Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered, not raised, within 24 hours.

Immediately Active
Game Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. The platform will remind you when the limit is approaching and offer a natural break.

Time Reminders
Temporary Account Break

Need a break without closing your account entirely? Activate an account pause for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your balance stays safe and accessible once the period ends.

24h / 7d / 30d
Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop completely, the self-exclusion option closes your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. This cannot be reversed during that period.

Maximum Protection
Hide Promotions & Bonuses

You can disable all bonus and promotion offers displayed in your account. This helps reduce the urge to bet more than planned.

Impulse Control
Account Activity Review

Track how much you've deposited, withdrawn, and wagered over any period. Full transparency helps you make more informed decisions about your betting habits.

01 city888's Stance on Responsible Gaming

At City888, we believe betting is a legitimate entertainment activity when done the right way. It should be part of your leisure time — not a way to solve financial problems, not an escape from stress, and not something that takes over your daily life.

That's why our commitment to responsible gaming is not just a sign in the corner of the website. It's part of how we design the platform, train our support team, and make operational decisions every day.

We know that a small number of users may experience betting-related difficulties at some point in their lives. For this group, we are here — not to judge, but to help with practical tools and genuine support.

All responsible gaming tools at city888 are completely free and can be activated without contacting anyone — directly in your account settings.

02 Know the Difference — Entertainment vs Problem

Many people don't realise when the line has been crossed. Wagering that starts as entertainment can gradually become a habit that affects finances, relationships, and mental health. Here are some warning signs to watch out for:

  • Betting with money meant for other needs such as rent, bills, or food
  • Chasing losses — betting more to recover money already lost
  • Feeling restless or irritable when betting is not possible
  • Concealing betting activity from family members or friends
  • Borrowing money for betting purposes
  • Thinking about betting all the time even while at work or with family
  • Unable to stop even after intending to do so several times

If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself, that is a signal to take proactive steps. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Problematic wagering can affect anyone regardless of background. It's not about a lack of discipline or a character flaw — it's an issue that can be resolved with the right support.

03 Healthy Betting Guide at city888

Here are some best practices we recommend to all City888 members to keep betting enjoyable:

  • Set a budget before you start — decide how much you can afford to lose and stick to it
  • Bet only with disposable funds — money that won't affect your daily life if lost
  • Set a time limit — don't let sessions run without limits; use the time limit tools on the platform
  • Take regular breaks — take at least one day off from any betting activity each week
  • Avoid betting when emotionally unstable — stress, sadness, or anger are the most dangerous states for making financial decisions
  • Keep other activities in your life — hobbies, social life, and family are important sources of balance
  • Review your activity records monthly — honesty with yourself is the best preventive measure
04 Special Protection for Young Users

City888 has a zero-tolerance policy on underage access. We implement multiple layers of protection to ensure the platform is only accessible to individuals aged 21 and above:

  • Age verification at registration via IC number / passport
  • KYC process that verifies your identity before the first withdrawal
  • Continuous monitoring for suspicious usage patterns
  • Support for parental control software at the device level

If you suspect a minor is using the City888 platform, please notify our support team immediately via live chat. Every such report will be investigated seriously.

05 How to Get Help at City888

If you or someone you know needs help with a betting problem, the City888 team is ready to assist without any judgment. There are several ways to get support:

  • 24/7 Live Chat — type "Responsible Help" in the chat and we will connect you with our dedicated team
  • Activate control tools — ask a support representative to activate deposit limits, account pause, or self-exclusion on your behalf
  • Self-exclusion request — can be requested at any time and takes effect within 24 hours

The city888 support team is trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with empathy and professionalism. You will not be judged or discouraged from seeking help.

Questions Common Responsible Gaming

Deposit limits can be activated in two ways: (1) Directly in your account settings under the "Responsible Gaming" section, or (2) Request a City888 support representative via live chat to activate it on your behalf. Deposit limits take effect immediately once set. Any reduction in limits applies instantly, while increases require a 7-day waiting period as an added safeguard.

Your account balance remains safe throughout the break period. You cannot log in, deposit or bet while the break is active. However, you can still request a withdrawal by contacting customer support directly. Once the break period ends, your account will be automatically reopened and all balances remain intact.

No. Self-exclusion is a serious protective measure and cannot be reversed before the minimum period ends. This is intentional, to give you genuinely effective protection. After the minimum period (6 months) ends, you must actively contact support to reopen your account — it will not be reopened automatically.

Yes. The city888 team monitors usage patterns that may indicate a wagering problem — such as a sudden spike in deposit amounts, unusually long gaming sessions, or clear loss-chasing behaviour. When such patterns are detected, our team may proactively reach out to make sure everything is okay. This is not judgement — it's part of our commitment to member well-being.

Contact the City888 support team and describe your situation. We can provide guidance on how to help your family member, including information on support resources, how to file a formal complaint if you suspect someone is using an account without permission, and other protective steps that can be taken. We understand this is a difficult situation and we are here to help.
