106 Responsible Gaming — Play Smart
106 believes that online entertainment should be enjoyed responsibly and in moderation. This page provides guides, self-control tools, and important information to help you stay in control while using our platform.
Gaming is meant to be fun. If it starts to feel like a burden, it's time to step back and seek support.
What is 106's commitment to responsible gaming?
106 is more than just an entertainment platform — we're committed to ensuring Malaysian users enjoy a healthy, balanced, and controlled gaming experience. Responsible gaming isn't just our policy; it's a core value of the 106 platform.
We believe online entertainment should be an enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of stress or financial hardship. That's why 106 offers a range of tools and resources to help users stay in control of their gaming habits — including deposit limits, session limits, and the option to take a break from the platform.
This page is designed to provide clear guidance for all users, especially those who may be facing challenges with their gaming habits. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Warning signs of problematic gaming behaviour
Recognising early warning signs of risky gaming behaviour is key to protecting yourself and those you care about. Here are some indicators that your gaming patterns may need a closer look:
Borrowing money to play, spending funds meant for daily essentials (food, bills, rent) on gambling, or feeling overwhelmed by debt due to gaming.
Spending more time gaming than planned, struggling to stop even when you want to, or neglecting work and family responsibilities.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when unable to play; using gaming as an escape from problems or negative emotions.
Hiding the amount of time or money spent gaming from family or friends, or being dishonest about your gaming activity.
If you recognise one or more of the signs above in yourself, consider using the self-exclusion tools provided by 106 or reaching out for professional support.
How to set effective time and budget limits
One of the best ways to keep gaming healthy is to set clear limits before starting a session. 106 encourages every user to approach their gaming activity in a planned and disciplined manner.
Daily and monthly budget limits
Set a maximum amount in MYR you're comfortable spending on entertainment per day or per month. Think of it as a leisure expense — just like going to the cinema or dining out. This limit should never exceed what you can afford to lose without impacting your basic living needs.
Session time limits
Set clear time limits for each gaming session — for example, no more than one to two hours at a time. Take regular breaks, especially after longer sessions. Avoid playing when you're tired, emotionally unwell, or under the influence of alcohol.
Don't chase your losses
One of the most important principles of responsible gaming is never chasing losses by betting more. Losses are part of the game — accept them and stop once you've reached your limit.
Self-exclusion tools available to 106 users
106 offers several self-control mechanisms that users can apply to better manage their gaming experience. All tools are accessible through your account once logged in.
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount in MYR. Once the limit is in place, you won't be able to deposit beyond the allowed amount within that period.
An option to temporarily suspend access to your account for a set period — from a few days to several weeks. Use this time to step back and reassess your gaming habits.
If you feel the need to stop playing entirely for an extended period, you can contact 106 customer support for guidance on the self-exclusion options available.
To activate any of these self-exclusion tools, please log in to your account and contact our support team at [email protected].
Child and minor protection
106 takes seriously its responsibility to prevent access by individuals under 18 years of age. Online gaming is for adults only, and we have multiple layers of protection in place to ensure this.
All users are required to verify their age at registration. Any account found to belong to a minor will be closed immediately, and any remaining balance will be returned in accordance with established procedures.
Responsibilities of parents and guardians
We encourage parents and guardians to take the following steps to protect their children:
- Never share your 106 account login details with anyone, including family members.
- Make sure any device used to access the 106 platform is secured with a strong password.
- Have open conversations with your children about the risks of uncontrolled online gaming.
- Install parental control software on shared devices to restrict access to gambling websites.
If you suspect a child has accessed the 106 platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt action.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and seeking help when needed
Online entertainment should be one of many leisure activities in your life — not the only one. Maintaining a healthy balance between gaming, work, family, and social activities is key to your overall well-being.
Tips for maintaining a healthy balance
- Plan a daily routine that includes a variety of activities beyond online gaming.
- Keep your relationships with family and friends strong and active.
- Get involved in hobbies, sports, or community activities to fill your free time in a positive way.
- Get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise regularly to maintain good physical and mental health.
When to seek professional help
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling addiction or financial stress caused by gaming, professional help is available. Don't hesitate to reach out to a counselling service or mental health support provider near you in Malaysia. Recognising the problem and seeking help is the single most important first step.
