Tools Self-Control We Offer

All tools are accessible directly from your account settings — free, simple, and effective immediately.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a deposit limit based on what you can afford — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits until the period resets. Decreases to your limit take effect immediately, while increases require a 24-hour waiting period.

Daily Loss Limit

Set a cap on the amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once the loss limit is reached, you cannot continue wagering until the next period begins — protecting you from decisions driven by emotion.

Play Time Limit

Control how long you play each session. 20bet will send you a reminder when you are approaching the time limit you have set. Once the time is up, your session will be ended automatically.

Temporary Account Break

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or carry out any transactions. Your account will be automatically reopened once the period ends.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop for a longer period, you may choose self-exclusion for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This option cannot be reversed before the period ends — it is a serious step that we respect fully.

Block Access to Gambling Platforms

We also support the use of third-party software that can block access to all online gambling sites on your device. This additional measure is especially useful for those who require stricter control beyond the platform.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online wagering as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income or an escape from problems. At 20bet, we believe every player deserves a fun experience that does not affect their daily life, finances, or personal relationships.

As a trusted betting platform in Malaysia, 20bet has developed a comprehensive and easily accessible suite of self-exclusion tools. All features are available free of charge to every registered member, and we encourage you to use them as part of a healthy gaming routine.

Remember: Wagering should be a leisure activity, not a source of stress. If it starts feeling more like an obligation than enjoyment, that is a sign to take a break.

We understand that many players in Malaysia play casually without any issues. However, for those who may need support, 20bet is here to help unconditionally and without any judgment. Your safety and well-being are our priority.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the early signs is the single most important first step. Problem gambling rarely happens overnight — it typically develops gradually and often goes unnoticed by the player themselves. Here are some questions you can honestly ask yourself:

1

Have you ever bet with money that was meant for daily necessities such as rent, food, or bills?

2

Do you continue playing even after reaching the loss limit you set for yourself?

3

Have you ever lied to family members or friends about how much time or money you have spent on betting?

4

Do you feel anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when you are unable to bet for a while?

5

Are you chasing losses — continuing to bet in hopes of winning back money you have already lost?

6

Is gambling starting to interfere with your work, studies, or personal relationships?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, we encourage you to use our self-control tools or contact the 20bet support team for further guidance. No one will judge you.

Healthy Play Principles

Responsible players typically practise positive gaming habits. Here is a quick guide we recommend to all 20bet members:

  • Set a budget before playing — Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening any game. Treat that amount as an entertainment cost, not an investment.
  • Play for fun, not for profit — Wins in casino games and sports betting always involve an element of chance. Do not rely on winnings as a source of income.
  • Take regular breaks — Take a break every 30 to 60 minutes during long play sessions. A fresh mind makes better decisions.
  • Do not play when you are emotionally unstable — Work stress, family issues, or a bad mood can lead to irrational betting decisions. Wait until you are in a calmer state of mind.
  • Maintain balance in life — Make sure gambling does not take over time that should be reserved for family, work, hobbies, or other social activities.
  • Avoid betting while consuming alcohol — Impaired judgement from alcohol can lead to poor betting decisions and unnecessary losses.
  • Be open with your loved ones — Let a family member or friend know about your betting activity. Transparency helps you stay accountable.
The best approach is to treat 20bet like a visit to the cinema or a theme park — go in with a set budget, enjoy the experience, and leave when your time or entertainment budget runs out.

Child and Adolescent Protection

20bet strictly prohibits access to our platform by any individual under the age of 18. This is an absolute policy with no exceptions. The following are the measures we take to ensure child protection:

  • Strict age verification at registration — Every new registration goes through a KYC (Know Your Customer) process requiring valid identity document verification.
  • Thorough KYC checks — We verify date of birth through official documents such as MyKad or passport before any deposit or withdrawal is permitted.
  • Active Monitoring — Our security team continuously monitors accounts for any signs that an account may be used by an underage individual.
  • Parent Education — We encourage parents to install parental control software on shared devices to prevent accidental access by children.

If you suspect that an underage individual is using a 20bet account, please report it immediately to our support team. We will investigate and take prompt action.

External Help Resources

If you or someone you know needs professional help regarding a gambling problem, there are several support resources available in Malaysia. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness:

Department of Social Welfare Malaysia

Provides free counselling services for individuals dealing with addiction issues, including gambling.

Befrienders Kuala Lumpur

A voluntary organisation offering emotional support to those feeling distressed or in need of someone to talk to.

Local Psychiatric Hospital

Government hospitals offer treatment for behavioural addictions including gambling through their psychiatry departments.

Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia

A peer support group for those who want to stop gambling, based on a proven 12-step programme.

You do not need to wait until the problem becomes serious before seeking help. Reaching out to a counsellor early is far easier than overcoming a deeply rooted addiction.

Your account balance remains safe during the self-exclusion period. You may contact our support team to arrange a withdrawal of your balance even while under self-exclusion, as the security of your funds is our responsibility.

Yes. Our system actively monitors betting patterns. If we detect significant changes such as a sudden increase in wagering amounts, unusually long play sessions, or loss-chasing behaviour, our team may proactively reach out to offer information about available self-exclusion tools.
