Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
85po believes online gaming should be a source of fun and entertainment — not stress or financial hardship. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all players in Malaysia.
We offer a range of self-control tools designed to help players manage their gaming activity. These tools are accessible through your account settings, and we encourage all players to make full use of them.
Responsible gaming isn't just a policy — it's a core value at 85po. We do not encourage excessive play and always put the wellbeing of our players above short-term gains.
Warning Signs of At-Risk Behaviour to Watch Out For
Spotting the early signs is the first step to staying safe. Please take note if you or someone you know is showing any of the following:
Spending far more time than planned on gaming, and finding it hard to stop even when intending to.
Using savings, bill money, or borrowed funds to gamble. Trying to "chase losses" by placing bigger bets after losing.
Neglecting work, family, health, or relationships due to excessive focus on online gaming.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when unable to play, or using gaming as an escape from real-life problems.
Lying to family or friends about gaming activity and the amount of money spent on gambling.
Has tried multiple times to stop or cut back on gaming but failed, always returning to it.
Set Time & Budget Limits Before You Play
One of the most effective ways to stay in control is to set clear limits before starting a gaming session. Here's a practical guide you can follow:
- Set a fixed budget: Decide how much money in MYR (RM) you can comfortably spend on entertainment each week or month. Treat this amount as an entertainment expense you can afford — not an investment.
- Set time limit: Set a time limit for each session. Use your phone's timer as a reminder to stop.
- Don't chase losses: If you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to losing even more.
- Only play with money you can afford to lose: Never gamble with money needed for essentials such as rent, food, or bills.
- Don't play when you're stressed: Decisions made in an emotionally unstable state often lead to poor betting choices.
Self-Control Tools Available to You
85po provides self-control features that you can activate through your account settings or by contacting our support team:
Deposit Limits
You can set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in RM. Once a limit is set, the system will block any deposit that exceeds that amount within the relevant period. Limits can be reduced immediately, but increasing them requires a waiting period for added protection.
Temporary Break Period
If you feel you need a short break, you can activate a temporary break period — typically ranging from 24 hours to a few weeks. During this time, access to your account will be temporarily blocked. This gives you the space to clear your head and rest without any pressure.
Self-Exclusion
For those who feel they need a longer break, the self-exclusion option lets you close access to your account for an extended period. Contact 85po customer support at [email protected] to start the process. This decision is taken seriously and processed promptly.
Minor Protection
85po takes the protection of children and minors very seriously. This platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 18 and above.
- The registration process requires age verification, and 85po reserves the right to request identity documents at any time.
- If you share a device with children or teenagers, make sure your account is protected with a strong password and that you always log out after each session.
- We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent unauthorised access.
- If you suspect your account has been accessed by a minor, contact our support team immediately for further action.
Any account found to be owned or used by a minor will be closed immediately without prior notice.
Life Balance & Where to Get Help
Keep Balance in Your Life
Online gaming should be a small part of a balanced life, not the main focus. Make sure you still set aside quality time for family, keep up with other hobbies, look after your physical and mental health, and meet your work and financial responsibilities.
If you notice that gaming is starting to negatively affect other areas of your life, that's a clear sign to step back and reassess your habits.
Seek Professional Help
If you feel your gaming is getting out of control, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Here are the steps you can take:
- Talk to a trusted family member or friend about how you're feeling.
- Reach out to a certified counsellor or psychologist in Malaysia for professional support.
- Malaysian public hospitals and clinics offer accessible counselling services.
- Contact 85po support at [email protected] to activate account controls or self-exclusion.
