Mq8's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

We believe every member deserves to enjoy online entertainment in a healthy way. Here are the six core pillars of our approach.

Flexible Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, our system ensures you cannot exceed it — you are fully in control.

Take a Break from Gaming

Need a short break? Use the "Cooling-Off" feature to pause your gaming activity for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account remains safe and can be used again after the break period.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is starting to have a negative impact, you may apply for permanent self-exclusion. This will fully block your access to the mq8 platform and cannot be reversed immediately.

Loss & Wagering Limits

In addition to deposit limits, you can also set a maximum loss limit per session or over a specific period, as well as a total wagering limit. This helps you stay within your planned budget.

Periodic Reality Checks

The mq8 platform sends periodic reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent in the current session. This information helps you make more informed decisions.

Expert Support & Resources

The mq8 support team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and provide referrals to professional support organisations. You don't have to face this alone.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online gambling purely as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income, an escape from problems, or a way to meet emotional needs. At mq8, we take this seriously because we know that behind every big win, there are also challenging moments.

For most members, playing at mq8 is a relaxing and enjoyable pastime — much like watching a film or dining out. However, we recognise that a small number of people may find it difficult to manage their gaming habits. That's why we invest in systems, tools, and procedures that help every member stay fully in control.

The core principles of responsible gaming at mq8 are simple: only play with money you can afford to lose, set your limits before you start, and always put your daily needs before entertainment.

Responsible gaming is not just a slogan for us. It is an operational principle that guides every product and service decision at mq8 in Malaysia.

Control Measures We Provide

Mq8 provides a range of practical tools that you can use at any time through your account settings:

1
Set Deposit Limit

Log in to your account, go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Limits". You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately, and any request to increase a limit is subject to a 7-day waiting period.

2
Activate Loss Limit

Set the maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once this limit is reached, the system will automatically block any additional wagering until the limit period resets.

3
Use Time Reminders

Enable session time reminder notifications that appear every 30, 60, or 90 minutes during gameplay. These reminders show how long you've been playing and help you decide whether it's time to take a break.

4
Take a Temporary Break

If you feel pressured or unable to stop even when you have planned to, use the cooling-off feature. During the break period, you will not be able to log in to your mq8 account and all promotional notifications will be paused.

5
Apply for Self-Exclusion

This is the most drastic option, but sometimes the most necessary. Self-exclusion means you voluntarily close access to your mq8 account for a minimum period of six months up to permanently. Contact our support team and we will process your request promptly, no questions asked.

Warning Signs You Should Know

It's important to recognise the early signs that gambling may be starting to have a negative impact on your life. The sooner it's detected, the easier it is to get help:

Feeling the need to increase your wager amount 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 your gambling habits or how much money you've spent on gambling.
Using money meant for essential needs such as rent, bills, or food to gamble.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when unable to gamble or forced to stop.
Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to spending too much time gambling.
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
Constantly thinking about gaming even while doing other activities.
Important: If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to contact the mq8 support team or a relevant gambling assistance organisation immediately.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer the following questions honestly to assess your relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical test, but it can give you an early indication of whether you may need further support:

S1

Have you ever taken time off work or school just to gamble?

S2

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships with loved ones?

S3

Have you ever gambled until your last dollar was gone?

S4

Have you ever tried to stop gambling but failed?

S5

Do you gamble to cope with stress, anxiety, or feelings of sadness?

S6

Have you ever considered illegal means to obtain money for gambling?

If you answered "Yes" to two or more of the questions above, we recommend speaking with the mq8 support team or contacting a professional counsellor for further assessment.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Yes, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits at any time through the "Account Settings" section on the mq8 platform. Limits take effect immediately. If you wish to increase a limit, a mandatory 7-day waiting period applies to protect you from impulsive decisions.

A cooling-off period is a short pause ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. Once the period ends, your account will be reactivated automatically. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a long-term option — a minimum of 6 months — where your account is fully blocked and cannot be reopened immediately. Both options can be requested via your account settings or by contacting mq8 support.

Yes. All mq8 members must verify that they are at least 18 years old during registration. Our KYC (Know Your Customer) process includes identity document verification to ensure no underage individuals can access our platform. This is not only a legal requirement but also our ethical commitment.

You can reach the mq8 support team via 24/7 live chat or email at [email protected] for immediate guidance and referrals to professional counsellors. You may also contact local gambling support organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia or Talian Kasih 15999, which provide free and confidential counselling services.

If you apply for self-exclusion, any remaining balance in your account can be withdrawn through the standard withdrawal process. The mq8 support team will assist you in processing the withdrawal. Your funds are safe and will not be lost even while your account is under self-exclusion status.
