Citi88 Player Protection Tools

We offer a range of free tools you can use at any time to stay in control.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Limits take effect immediately and can be reduced at any time to keep your spending in check.

Session Time Limit

Set how many hours a day you want to play. The citi88 platform will send automatic reminders when you are approaching your set time limit, helping you maintain a healthy balance between entertainment and daily life.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break, the cool-off feature lets you suspend your account for 24 hours up to 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make any transactions.

Self-Exclusion

For long-term protection, the self-exclusion option lets you close account access for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This request cannot be reversed before the period ends.

Maximum Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss limit you are comfortable with for a given period. Once this limit is reached, the citi88 system will automatically block any further betting activity until the limit resets.

Full Activity History

View all transactions, betting records, and session history through your account dashboard. This full transparency helps you understand your gaming patterns and make smarter decisions.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means you stay in full control of your wagering activity — not the other way around. At citi88, we believe online gambling should be purely a source of entertainment, just like watching a movie or dining out with friends.

Most players enjoy a safe and fun experience every day. That said, we recognise that some players may find it difficult to keep their gaming habits in check. That is why citi88 actively invests in protective tools, staff training, and partnerships with local support organisations.

The core principle of responsible gaming we practise at citi88 is straightforward: only play with money you can afford to lose, set limits before you start, never chase losses, and make sure betting never gets in the way of your daily responsibilities such as bills, meals, and family.

Remember — wins are a bonus, not a guarantee. Every game at citi88 runs on a certified random number generator (RNG), ensuring all outcomes are completely random and unpredictable.

Why Does Responsible Gaming Matter?

Uncontrolled gambling habits can have serious consequences — from financial difficulties and strained family relationships to declining work performance and mental health issues. Research shows that early detection and timely intervention can help individuals recover fully before problems escalate.

As a trusted platform in Malaysia, citi88 does more than provide access to games — we take responsibility for the well-being of our players. This goes beyond a legal obligation; it reflects our core company value of putting players ahead of short-term profit.

Age Restriction and Verification

Only individuals aged 21 and above are permitted to register and play at citi88. Our KYC verification process ensures every registering player undergoes strict age checks using official identification documents. Any account found to have been registered by an underage individual will be closed immediately and funds returned.

If you suspect someone under the age of 21 is using an account at citi88, please contact us via live chat or email us at [email protected] immediately. We take this issue very seriously.

Gambling can be addictive. Play responsibly. citi88 provides free self-control tools for all registered members. Contact our support team if you need help.

How to Use citi88 Self-Control Tools

Accessing self-control tools at citi88 is straightforward and can be done on your own without contacting customer support. Once logged in, go to "Account Settings" and select "Responsible Gaming". From there, you can set or modify all available limits. Note that limit decreases take effect immediately, while limit increases require a 72-hour waiting period as an added layer of protection.

Quick Self-Assessment

FAQ

No. Self-exclusion is a final decision that cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is intentional by design to provide effective protection for players. Once the exclusion period expires, you will need to contact customer support manually to request account reactivation, and a mandatory 7-day waiting period applies.

Yes, completely. All information related to self-control settings, gaming history, and support requests is fully confidential. It will not be shared with any third party except as required by law. Customer support staff handling these cases are also bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Any remaining balance in your account when self-exclusion is activated will be processed for withdrawal and returned to your registered bank account or e-wallet. This process typically takes 3 to 5 business days. No fees or deductions are applied to withdrawals made during the self-exclusion period.

citi88 uses a two-tier KYC verification process that requires every player to submit a valid copy of their MyKad or passport. Our system automatically verifies date of birth, and any application from an individual under the age of 21 is rejected immediately. Continuous monitoring is also carried out to detect any identity fraud attempts.

Yes, you can apply to increase your deposit limit. However, increases do not take effect immediately — a mandatory 72-hour waiting period applies after the request is submitted, giving you time to reconsider. Conversely, limit reductions take effect immediately with no waiting period.

In Malaysia, you can get help through Talian Kasih 15999, which operates 24 hours a day, the Ministry of Health Malaysia via government hospitals offering mental health services, and non-governmental organizations such as Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia. The citi88 support team can also help you find more information about suitable resources.
