sicbo's Commitment to Malaysian Players

Sicbo Responsible Gaming — Malaysia Safe Gambling Guide

At sicbo, safe and responsible entertainment is our priority. This page contains all the tools, guides, and resources you need to ensure your gaming experience stays enjoyable — never a burden.

Protection Tools Available 24/7
18 and Above Only

Six Tools We Provide to Keep You Protected

Every one of these tools can be activated for free, instantly, from your sicbo account.

AVAILABLE

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set a maximum limit on how much MYR you can deposit within a 24-hour or 7-day period. Once the limit is reached, sicbo automatically blocks any further deposits until the limit period resets. You can set a limit as low as RM20 per day.

AVAILABLE

Weekly / Monthly Loss Limit

Set the maximum net loss amount you're comfortable with per week or month. Once your loss limit is reached, no further bets can be placed until the period ends. This tool is highly effective for keeping your gaming budget under control.

AVAILABLE

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or any duration you choose. When time is up, sicbo will send an alert and the session will end automatically. This feature helps prevent unintentional extended play.

AVAILABLE

Temporary Self-Break (Cool-Off)

Need a short break from playing? Activate the cool-off feature for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During the cool-off period, your account will be blocked from all betting activity. A brief pause can offer fresh perspective and help you return to playing with greater control.

AVAILABLE

Self-Exclusion

If you feel gambling is starting to affect your life, the self-exclusion option lets you lock your sicbo account for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. During this period, the account cannot be accessed by anyone and you will not receive any promotional communications from sicbo.

AVAILABLE

Real-Time Reminders

Sicbo sends automatic alerts when you're approaching your set deposit or loss limits. Notifications are also sent after every 30 minutes of continuous play as a reminder to take a break. These alerts can be customised to suit your needs from your account settings.

What Is Responsible Gaming at sicbo?

Sicbo believes gambling should remain a form of entertainment — much like catching a JDT match at Stadium Larkin on the weekend, or watching the EPL with friends at a mamak. It's genuinely enjoyable when done right, but it can become a problem when it goes unchecked.

Responsible gaming means playing within your means — both in terms of time and money. It means knowing when to stop, understanding your own limits, and recognising that sicbo is not a way to solve financial problems or relieve life's pressures. The sicbo platform provides a range of tools and resources to help you stay in full control of your gaming experience.

Sicbo's commitment to responsible gaming is more than a slogan or a licensing requirement — it is a core value that shapes how we design our platform, how we communicate with our members, and how we respond when a player may need support. We would rather lose a player who chooses to take a break than see entertainment become a burden to any of our members.

Gambling Is Not a Financial Solution

Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Rent, your children's food allowance, or credit card debt are lines that should never be crossed. sicbo is for entertainment only — not a source of income or a way to settle debts.

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight. It tends to develop gradually and without notice. Many people in Malaysia who struggle with problem gambling don't realise they have an issue until it begins to affect their relationships, finances, and mental health. Here are the warning signs to watch out for:

1
Thinking about gambling almost all the time
You find yourself planning your next bet at work, during your commute, or right before bed. Your mind keeps drifting to slots, poker, or Sports Betting on sicbo even in situations where it clearly isn't the time.
2
Increasing bet amounts to get the same level of excitement
There was a time when RM50 was enough for a good time. Now you need to bet RM500 or more to feel the same level of excitement. This is a sign of growing tolerance — just like any other addiction.
3
Chasing losses
You lose RM200 and instead of stopping, you deposit more to try to win it back. This "chasing losses" habit is extremely dangerous and can lead to far greater losses in a very short time.
4
Hiding gambling activity from loved ones
You lie to your partner, family, or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling. Feeling ashamed or afraid of being judged is a serious sign that something needs to change.
5
Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling
When you start borrowing from family members or friends, or even tapping into a Touch 'n Go emergency loan or other credit facilities solely to fund your gambling, that is a red flag you cannot afford to ignore.
6
Feeling restless or irritable when you're unable to gamble
If you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to access sicbo or any other gambling platform, these are signs of dependency that require immediate attention.
7
Neglecting work, family, or personal health responsibilities
Showing up late to work because you were playing slots into the early hours, missing family occasions because you were following a live Sports Betting event, or neglecting your own health — these are signs that gambling has taken over your priorities.

If you identify with two or more of the signs above, we encourage you to reach out to the sicbo support team at support@sicbo-khelo.com or activate the appropriate limit tools in your account settings right away. There is no shame in asking for help.

How to Set Gaming Limits on Your sicbo Account

Setting limits on your sicbo account is straightforward and takes less than two minutes. Here are the steps to access the responsible gaming settings:

1
Log in to your sicbo account
Go to sicbo-khelo.com and log in with your username and password. If you don't have an account yet, register for free on the Register.
2
Go to "Account Settings" or "Profile"
Click the profile icon or account menu at the top of the screen. From there, select "Account Settings" or "Security Settings".
3
Select "Responsible Gaming"
In the settings menu, look for the "Responsible Gaming" section. All protection tools — including deposit limits, loss limits, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion — are available here.
4
Choose the tool you want to activate
Click on the limit you want to set, enter the amount you're comfortable with, and confirm. Deposit and loss limits take effect immediately. Limit reductions apply after a 24-hour review period, while limit increases take effect immediately.
5
Confirm and save your settings
You will receive a confirmation email for every limit change. Keep these emails for your records. If you encounter any issues setting your limits, contact the sicbo support team via email or live chat.

Safe Gaming Principles at sicbo

In addition to the protection tools provided by sicbo, there are several personal practices we recommend to all our Malaysian players. These principles are easy to remember, and when followed consistently, they will help keep your gaming experience enjoyable and in control.

  • Set a budget before you start playing. Decide how much MYR you're comfortable spending before you open your sicbo account. This budget should come from your entertainment money — not from funds set aside for bills, rent, or your family's essential needs.
  • Treat losses as the cost of entertainment. Think of your sicbo bets the way you'd think of paying RM50 for a movie ticket — treat it as the cost of entertainment. If you win, that's a bonus, not an expectation.
  • Take regular breaks. Don't play for hours on end without a break. Get up, drink some water, and do something else for at least 15 minutes after every hour of play.
  • Don't play when you're in an emotional state. Anger, sadness, stress, or being under the influence of alcohol — these are all states that make poor decisions far more likely. Wait until you're in a better headspace before playing.
  • Balance it with other activities. Make sure gambling isn't your only hobby or source of entertainment. Keep up with sports, spend time with family, or pursue other interests so that sicbo stays a leisure option — not a compulsive habit.
  • Understand that the odds favour the platform. Casino games are designed with a house edge. Over the long run, most players will lose more than they win. Accept this reality and play for the enjoyment, not to "beat" the system.

Remember: A smart player knows when to stop. The greatest win in responsible gaming is being able to play today and still come back tomorrow — because you always play within your means.

Child Protection & Age Restrictions

Sicbo takes the protection of minors from online gambling extremely seriously. Our platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above, with no exceptions. We carry out age verification during the registration process and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time.

If you share a device with a family member under 18, we recommend enabling password protection on your device and ensuring you log out of your sicbo account after every session. Never share your login credentials with anyone, including family members.

If you suspect a minor is using a sicbo account — whether yours or someone else's — please contact us immediately at support@sicbo-khelo.com. We will act promptly to protect the child and close any accounts involved.

I have bet more than I planned to
I have tried to win back money I've lost
Someone close to me has raised concerns about my gambling

Check the statements above to see your self-assessment result.

Understanding Every Type of Limit on sicbo

Each limit is designed for a different purpose. Choose whichever works best for you.

DEPOSIT LIMIT

Deposit Limit — Controlling How Much Goes In

Deposit limits control how much you can load into your sicbo account within a set period. This is the most fundamental and important first line of defence. It works proactively — blocking problems before they arise, not after.

  • Can be set daily, weekly, or monthly
  • Minimum limit: RM20 per day
  • Limit reductions take effect within 24 hours
  • Can be adjusted anytime from account settings
LOSS LIMIT

Loss Limits — Your Primary Financial Safeguard

A loss limit works differently from a deposit limit — it tracks your net losses (deposits minus withdrawals) over a set period. Once you've reached that limit, you won't be able to continue playing until the period resets. This is the most effective tool for preventing harmful losses.

  • Tracks net losses, not total bets
  • Can be set on a weekly or monthly basis
  • Highly effective for chasing losses
  • Withdrawal of winnings is not affected
SELF-EXCLUSION

Self-Exclusion — A Drastic Step That Could Save You

Self-exclusion is a serious step taken when you feel that gambling is beginning to affect your life negatively. It's not a defeat — it's the greatest win in responsible gaming. During the self-exclusion period, all promotional communications from sicbo will be stopped and your account will be fully locked.

  • Choose your duration: 6 months, 1, 3, 5 years, or permanent
  • Takes effect immediately upon confirmation
  • Account balance returned before closure
  • Cannot be reversed before the period ends
TIME LIMIT

Session Time Limit — Keep Your Life in Balance

Many Malaysian players don't realise how much time they spend playing because platforms like sicbo are designed to be engaging. Session time limits ensure you take the breaks you need and remind you that there's life beyond the screen — family, work, health, and other hobbies that matter just as much.

  • Pop-up alert when the session limit is nearly reached
  • Automatic logout when the limit is reached
  • Ideal for players who enjoy long slots sessions
  • Can be combined with deposit limits for best results

Responsible Gaming Questions for sicbo

Log in to your sicbo account, go to Account Settings, then select the "Responsible Gaming" section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Enter your desired limit amount in RM and click save. New limits take effect immediately, while reductions to existing limits take effect within 24 hours. If you need assistance, contact us at support@sicbo-khelo.com.

No. Once self-exclusion has been activated and confirmed, it cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is intentional — a self-exclusion decision is a serious one made at a time when you need protection. Allowing easy cancellation would undermine the effectiveness of this tool. After the self-exclusion period ends, you will need to contact the support team manually to reactivate your account — it does not happen automatically.

Eligible cash balances (excluding bonus funds that have not met wagering requirements) will be returned to the payment method registered to your account before or during the self-exclusion process. Funds will be processed back to Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, FPX, or whichever payment method you used for your last deposit. This typically takes 1–3 business days.

Yes, completely. When you activate a cool-off or self-exclusion, the sicbo system will automatically stop all promotional communications, including bonus emails, re-engagement offers, and marketing notifications. You will only receive emails related to account security or transaction confirmations when necessary. If you continue to receive promotional communications after activating these tools, please contact us immediately.

The first step is to reach out to the sicbo support team at support@sicbo-khelo.com — we can help activate protection tools and provide initial guidance. For expert support on gambling addiction in Malaysia, you may contact Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta (Perak), which offers addiction treatment services, or ask your family doctor for a referral to a psychiatrist at a nearby government hospital. There is no shame in asking for help — it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
