city66 | Responsible Gaming — Safe Betting Guide for Malaysia

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying gambling — whether it's slots, Live Casino, poker, football betting on the Malaysia Super League or EPL — purely as a form of entertainment, not as a way to solve financial problems or relieve stress.

At City66, we take our responsibility to every Malaysian player seriously. We don't just provide a safe and fair gaming platform — we also actively help players identify early signs of problem gambling and give them the tools they need to stay in control.

Responsible gambling starts with the right mindset: know your limits, set a budget before you play, and always remember that winnings are never guaranteed. Money used for gambling should be disposable income you can afford to lose — not money set aside for rent, bills, or family needs.

              Important Reminder: Gambling can be addictive. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling control, please contact City66 support immediately at support@city66.net or use the self-exclusion tool in your account portal.
            

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling to Watch Out For

Many players don't realise they have started developing a gambling problem because the changes happen gradually. City66 encourages you to assess yourself honestly by looking out for the following warning signs:

Feeling the need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement

Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop or cut back on gambling

Frequently playing longer or spending more than originally planned

Lying to family or friends about your gambling activity and how much money you have spent

Using borrowed money, savings, or funds meant for daily necessities to gamble

Continuing to gamble despite knowing it is negatively affecting your finances, work, or relationships

Gambling to "win back" money you have lost (chasing losses)

Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to excessive gambling

            Self-Assessment: If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, this may be an early indicator of a gambling problem. Don't wait for things to get worse — reach out to the City66 support team now.
          

Quick Self-Assessment — Check Your Gambling Habits

Answer the short questions below honestly to help you better understand your relationship with gambling. This is not a formal assessment — think of it as a personal guide.

1. Have you ever gambled beyond the limits you set for yourself?

2. Have you ever used bill money or household funds to gamble?

3. Has a family member or friend ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?

4. Have you ever felt stressed, guilty, or regretful after a gambling session?

5. Do you gamble to escape problems or negative feelings?

            If you answered "Sometimes" or "Often" to any of the questions above, we encourage you to contact the City66 support team or use the self-control tools available in your account.
          

Tips for Playing Responsibly on City66

Playing responsibly doesn't mean you can't have fun. It simply means enjoying slots, Live Casino, poker, or Sports Betting in a way that doesn't negatively impact your daily life. Follow City66's practical guidelines below:

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on the maximum amount in MYR you are willing to spend before opening your City66 account. Once that amount is gone, end the session. Use the daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit feature in your account settings to enforce this automatically.

Session Time Limit

Decide how long you will play — for example 30 minutes or 1 hour — and stick to it. City66 offers a session time reminder feature you can activate to keep track of how long you have been playing.

Don't Chase Your Losses

This is one of the most common traps in gambling. When you're on a losing streak, don't try to "break even" by raising your bets or playing on. Losses are part of the game — accept them calmly and stick to the limits you've set for yourself.

Don't Gamble When You're Emotional

Avoid gambling when you're feeling stressed, angry, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Unstable emotions can lead to poor betting decisions and cause you to spend more than you intended.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen, drink some water, take a short walk. Breaks help you think more clearly and avoid impulsive decisions. Use City66's "Cooling-Off Period" feature to pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days.

Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle

Make sure gambling does not take time away from family, work, hobbies, or other social activities. City66 is just one of your entertainment options — it should not be the main focus of your daily life.

Recommended Deposit Limits by Player Category

City66 recommends that players set deposit limits suited to their individual financial situation. Below are general guidelines for Malaysian players as a reference:

New Players (Daily Limit)RM 50 – RM 100

Regular Player (Daily Limit)RM 100 – RM 300

Experienced Players (Daily Limit)RM 300 – RM 500

Recommended Monthly Limit (All Players)Not Exceeding 5% of Monthly Income

            Financial Guidelines: For example, if your monthly income is RM 3,000, the recommended monthly gambling budget is no more than RM 150. This should only come from disposable money left over after all living expenses, savings, and bills have been covered.
          

FAQ — Responsible Gaming

Log in to your City66 account, go to "Account Settings", and select "Responsible Controls". From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in MYR. Limits take effect immediately and require a 48-hour cooling-off period before they can be increased, but can be reduced with immediate effect.

A Cooling-Off Period is a short-term break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days, during which your account will be temporarily suspended. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Self-Exclusion is a more serious commitment where you choose to block your account for a minimum of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, City66 will also cease sending you any marketing communications.

Yes, you can apply for self-exclusion at any time through your City66 account portal under "Responsible Controls", or by contacting our support team at support@city66.net. The process is free and requires no justification. Any remaining balance in your account will be processed for withdrawal in accordance with standard procedures.

Yes. City66 uses an automated behavioural monitoring system that identifies play patterns which may indicate a problem — such as repeated deposits within a short period, a sudden spike in bet sizes, or unusually long gaming sessions. When such patterns are detected, our team may reach out proactively to share information on responsible gaming and available self-control tools.

In addition to contacting the City66 support team at support@city66.net, you can seek professional help through Talian Kasih 15999 (Department of Social Welfare Malaysia), which operates 24 hours a day. You may also access counselling at your nearest public health centre or reach out to a qualified private psychologist in Malaysia.
