Player Welfare First

Responsible Gambling

At 78ace, we believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress, anxiety, or harm. This page brings together everything you need to gamble safely: our platform tools, honest self-assessment guidance, and direct access to support resources available to Malaysian players.

For Players Aged 21 and Above Only — No Exceptions
Need help right now? If gambling is causing you distress — financially, emotionally, or in your relationships — support is available immediately. You do not need to wait or be a registered 78ace player to access these resources.

Our Commitment to Safe Play

Responsible gambling is not a compliance checkbox at 78ace — it is a genuine, platform-wide commitment that shapes how we design features, train our support team, and engage with players across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and every other corner of Malaysia where our platform is used.

We recognise that for a small number of people, gambling can transition from recreational entertainment into a pattern that causes real harm. Problem gambling does not discriminate — it can affect anyone, regardless of income, education, or background. Early awareness, honest self-assessment, and access to the right tools are the most effective ways to prevent gambling harm from taking hold.

Every player on the 78ace platform has unconditional access to deposit limit controls, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — from the moment they register, without needing to speak to a support agent first. These tools exist because we want our players to remain in control of their gambling at all times.

78ace strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all gaming and betting activity on the platform. We do not permit underage gambling under any circumstances and employ multi-stage age verification to uphold this standard.

Gambling is Entertainment — Not a Financial Solution Gambling should never be used as a way to earn income, repay debts, or recover previous losses. If you find yourself gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, please use our deposit limit tool or contact our support team immediately.

Player Protection Tools at 78ace

Every one of these tools is built into the platform and accessible directly from your account dashboard — no waiting, no long forms, no need to call anyone first.

Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) to control exactly how much you load into your account in any given period. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit is instant. Increasing a limit is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Reminders
Set alerts that notify you when you have been playing for a specified duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval of your choice. The reminder appears as a clear on-screen notification during your session. Staying aware of how long you have been playing is one of the most effective tools for maintaining control.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a short break from the platform without permanently closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 1 month. During a cooling-off period, your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Cooling-off periods cannot be reversed once activated.
Self-Exclusion
Request a permanent or long-term self-exclusion from the 78ace platform. Options range from 6 months to 5 years, or a permanent lifetime exclusion. Once activated, your account is closed, you are removed from all marketing communications, and you cannot re-register for the duration of your exclusion. Your verified real-money balance is returned upon KYC confirmation.
Activity & Loss Statements
Request a full account activity statement covering any period of your choice, showing your net deposits, withdrawals, game-level win/loss figures, and session durations. Having a clear, honest picture of your gambling activity is an important part of staying in control. Statements are delivered to your registered email address within 24 hours.
Reality Check Notifications
Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that interrupt your session to display your net position for that session — how much you have deposited, wagered, won, and lost. Reality checks encourage players to make a conscious, informed decision about whether to continue playing rather than drifting on autopilot through a session.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. The following are common warning signs that gambling may be having a negative impact on your life or the life of someone you know. If you recognise several of these patterns, it is worth reaching out for support sooner rather than later.

Spending more money on gambling than you intended or can afford.
Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to win back money you have lost.
Gambling for longer than you planned, even when you had intended to stop.
Hiding or lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or drawing on savings specifically to gamble.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling.
Neglecting work, family commitments, or personal health because of gambling activity.
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems.

Tips for Staying in Control

Most players who gamble responsibly follow a few simple principles that keep it enjoyable. These are not rules imposed by 78ace — they are habits that experienced, in-control players naturally adopt.

  • Set a Budget Before You Start Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending on entertainment — and treat that amount the same way you would treat the cost of a night out. Use our deposit limit tool to enforce it automatically.
  • Never Chase Losses Losses are part of gambling. Chasing them by placing larger or more frequent bets to "get even" is one of the most reliable paths to serious gambling harm. If you are down, log off and come back another day.
  • Treat Winnings as a Bonus, Not an Income Gambling outcomes are determined by probability and chance — not skill, strategy, or patterns. Do not rely on gambling winnings as part of your household budget.
  • Balance Gambling with Other Activities Keep a healthy balance between gambling and other forms of entertainment and social activity. If gambling is consistently the first thing you think about doing in your free time, that is worth reflecting on.
  • Take Regular Breaks Use session time reminders and step away from the platform regularly. A short walk, a meal, or a conversation with a friend resets your perspective far more effectively than another spin of the reels.
  • Never Gamble Under the Influence Alcohol, certain medications, or emotional distress impair decision-making. Avoid placing bets when your judgment is not at its clearest.

Quick Self-Assessment

This short questionnaire is based on internationally recognised problem gambling screening criteria. It is not a clinical tool — its purpose is to encourage honest reflection about your gambling habits. Answer honestly for yourself, not for an audience.

Have you experienced any of the following in the past 12 months?
Read each statement and consider whether it describes your experience. This is for your own reflection only — your answers are not submitted or stored anywhere.
Have you ever needed to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you felt restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling?
Have you made repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling?
Have you gambled as a way of escaping problems or relieving feelings of helplessness, anxiety, or depression?
After losing, have you felt the need to return as soon as possible to win back what you lost?
Have you lied to family members, friends, or others to conceal your gambling activity or the extent of your losses?
Has gambling caused significant problems in your relationships, employment, or financial situation?
What your answers mean If you answered "Yes" to two or more of these questions, it may be worth speaking to a counsellor or support service about your gambling habits. Answering "Yes" to five or more suggests a pattern that would benefit from professional support. Talian Kasih (15999) offers confidential counselling in Bahasa Melayu and English, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. GamCare provides international online support resources. Both are free to use.

The 78ace Responsible Gambling Pledge

These are the specific commitments 78ace makes to every player on our platform — not aspirations, but accountable standards we hold ourselves to.

01
We Never Market to Vulnerable Players
Players who have activated self-exclusion, cooling-off periods, or deposit limits are immediately removed from all promotional communications. We do not send bonus offers to players displaying signs of gambling harm.
02
We Enforce 21+ Without Compromise
Age verification is mandatory before any real-money gameplay. All accounts are subject to ongoing KYC review. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 are immediately suspended regardless of account balance or VIP status.
03
We Train Our Support Team on Problem Gambling
All 78ace customer support agents — including Bahasa Melayu and Chinese-language agents — receive specific training on identifying problem gambling behaviour, how to respond with empathy, and when to escalate to welfare specialists.
04
We Make Our Tools Easy to Find and Use
Deposit limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion, and activity statements are accessible directly from your account dashboard — not buried in settings menus. No player should have to search for the tools that keep them safe.
05
We Honour Self-Exclusion Immediately
Self-exclusion requests submitted via live chat are activated within 24 hours. During that window, your deposit limit is immediately reduced to RM0. You will not receive any promotional communications after your exclusion is requested.
06
We Monitor for Problem Gambling Patterns
Our responsible gambling monitoring system flags accounts that display behavioural patterns associated with problem gambling — including sudden increases in deposit frequency, extended session durations, and rapid loss chasing — for welfare review.

Common Questions About Responsible Gambling

Log into your 78ace account and navigate to Account Settings, then select Responsible Gambling. You will find the deposit limit controls there. Choose daily, weekly, or monthly limits and enter your preferred MYR amount. The limit takes effect immediately once saved. Reducing a limit is instant. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory 7-day waiting period before the increase becomes active.

A cooling-off period is a temporary account suspension lasting between 24 hours and 1 month. It is designed for players who want a short break. Once the cooling-off period expires, your account automatically reactivates. Self-exclusion, by contrast, is a longer-term commitment — from 6 months up to permanent exclusion — and cannot be reversed during the selected exclusion period. Self-exclusion is appropriate for players who recognise that they need a sustained break from gambling.

No. Any verified real-money balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to you. The return is processed to your most recently used verified Malaysian payment method (Maybank, CIMB, Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, etc.) following confirmation of your KYC documents. Bonus funds that have not yet met their wagering requirements are forfeited upon self-exclusion, as they cannot be withdrawn in any circumstance without completing wagering.

If you are concerned about a family member's gambling on the 78ace platform, please contact our customer support team via live chat with as much detail as you can provide. We take welfare concerns from third parties seriously. For broader support on how to approach a conversation with a loved one about problem gambling, Talian Kasih (15999) provides guidance specifically for family members and friends of people experiencing gambling harm.

The minimum age to register and play on 78ace is 21 years. This requirement is strictly enforced through multi-stage age verification at registration and through ongoing KYC checks. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all activity on that account will be reviewed. 78ace operates a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling and will report confirmed cases to appropriate authorities where required.

Yes. You can request a full activity and loss statement for any period of your choice by contacting our customer support team via live chat. The statement will show your deposit totals, withdrawal totals, net position, game-level activity, and session durations for the requested period. Statements are delivered to your registered email address within 24 hours and are available in English. This information is entirely yours and we encourage players to review it regularly.

Age Verification — 21+ Strictly Enforced

The 78ace platform is available exclusively to individuals aged 21 years and above. This is not merely a policy statement — it is enforced through a rigorous, multi-stage verification process that every player must complete.

At registration, all players are required to confirm their date of birth. Before any withdrawal is processed, full KYC verification is completed, including submission of a valid government-issued identity document (Malaysian MyKad, Driver's Licence, or Passport) and a selfie with ID. The KYC process independently confirms the player's age before any withdrawal is approved.

78ace also employs ongoing account monitoring to flag accounts where there is reason to believe the account may be operated by or on behalf of a minor. Any such account is suspended immediately pending investigation, regardless of its balance or activity history.

If you are a parent, guardian, or carer and are concerned that a minor in your household may have accessed the 78ace platform, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take action without delay.
