Shell99's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At shell99, we understand that online gaming is not just about winning or losing — it is about an entertainment experience that should be enjoyed in a healthy and controlled way. As a trusted entertainment platform in Malaysia, we take a serious and proactive approach to ensuring every member plays responsibly.

Responsible gaming is not just a slogan for us — it is part of shell99's DNA. Since the platform was founded, we have continuously invested in developing tools, systems, and policies that help our members maintain full control over their gaming habits. We believe that members who play wisely are our most satisfied and loyal members.

This page provides all the information you need about the self-control tools we offer, the warning signs of problem gambling, and the steps you can take to ensure your gaming activity remains enjoyable and never becomes a burden.

Important Reminder: Online gaming is purely for entertainment and should be treated as an entertainment expense, not as a source of income or a way to resolve financial problems. Gambling can be addictive — play within limits you can afford to lose.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of practices and attitudes that allow individuals to enjoy gambling as entertainment without letting it negatively impact their daily lives. This includes setting time and money limits, understanding the odds of winning and losing, and knowing when to stop.

Shell99 fully supports these principles by providing a transparent and fair gaming environment equipped with tools that help you stay in control. Every feature on our platform is designed with member well-being in mind — including a clear display of time spent playing, easily accessible transaction records, and flexible wagering limit options.

Age Restriction: Adults 18 Years and Above Only

Shell99 strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 years for all platform members. This goes beyond legal compliance — it is our moral responsibility. All new account registrations are subject to a rigorous identity verification (KYC) process, including age verification via valid government-issued identification.

If you become aware of any underage individual using this platform, we encourage you to report it to our support team immediately. We will investigate every such report seriously and take appropriate action, including freezing the account in question.

All self-control tools on shell99 are free and can be activated instantly through your account settings. There are no hidden fees or waiting periods to use these protection features.

Self-Control Tools Provided by shell99

Shell99 provides a range of self-control tools available to you at any time. All of these tools are designed to help you maintain full control over your gaming habits:

Daily/Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit in a day or a week. This limit takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a 24-hour waiting period.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum time limit for each gaming session. When the limit is reached, you will receive a notification and the session will end automatically.

Cool-Off

Activate a mandatory break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers on your account.

Self-Exclusion

Long-term self-exclusion options of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. During this period, your account will be fully blocked and cannot be reopened.

Gaming Activity Tracker

View a full summary of your gaming activity, including total time played, total amount wagered, and win/loss records for your selected period.

Promotional Notification Controls

Manage and limit promotional notifications, bonus offers, and marketing communications that may encourage you to play more than you planned.

Signs of Problem Gaming

Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is an important first step. Review the checklist below — if you identify with three or more of these signs, we encourage you to contact our support team or seek professional help:

  • Gambling with money meant for daily needs such as rent, food, or bills
  • Lying to family members or friends about the time and money spent gambling
  • Feeling the need to increase the amount wagered to get the same level of excitement
  • Trying to chase losses by placing bigger bets (chasing losses)
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut back or stop gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or uncomfortable feelings
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
  • Repeatedly failing to control, reduce, or stop gambling

Helpline: If you or someone you know needs help with gambling addiction, contact Talian Kasih 15999 (24 hours, free) or the nearest Community Service Centre in Malaysia. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

6
Contact Support

If you need further assistance or would like to speak with our team, our 24/7 live chat support is always ready to help.

Self-Assessment Test

Answer the following questions honestly to assess whether your gaming habits are at a healthy level. This is not a clinical diagnosis — it is a personal guide for self-reflection:

1

Have you ever played longer or spent more than you originally planned?

2

Have you ever felt guilty or regretted a gaming session?

3

Has the money you used for gaming ever affected your budget for daily necessities?

4

Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from loved ones?

5

Have you ever tried to stop or cut back on gambling but failed?

6

Do you play to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?

If you answered "Yes" to two or more of the questions above, we encourage you to contact the shell99 support team or seek professional guidance. Taking that first step is the smartest and most courageous thing you can do.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

The most frequently asked questions by shell99 members about our responsible gaming programme.

Log in to your shell99 account, go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming". There you will find options to set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Enter your desired limit amount and confirm the change. The limit takes effect immediately. If you wish to lower your limit, it applies instantly. However, if you wish to raise your limit, there is a 24-hour waiting period as an additional layer of protection.

A cool-off is a short break period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days during which your account is temporarily blocked. Once the period ends, your account will be reactivated automatically. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a more serious and lasting measure for a longer duration — 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. During a self-exclusion period, your account cannot be reopened even if you change your mind, ensuring your commitment is fully honoured.

No, all self-control tools on shell99 are completely free with no hidden charges. Deposit limits, time limits, cool-off, self-exclusion, and the activity tracker are all available at no cost. We believe access to self-protection tools is every member's right, not a premium feature. Our goal is to ensure every member has everything they need to play safely and responsibly.

During an active self-exclusion period, your account cannot be reopened for any reason. This is an intentional security feature to ensure your commitment is fully honoured. Once the self-exclusion period ends, you will need to contact our support team directly to request account reactivation. Our team will conduct a brief review to ensure you are ready to return to playing responsibly before the account is reactivated.

shell99 applies a strict KYC (Know Your Customer) process that requires all new members to submit a copy of valid identification documents upon registration. Our system verifies details including age before an account is fully activated. Additionally, we encourage parents and guardians to install parental control software on shared devices to prevent access by minors. Any account suspected of being used by an underage individual will be immediately suspended pending investigation.

In Malaysia, there are several professional support resources available to you. Talian Kasih 15999 operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and offers free counselling services. You can also seek help through Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta in Perak, which provides addiction treatment programmes, or visit the mental health clinic at your nearest government hospital. Additionally, the Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia Association offers peer support to help you through the recovery process. shell99 is always ready to help you find the right resources — reach our support team via live chat.
