Live22's Commitment to Healthy Gaming

Playing on an online platform should be a source of entertainment and fun – not stress or burden. live22 believes every member deserves an enjoyable gaming experience without sacrificing their mental health, finances, or personal relationships.

That's why we don't just provide games – we also equip the platform with a range of control tools you can use at any time to ensure your gaming experience stays healthy and enjoyable. This responsible gaming policy is part of our commitment to every live22 member across Malaysia.

Gambling should be viewed as a form of entertainment – just like watching a movie or going to a concert. It involves spending money for enjoyment, not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems. If you find yourself playing with intentions beyond pure entertainment, that's the moment to pause and reassess.

live22 Core Principles: Only play with money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily needs, family responsibilities, or savings. Gambling is not an investment – it is entertainment.

Quick Self-Check

Ask yourself these questions before playing:

  • Is this for entertainment?
  • Is my spending limit clear?
  • Can I stop at any time?
  • Does my family know I'm playing?

Live22 Responsible Gaming Control Tools

We provide a range of practical tools you can use directly through your live22 account to better manage your gaming experience.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a daily or weekly period. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block additional deposits until that period ends – no exceptions.

Session Play Time Limit

Set how long you want to play in a single session. Once the time is up, the system will display a warning and automatically end your session to prevent excessive play.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can choose to self-exclude from the live22 platform for 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or permanently. This decision cannot be reversed during the active period.

Activity History Review

Promotional Notification Opt-Out

You can choose to disable all promotional notifications, bonuses, and offers that may encourage you to play more. This control is entirely in your hands through your account settings.

24/7 Support & Guidance

The live22 support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you have concerns about your playing habits or need help activating any control tools, contact us via live chat on the platform.

1 Warning Signs of Problem Gambling to Watch Out For

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight – it typically develops gradually. Recognising the early warning signs is the most important first step toward getting help before things become more serious. Here are the signs to watch for in yourself or a loved one:

Playing to relieve stress, boredom, or everyday problems
Constantly thinking about gambling even while doing other things
Chasing losses – continuing to play in an attempt to "win back" money lost
Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you have spent
Borrowing money or selling possessions to keep playing
Neglecting work, family responsibilities, or bills due to gambling
Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when trying to stop playing
Needing to bet with increasingly larger amounts to feel the same excitement
If you identify two or more of the signs above in yourself, we strongly encourage you to contact the live22 support team or seek professional help immediately. There is no reason to feel ashamed – asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

2 How to Use live22 Gaming Control Tools

All responsible gaming control tools on live22 are accessible directly through your account. The process is straightforward and takes effect immediately without delay. Follow these steps:

Setting a Deposit Limit

1
Log in to your live22 account

Use the Login button at the top of the platform and securely enter your account credentials.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon and select "Account Settings" or "Game Limits" from the available menu.

3
Select the desired limit type

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits based on your needs and financial capacity.

4
Enter the limit amount and confirm

Enter the maximum amount you have set, then confirm the change. The limit takes effect immediately and can only be decreased right away, or increased after a 7-day waiting period.

Activating Self-Exclusion

For self-exclusion, the same process applies but through the "Self-Exclusion" section in your account settings. Select the exclusion period you want. During the active exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or play on the live22 platform. If you need help activating this feature, contact our support team via live chat.

Important: Any reduction of limits or cancellation of self-exclusion requires a cooling-off period before taking effect, ensuring your decision is made thoughtfully rather than impulsively.

3 Smart Budgeting Guide for live22 Members

Managing your gambling budget wisely is an essential skill that sets recreational players apart from those facing problems. Here are the practical guidelines we recommend to all live22 members:

  • Set a dedicated monthly entertainment budget – Keep your entertainment money separate from your savings and daily obligations. Decide how much you can spend on entertainment (including gambling) each month without affecting your basic needs.
  • Never play with borrowed money – Borrowed money brings pressure that can cloud your judgment while playing. Only play with disposable funds you can afford to lose.
  • Treat losses as the cost of entertainment – Just as you would buy a cinema ticket or dine at a restaurant, treat money spent on gaming as the cost of enjoyment, not an investment that needs to generate returns.
  • Take regular breaks while playing – Take a break every 30 to 45 minutes to drink some water, rest, and reassess your situation. The best decisions are made with a fresh mind.
  • Set a win limit – In addition to loss limits, also set a win limit. If you reach your predetermined winning amount, stop playing and enjoy your winnings.
  • Avoid playing when you are emotionally unstable – Do not play when you are stressed, angry, sad, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional instability impairs judgment and can lead to poor betting decisions.
  • Track your gambling expenses – Keep a simple record of how much you deposit and win each month. This helps you see the real picture and make better decisions going forward.

4 Child Protection & Vulnerable Persons

Live22 is an exclusive platform for adults aged 18 and above. We take this responsibility very seriously and implement multiple measures to prevent access by those who do not qualify:

  • Age Verification During Registration – Every new account requires age verification before it can be fully used. Identity information provided will be checked to confirm the applicant is 18 years of age or older.
  • Rigorous KYC Process – live22's Know Your Customer (KYC) process requires valid identification documents, ensuring no minor can register using a false identity.
  • Parental device controls – We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent access to gambling websites.
  • Underage Account Reporting – If you suspect any account is owned by an underage individual, please report it to the live22 support team immediately. We will investigate and take action right away.
Warning to parents: Keep your live22 account login details secure and do not share them with children. Do not leave children unsupervised on your device if you have an active online gambling account.

5 Seeking Professional Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, seeking professional help is the smartest and most courageous step you can take. Problem gambling is a treatable mental health issue, and a range of support resources is available in Malaysia:

Mental Health Helpline

The Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) provides a mental health helpline that anyone can contact for immediate support relating to addiction or mental distress.

Hospitals & Health Clinics

Government and private hospitals throughout Malaysia have psychiatry and psychology departments that can help individuals dealing with gambling addiction through appropriate treatment.

Community Support Groups

Peer support groups such as Gamblers Anonymous provide a safe, non-judgmental environment to share experiences and receive support from those who understand.

Professional Counselling

Licensed counsellors and psychologists can help you identify the root causes of problem gambling and develop effective, long-term recovery strategies.

The live22 support team can also help you find referrals to suitable assistance resources. You don't have to go through this alone – reaching out to us is a great first step.

6 Support for Family & Friends of Players

Problem gambling does not only affect the individual who plays – it also impacts family members, partners, and close friends. If you are concerned about the gaming habits of someone you care about, here are some guidelines for you:

  • Start the conversation with empathy – Choose a calm, low-pressure moment to talk. Use "I" statements such as "I'm worried about you" rather than blaming or judging their behaviour.
  • Learn about problem gambling – Understanding the addictive nature of gambling as a mental health issue will help you approach the situation with greater patience and effectiveness.
  • Set healthy boundaries – You are not responsible for resolving financial problems caused by someone else's gambling. Setting clear boundaries is essential for your own mental well-being.
  • Get support for yourself too – There are dedicated support groups for the families and friends of individuals struggling with gambling problems. Seeking help for yourself is important and completely valid.
  • Contact live22 – If you know someone using a live22 account and you are concerned about their playing habits, contact our support team. We will take appropriate precautionary steps in accordance with established procedures.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Answers to frequently asked questions about responsible gaming features at live22.

Log in to your live22 account, go to Account Settings, and select the "Game Limits" or "Deposit Limit" option. From there, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits according to your preference. Limits take effect immediately upon confirmation. Note that limit reductions apply instantly, while limit increases require a 7-day waiting period to ensure your decision is carefully considered.

Self-exclusion is a feature that lets you block your own access to the live22 platform for a set period – whether 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or permanently. During an active self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or participate in any games. This feature cannot be reversed once activated. To enable it, go to Account Settings or contact live22 support via live chat.

No. A self-exclusion once activated cannot be cancelled or shortened before the set period ends. This is a policy we enforce strictly for your own benefit. It is designed to ensure you have sufficient time to rest, reflect, and make more rational decisions. Once the period ends, you will need to actively contact live22 support to reactivate your account – it does not happen automatically.

Yes, live22 has a strict age verification and KYC (Know Your Customer) process during registration. Every member must submit valid identification documents to confirm they are 18 years of age or older. Any account suspected of belonging to an underage individual will be blocked and investigated immediately. We also encourage parents to use parental control software on shared devices.

You can reach the live22 support team via live chat on the platform at any time – we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our team is trained to help you activate gaming control tools or refer you to professional support resources. You can also seek assistance through Malaysia's government mental health services or a licensed private counsellor in your area.

A deposit limit controls how much money you can add to your live22 account within a set period, regardless of whether you win or lose. A loss limit controls how much money you can lose within a session or playing period. Both tools work differently but complement each other – we recommend setting both for more comprehensive protection against overspending.
