Tools Self-Control at Kedai88

We provide a range of protection features that you can activate directly from your account

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a deposit limit that suits your financial comfort — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, our system will automatically block additional deposits for that period.

Play Time Limit

Set a session time limit so you never lose track of time. The system will send an alert when your play time is approaching the limit you have set.

Temporary Self-Timeout

Need a short break? Use the self-timeout feature to temporarily suspend account access — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. No questions asked, your privacy is fully protected.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

For those who need a more definitive step, the permanent self-exclusion option allows you to close your account for good. This decision is irreversible and we respect it fully.

Activity History Review

Track your full history of gaming activity, deposits, and withdrawals in one easy-to-read dashboard. Awareness of your playing patterns is the first step toward effective control.

Real-Time Alerts

Receive automatic notifications when you are approaching a set limit — whether a deposit limit, loss limit, or time limit. Alerts are sent via the app and your registered email.

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of values and practices that keep gambling and digital entertainment as a source of enjoyment — not stress, not financial burden, and not obsession. At Kedai88, we view this responsibility as a two-way commitment: our platform is responsible for providing a safe and controlled environment, while members are responsible for understanding their own limits and playing within their means.

Gambling in any form — slots, live casino, fish shooting, or sports betting — carries financial risk. It is important to understand that no strategy or system can guarantee consistent wins. Every game has a house edge, and outcomes depend entirely on luck and random chance.

Playing responsibly means only gambling with money you can afford to lose, setting clear time and spending limits, and never borrowing money for gambling. It also means recognising early warning signs and taking action before the situation gets worse.

Core Principles: Gaming should be entertainment, not a source of income. If you find yourself relying on wins to cover living expenses, this is a serious warning sign that needs to be addressed immediately.

Problem Gambling Warning Signs

Gambling problems rarely appear out of nowhere. They typically develop gradually and can be difficult to spot in the early stages — especially by the person affected. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

  • Thinking about gambling almost constantly and planning your next session
  • Needing to bet more to feel the same level of excitement as before
  • Feeling anxious, irritable or uncomfortable when trying to cut down or stop gambling
  • Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or life problems
  • Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money already lost
  • Lying to family members or friends about your gaming habits and the amount of money spent
  • Borrowing money, selling belongings, or dipping into emergency savings to gamble
  • Neglecting work, family, or academic responsibilities due to gambling
  • Has tried to stop or cut back on gambling but was unable to do so

Important: If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to contact the kedai88 support team or seek assistance from a qualified mental health professional. Acknowledging a problem is the single most courageous and meaningful first step you can take.

Self-Assessment — Am I Playing Responsibly?

Answer the following questions honestly to assess your gaming habits. This is not an official medical test, but it can help you identify whether you should seek additional support.

1

Have you ever missed work, school, or an important family event because of gambling?

2

Has gambling caused serious financial problems for you or your family?

3

Have you ever felt the need to hide or lie about your gambling activity?

4

Have you ever gambled until your last cent was gone, including money set aside for daily necessities?

5

Have you ever felt anxious, guilty, or distressed after a gambling session?

6

Do you often chase losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost?

If your answer is "yes" to two or more of these questions, we recommend using the self-exclusion tools available in your kedai88 account, or speaking confidentially with our support team for further guidance.

How to Use kedai88's Self-Control Tools

All self-control tools at Kedai88 are designed to be easily accessible and usable without requiring approval or verification from any third party. Here are the steps to activate them:

1
Login to Your Account

Access your kedai88 account via the website or mobile app. Make sure you log in with the correct credentials.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click the profile icon at the top right of the screen, then select "Account Settings" or "Security & Controls".

3
Select the Responsible Gaming Section

In the settings menu, look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control" section. All protection tools are listed there with a brief guide.

4
Set Limits or Activate Self-Timeout

Choose the type of control you need — deposit limit, time limit, self-timeout, or permanent exclusion. Enter your preferred limit value and duration.

5
Confirm and Save

Your settings will take effect immediately upon confirmation. Limits that have been set cannot be increased right away — there is a 24–48 hour cooling-off period as an added layer of protection.

Important Note: Self-control limits can only be reduced immediately, but a cooling-off period is required before they can be raised again. This is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions made in an emotional state.

Responsible Gaming Guide at Kedai88

Here is a practical guide we recommend to all kedai88 members to ensure a positive and sustainable gaming experience in the long run:

  • Set a budget before you play — Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening any game. Stick to that limit without exception.
  • Treat money spent as the cost of entertainment — Just like watching a movie or dining out, the cost of play is an entertainment expense — not an investment expected to return a profit.
  • Do not play when you are emotionally unstable — Avoid gambling when you are stressed, sad, angry, or under the influence of alcohol. Decisions made in such states are rarely sound.
  • Take regular breaks — Every 30–60 minutes of play, take a break of at least 10 minutes. Stand up, stretch, and reassess your state of mind.
  • Do not chase losses — If you have reached your loss limit for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to even greater losses.
  • Balance with other activities — Keep gambling as just a small part of your social and leisure life. Maintain other interests and hobbies that do not involve money.
  • Do not use credit or loans — Only use disposable funds you can truly set aside. Using loans or credit cards to gamble is a serious warning sign.

Pro Tip: Use the "Activity History" feature in your account to review your play patterns every week. If you notice your playing time or deposit amounts increasing week on week without a clear reason, use the deposit limit or self-exclusion tools to stabilise your habits.

  • Keep your login credentials secure and do not share them with anyone
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account as an extra layer of security

FAQ — Responsible Gaming

Deposit limits can be reduced immediately at any time. However, to increase or cancel a limit, a mandatory cooling-off period of 24–48 hours applies before the change takes effect. This is a protective mechanism designed to prevent impulsive decisions.

During a self-timeout period, your account balance remains safe and unaffected. You will not be able to log in, make deposits, play, or place bets. However, you may contact customer support to process a withdrawal of your existing balance if needed.
