What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means approaching betting activities — whether online slots, Live Casino, EPL or Malaysian Super League Sports Betting, e-sports, or lottery — purely as a form of entertainment, not as a way to generate income or resolve financial difficulties.

At citi88, we understand that for the majority of Malaysian players, betting is a fun, casual activity — much like watching football or playing badminton with friends. That said, we also recognise that a small number of individuals may find it difficult to manage their playing habits.

That is why citi88 invests seriously in our responsible gaming programme — providing self-control tools, educational resources, and support that are easily accessible to all our members, unconditionally and without stigma.

Responsible gaming at citi88 is more than just an added feature — it is part of our platform's DNA. We want a positive, long-term relationship with every Malaysian player who trusts citi88.

Citi88 Self-Control Tools

Citi88 provides a comprehensive suite of self-control tools to help Malaysian players manage their betting activity more effectively and safely.

Self-Imposed Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on citi88. Our system will automatically block any deposit that exceeds your set limit — even if you try to change it during a moment of emotional instability.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss you are comfortable with in a day or a week. Once the loss limit is reached, citi88 will temporarily suspend your betting activity so you do not continue in an emotionally driven state.

Session Playing Time Limit

Set how long you want to play in a single session. When the time is up, citi88 will send you a notification and let you decide whether to take a break or continue — consciously, not by default.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a break from the citi88 platform, use the Cool-Off feature to lock your account for 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or carry out any transactions.

Self-Exclusion

For those who need a longer break, citi88 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years. During this time, your account will be fully locked and no promotional communications will be sent.

Account Activity Review

Citi88 provides a detailed monthly activity summary — total time played, total deposits, total wagers, and net profit/loss — so you always have a clear picture of your own gaming patterns.
