Play for Entertainment, Not for Escape

For most people, playing at an online casino is a way to unwind and have fun after a long day — much like watching a movie or going out for a meal with friends. It is entertainment, nothing more. And that is how tv88 wants all its members to see this platform.

Tv88 also recognizes that for a small number of individuals, gambling can develop into something harder to control. Not because they are weak — but because problem gambling is a real health issue, and it can affect anyone without clear warning signs.

Shared Responsibility

Tv88 believes that responsible gaming is a shared responsibility — between the platform and its members. We provide the tools, information, and support. You make the decision to use them. Together, we can ensure that gaming remains something enjoyable and within your control.

There is no shame in using the control tools we provide. In fact, it is a sign of maturity and wisdom in managing your time and money. Many tv88 members use deposit limits or time limits not because they "have a problem" — but simply because they are smart about managing their personal finances.

Gambling Is Not a Source of Income

This is something tv88 wants to emphasise to all members: gambling is not a way to earn a steady income or solve financial problems. All casino games have a house edge, meaning the house always wins in the long run. The real value of a casino gaming experience is the entertainment itself — not the money you might win.

If you find yourself playing to "chase losses" or using money meant for daily necessities, these are serious warning signs that require your immediate attention.

tv88 Core Principles: Set your limits before you start playing, not after. Decide how much time and money you are comfortable spending today — and stick to that decision.

Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, consider speaking with someone.

1
Have you ever played longer or spent more than you planned?
2
Do you play to "chase" money you have lost?
3
Is gambling affecting your relationships with family or friends?
4
Do you hide your gambling activity from loved ones?
5
Do you borrow money or sell assets to keep gambling?
6
Do you feel restless or uneasy when you are unable to gamble?

If you answered "Yes" to several of the questions above, we encourage you to contact tv88 customer support or use the available control tools.

Control Tools Responsible Gaming TV88

All of these tools can be activated directly through your account or by contacting the tv88 customer support team. No questions are off-limits — your privacy is fully protected.

Daily & Weekly Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit in a day or a week. Once the limit is reached, the system automatically blocks any additional deposits until the limit period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately but require a waiting period to increase — giving you time to think twice.

Session Time Limit

Control how long you play in a single session or per day. When your time limit is about to expire, the platform will display a warning. Once the limit is reached, the session will end automatically. This helps you maintain a healthy balance between gaming and daily life.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers. Your balance is safe and will be accessible again once the cooling-off period ends.

Temporary Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, the self-suspension feature lets you freeze your account for 1 to 12 months. During this period, your account is fully inactive. This is a proactive step that many members use as a "reset" toward healthier playing habits.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

For those who decide to stop completely, permanent self-exclusion closes your account permanently. Any eligible balance will be processed for withdrawal. This decision is final and tv88 is committed to honoring it fully without questions or any persuasion to continue playing.

Marketing Communication Controls

You can opt out of receiving any promotional emails, bonus offers, or marketing notifications from tv88 at any time. Simply update your communication preferences in your account settings or contact our customer support.

How to Activate: All account controls above are accessible directly through your account settings page on the tv88 platform or mobile app. You can also reach our customer support via 24/7 live chat for immediate assistance in activating any of these tools.

Warning Signs Warning to Watch Out For

Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It usually grows gradually. Recognise these early warning signs so you can act before things become more serious.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play after a loss in hopes of "winning back" what you lost. This is one of the clearest and most dangerous warning signs.

Hiding Activity

Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you have spent on gambling.

Using Essential Funds

Spending money that should go toward rent, bills, food, or family needs on gambling.

Gambling-Dominated Thoughts

Constantly thinking about when to play next, planning strategies, or tying your mood to the outcome of a game.

Borrowing Money to Gamble

Borrowing from family, friends, or financial institutions specifically to continue gambling.

Extreme Mood Swings

Extreme elation when winning and excessive sadness or anger when losing — to the point of affecting relationships and daily life.

Playing Tips In a Healthy Way

Playing responsibly makes the casino experience more enjoyable and sustainable. These are the best practices tv88 recommends to all members.

Set a budget before you play

Decide how much you are willing to lose today — and treat it as the cost of entertainment, just like a movie ticket.

Play for fun, not to win

Wins are a welcome bonus, not a guarantee. Enjoy the game itself as entertainment.

Take regular breaks

Get up, stretch, and step away from the screen every 30 to 60 minutes. It helps you make better decisions.

Do not play in an emotional state

Avoid playing when you are angry, sad, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol. Poor decisions are made in emotional states.

Never play with borrowed money

Only use disposable funds that you can afford to lose without affecting your finances or daily life.

Use the available control tools

Deposit limits, time limits, and self-suspension are not just for those with a "problem" — they are smart management tools for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions about Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by tv88 members about responsible gaming features and how to get help.

Need Immediate Help?

Our support team is here to help

If you or someone you know needs help with problem gambling, contact the tv88 support team via live chat on the platform — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

All communications with our support team are strictly confidential. No information will be shared without your consent.

Log in to your tv88 account and go to the Account Settings section. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Control Limits" option. From there, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Reduced limits take effect immediately, while limit increases require a waiting period to ensure you have given it careful thought.

For temporary self-exclusion (cooling-off), there is a minimum waiting period before it can be cancelled — this is intentionally designed to ensure you have sufficient time to reconsider your decision. For permanent self-exclusion, the decision is final and cannot be reversed. Contact customer support for more details about your specific case.

Your account balance is safe throughout the suspension period. Your funds will not be lost or used while the account is inactive. When the suspension period ends (for temporary suspension), you can regain access to your account and withdraw your balance. For permanent self-exclusion, any eligible balance will be processed for withdrawal once the account is closed.

Members who have activated self-suspension or self-exclusion will not receive any marketing communications or bonus offers from tv88. We fully respect your decision. For members using deposit limits or time limits only, you may still receive general promotions — but you can opt out of marketing communications at any time through your account settings.

This is a situation that calls for an empathetic approach. Start with an open, non-judgmental conversation. Share your concerns clearly and calmly. Encourage them to speak with a health professional or counsellor. You can also contact the tv88 support team for guidance on how to help your loved one, including the possibility of requesting a third-party restriction on their account.
