BCB88 believes that gaming should always be an enjoyable experience. We provide the tools, information, and support to help every Malaysian player stay in control.
BCB88 takes responsible gambling seriously. We are committed to ensuring that every player on our platform — from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, from Johor Bahru to Kota Kinabalu — has access to tools and information that help them maintain healthy gaming habits.
"Play for fun. Set your limits before you start. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose."
The reality of gambling is straightforward: the house has a mathematical edge in all casino games. Whether you are at a live baccarat table, spinning slots, or wagering on EPL fixtures, the expected return over time means that gambling should never be relied upon as a source of income. BCB88 communicates this honestly, without exception.
We recognise that for a small percentage of players, gambling can transition from entertainment to a problem that affects their finances, relationships, and wellbeing. This page exists to help you recognise the warning signs early, understand the tools available to you on BCB88, and know where to turn if you or someone you know needs support.
All responsible gambling tools on BCB88 are available immediately — no waiting period, no approval process. They are built into your Account settings and can be activated at any time. Our 24/7 support team is trained to respond to responsible gambling requests with care and without judgement.
All tools are available immediately in your Account settings. No delays, no forms to fill in offline. Activate them now — before you need them.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Instant ActivationRequest a temporary self-exclusion period of 30, 90, or 180 days, or choose permanent self-exclusion. During exclusion, your account is locked, all promotional communications are stopped, and you will not be able to access BCB88 Services. Self-exclusions are processed immediately upon request.
Permanent Option AvailableSet a maximum session duration. When your time limit is reached, you will receive a notification and the system will prompt you to take a break. You can configure reminders at 30-minute intervals from the point of login.
Customisable IntervalsTake a short break from the platform without committing to a full self-exclusion. Choose a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 7 days. Your account is temporarily deactivated but your balance is preserved for when you return.
No Balance ImpactCap the total amount you are willing to lose over a defined period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be prevented from placing further bets until the period ends. This tool is particularly effective for session management during sports betting on EPL and Liga Super Malaysia fixtures.
Daily / Weekly / MonthlyReceive periodic pop-up reminders showing your current session duration and net win/loss position. These reminders appear at intervals you set and are designed to provide honest, real-time context about your gambling activity without disrupting gameplay.
Always-On OptionActivating Your Tools: All responsible gambling tools can be accessed directly via the Account Settings section of your BCB88 profile. Changes to limits that restrict your activity (e.g., reducing deposit limits, activating cool-off) take effect immediately. If you need assistance locating these settings, our live chat support team is available 24/7.
Problem gambling does not always look obvious. Being honest with yourself about these patterns is the first and most important step toward getting support.
Continuing to gamble after significant losses in an attempt to win back what was lost, often with increasingly larger bets.
Using money meant for rent, groceries, bills, or other essential expenses — including EPF or ASB savings — to fund gambling activity.
Concealing gambling activity from family members, a spouse, or close friends — lying about time spent playing or amounts wagered.
Feeling unable to stop, cut down, or control your gambling despite multiple attempts or a genuine desire to do so.
Missing work, neglecting family responsibilities, or withdrawing from social activities and relationships due to time spent or preoccupied with gambling.
Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or relying on credit to fund gambling activity — especially when repayment is contingent on future gambling winnings.
Gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or loneliness — using it as an emotional escape rather than entertainment.
Constantly thinking about gambling — planning the next session, reliving past wins, or calculating how to get more money to gamble with — even when doing other activities.
Needing to wager increasingly larger amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction — a pattern analogous to tolerance in substance addiction.
If any of these signs are familiar to you: You are not alone, and asking for help is a sign of strength. BCB88's self-exclusion tool can be activated immediately via live chat. Specialist support is available — please see the Support Resources section below.
Answer these questions honestly to get a clearer picture of your current relationship with gambling. This is a private reflection tool — your answers are not recorded or submitted anywhere.
Read through the following questions and note how many apply to your situation over the past 12 months. The questions are based on internationally recognised problem gambling screening frameworks.
Low concern. Continue practising responsible gambling habits and using BCB88's limit tools.
Some risk indicators present. Consider setting deposit limits or a cool-off period. Monitor your habits closely.
High-risk indicators. We strongly encourage reaching out for professional support and consider activating self-exclusion.
Important: This questionnaire is for general self-awareness only. It is not a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, please contact BCB88 support to activate self-exclusion immediately, or reach out to a specialist support service listed on this page.
BCB88 enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all registered accounts and gaming activity. Age verification is mandatory and cannot be bypassed.
The minimum age of 21 for casino-style gambling is not a bureaucratic requirement — it reflects genuine concern for the wellbeing of young Malaysians. The developing brain is more susceptible to forming habitual behaviours, and early exposure to gambling significantly increases the risk of developing problem gambling later in life. BCB88 enforces this threshold strictly and without exceptions.
If you are a parent or guardian concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing online gambling platforms, we recommend installing dedicated parental control software on shared devices. Several free and paid options are available that allow you to block access to gaming and betting sites by category or URL.
If you suspect that a minor has registered an account on BCB88, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will investigate and take appropriate action promptly.
To parents and guardians: If you share a device with someone under 21, please ensure your BCB88 account is logged out when not in use and that your login credentials are not accessible to others in the household.
