Player Safety & Wellbeing

Responsible Gambling

At mycity44, we believe that gaming should always be a form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. Our responsible gambling programme is built to help every player on our platform maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.

For Players Aged 21 and Above Only

Need help right now? If gambling is affecting you or someone you care about, please reach out to Talian Kasih 15999 (Malaysia's national welfare helpline, available 24 hours) or contact our support team directly via Live Chat. You are not alone — help is available.

Built-In Tools to Keep You in Control

mycity44 provides a full suite of responsible gambling tools that are available to every registered player at any time, at no cost. These tools are designed to help you stay within your personal limits and enjoy gaming responsibly.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your mycity44 Account. Once set, a deposit limit takes effect immediately. Reducing a limit takes effect at once; increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it applies.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set period — daily, weekly, or monthly. This helps you plan your gaming budget and avoid chasing losses. Once a loss limit is reached for the period, further play is temporarily restricted.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your time limit is reached, you will receive an automatic notification and may be prompted to take a break. Regular short breaks help you make clear-headed decisions about your play.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the Platform without fully closing your Account. Cooling-off periods are available for 24 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets, giving you space to reassess your habits.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily suspend your Account for a defined period — 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year — or permanently. During self-exclusion, all marketing communications are suspended and Account access is fully blocked.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable on-screen pop-up reminders at intervals of your choosing (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes). Each reminder displays how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the session, keeping your activity transparent and visible.

How to activate these tools: All responsible gambling tools can be activated by contacting our 24/7 Live Chat support team or by emailing [email protected]. We aim to process all tool activation requests instantly via Live Chat. There is no charge for any of these services.

When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Responsible gambling means recognising when your habits have shifted from entertainment to something more concerning. The following warning signs are not exhaustive, but they are among the most commonly reported indicators of problem gambling. Recognising them early is the first step towards getting help.

If you identify with three or more of these signs, we strongly encourage you to activate a self-exclusion or cooling-off period and to seek support through one of the resources listed further down this page.

Remember: There is no shame in asking for help. Problem gambling is a recognised health condition, and effective support is available across Malaysia, including in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, and beyond.
01
You spend more time or money gambling than you originally planned, and find it difficult to stop once you have started.
02
You chase losses — returning to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have previously lost.
03
Gambling is causing financial stress, including borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting essential bills to fund your play.
04
You feel irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not gambling, or when you try to reduce or stop your gambling activity.
05
You hide or lie about your gambling habits to family members, friends, or colleagues.
06
Gambling is affecting your work performance, personal relationships, mental health, or physical wellbeing.
07
You need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to experience the same level of excitement or satisfaction.
08
You have previously attempted to cut down or stop gambling but have been unsuccessful in doing so.

Ask Yourself These Questions

Honest self-reflection is one of the most effective tools in responsible gambling. Take a moment to consider the following questions. If you answer "yes" to several of them, it may be worth having a conversation with one of the support services listed on this page.

Do you gamble to escape stress, boredom, or difficult emotions?
Have you ever felt guilty or ashamed about the amount you spent gambling?
Have you missed work, family events, or social occasions because of gambling?
Have you ever gambled with money intended for rent, food, or household bills?
Has someone close to you expressed concern about your gambling habits?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are doing other things?
Have you tried to stop gambling and found that you could not?

mycity44's Approach to Player Safety

mycity44 takes its responsibility to players seriously. Responsible gambling is not a compliance checkbox for us — it is a core part of how we operate. Our platform has been designed from the ground up with player welfare in mind, and we invest continuously in improving our player protection systems.

We train our customer support team to identify and respond sensitively to players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties. If our team identifies patterns of play that suggest a player may be at risk, we will proactively reach out to offer support — including activating a temporary restriction on the Account if necessary.

mycity44 strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement across all Services. We conduct age and identity verification as part of our KYC process and we do not knowingly permit anyone under the age of 21 to access or use the Platform.

We also maintain strict policies around marketing and promotions — we do not target responsible gambling messages at players who have self-excluded or who have active cooling-off periods. Bonus and promotional communications are suspended for any player who has activated a responsible gambling tool.

Our Responsible Gambling Policy — Full Details

The following sections set out mycity44's responsible gambling policy in full, including our approach to underage gambling prevention, self-exclusion procedures, and limit-setting protocols.

Age Verification & Underage Gambling Prevention

mycity44 operates a strict minimum age policy. No person under the age of 21 years may register an Account, make a deposit, or participate in any gaming activity on the Platform. This policy applies regardless of the legal gambling age in any given jurisdiction — 21 is the minimum age on mycity44, without exception.

During the KYC verification process, all players are required to provide documentary evidence of their date of birth, such as a Malaysian MyKad, passport, or other government-issued photographic identification. Where age cannot be verified to our satisfaction, the Account will be restricted until adequate documentation is received and reviewed.

If we have any reason to suspect that an Account is being accessed or operated by a person under the age of 21, we will suspend the Account immediately and investigate. Any winnings accrued during a period of suspected underage use may be withheld pending the outcome of our investigation.

For parents and guardians: If you believe that a person under the age of 21 in your household is accessing the mycity44 Platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that we can take swift action. We recommend the use of parental control software to prevent underage access to online gambling platforms.

Deposit Limit Procedures

Deposit limits are available to all registered mycity44 players at any time. The following table summarises the available limit types and their effective timelines:

Limit Type Available Periods Reduction Takes Effect Increase Takes Effect
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediately After 24-hour review period
Loss Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediately After 24-hour review period
Wager Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly Immediately After 24-hour review period
Session Time Limit Per session (30 min – 8 hrs) Immediately After 24-hour review period

To set or modify any of the above limits, please contact our Live Chat support team or email [email protected]. All limit requests are processed securely and confirmed in writing.

Self-Exclusion Procedure

Self-exclusion is a voluntary programme through which a Player can request that their Account be suspended for a defined period or permanently. mycity44 offers the following self-exclusion periods:

  • 1 month
  • 3 months
  • 6 months
  • 1 year
  • Permanent self-exclusion (irrevocable)

During self-exclusion, your Account will be inaccessible. Deposits, withdrawals, and betting activity will all be blocked. Any available Real Money balance in your Account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed for withdrawal to your verified payment method, subject to KYC completion.

All marketing communications — including promotional emails, SMS messages, and bonus offers — are suspended immediately upon activation of a self-exclusion. mycity44 will not contact you with any marketing material during your self-exclusion period.

Self-exclusion requests cannot be reversed before the end of the chosen period. For permanent self-exclusion, the decision is final and irrevocable. We take these requests seriously because we know that for many players, the ability to make a firm commitment is a critical part of recovery.

How to self-exclude: Contact our 24/7 Live Chat support team and clearly state that you wish to self-exclude, along with your preferred exclusion period. Our team will process the request within minutes and send written confirmation. You may also email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".

Responsible Advertising

mycity44 is committed to advertising its Services in a responsible and transparent manner. Our marketing materials are targeted only at adults aged 21 and above. We do not place gambling advertisements in contexts where a significant proportion of the audience is likely to be under the age of 21.

Our bonus and promotional offers are not designed to target vulnerable players. Players who have activated any responsible gambling tool — including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion — are automatically removed from marketing lists for the duration of that tool's activation.
