At 1988ric, online gaming is a form of entertainment — much like watching a film or attending a concert. It should bring enjoyment, not stress. That is why we place responsible gaming at the core of how we operate, not merely as a side rule tucked away in a corner of our website.

We understand that most of our players play for entertainment, to pass the time, and to test their luck every now and then. However, we also recognize that a small number of individuals may struggle to control their gambling habits. For this group, 1988ric is committed to providing practical tools, clear information, and genuine support — without any judgment.

This page details all the resources and mechanisms we provide to help you play in a healthy, controlled, and enjoyable manner. Take a moment to read and understand the rights and options available to you as a 1988ric player.

All control tools listed on this page are available free of charge within your account. No fees, no penalties — we believe this is every player's basic right.

Section 2

Responsible Gaming Control Tools

1988ric provides a range of control tools that you can activate directly from your account dashboard at any time you feel it is necessary. We believe that informed and in-control players are happier players in the long run.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

You can set deposit limits according to the timeframe that best suits your financial situation. These limits work automatically — once the set limit is reached, our system will stop any further deposits until the next reset period begins. To increase your limit, a 24-hour cooling-off period applies to ensure your decision is considered rather than impulsive.

Loss Limit

Unlike a deposit limit, a loss limit focuses on how much money you are willing to lose within a given period. Once this limit is reached, your account will not allow any further wagering until the next period begins. This is a highly effective tool for those who want to enjoy gaming without worrying about excessive losses.

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session. Our system will remind you when your session is nearing its end and will automatically terminate the session once the limit is reached. This feature helps you maintain a healthy balance between entertainment and your daily responsibilities.

Self-Exclusion

For those who feel the need for a complete break from the platform, the Self-Exclusion feature allows you to exclude yourself from all gaming activities for a chosen period — ranging from 24 hours, one week, one month, three months, six months, up to one year or permanently. During the exclusion period, your account will be fully blocked and you will not receive any marketing communications from us.

Reality Check

The Reality Check feature sends periodic reminders during your active session, displaying how long you have been playing and a summary of your current session activity. These reminders can be set to appear every 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or one hour — the choice is yours.

How to access: Log in to your account → Account Settings → Responsible Gambling. All control tools can be activated in under two minutes.

Section 3

Identifying the Signs of a Gambling Problem

Gambling problems rarely appear overnight — they typically develop gradually without being noticed. Recognizing early warning signs is the single most important first step toward getting help before the situation becomes more serious. Here are some signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about.

  • Gambling with money that should be used for basic necessities such as rent, bills, or food.
  • Often feeling compelled to gamble more to achieve the same level of excitement.
  • Difficulty stopping play even after deciding to do so.
  • Concealing gambling activity from family members or close friends.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when unable to play.
  • Frequently attempting to chase losses with larger wagers.
  • Gambling is affecting your relationships, employment, or mental health.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to contact our support team or use the Self-Exclusion feature now. There is nothing to be ashamed of — this is a brave and responsible course of action.

Section 4

Protection of Children and Minors

1988ric takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. Our platform is exclusively for individuals aged 18 and above. We apply a rigorous identity verification (KYC) process to ensure no underage individuals can access our services.

Our Preventive Measures

  • Mandatory age verification during registration using a valid identity document.
  • Automated detection system for suspicious usage patterns that may indicate underage users.
  • A staged KYC process for accounts processing transactions above certain limits.
  • A dedicated compliance team to review and verify accounts on a regular basis.

Advice for Parents and Guardians

If you share a device with children or younger family members, we recommend the following steps to ensure they cannot access online gaming platforms:

  • Use parental control software that can filter specific websites.
  • Always keep your account password private and never share it with anyone.
  • Log out of your account after every session, especially on shared devices.
  • Have open conversations with your children about the risks of online gambling.

If you suspect that an underage individual has accessed your account or our platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can take the appropriate action.

Section 5

Help, Support and External Resources

You do not have to face gambling problems alone. The 1988ric support team is trained to provide initial guidance and connect you with appropriate resources. In addition to our internal support, there are also professional organisations that can offer more in-depth assistance.

1988ric In-House Support

Our customer support team is available via live chat on the platform 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can confidentially discuss your concerns, and we will help you activate the appropriate control tools or process your Self-Exclusion request promptly.

Financial Management

If gambling problems have affected your finances, we recommend seeking advice from a certified financial professional. Managing debt and restructuring your personal finances is an important step in a comprehensive recovery process.

All conversations with the 1988ric support team regarding responsible gaming issues are fully confidential. Your information will not be shared with anyone without your consent, unless required by law.

Are You Playing Healthily?

Answer the following questions honestly with yourself. This is not a formal test, but it can help you assess your relationship with gambling.

1

Have you ever played beyond the time or money limits you set for yourself before starting?

2

Have you ever hidden the amount of time or money you spent gambling from someone you care about?

3

Have you ever played to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings such as sadness or anxiety?

4

Have you ever tried to chase back money you had lost by continuing to gamble more during the same session or a subsequent one?

5

Has gambling ever caused financial difficulties, conflicts in relationships, or affected your work or academic performance?

6

Do you find it difficult to stop playing even when you intended to, or feel anxious when you are unable to access the platform?

Interpretation: If you answered "yes" to two or more of the questions above, we encourage you to contact our support team or use the control tools we provide. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Questions Frequently Asked

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about responsible gaming at 1988ric.

Log in to your account, then go to Account Settings and select the Responsible Gambling section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. The limit you set takes effect immediately. If you wish to increase your limit, a 24-hour cooling-off period applies to ensure your decision is final.

You may choose a Self-Exclusion period starting from 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, one year, or permanent exclusion. During this period, your account will be fully blocked and you will not receive any marketing emails or notifications. Permanent exclusion requires an additional process and cannot be reversed.

Yes, completely. Funds in your account remain safe during the Self-Exclusion period. You may request a withdrawal of your balance even while under exclusion — only gaming activity and new deposits are restricted. Contact our customer support to process a withdrawal during the Self-Exclusion period.

A deposit limit controls the amount of money you can add to your account within a given period, while a loss limit controls the net amount you can lose from your account balance. For example, you may deposit RM500 but set a loss limit of RM200 — once your net loss reaches RM200, betting will be blocked even if there is still a remaining balance in your account.

No. During an active Self-Exclusion period, our system will block new account registration using the same personal details. Our strict KYC process ensures your self-exclusion is fully respected. Any attempt to re-register during a Self-Exclusion period is a violation of our Terms and Conditions.

You can reach the 1988ric support team via the in-platform live chat, available 24/7. For more in-depth assistance with gambling-related issues, you may also email us at [email protected].
