Entertainment Should Never Become a Burden

Why responsible gambling is the cornerstone of my 36

At my 36, we don't just provide a platform for slots, live casino, poker, Sports Betting on Malaysia Super League football, badminton, cricket, and e-sports purely for business gain. We understand that behind every registered account is a real person – with a life, responsibilities, a family, and dreams that go far beyond any in-game win.

Responsible gaming is not just a slogan or a marketing phrase at my 36. It is a genuine commitment reflected in every product decision we make — from an interface designed to make self-control tools easy to access, to a support team specifically trained to recognise and assist players who may be struggling. All of this is part of what sets my 36 apart.

Research shows that the majority of players use betting platforms as everyday entertainment — much like someone watching the Malaysia Super League on weekends or playing Mobile Legends during their free time. They set a budget, play within their means, and do not let gambling interfere with daily life. This is the model of healthy play that we support and encourage.

However, we also recognise that for some people, betting can shift from entertainment to something more concerning. Factors such as financial stress, personal problems, or emotional instability can alter a person's playing habits. This is why my 36 invests seriously in its responsible gaming programme — not because we are required to, but because it is simply the right thing to do.


Six Protective Tools Available to All my 36 Members

All these tools are accessible directly from your account settings page — no need to contact support

Financial Limits

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a given period. Once the limit is in place, the my 36 system will automatically decline any deposit that exceeds it until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately, but increasing a limit requires a 24-hour waiting period.

Loss Limit

Daily & Weekly Loss Limits

Set the maximum MYR amount you're willing to lose in a day or a week. Once the loss limit is reached, your account will automatically block new bets until the period resets. This is the most effective tool for preventing loss chasing – a dangerous habit that often makes financial situations worse.

Play Break

Time-Out

Choose to take a break from my 36 for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. During the break period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or place bets. This is ideal for players who feel they need to step back and breathe without permanently closing their account.

Self-Exclusion

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling has been negatively affecting your life, you can self-exclude from the my 36 platform for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the period ends. This is the most serious and most effective measure for players who need an extended break.

Betting Limit

Per-Session Betting Limit

Set a maximum on your single bet amount or total wagers within a session. This tool helps you stay within your planned budget before you start playing, whether it's slots, Live Casino, or Sports Betting.

Time Limit

Session Time Limit Reminders

Set a time limit for each play session – for example, 1 hour or 2 hours. my 36 will send a notification when you're approaching your limit and display a reminder when the session time is up. This helps prevent the "time blur" that often happens during engaging gameplay.

10 Signs Your Gambling May Be a Problem

Check in with yourself — honesty is the first step toward change

1
Betting Beyond Your Means

You regularly gamble with money meant for essential needs such as rent, bills, or food.

2
Chasing Losses

You keep betting more to "chase" money you've already lost, even when it makes things worse.

3
Lying About Betting

You hide your betting activity from family members, a partner, or close friends.

4
Can't Stop Even When Winning

When you win, you keep betting all your winnings back until they're gone, rather than stopping at the right time.

5
Gambling Affecting Work & Relationships

Work performance, career, family relationships, or friendships have been affected by the time or money spent on betting.

6
Borrowing Money to Bet

You borrow money – whether from a bank, family members, or friends – specifically to fund your gambling.

7
Feeling Uncomfortable Without Betting

You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you have not had the opportunity to bet for an extended period.

8
Using Gambling to Escape Problems

Gambling is used as a way to escape personal problems, work stress, or feelings of sadness and anxiety.

9
Gradually Increasing Bet Sizes

You need to bet increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement as before.

10
Failed Attempts to Stop

You've tried to cut back or stop gambling multiple times but have consistently failed to follow through.

If you identify with 3 or more of the signs above, we strongly encourage you to take immediate self-control measures or contact the my 36 support team for assistance.

Common Misconceptions About Problem Gambling

Understanding the facts is an important step toward getting the right help

Myth
"Problem gambling only affects people who are weak or lack discipline."
Fact
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of background, education level, or financial status. It is a medically recognised health issue.
Myth
"I can stop betting whenever I want — it's not a big deal."
Fact
The belief that you can stop whenever you want is often the first sign of a problem. Problem gambling involves chemical changes in the brain that make self-control far harder than expected.
Myth
"If I keep gambling long enough, my luck is bound to turn and I'll win back everything I've lost."
Fact
Every game is independent of the one before it. "Luck" does not accumulate or wait for you. The strategy of chasing losses will statistically result in greater losses over the long run.
Myth
"Asking for help means I'm weak or a failure."
Fact
Seeking help is a sign of strength and self-awareness. Many individuals who reach out early are able to return to a normal, healthy life much sooner.

How my 36 Implements Responsible Gambling

More than just words – here are the real actions we take

Dedicated Support Team Training

All my 36 customer support team members undergo specialised training to recognise signs of problem gambling and to communicate with and assist players who need support.

Play Pattern Monitoring

The my 36 system actively monitors betting patterns. When unusual behaviour is detected – such as a sudden spike in deposit or bet sizes, or unusually long sessions – the system will trigger a review and our team may reach out to the player.

Proactive Communication

My 36 sends players periodic reminders about the time they have spent on the platform and their financial transaction history. This helps players make informed assessments of their playing habits.

Default Limits for New Members

All new my 36 accounts come with default deposit and betting limits suited for new players. These limits can be adjusted by players as they become more familiar with the platform and their own preferences.

Educational Content & Awareness

My 36 provides educational resources on responsible gaming — including this page, related FAQ sections, and regularly updated guides on how to use our self-control tools.

Strict Age Verification

My 36 uses a rigorous identity verification process to ensure all members are adults aged 18 and above. Protecting young people is a non-negotiable priority.


If Someone You Care About Is Struggling

Sometimes those around us can see problems that we can't see ourselves. If you're concerned that someone you care about may have a gambling problem, here are some steps you can take:

  • Choose the right moment to talk – Choose a calm moment — not during a conflict or right after a bad betting session.
  • Use non-judgmental language – Raise your concerns based on what you have observed, without making accusations or placing blame.
  • Listen with empathy – Give them space to share their perspective without interruption or judgment.
  • Offer concrete support – Ask how you can help and offer options such as accompanying them to seek professional support.
  • Take care of yourself too – Supporting someone through a gambling problem can be challenging. Make sure you're getting the support you need too.

Remember – problem gambling is a treatable health issue. With the right support, many individuals successfully regain control of their lives.

Practical Tips for Playing Responsibly

For most players, responsible gambling simply means building a few easy habits that keep betting fun and entertaining:

  • Set a budget before you start – Decide on the RM amount you are comfortable spending before you open the platform, not after.
  • Treat it as entertainment, not income – Money spent on betting should be thought of like a cinema ticket or a dinner out — it's paid entertainment.
  • Don't play when you're not in the right headspace – Avoid gambling when you are feeling very sad, angry, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Take regular breaks – Get up, stretch, and step away from the screen every 30–45 minutes during long sessions.
  • Stop after a big win – A big win is the best time to stop and enjoy your success without putting it back at risk.
  • Make sure betting is not your only recreational activity – Maintain other interests and hobbies in your life outside of betting.
