Online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of stress or burden. bbs117 believes every player deserves a safe, transparent, and controlled experience. This responsible gaming policy is part of our core commitment to all members in Malaysia.
1What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means participating in online gambling activities in a controlled, mindful manner that does not affect other areas of your life — including your finances, relationships, and mental health. bbs117 believes that genuine enjoyment can only be achieved when players set clear boundaries from the outset.
As a trusted platform in Malaysia, we encourage every member to view slot games, Live Casino, and bingo purely as entertainment — not as a way to generate steady income or resolve financial problems. With the right approach, gaming at bbs117 can remain enjoyable and stress-free in the long run.
- Set a spending limit before starting your gaming session.
- Treat the money you wager as a cost of entertainment, not an investment.
- Take regular breaks and avoid playing continuously for hours on end.
- Do not try to chase losses by betting bigger — this is a dangerous habit.
- Play games in a calm and positive state of mind, never when you are stressed.
2Control Tools Provided by bbs117
Bbs117 equips every account with a range of control tools that can be activated directly from your account settings. These tools are designed to help you manage your gaming habits proactively, before they become a problem.
Deposit Limit
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to automatically control your spending.
Session Time Limit
Set how long you can play in a single session. The system will remind you when the limit is reached.
Loss Limit
Set a maximum loss amount for any given period. The account will stop automatically once this limit is reached.
Take a Break
Take a temporary break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days based on your needs.
Self-Exclusion
Block your account entirely for a period of 6 months to permanently if you need an extended break.
Real-Time Reminders
Receive notifications when you have played beyond the duration or limits you have set.
All these control tools can be activated or updated via your Account Settings page. Changes to lower limits take effect immediately, while changes to higher limits require a 48-hour waiting period to ensure player safety.
3Self-Assessment — Are You Playing Safely?
An honest self-assessment is the first step towards healthy gaming. Answer the questions below truthfully to evaluate your own gaming habits. If you answer "yes" to two or more questions, we encourage you to contact the bbs117 support team or seek help from the resources listed below.
Self-Assessment Questions
- 1Have you ever felt the urge to bet with money that should have been used for daily necessities such as bills, rent, or food?
- 2Do you often try to chase losses by continuing to play even when you know you should stop?
- 3Have family members or friends ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?
- 4Do you feel restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when you are unable to play for a period of time?
- 5Have you ever lied to someone close to you about how much time or money you have spent gambling?
- 6Has gambling ever caused you to neglect your work, family, or academic responsibilities?
- 7Do you gamble to escape personal problems, work stress, or feelings of sadness and boredom?
- 8Has the amount you wager been gradually increasing over time in order to achieve the same level of excitement?
If two or more of the questions above are answered with "yes", this may be an early warning sign of a gambling problem. Do not wait until the situation worsens — contact the bbs117 support team now or use the self-exclusion tool available in your account. Seeking help early is a sign of strength, not weakness.
4Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is the most important step in preventing a more serious situation. Here are some warning signs that you and those close to you should watch out for.
- Feeling compelled to play even when you cannot afford to absorb the financial losses.
- Borrowing money from others or excessively using credit cards for gambling purposes.
- Neglecting sleep, diet, or physical health due to excessive time spent playing.
- Feeling excited or relieved only when playing — unable to enjoy other activities as you once did.
- Experiencing conflicts with your partner, family, or employer over your gambling habits.
- Hiding bank statements, receipts, or online activity from family members.
- Frequently thinking about gambling even while doing other things — at work, during meals, or before bed.

6Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming
Here is a quick guide you can follow before and during every session at bbs117. These tips are easy to apply and have proven effective in helping players maintain healthy gaming habits over the long term.
- Set a separate monthly gaming budget from your daily expenses and stick to that limit without exception.
- Do not play while intoxicated, extremely tired, or under significant emotional stress — decisions made in such states are often irrational.
- Take at least a 15-minute break every hour while playing. Stand up, stretch, drink some water, and return with a clearer mind.
- Do not play with the intention of recovering previous losses. Every gaming session is independent and unrelated to past sessions.
- Set a specific time limit — for example, a maximum of 1 hour per day — and use an alarm or timer to enforce that limit.
- Check your balance and transaction records regularly. Being aware of the actual amount you have spent is the simplest and most effective control tool.
- Engage in other activities outside of gaming — sports, hobbies, time with family — so that gaming does not become your only source of entertainment.
Players who follow the guidelines above report a more enjoyable, more controlled gaming experience, free from guilt or regret. Responsible gaming is better gaming — for you and for everyone.
