Responsible Gambling at MBI99
Gambling at mbi99 is meant to be an enjoyable, recreational activity — not a way to generate income or escape personal difficulties. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources we have put in place to help every Malaysian player stay in control and get help if they need it.
How MBI99 Promotes Safe Play
Responsible gambling is not a box-ticking exercise at mbi99. These six commitments are built into how the Platform operates day to day — not just written into a policy document.
Strict 21+ Age Policy
Every new account on mbi99 undergoes identity and age verification. Players under 21 are never permitted to register, deposit, or play — no exceptions. We actively monitor for signs of underage access and act immediately when identified.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your mbi99 account at any time from your account settings. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before activation.
Session Time Reminders
Configure session duration alerts to remind yourself how long you have been playing. These notifications appear at your chosen interval — 30, 60, or 90 minutes — so you never lose track of time during a session.
Self-Exclusion
Request a self-exclusion period of 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is processed within two hours and blocks all access to the Platform including promotional emails. This cannot be reversed before the period ends.
Cool-Off Periods
Need a short break without full self-exclusion? Set a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Your account will be temporarily suspended and reactivated automatically at the end of the period you select.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your net losses reach the threshold you have chosen, your session will end automatically and you will not be able to place further bets until the limit period resets.
When Does Gambling Become a Problem?
For the vast majority of Malaysian players, gambling on mbi99 is a casual, enjoyable pastime — a way to catch some extra excitement around a Liga Super Malaysia fixture or an EPL weekend. But gambling can become problematic for some people, and the warning signs are not always obvious to the person experiencing them.
Problem gambling is recognised as a behavioural condition that can affect people regardless of income, background, or experience. Recognising the signs early is the most effective way to prevent serious harm. If you identify with any of the warning signs listed here, please use our self-exclusion tools or contact one of the support resources on this page.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Experiencing three or more of these on a regular basis is a strong signal that gambling may be negatively affecting your life.
How to Access Your Account Controls
Every mbi99 account includes built-in responsible gambling tools. These are not buried in obscure settings — they are accessible from your main account dashboard. Here is how to access and activate each one.
If you encounter any difficulty accessing these tools or if you need a self-exclusion processed urgently, contact our support team directly via live chat. Self-exclusion requests submitted by live chat or email to [email protected] are actioned within two (2) hours of receipt.
Setting Deposit Limits
Deposit limits can be set for daily, weekly, or monthly periods. Once activated, the limit applies immediately — you cannot deposit more than your chosen threshold within the defined period. To decrease a limit, changes take effect immediately. To increase a limit, a mandatory 7-day waiting period applies before the higher limit is activated.
Requesting Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is available in periods of 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and permanent (indefinite) exclusion. During a self-exclusion period, you will be blocked from logging in, depositing, and receiving any promotional communications from mbi99. Your account balance at the time of exclusion is preserved and will be made available to you upon the end of your chosen period (except in the case of permanent exclusion, where funds will be returned to your verified payment method).
Cool-Off Periods and Session Limits
A cool-off period gives you a short pause without requiring full self-exclusion. Periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days are available directly from your account settings. Session time reminder alerts can be set to notify you after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of continuous play. You can enable both tools simultaneously for an added layer of protection.
How Is Your Relationship With Gambling?
Take a moment to reflect honestly on the questions below. This is not a formal diagnostic tool, but it can help you identify whether your gambling habits deserve a closer look.
Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses such as rent, bills, or groceries?
Have you found yourself placing larger bets than you originally planned in order to get the excitement you were looking for?
Have you tried to win back money you have lost, only to end up losing more in the process?
Have you hidden your gambling activity from your partner, family members, or close friends?
Has gambling caused stress, conflict, or financial tension in your personal relationships?
Have you considered or attempted to borrow money specifically to fund gambling sessions?
Do you find that thoughts about gambling intrude on your daily life, work, or sleep?
Have you felt unable to stop gambling even when you have tried to cut back or quit?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, it may be worth having an honest conversation with yourself — or with a professional — about your gambling habits. This does not mean you have a serious problem, but it is a signal worth taking seriously. mbi99 encourages you to use our self-exclusion or cool-off tools, and to reach out to one of the support organisations listed below. Seeking help early is a sign of strength, not weakness.

We enforce a strict 21+ age requirement with no exceptions — identity verification is mandatory for every new account, and any account found to belong to a person under 21 is immediately closed.

We process all self-exclusion requests within two hours of receipt during operational hours. There is no waiting period, no pressure to reconsider, and no attempt to retain a player who wishes to exclude.

We monitor account behaviour for signs of problem gambling and proactively reach out to players who show patterns of concern, including rapidly increasing bet sizes, extended session durations, or frequent loss-chasing behaviour.

We train all support staff in responsible gambling principles and problem gambling identification so that every player interaction is handled with the appropriate level of care and sensitivity.
