At msg88, your wellbeing comes first. We're committed to providing a safe, controlled gaming environment with comprehensive tools and resources to help you play responsibly.
Strictly 21+ OnlyOnline gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal hardship. msg88 recognizes that for a small percentage of users, gaming can become problematic, leading to financial difficulties, strained relationships, and emotional distress. We take our responsibility seriously and have implemented a comprehensive Responsible Gaming program designed to prevent problem gambling, identify at-risk behavior early, and provide effective intervention resources.
Our approach is built on three core principles: prevention through education and awareness; empowerment through self-management tools that give you control over your gaming activity; and intervention through professional support resources for users who recognize they need help. Every member of the msg88 team, from customer service representatives to senior management, is trained to recognize warning signs of problem gambling and respond with compassion, confidentiality, and appropriate resource referrals.
We believe that sustainable, healthy gaming requires conscious decision-making. Before you place a bet, deposit funds, or launch a game, ask yourself: Can I afford to lose this money? Is gaming interfering with my work, family, or personal responsibilities? Am I chasing losses or gambling to escape problems? If you answer yes to any of these questions, it may be time to step back and reassess your relationship with gaming.
msg88 services are exclusively intended for adults aged 21 years or older, in compliance with Indonesian legal standards and international responsible gaming best practices. Underage gambling is illegal, harmful, and strictly prohibited on our platform. We have implemented robust age verification measures to prevent minors from accessing our services:
If msg88 discovers that a user is under 21 years of age, we will immediately and permanently close the account, void all bets, and forfeit all funds without refund. We may also report the incident to relevant authorities and the minor's parents or guardians. Providing false information about your age constitutes fraud and may result in criminal prosecution.
msg88 provides a comprehensive suite of self-management tools that empower you to set limits, monitor your activity, and take breaks when needed. These tools are free, easy to use, and accessible directly through your account settings. We encourage all users, regardless of whether they feel at risk, to proactively establish limits as a preventive measure.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amounts to control how much money you can add to your account within a specified time period. Once a limit is reached, you will be unable to deposit additional funds until the limit resets. Deposit limits take effect immediately when increased (to prevent chasing losses) but have a 24-hour cooling-off period when reduced or removed (to discourage impulsive changes during emotional moments).
Establish maximum loss thresholds over daily, weekly, or monthly periods. When your net losses reach the specified amount, you will be restricted from placing additional bets until the limit resets. This tool helps prevent devastating financial losses during unlucky streaks and ensures you never lose more than you can afford.
Receive automatic notifications after specified durations of continuous play (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.). These reminders help you maintain awareness of time spent gaming, which can easily be lost during immersive play sessions. Research shows that time awareness is one of the most effective interventions for preventing excessive gaming.
Temporarily suspend your account for a predefined period—24 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days—if you feel you need a break but aren't ready for permanent self-exclusion. During a cooling-off period, you will be unable to log in, deposit funds, place bets, or access any gaming features. Marketing communications will also be suspended. After the cooling-off period expires, your account will automatically reactivate, giving you time to reflect and return with a fresh perspective.
If you recognize that gaming is negatively impacting your life and you need to stop entirely, you can request permanent self-exclusion. This irreversible action will immediately and permanently close your account. All pending bets will be settled, remaining funds will be returned to your registered payment method (minus any bonus funds or funds obtained through fraudulent activity), and you will be permanently banned from creating new accounts on msg88. Self-exclusion requests are processed immediately and cannot be reversed. If you attempt to create a new account after self-exclusion, it will be detected and closed.
Log into your msg88 account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, and configure your preferred limits and restrictions. Changes take effect immediately (except for limit reductions, which have a 24-hour delay). If you need assistance or have questions about these tools, contact our support team at [email protected], and they will guide you through the process with complete confidentiality.
