Control at Your Fingertips Yourself

Finances

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits based on your financial means. Limits take effect immediately and can only be decreased instantly or increased after a 48-hour waiting period to ensure your decisions are made with care.

Finances

Loss Limit

Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once that limit is reached, your account will be blocked from placing any wagers until the loss limit period expires — protecting you from poor decisions during emotionally unstable moments.

Time

Playing Time Limit

Set a maximum session duration for each day. The PG99 system will alert you as you approach your set time limit, and the session will end automatically once the limit is reached to ensure you take adequate breaks.

Break

Temporary Self-Exclusion

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days based on your needs. During the break period, your account will be blocked from all gaming activity and you will not receive any marketing communications from us.

Long Term

Self-Exclusion

If you need a stronger solution, you can apply for self-exclusion for a minimum period of 6 months up to a lifetime. The account will be fully terminated and we will ensure you cannot register a new account for the duration of that period.

Awareness

Activity Notifications

Activate periodic activity summaries that send reports of your platform usage via email — how long you've played, how much you've spent, and usage trends over time. This information helps you make an honest assessment of your gaming habits.

Understanding Responsible Gaming

Online gaming at PG99 is designed as a source of entertainment — a way to unwind, challenge yourself, and enjoy the excitement that comes with every game. But like any form of entertainment involving money, it calls for a mature and responsible approach from every player.

Many players who consistently enjoy their gaming experience do so not because of luck, but because they understand one fundamental principle: gambling is entertainment, not a source of income. They play with money they can afford to lose, set limits before they start, and stop when those limits are reached — regardless of whether they are winning or losing at that point.

Playing Smart Starts with the Right Mindset

Before you log in to PG99 and start playing, there are a few simple questions worth asking yourself. Are you playing for fun, or are you playing to escape stress? Is the money you're using set aside for entertainment, or is it money that should be going toward essential needs?

If the answers to these questions raise concerns, that is a good sign you need to take a moment to reassess your relationship with online gaming. pg99 is here not only to provide engaging games, but also to ensure you can enjoy them without a negative impact on your life.

Practical Tips for Malaysian Players

Based on our experience engaging with the Malaysian player community, here are some practices proven to help players maintain healthy control:

  • Set your budget before you start playing, not during. Financial decisions made in a state of excitement are rarely wise ones. Decide how much you are willing to spend before you open the pg99 app.
  • Do not chase your losses. This is one of the most common traps among players. Once you have reached your set loss limit, close the app and do something else. Money you try to "win back" through additional wagering often only adds to your losses.
  • Take regular breaks during long gaming sessions. Do not sit and play for hours on end. Get up, move around, drink some water, and return to play when you feel refreshed.
  • Do not play when you are emotionally unstable. Work stress, personal issues, or fatigue can impair your judgment. These are not good conditions to play in.
  • Use pg99's self-control tools proactively. Do not wait for problems to arise before activating limits. Set your limits from the start as part of your regular gaming routine.

Players who consistently enjoy a positive long-term gaming experience are those who treat PG99 as budgeted entertainment — much like going to the cinema or dining out. They don't play beyond their set limits, and they know when to stop.

Problem Gambling — Recognising It and Taking Action

Problem gambling is a condition that can affect anyone, regardless of background or level of gaming experience. It is not a matter of personal strength or weakness — it is a condition that requires the right support and timely action.

Early warning signs of problem gambling are often subtle and easy to overlook. You may find yourself constantly thinking about gaming even while at work or with family. Or you may notice that the limits you set for yourself are frequently broken, with a new justification each time.

If this sounds familiar, please take the first step by contacting the pg99 support team via live chat. We will help you activate the appropriate self-control tools and, if needed, connect you with the right professional help resources.

Check Your Gaming Habits
  • I play within a pre-set budget
  • I have never played with borrowed money
  • I can stop playing whenever I choose
  • Gaming does not interfere with my daily responsibilities
  • I have never hidden my gaming activity from family
  • I play for fun, not to solve financial problems

If you cannot check all of the above, consider using pg99's self-control tools or speaking with our support team.

  • KYC verification required before your first withdrawal
  • Underage individual accounts are terminated immediately
  • No registration without valid proof of age

Warning Signs Problem Gambling

Recognising early warning signs is the single most important first step. If you identify two or more of the signs below in yourself, please seek help.

1
Playing More Than Planned

You keep telling yourself "just one more time" and find that your sessions run far longer than originally planned.

2
Borrowed Funds or Essential Money Used

You are using money meant for bills, food, or other necessities for online gaming.

3
Relentlessly Chasing Losses

After a loss, you feel a strong urge to keep playing in hopes of recovering what you lost — and the losses often grow in the process.

4
Hiding Gaming Activity

You hide how much you play or how much you spend from family members or close friends.

5
Sleep or Concentration Issues

You frequently think about gaming even when you should be working, resting, or spending time with family, and it is affecting your sleep quality.

6
Gaming as an Escape

You find yourself turning to online gaming whenever you face stress, anxiety, or personal problems as a way to escape.

7
Neglecting Responsibilities

Gaming activity is starting to interfere with your work performance, family relationships, or daily responsibilities that should be your priorities.

8
Needing Larger Amounts for the Same Satisfaction

The same betting amount no longer brings the same excitement as before, and you constantly increase the amount to get the thrill you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions Asked

Log in to your pg99 account and go to the "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Enter your desired amount and click save — the limit will take effect immediately. To increase a limit, there is a 48-hour waiting period as an added protection measure.

A temporary self-exclusion is an account suspension for a set period — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. Once the period ends, you can log back in automatically. Self-exclusion is a more permanent solution lasting a minimum of 6 months up to a lifetime, where your account is fully terminated and you will not be able to register a new account during that period. Choose based on your current needs.

No — this is an intentional safety feature. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the minimum set period has elapsed. This ensures that your decision to take a break is fully honoured and cannot be undone on impulse. Once the period ends, you will need to actively contact the support team to restore access — it will not be reactivated automatically.

Any balance in your account when self-exclusion is activated will be held securely by PG99. You may submit a withdrawal request for that balance through our customer support team. Withdrawals will be processed according to standard procedures following the required identity verification. We do not withhold player funds on the grounds of self-exclusion.

Yes, all self-control tools at PG99 — including deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, temporary breaks, and self-exclusion — are completely free and can be activated with no fees or conditions.
