Live88 believes the enjoyment of gaming should never come at too high a cost. We are committed to ensuring every member can enjoy our platform in a healthy, controlled and fully responsible way.
For live88, responsible gaming is not just a slogan. It is part of how we build our platform and engage with our members every day. We recognise that online gaming can be a fun source of entertainment — but only when it is done the right way.
Many of us play purely for fun, to unwind or to enjoy the experience of a well-crafted game. And that is perfectly fine. Problems arise when gaming starts to take over other priorities in life — such as finances, family, work and mental health.
Live88 provides a wide range of tools and guides to help you stay in control. From setting daily deposit limits to temporary break options or full account closure — all these options are at your fingertips, available through your account settings whenever you need them.
Decide how much time and money you are willing to spend before starting a session. Stick to those limits even when things seem to be going your way.
Never use money needed for daily necessities, bills, rent or family obligations to play online.
Take a break every 45–60 minutes while playing. Stand up, stretch and step away from the screen briefly to avoid impulsive decisions.
One of the most dangerous habits in gaming is trying to recover losses by betting bigger. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and stop at the right time.
Make sure online gaming is only a small part of your lifestyle. Set aside time for family, friends, hobbies and offline physical activities.
Asking for help when needed is a sign of strength, not weakness. The live88 team and external agencies are ready to assist without judgement.
Live88 provides a variety of practical tools you can use on your own to ensure your gaming experience stays positive and in control.
Set the maximum deposit amount you allow within a daily, weekly or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, the live88 system will automatically block additional deposits until the limit period resets.
Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb within a given period. The system will automatically stop gameplay once that limit is reached, protecting you from excessive losses.
Set your maximum session duration. live88 will send a reminder before your time limit is reached and automatically log you out if the limit is exceeded.
Need a short break? Activate cool-off mode for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make deposits, giving you space to think clearly.
If you need a longer break, the self-exclusion option lets you block account access for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or permanently — with no questions asked and no pressure.
Track your gaming history, total deposits, wins and losses in detail through your account dashboard. Self-awareness starts with understanding your own playing habits.
Problem gambling rarely happens suddenly. It usually develops gradually, and many people do not realise they are affected until the situation becomes serious. Recognising the early signs is the most important first step.
Using gaming as an escape from work stress, family issues or persistent anxiety is a warning sign that deserves serious attention.
If your thoughts frequently drift to the next gaming session even while working, eating or spending time with family, this shows that gaming has begun to dominate your mind.
Borrowing from friends, family or using a credit card solely to fund your gaming is a clear red flag that requires immediate action.
If you have repeatedly tried to cut down or stop playing but failed, this indicates that self-control has been compromised and professional help may be needed.
Lying to loved ones about the time or money spent on gaming is a sign that you yourself know something is not right.
Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, consider talking to someone you trust or contacting a helpline.
Have you ever played longer or spent more money than you originally planned?
Have you ever tried to chase back money you lost by continuing to play?
Does gaming make you feel restless, irritable or stressed when you are unable to play?
Have you ever neglected work, family or health responsibilities because of online gaming?
Have people close to you ever expressed concern about your gaming habits?
