Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

More than just a slogan — these are real steps shell88 takes every day to protect the well-being of every member.

Personal Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account panel. Limits take effect immediately and can only be decreased, not increased without a cooling-off period.

Session Time Limit

Control how long you play by setting a daily session limit. Our system will send you a reminder when your time is almost up and will automatically log you out once the limit is reached.

Time-Out

Need a short break? Activate the Time-Out feature to block access to your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. This period cannot be shortened once activated.

Self-Exclusion

For more serious cases, long-term self-exclusion is available from 6 months up to 5 years. During this period, your account will be fully frozen, including all promotions and marketing invitations.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to bear within a given period. Once this limit is reached, the system will automatically block any additional wagering for that period.

Support & Counselling

Shell88's support team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and will connect you with professional help resources when needed, without any judgement.


1What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to an approach where entertainment is the primary purpose — not a means of generating steady income or escaping everyday problems. At shell88, we take this seriously, knowing that without the right foundation, online gaming can have negative consequences for individuals and their families.

The core principle of responsible gaming at shell88 is simple: only bet with money you can afford to lose, set your own limits before you start playing, and know when to stop. No single win or loss should ever change that stance.

Our platform is designed not only to deliver an engaging entertainment experience, but also to ensure every step of your gaming journey is supported by a robust control system. We believe members who play responsibly are those who will continue to enjoy our platform for the long term.

Remember: Gaming is entertainment, not an investment. Wins are never guaranteed, and every bet carries the risk of losing money. Only bet amounts that will not affect your financial responsibilities.

2Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Problem gambling rarely develops overnight. It typically starts gradually and can be difficult for the individual involved to recognise. Look out for the following signs — whether in yourself or a loved one — as signals to seek help immediately:

Thinking about gambling almost constantly, even while working or spending time with family
Betting with money intended for bills, rent, or essential family expenses
Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already lost
Lying to family members or friends about your gaming activity or the amount of money spent
Feeling anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when unable to play
Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling
Borrowing money or selling assets to obtain additional funds for gambling
Needing to increase wager amounts to get the same level of excitement as before
If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to contact the shell88 support team immediately or use the self-exclusion tool available in your account.

3How to Use shell88's Self-Control Tools

All of shell88's self-control tools are accessible directly from your account settings panel without needing to contact customer support. The activation process is straightforward and takes less than two minutes. Here's how:

1
Log in to your shell88 account

Access your account via shell88.win or the shell88 mobile app. Always ensure you are using a secure internet connection.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click the profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu that appears.

3

Within the settings page, look for the tab labelled "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control". All available tools will be displayed here.

5
Instant Activation

All activated limits take effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email as a record. Limits can only be decreased, not increased, except after the designated cooling-off period.

4Special Protection for Young Users

Shell88 strictly restricts platform access to individuals aged 18 years and above only. This is not merely a legal requirement — it is our moral commitment to the younger generation of Malaysia.

The shell88 registration process requires age verification through a strict KYC (Know Your Customer) check. Every identification document submitted is reviewed before an account is fully approved. We also use automated detection systems to identify any attempts to bypass this age verification process.

For parents and guardians, we recommend the following additional precautionary steps:

  • Use parental control software on devices shared with children
  • Ensure your login credentials are not accessible to your children
  • Have open conversations with teenagers about the risks of online gambling
  • Report to us immediately if you suspect your account has been accessed by an underage individual
Any account confirmed to be owned or used by an individual under 18 years of age will be closed immediately and all account balances will be refunded in accordance with the relevant procedures. shell88 takes this matter extremely seriously.

5Smart Playing Tips

Betting smart doesn't mean you can't have fun. It simply means enjoying your gaming experience in a way that doesn't interfere with your daily life. Here are some practical tips from the shell88 team:

  • Set a budget before playing — Decide on the amount you are willing to spend before opening any game. Treat it like an entertainment ticket, not investment capital.
  • Don't play when stressed — Betting decisions made in an emotionally unstable state typically lead to regret. Take a break first if you are feeling stressed, sad, or angry.
  • Take regular breaks — Every 60 minutes of play, take a break of at least 10 minutes. Stand up, stretch, drink some water, and step away from the screen for a while.
  • Don't chase losses — If you reach your loss limit for the day, stop. Chasing losses is one of the most common traps in problem gambling.
  • Try other games too — Make sure gambling is not your only form of entertainment. Maintain a healthy balance with social activities, sports, and other hobbies.
  • Review your transaction history — Review your deposit and withdrawal records regularly. This helps you stay aware of the actual amount you have spent.
  • Share with a trusted person — Tell a trusted partner or family member about your gaming activity. Transparency helps prevent problematic habits from forming.

6Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A deposit limit that has been set can be reduced immediately. However, to increase or cancel a limit, a mandatory cooling-off period applies — 7 days for daily and weekly limits, and 30 days for monthly limits. This is a protective measure to ensure your decisions are made carefully and not in the heat of the moment.

During a self-exclusion period, your account will be fully frozen. Any remaining balance in your account will be kept securely and can be reclaimed once the self-exclusion period ends. You will not receive any marketing or promotional communications throughout this period.

No. A self-exclusion period cannot be shortened or cancelled once activated. This is a firm shell88 policy to protect the long-term interests of our members. If you choose a 6-month self-exclusion, the account will remain inactive for the full duration of that period.

You can reach shell88's dedicated support team via 24/7 Live Chat on the platform, or by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming". All enquiries related to this matter are handled with complete confidentiality and zero judgement.
