3star88's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
3star88 is fully committed to ensuring this platform is used as a source of enjoyable entertainment — not as a cause of stress or financial difficulty. We understand that every user comes from a different background and circumstance, which is why we offer a range of tools to help you manage your own gaming experience.
Our platform is built with user well-being in mind at every stage of the gaming experience.
Set your own limits — deposit limits, session time limits, and break options are all accessible directly from your account.
Our support team is always on hand if you have concerns about your gaming habits.
How to Recognise Risky Gambling Behaviour?
Gambling becomes a problem when it starts affecting daily life, personal relationships, or financial stability. Watch out for these early warning signs:
- Playing beyond the time or spending limits you set for yourself.
- Using money meant for essentials — bills, food, or loan repayments — to gamble.
- Being unable to stop playing even when you want to.
- Lying to family members or friends about your gaming activity.
- Playing to escape stress, boredom, or negative emotions.
- Trying to win back money that has been lost by continuing to play (chasing losses).
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling.
If you recognise any of the signs above in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to take action immediately.
How to Set Healthy Time and Budget Limits
Setting limits before you start playing is a best practice we encourage all 3star88 users to adopt. Here's a practical guide:
- Decide on an amount in MYR (RM) that you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.
- Never use savings, borrowed money, or funds set aside for essential needs as your playing budget.
- Once your budget is up, stop playing for the day.
- Set a time limit before you log in — for example, no more than one hour per day.
- Take regular breaks during your gaming sessions.
- Avoid playing late at night or when you're tired, as your judgement becomes impaired.
- Treat money spent on gambling as an entertainment expense, not an investment or a source of income.
- Never chase your losses — this is one of the riskiest behaviours in gambling.
- Game outcomes are random. No strategy can guarantee a win.
- Balance your time playing with other meaningful activities — spending time with family, staying active, and getting proper rest.
Self-Control Tools Available at 3star88
3star88 offers a range of self-control tools accessible directly from your account settings. These tools are designed to put you in full control of your gaming experience:
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in RM based on what you can comfortably afford.
Activate a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 30 days to give yourself time and space to reflect.
If needed, you may apply for a full self-exclusion from the platform for an extended period.
Set a maximum loss limit over a given period so you never exceed the budget you've planned for.
To access or activate any of the above features, log in to your account and go to Account Settings, or contact our support team at [email protected] for assistance.
Minor Protection
3star88 takes the protection of children and teenagers very seriously. Our platform is strictly for users aged 18 years and above. We have put in place the following measures to prevent access by minors:
- Age verification is mandatory during new account registration.
- Identity document verification may be requested at any time.
- Accounts suspected of belonging to underage users will be suspended immediately pending investigation.
For parents and guardians: If you're concerned that your child or dependent may be accessing online gambling platforms, we encourage you to use parental control software available for smartphones and computers.
