Polobet believes that gambling should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and commitments we have in place to help every player stay in control.
At Polobet, we take our responsibility to Malaysian players seriously. Online betting — whether it is a Liga Super Malaysia match, an EPL derby, a live baccarat session, or a spin on a favourite slot — is meant to be enjoyable. The moment it stops being fun and starts feeling like an obligation, something has gone wrong.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of background, income level, or how long they have been playing. In Malaysia, as in many markets, the risks are real and the impact on families and communities can be significant. Polobet actively invests in responsible gambling tools, player education, and early-intervention systems to reduce those risks.
"A player who gambles within their means and enjoys the experience for what it is — entertainment — is exactly the kind of player Polobet is built for. We are not interested in encouraging excessive play. We are interested in sustainable, enjoyable, responsible play."
This page explains the tools available to you on the Polobet platform, the warning signs of problem gambling to watch out for, and the external support resources available to Malaysian players who need them. Please read it carefully — and share it with anyone you think might benefit.
Polobet enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years old across all services — sports betting, live casino, slots, and every other product on the platform. Age verification is conducted at registration and during KYC. Any account identified as belonging to a person under 21 will be permanently closed and the matter addressed in accordance with our policies and applicable law.
If you suspect a minor has accessed the Polobet platform, please contact our support team immediately.
Problem gambling rarely appears overnight. It typically develops gradually. Recognising the early signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward taking back control.
Betting with money earmarked for rent, groceries, bills, or family expenses — or borrowing money to fund gambling activity.
Placing additional bets specifically to recover money lost in previous sessions, rather than stopping and accepting the loss.
Concealing the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues out of guilt or shame.
Repeatedly attempting to reduce or quit gambling but finding yourself unable to follow through, even when you genuinely want to stop.
Using gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, depression, or other emotional difficulties rather than addressing the underlying issue.
Missing work, skipping family obligations, or neglecting personal health and wellbeing because of time or money spent on gambling activity.
Needing to bet increasingly larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement or engagement — a sign of tolerance developing around gambling behaviour.
Feeling irritable, anxious, or unsettled during periods when you are not gambling, or constantly thinking about your next betting session.
Experiencing significant tension in personal relationships, accumulating debt, or facing financial hardship that is directly linked to gambling losses.
If you recognise three or more of the above signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use the responsible gambling tools available on Polobet — or to speak with a support professional.
Every verified Polobet account has access to the following player-protection tools. They are built into the platform — not hidden away — and are available to request or activate at any time by contacting our support team.
Set a maximum deposit cap on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased for a mandatory cooling-off period — ensuring you cannot impulsively raise your own ceiling in the moment. Limits can be reduced immediately with no waiting period.
Immediate EffectConfigure session alerts that notify you when you have been active on the platform for a set duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval. A gentle reminder to step back, reassess, and make a conscious decision about whether to continue.
CustomisableRequest a temporary break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account is inaccessible for betting activity. This is a short-term measure for players who feel they need a brief pause to reassess their relationship with gambling.
24h / 7d / 30dFor players who feel they need a more significant break, Polobet offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years. Once a self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed during the selected period — no exceptions. All promotional communications will be suppressed immediately.
Up to 5 YearsAll players can access a full transaction and betting history through their account dashboard. Reviewing your actual activity — deposits, withdrawals, net wins or losses — against your budget can be a powerful reality check that helps inform responsible decisions going forward.
Always AvailableYou may close your Polobet account permanently at any time by contacting our support team. Upon closure, any verified real-money balance will be returned to your nominated payment method. Account closure due to problem gambling concerns is processed as a priority and with full confidentiality.
Permanent OptionTo activate any responsible gambling tool, simply contact the Polobet support team via live chat (available 24/7 on the platform) or by email at [email protected]. Our team will process your request promptly and without judgment. Requests to reduce limits or activate self-exclusion are treated as priority actions.
The following questions are designed to help you reflect on your own gambling behaviour. This is not a clinical assessment — it is a simple self-check tool intended to help you identify whether your betting activity remains healthy and within personal boundaries.
Be honest with yourself. The only person who benefits from your honesty here is you.
If you answered "Yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to activate a deposit limit or cooling-off period, speak with someone you trust, and consider reaching out to a gambling support service. You can also contact our support team at any time.
Tick any statement that applies to you. This tool is purely for your own reflection — nothing is recorded or submitted.
If you feel that your gambling has become a problem, please reach out to one of the following support services. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
