Our Commitment to Safe Play
At qr88, gambling is meant to be an enjoyable leisure activity — not a source of financial stress or distress. We take responsible gaming seriously and have built concrete tools into our platform so that every player in Malaysia can stay in control of their spend, time and habits.
This page explains what qr88 does to support safe play, what tools are available to you, how to request limits or self-exclusion, and where to find independent help if you need it. We encourage you to read through this before you start playing.
18+ Only. qr88 strictly prohibits gambling by anyone under 18 years of age. All accounts are subject to age verification before any withdrawal is processed.
Who This Policy Applies To
This responsible gaming policy applies to all registered qr88 accounts, regardless of membership tier. Whether you are a Bronze-tier casual player or a Black Diamond high-roller, the same protections and tools are available to you. Responsible gaming is not a premium feature — it is a baseline right for every player.
Players who are or have been in treatment for gambling-related issues, or who have previously completed a self-exclusion period on any platform, are encouraged to contact our 24/7 Live Chat before opening or reinstating an account.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step towards addressing it early. Consider whether any of the following apply to you or someone you know:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you originally planned.
- Chasing losses — placing bigger bets to win back money already lost.
- Gambling with money set aside for rent, bills or daily expenses.
- Feeling irritable, anxious or restless when you try to stop.
- Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends.
- Neglecting work, studies or important responsibilities because of gambling.
- Borrowing money specifically to fund gambling.
If two or more of these sound familiar, we strongly recommend using the self-assessment tools listed in the Getting Help section below, and speaking to our support team about activating account restrictions.
Tools You Can Use on qr88
qr88 provides several account-level tools that you can activate at any time by contacting our 24/7 Live Chat. There is no waiting period to apply a limit — restrictions take effect immediately.
Deposit Limits
You can set a maximum deposit amount per day, week or month. Once the limit is reached, further top-ups are blocked until the period resets. Reducing an existing limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit requires a 48-hour cooling-off period before it applies.
Session Time Reminders
Request a session timer through Live Chat. You will receive an in-app notification after your chosen duration (30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes). The reminder does not force a logout but prompts you to review whether you want to continue.
Cooling-Off Period
A cooling-off period temporarily pauses your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During this time you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. Your balance is preserved and withdrawals can still be processed after identity verification. Contact Live Chat to request one.
Reality Check
Ask our support team to enable periodic net-session balance notifications. These show your total wagered amount and net result for the current session, giving you an honest picture of your activity without interrupting gameplay.
Self-Exclusion Process
Self-exclusion is a formal, binding restriction. Once applied, your account is suspended for the chosen duration and cannot be reopened early under any circumstances — including if you contact support and request reinstatement. qr88 treats self-exclusion requests with the same urgency as a security issue.
-
Contact 24/7 Live Chat
Open the Live Chat window and tell the agent you want to self-exclude. You do not need to explain your reasons. The agent will not attempt to dissuade you.
-
Choose Your Duration
Select 6 months, 1 year, 3 years or permanent exclusion. Permanent exclusion can only be reversed after a mandatory 5-year waiting period and a formal written request.
-
Confirm Your Identity
The agent will verify your account holder details. This step prevents third parties from activating exclusion on your behalf without your knowledge.
-
Exclusion Takes Effect
Your account is suspended within minutes. Any pending bonus offers are cancelled. Your available balance is retained and can be withdrawn once KYC documents are verified.
-
Withdraw Your Remaining Balance
Submit your KYC documents (National ID Card, Passport or Driving Licence) if not already verified. Withdrawals to your registered bank or e-wallet are processed within 12 minutes after approval.
Important: Self-exclusion on qr88 applies only to your account on this platform. If you want a broader restriction, contact the independent helplines listed below — they can assist with multi-platform exclusion processes.

Protecting Minors
qr88 does not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register or gamble on our platform. During registration, we collect your date of birth and require that you confirm you are of legal age. Age is additionally verified as part of the KYC process that must be completed before your first withdrawal.
If you share a device with children or teenagers, we recommend using parental control software to block access to gambling websites. Reputable tools available in Malaysia include Net Nanny and Kaspersky Safe Kids. Keep your qr88 login credentials private and never save passwords on shared devices.
If you suspect that a minor has accessed a gambling account — including your own — contact our 24/7 Live Chat immediately. We will freeze the account pending investigation and work with you to resolve the situation.
Getting Help in Malaysia
If gambling is causing problems in your life or the life of someone close to you, independent support is available. The following services operate in Malaysia and are free to contact:
- Befrienders Kuala Lumpur — Crisis and emotional support helpline, available around the clock.
- Mental Health Psychosocial Support Service (MHPSS) — Part of the Ministry of Health Malaysia; provides counselling referrals nationwide.
- Talian Kasih 15999 — Government social welfare hotline; covers financial distress and family counselling.
- Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia — Peer support group meetings for people dealing with compulsive gambling.
You do not need to be in crisis to call. Speaking to someone early, before the problem grows, is the most effective course of action. qr88 support staff can also direct you to appropriate resources when you contact us via Live Chat.
Common Questions
Can I set a deposit limit without closing my account?
Yes. Deposit limits are separate from account suspension. You can set a daily, weekly or monthly cap through 24/7 Live Chat and continue playing within that boundary. Your account remains fully active.
How long does self-exclusion take to process?
Once our Live Chat agent verifies your identity, your account is suspended within minutes. You will receive a confirmation message. The exclusion period begins from the moment of suspension, not from the time you first contacted us.
Can I withdraw my balance during a cooling-off period?
Yes. Withdrawals are permitted during a cooling-off period. You cannot deposit or place bets, but any balance already in your account can be cashed out once your KYC documents have been verified. The minimum withdrawal is RM 20 and processing takes approximately 12 minutes.
What happens to my active bonuses when I self-exclude?
All pending bonus offers and incomplete wagering requirements are cancelled at the point of self-exclusion. Only verified real-money balances are retained and can be withdrawn. Bonuses are not reinstated when the exclusion period ends.
I excluded myself but I think I am ready to play again. What do I do?
For exclusions of 6 months, 1 year or 3 years, you can contact Live Chat after the full period has elapsed. There is a mandatory 7-day reflection period before reinstatement is processed — this is non-negotiable and cannot be waived. For permanent exclusions, a minimum 5-year wait and formal written request are required.
Does qr88 offer any support for problem gambling beyond account tools?
Our Live Chat team is trained to respond to responsible gaming concerns sensitively and without judgement. We can help you activate any of the tools listed on this page and provide referrals to the helplines mentioned above. We do not offer professional counselling directly, but we will always point you towards the right resources.
