Important Reminder

Online gaming is for entertainment purposes only and is only suitable for users aged 18 years and above. Never use savings, borrowed money or funds needed for daily essentials as gaming capital. If you feel there is a problem, seek help immediately via our Live Chat.

1. mq8's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At mq8, we believe that a great entertainment platform not only offers enjoyable games, but also looks after the well-being of its users. Responsible gaming is not just a slogan — it is part of how we operate every day.

From day one, mq8 has invested in systems and processes specifically designed to ensure Malaysian users can enjoy online entertainment in a safe and controlled environment. We understand that for some users, gaming can become difficult to manage — and we are here to help, not to judge.

Our approach to responsible gaming is guided by three core principles:

  • Transparency — we are always transparent about win rates, game mechanics, and associated risks.
  • User controls — you have full control to set limits and manage your own gaming experience.
  • Active Support — our team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and offer assistance with full respect.
Remember: Gaming should feel enjoyable. Once it starts feeling like stress, an obligation or a way to escape problems — that is the time to stop and seek help.

2. Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight. It usually starts with small changes in habits that gradually affect daily life. Watch for these signs in yourself or someone you care about:

Feeling the need to play with more money to get the same level of excitement as before.

Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already lost.

Lying to family or friends about how much time or money has been spent on gaming.

Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to excessive play.

Feeling restless, irritable or uncomfortable when trying to stop or cut back on gaming.

Using savings, borrowing from others, or selling assets to keep playing.

Viewing gambling as the only way to solve financial problems.

Frequently thinking about gaming even while doing other activities.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to use mq8's self-control tools or contact our support team immediately. There is no shame in seeking help — it is a sign of maturity and courage.

3. Self-Assessment — Check Your Gaming Habits

Take a few minutes to answer the questions below honestly. There are no right or wrong answers — this is to help you understand your relationship with online gaming.

1

Have you ever played longer than you originally planned?

2

Have you ever returned to play the next day to try to recover money you had lost?

3

Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?

4

Has gaming ever caused problems in your personal relationships or career?

5

Do you feel the need to hide your gaming activity from those close to you?

6

Have you ever used gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety or personal problems?

7

Have you ever felt unable to control the urge to play even when you wanted to stop?

If you answered "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to speak with the mq8 support team or seek professional advice. Remember, getting help early is the smartest step.

4. Self-Control Tools Provided by mq8

Mq8 provides a range of control tools that you can activate directly through your account panel at any time. All tools are designed to put control in your hands, not to prevent you from enjoying the platform.

Set the maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month to control your spending.

Session Time Limit

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit within a specified period. Your account will automatically pause once the limit is reached.

Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

Turn Off Promotions

Opt out of receiving any bonus or promotional offers that may encourage you to play more frequently.

5. Steps to Manage Your Gaming Habits

If you notice that your gaming habits are starting to affect your life, here is a step-by-step approach we recommend:

  • 4
    Contact mq8 support Our trained support team is available 24/7 via Live Chat. Talk to us — we're here to help, not to judge.
  • 5
    Seek professional help if needed If the problem persists, seek help from a counsellor or a professional support organisation. This is a sign of strength, not weakness.

6. Protection of Underage Users

Mq8 takes the protection of children and teenagers very seriously. Our platform for users aged 18 and above only. Here are the steps we take to ensure this is upheld:

  • Process age verification (KYC) is strictly carried out during registration and before the first withdrawal.
  • Any account suspected of belonging to a minor will be suspended immediately while an investigation is carried out.
  • Any funds in an account confirmed to belong to a minor will be refunded and the account permanently closed.
  • Mq8 does not direct any marketing campaigns at underage groups.
To parents and guardians: If you are concerned about your child accessing online gaming platforms, we recommend using parental control software on shared devices. Contact us if you suspect any account is being used by an underage individual.

Mq8 also encourages all users who have children or teenagers at home to never share their account login details and to always log out after each session.

7. FAQ — Responsible Gaming

Log in to your mq8 account, then navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits based on your own budget. Limits take effect immediately once saved.

For temporary self-exclusion (1–6 months), you will need to wait until the period expires before your account can be reactivated. For permanent self-exclusion, the review process is more stringent and takes 7 working days. This is a deliberate measure to ensure you are making a fully considered decision.

Your account balance remains safe during the exclusion period. You may request a withdrawal of that balance by contacting the mq8 support team via Live Chat. We will process your withdrawal request within 3–5 business days.

Yes. You can view the complete history of your gaming, deposits, and withdrawals in your account panel. This data is stored securely in accordance with Privacy Policy mq8 and can only be accessed by you and authorised support staff.

We encourage you to seek help from a certified counsellor in Malaysia. Talian Kasih (15999) is a free government counselling service operating 24 hours a day. You can also seek support from mental health clinics at your nearest government hospital.
