Responsible Gaming City88 —
Fun Without Losing Control

At city88, the fun of gaming always goes hand in hand with responsibility. We believe the best experience comes when you play in full control — knowing your limits, knowing when to stop, and always enjoying the game purely as entertainment.

Six Principles Responsible Gaming We

City88 builds a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment built on six core pillars of player protection.

Play Time Limit

Set your own daily or weekly session time limits through your city88 account settings. When your time limit is reached, the system will automatically send a reminder so you can take a break and return to play with a fresh mind.

Deposit & Loss Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly in your account. Loss limits can also be configured to ensure you stay within your planned budget, giving you peace of mind while you play.

Temporary Self-Break

Need a break? Use city88's self-break feature to temporarily suspend your account — whether for 24 hours, a week, or a month. This break period helps you regain perspective without having to close your account entirely.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

For those who need a longer break, city88 offers self-exclusion options for 6 months, one year, or permanently. During this period, your account will be inaccessible and you will not receive any marketing communications.

Gaming History Review

Monitor your own gaming patterns through the activity history report on your city88 account. Records of playing time, total deposits, and gaming activity are available to help you conduct an accurate self-assessment and take early action if needed.

Child Protection

City88 takes the prevention of access by minors under 18 very seriously. Our strict KYC verification process ensures that only eligible adults can register and play. We also encourage parents to install parental control software on shared devices.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means participating in wagering activities as a form of entertainment — not as a way to generate income, escape problems, or resolve financial stress. At city88, we always remind users that every game is designed with a specific house edge, and the outcome of every round is entirely random.

Playing responsibly means entering every session with a clear budget, realistic time expectations, and the willingness to stop whether you win or lose. Winning is a fun bonus, not a reliable guarantee. When you view gaming from this entertainment perspective, the experience at city88 becomes more enjoyable and far healthier for your mental well-being.

City88 has built its entire platform with this philosophy at its core — every feature, every alert, and every self-control tool we provide is a testament to our commitment that player safety always takes priority over purely commercial considerations.

Always Remember: Gambling is entertainment, not a livelihood. Set a budget before you play, stick to it, and enjoy the games purely for fun at city88.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Gambling addiction can develop gradually and often goes unnoticed by the player themselves. City88 wants to help you identify early warning signs so action can be taken before the problem becomes serious. Check yourself honestly — are you experiencing any of the following?

  • Feeling compelled to keep playing even after planning to stop, and finding it difficult to end a gaming session.
  • Using money intended for daily essentials such as bills, food, or loan repayments for gambling purposes.
  • Playing to "chase back" losses — increasing bets in hopes of recovering money already lost.
  • Lying to family members or friends about your gambling habits, or hiding the amount of money spent.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when not playing for a period of time.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to excessive time spent gambling.
  • Borrowing money from others or using credit to fund gambling activity.

Act Now: If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, this is a signal that you should seek help. Contact the city88 support team or refer to the professional support organisations listed below.

A Guide to Playing Smart at City88

We encourage all city88 players to practise healthy gaming habits from the very start. This simple guide is designed to help you enjoy a more positive and sustainable gaming experience.

1
Set a Clear Entertainment Budget

Before starting any session, determine the amount you are comfortable spending as entertainment — money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life. Use city88's deposit limit feature to automatically lock this budget within the system.

2
Set Your Playing Time Limits

Decide how long you want to play before starting a session. Set a physical timer if needed, or use the time limit feature in your city88 account settings. Regular breaks help maintain clearer judgment and more rational decision-making.

3
Don't Gamble When You're Emotionally Unstable

Avoid playing when you are stressed, feeling sad, angry, or in an emotionally unstable state. Decisions made under emotional strain tend to be less rational and may cause you to exceed the limits you have set.

4
Accept Game Outcomes Gracefully

Every game at city88 uses a certified Random Number Generator (RNG). Outcomes are entirely random — no strategy can guarantee a win. Accept losses as part of the entertainment experience and never chase them.

5
Balance Gambling with Other Activities

Make sure gambling is only a small part of your life. Set aside time for family, hobbies, sports, and other social activities. A balanced lifestyle is the foundation of a healthy relationship with any form of entertainment, including online gaming.

Pro Tip: Always log out of your city88 account after every session and delete any saved payment information if you feel tempted to continue playing beyond your set limits.

Self-Assessment — How Much Control Do You Have?

Answer the following questions honestly to get a clearer picture of your gaming habits. This is not a medical diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for meaningful self-reflection.

1

Have you ever gambled longer or spent more than you originally planned?

Question Common — Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by city88 players on responsible gaming.

Log in to your city88 account, go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming Controls". There you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately upon saving. To reduce a limit, the change applies instantly. To increase a limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies as an added protection measure.

A Self-Break is a temporary pause ranging from 24 hours to 30 days — you may request to reopen your account once the period ends. Self-Exclusion is a more serious commitment for a period of 6 months, one year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, city88 will not send you any promotions and the account cannot be reopened before the period expires. This is designed specifically for those who need a stricter distance from gambling activity.

No. During an active self-exclusion period, city88 will reject any attempt to register a new account using the same personal information. Our system detects repeat registration attempts based on name, identification card number, and phone number. If you find that a new account has been successfully registered during self-exclusion, please contact city88 customer support immediately at [email protected].

The most effective approach is to speak openly and non-judgmentally with the family member concerned. Choose a calm moment and express your concerns with compassion. Do not attempt to resolve their financial problems directly, as this may enable the gambling habit to continue. Encourage them to seek professional help through Talian Kasih 15999 or support groups such as Gamblers Anonymous. You may also contact city88 support for further guidance.

Yes. All games offered on the city88 platform use a Random Number Generator (RNG) that has been independently audited and certified by a qualified third party. This ensures that every round, every shot, and every game outcome is genuinely random and fair. Neither players nor city88 can manipulate game results. This transparency is one of the core principles of city88's commitment to fair and responsible gaming.
