About Us

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying betting and online gaming as a form of entertainment — not as a way to generate income or escape life's pressures. The 18j platform was built with this approach at its core, not as an afterthought.

Many Malaysian players enjoy casino games, bingo, fish shooting, and sports betting as fun entertainment activities. As long as it's done within reasonable limits and with money genuinely set aside for entertainment, there's no major cause for concern. Problems begin when players start chasing losses, borrowing money to play, or feeling like they can't stop even when they want to.

At 18j, we provide tools that keep you in control. We also train our support team to identify early warning signs and offer assistance to users who may need additional support. For us, this is not just a legal obligation — it is a core value we uphold.

Remember: Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income. Set your limits before playing and stick to them with discipline.
Core Principles of Responsible Gaming
  • Set spending limit before starting a playing session
  • Do not try to chasing losses — it is the most common trap
  • Only play with surplus funds, not money meant for essential needs
  • Take regular breaks and avoid playing continuously for hours
  • Do not play when stressed or intoxicated
  • Remember that wins are not guaranteed — outcomes are random
Control Tools

Six Tools Self-Control on the 18j Platform

All these tools are accessible directly through your account settings. We've designed them to be easy to use, and once activated, they take effect immediately.

Deposit Limit
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit
Set a maximum limit on the total deposit amount you can add to your account within a specified period. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block further deposits until the period resets. This is the easiest way to ensure your playing budget stays within the limits you set.
Loss Limit
Maximum Loss Limit
Set the maximum loss amount you're comfortable with per day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, your play session will be temporarily ended. This tool is especially useful for preventing loss-chasing habits, which can become harmful.
Session Limit
Play Session Duration Limit
Limit how long you can play in a single continuous session. The system will warn you when you are approaching the limit and will automatically log you out once the time limit is reached. Helps you balance time between gaming and other life activities.
Self-Exclusion
Temporary Self-Exclusion Break
Need a short break from the platform? Activate a self-break for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days based on your needs. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or make any deposits. Your account remains safe and your balance is unaffected.
Self-Exclusion
Long-Term Self-Exclusion
For those who need more serious measures, self-exclusion allows you to close access to your account for a minimum period of 6 months up to permanently. Requests are processed by our team within 24 hours and cannot be reversed until the selected period ends.
Reality Check
Reality Check Reminders
Activate periodic reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These reminders help you make more mindful decisions during play sessions and prompt you to take a break when needed.
Warning Signs

Recognise Signs Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely appears out of nowhere. It develops gradually. Recognising the early signs is the single most important first step. If you see yourself in any of the points below, it's time to pause and seek help.

1
Playing longer or spending more than you originally planned.
2
Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
3
Lying to loved ones about how much time or money is spent on gambling.
4
Borrowing money or selling assets to obtain money for gambling.
5
Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when not playing or trying to stop.
6
Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to spending too much time playing.
7
Using gambling as a form of escape from problems, depression, or life stress.
Self-Assessment

Self-Assessment Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more of them, we encourage you to use our control tools or seek professional support.

1
Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for bills or daily necessities?
2
Do you often think about gambling even while doing something else?
3
Have you ever felt the need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
4
Have you ever tried to stop or reduce gambling but been unable to do so?
5
Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships with family or friends?
6
Are you hiding your gambling activity from people you care about?
If you answered "yes" to 3 or more questions, please contact the 18j support team or seek professional help.

FAQ Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about 18j's control tools and responsible gaming policies.

Log in to your account and go to Account Settings, then select Responsible Gaming. There you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits you set take effect immediately. To increase a limit, a 7-day waiting period applies as an additional safeguard.

No — self-exclusion is final until the period you selected ends. This is intentional, as the purpose is to give you a genuinely effective break. For a shorter period, you can use the Self-Exclusion that is more flexible.

Your account balance stay safe during the break period. You cannot play or make deposits, but your existing balance is unaffected. To withdraw your balance during a self-exclusion period, please contact our support team, who will process your request in accordance with standard security procedures.

Common warning signs to watch out for include: chasing losses, lying about gambling activity, using essential funds for gambling, feeling restless when not playing, and neglecting work or family responsibilities. If you recognise these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please contact the 18j support team for guidance.
