Recognising the Signs of Risky Behaviour
It's important to recognise when gambling is starting to have a negative impact on your life. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:
Early Warning Signs
- Feeling the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same level of satisfaction.
- Thinking about gambling constantly, even while doing other things.
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already lost.
- Lying to family members or friends about gambling activity or the amount of money spent.
Signs That Need Immediate Attention
- Using money meant for essential expenses — such as bills, food, or rent — to fund gambling.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or distressed when unable to play.
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
If you recognise one or more of the above signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to act now. Reaching out to the 1800s support team or a mental health professional is both the right move and a brave one.
How to Set Realistic Time and Budget Limits
One of the most effective ways to ensure a healthy gaming experience is to set clear limits before you start playing. Here are some practical guidelines we recommend to all 1800s users:
Budget Limit
- Decide on the maximum amount in MYR (RM) you are comfortable spending on entertainment each week or month.
- Think of money spent on gaming as an entertainment expense — not an investment.
- Stop playing once your budget limit is reached, even if you feel like your luck is in.
Time Limit
- Set a fixed session time — for example, no more than one hour per day.
- Use alarms or a timer on your phone to help you stick to your time limits.
- Avoid playing late at night or during times when you're feeling stressed or emotionally low.
Self-Control Features Available on the Platform
1800s provides several self-control options to help users manage their gaming activity more responsibly.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account to ensure you never deposit more than you planned. Contact our support team to set or update your deposit limit.
If you feel like you need a short break from playing, you can request a temporary cooling-off period. During this time, your account will be restricted from gaming activity, giving you the space to step back and reflect.
For users who need a longer break, the self-exclusion option allows you to suspend your account for an extended period. This is the most effective tool for those who are struggling with uncontrolled gaming habits.
To activate any of the self-control options above, please contact the 1800s support team by email at [email protected]. Your request will be processed promptly and kept strictly confidential.
Minor Protection
1800s strictly prohibits use by anyone under the age of 18. We take the protection of children and minors very seriously.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to:
- Keep your account login details secure and do not share them with children.
- Use parental control software on devices shared with children.
- Have open, honest conversations with your children about the risks of gambling and the importance of financial responsibility.
- Ensure children do not have access to credit cards or bank accounts that could be used to register on gaming platforms.
If you suspect that someone under the age of 18 is using the 1800s platform, please report it to us immediately via [email protected]. The account in question will be investigated and closed immediately if found to be in violation.

Keep Life in Balance
Gaming is just a small part of a balanced life. Always remember that your physical and mental wellbeing, family relationships, career, and other hobbies matter far more than any game.
- Spend quality time with your family and friends.
- Keep up with regular exercise and outdoor activities.
- Seek a counselor or psychologist if you are feeling overwhelmed or struggling with addiction.
Important Reminder: Gambling can be addictive. Please consult a mental health professional or contact a local helpline if you are experiencing gambling-related issues. Play within your means and treat it as entertainment only.
