At hari88, the joy of gaming only means something when it is done responsibly. We provide a range of self-control tools, best practice guides, and comprehensive support so that every member can enjoy a healthy, controlled gaming experience that does not impact their daily life.
Online gaming should be a source of entertainment — not stress, not an escape from problems, and not a primary source of income. hari88 believes every member deserves an enjoyable gaming experience without having to worry about negative consequences for themselves, their family, or their finances.
A reality we must all acknowledge: a small number of players may experience difficulty controlling their gaming habits. This is not a personal weakness — it is an issue that can affect anyone, regardless of background or gaming experience. That is why hari88 invests seriously in a comprehensive responsible gaming system and support framework.
We do not merely fulfil legal and regulatory requirements — we genuinely care. Every control tool, every guide, and every support channel we provide reflects our sincere commitment to ensuring hari88 remains a safe and responsible entertainment space for all members in Malaysia.
Identifying gambling problems at an early stage is the most effective way to prevent more serious consequences. Here are some early warning signs that your gaming habits may be starting to require closer attention:
Healthy gaming starts with the right mindset and approach. Here are the core principles we encourage all hari88 members to follow:
Use the hari88 self-assessment tool to identify your risk level right now.
Hari88 equips every member with a comprehensive set of control tools — all accessible directly from your account settings with no waiting time or additional fees.
Set the maximum deposit amount for a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is set, the hari88 system will automatically block any deposits exceeding that limit without any manual intervention.
Set your session play time limit — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom duration. When time is up, the system will automatically remind you and offer the option to take a break or end the session.
If you feel you need a short break, you can activate an account break for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a duration of your choice. During the break period, your account will not be accessible for any wagering activity.
Self-exclusion allows you to close access to your account for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. The process is free, instant, and can be done directly through account settings or by contacting support.
Review a detailed report of your game activity — including total time played, total deposits, accumulated losses and wins — for weekly or monthly periods to help you assess your own gaming patterns.
Enable automatic notifications that will alert you when you have reached 50%, 75%, or 100% of your set deposit or play time limit. These early reminders help you stay in control before the limit is reached.
Use your login credentials to access the hari88 platform via browser or mobile app. Make sure you are logged in to the correct account before making any changes to your settings.
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming Controls" from the dropdown menu that appears.
You will see a full list of available self-control tools. Select the relevant category — whether deposit limits, time limits, account breaks, or self-exclusion — and click to activate.
Enter your desired value or duration. For deposit limits, enter the maximum amount in ringgit. For time limits, select the duration in hours or minutes.
Review your settings and click "Confirm" to activate the control tools. You will receive a confirmation email from hari88 as a record of the changes made.
Deposit limits take effect immediately. Limit reductions are enforced as soon as they are confirmed. Deposit limit increases are subject to a 24-hour waiting period as an additional protective measure.
This brief questionnaire is based on a recognised problem gambling assessment instrument. It is not a clinical diagnosis — but it can help you reassess your relationship with gaming. Answer honestly with yourself.
Have you ever felt the need to bet increasingly larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement as before?
Have you ever tried to stop or reduce your gaming activity but failed to do so despite strong resolve?
Do you frequently think about gambling — such as planning strategies, calculating money needed, or replaying past gaming sessions?
Have you ever gambled to escape from problems, or to relieve feelings of stress, guilt, anxiety, or sadness?
Have you ever lied to family members, friends, or your employer about your gambling activity or the amounts of money involved?
Have you ever pawned or sold any possessions, or borrowed money from others, solely to obtain funds for gambling?
Has your gambling ever caused serious problems in your personal relationships, career, education, or financial situation?
Malaysia has several counselling centres and non-governmental organisations that offer confidential and free problem gambling support services. Speaking with a professional is the most effective step toward a full recovery.
Sharing experiences in a support group with individuals going through similar situations can provide strength and a fresh perspective. Gamblers Anonymous and equivalent groups operate in Malaysia.
Close family plays an important role in the recovery process. Have an open conversation with trusted family members and seek their emotional support throughout your recovery journey.
