lose, not funds needed for daily essentials or borrowed money.

I have set a fixed gaming budget and I always stick to it.

I have never tried to chase losses by increasing my bet amount.

My gambling activity has never interfered with my work, family, or daily responsibilities.

I can stop playing at any time I choose, without feeling anxious or uncomfortable.

I do not hide my gambling activities from family members or close friends.

I view gambling as entertainment, not as a way to solve financial problems.

If you can honestly confirm all of the above, you are gaming responsibly. Keep up these good habits and remember to reassess periodically.

If there is anything you cannot honestly confirm, now is the right time to act. Contact the Guru88 support team or use the self-exclusion tool available in your account.

05Child Protection & Vulnerable Persons

Guru88 takes strict measures to ensure our platform is not accessed by anyone under the age of 18. Our age verification process is rigorous and thorough — every new player must submit valid identity documents before being permitted to play with real money.

If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend the following additional steps to protect them from accessing online gaming platforms:

  • Use a strong, unique password for your Guru88 account and never share it with anyone.
  • Log out of your account after every session, especially on shared devices.
  • Enable parental control software on devices used by children in your household.
  • Ensure that the bank account linked to Guru88 is not accessible to children.
  • Have open conversations with your children about the risks of online gambling.

For those at risk of gambling-related harm, Guru88 works with relevant support organisations. If you or someone you know needs professional help, please contact our support team for more information on the resources available in Malaysia.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Log in to your account, go to Account Settings, then select the "Responsible Gaming" tab. There you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits will take effect within minutes of confirmation. Any request to increase a limit requires a mandatory waiting period as an added protective measure.

Self-suspension requests will be enforced within 24 working hours of submission. During the suspension period, you will not be able to access your account, make deposits, or join any games. Any remaining account balance can still be withdrawn following standard procedures.

Limits can be reduced at any time and take effect immediately. However, to increase or cancel a limit, a mandatory waiting period applies — typically between 24 and 72 hours depending on the limit type. This is a protective measure we have in place for your own benefit.

The most important first step is to be honest with yourself. Use the self-exclusion tool in your Guru88 account immediately as a protective measure. Then, contact our support team, who will help connect you with the right professional resources. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Yes, the minimum age to play at Guru88 is 18 years old. All new players are required to submit valid identity verification documents during the KYC process. Any account found to belong to an underage individual will be terminated immediately and all balances will be returned in accordance with established procedures.
