Play Safe. Play Smart.

Responsible Gambling

At 98kiss, we believe that enjoyment should never come at the expense of your wellbeing. This page explains our tools, your rights, and the support available if gambling ever stops feeling fun.

21+
This platform is strictly for adults
aged 21 and above only.

Gambling Is Entertainment,
Not a Solution

98kiss is an online gaming platform designed for adult entertainment. We offer slots, live casino, sports betting, and more to players across Malaysia — from Kuala Lumpur and Penang to Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, and Shah Alam. But we are equally serious about ensuring that our platform is used responsibly.

Gambling should be an enjoyable pastime — something you do with money you can afford to spend, within time limits that feel comfortable, and with full awareness that the house has a mathematical edge on every game. The moment gambling starts to feel stressful, compulsive, or financially damaging, it has crossed a line that 98kiss takes seriously.

That is why we have invested in a full suite of responsible gambling tools, a clear 21+ age policy, and a commitment to connecting players who need help with appropriate support services. These are not checkbox features — they are operational priorities that our team monitors every day.

If you are in crisis right now: Please stop playing and speak to someone. Talian Kasih 15999 is a free, confidential helpline available 24/7 in Malaysia. Befrienders KL can be reached at 603-7627 2929. You are not alone.

The 98kiss Responsible Gambling Pledge
  • We enforce strict 21+ age verification on all accounts before withdrawals are permitted.
  • We provide deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, and self-exclusion tools to every player.
  • We publish all game RTPs and do not manipulate odds outside of stated house margins.
  • We train our support team to recognise indicators of problem gambling and respond with empathy.
  • We honour all self-exclusion requests promptly and without question or delay.

Your Responsible Gaming Tools

Every 98kiss account comes with these tools built in. You can activate, adjust, or request any of them at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your 98kiss account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is applied straight away; increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it becomes active, giving you time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time period. When your losses reach the threshold you have chosen, your ability to place further wagers is paused for the remainder of that period. This tool is designed to prevent chasing losses — one of the most common risk behaviours in problem gambling.

Session Time Reminders

Set a session duration limit and receive an in-platform notification when your playing time reaches that threshold. You can choose to continue or exit — but the reminder ensures that you are always making a conscious, informed decision rather than losing track of time during an extended session.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform without committing to full self-exclusion. A cooling-off period can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account is suspended for gameplay and deposits. Customer support cannot override a cooling-off period once it is activated.

Self-Exclusion

Request a full self-exclusion from the 98kiss platform for a minimum of 6 months, or permanently. Once confirmed by our support team, self-exclusion is applied within 24 hours. You will be unable to log in, deposit, or receive marketing communications for the duration. All self-exclusion requests are honoured without question.

Marketing Opt-Out

Opt out of all promotional emails, bonus offers, and in-platform marketing messages at any time through your account preferences or by contacting support. Choosing to opt out does not affect your access to the platform or your existing balance in any way.

How to Activate a Limit or Self-Exclusion

4
For Self-Exclusion: Contact Support

Self-exclusion requests must be submitted to our support team via live chat or by emailing [email protected]. Our team will confirm activation within 24 hours.

Important Notes on Our Limits Policy

  • Limit reductions are applied immediately with no waiting period.
  • Limit increases have a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before activation.
  • Cooling-off periods cannot be cancelled or shortened once activated, regardless of reason.
  • Self-exclusion requests are permanent for the chosen duration. The minimum period is 6 months.
  • During self-exclusion, you will be removed from all marketing lists and will not receive promotional communications from 98kiss.
  • If you attempt to register a new account during a self-exclusion period, that account will be closed when identified.

Strictly 21+ Only

98kiss enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. This is not a suggestion — it is a non-negotiable condition of using the platform. We believe that protecting young people from exposure to gambling is one of the most important responsibilities any gaming operator carries.

Every account is required to complete identity verification (KYC) before withdrawals are processed. During KYC, we verify your date of birth against government-issued identification such as your Malaysian MyKad, driver's licence, or passport. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be closed immediately, with any deposited funds returned in full.

If you are a parent or guardian: We strongly encourage you to use parental control software to restrict access to online gambling sites for minors in your household. If you believe a minor has registered an account on 98kiss, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

ID Verification Required

All players must complete KYC with a valid Malaysian MyKad, passport, or driver's licence before withdrawals are permitted.

Underage Accounts Closed

Any account identified as belonging to a person under 21 is immediately closed and the original deposit amount returned in full.

Parental Controls Recommended

We encourage parents and guardians to use device-level and network-level controls to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms.

Report Underage Access

If you suspect that a person under 21 is using or attempting to use the 98kiss platform, please report it to our support team immediately.

Is Your Gambling Still Fun?

The following questions are based on widely used responsible gambling assessment tools. They are for self-reflection only — there are no right or wrong answers, and this is not a clinical diagnostic tool.

Ask Yourself Honestly

If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we encourage you to consider using one of our responsible gambling tools, taking a break, or reaching out to a support organisation.

1

Have you ever gambled with more money than you planned or could afford to lose?

2

Have you returned to gamble on another day in order to win back money you had previously lost?

3

Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds set aside for essential expenses (rent, food, bills) in order to gamble?

4

Has your gambling caused arguments, stress, or tension in your relationships with family or friends?

5

Do you feel irritable, anxious, or restless when you try to cut back or stop gambling?

6

Have you lost significant time from work, study, or personal commitments because of gambling?

7

Do you gamble as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or improve your mood?

8

Have you tried to hide the extent of your gambling from people close to you?

What to do if you answered yes to several of these: You are not alone, and recognising a pattern is a positive first step. Please explore the tools available in your 98kiss account, consider taking a break, and read through the support resources listed further down this page. Reaching out — whether to 98kiss support, a helpline, or a trusted person — is always the right move.

Gambling Do's & Don'ts

These guidelines reflect the difference between gambling as entertainment and gambling as a problem. They apply whether you are playing slots, betting on Liga Super Malaysia, or sitting at a live baccarat table.

Healthy Gambling Habits
  • Set a budget before you start and treat it as the cost of entertainment — not an investment you expect to recover.
  • Use deposit and loss limits to enforce your budget automatically, removing the temptation to override your own decisions in the heat of a session.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, grab a drink, and reset — especially during longer sessions.
  • Keep gambling as one leisure activity among many. Maintain your other hobbies, social connections, and routines.
  • Be honest with yourself and the people around you about how much you gamble and how it makes you feel.
  • Know the odds. Every slot game on 98kiss has a published RTP. Understanding the house edge helps you make informed choices.
Warning Signs to Watch For
  • Do not chase losses. The belief that a win is "due" is a cognitive distortion — each game outcome is independent of the last.
  • Do not gamble when you are stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair your judgment and increase risky behaviour.
  • Do not borrow money to gamble, and never use funds that are earmarked for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses.
  • Do not think of gambling as a way to solve financial problems. The long-term mathematical reality of all casino games means it is not a viable income strategy.
  • Do not ignore the responsible gambling tools available to you. They exist precisely for moments when self-discipline alone is not enough.
  • Do not let gambling interfere with work, family responsibilities, or your physical and mental health. If it already has, please seek support.
