Gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, anxiety, or financial hardship. mancity88 is committed to providing every Malaysian player with the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control of their gambling.
Our Commitment
At mancity88, responsible gambling is not a compliance checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We built this platform for Malaysian players who enjoy betting on EPL, Liga Super Malaysia, and live casino games as a form of entertainment. Keeping gambling enjoyable means keeping it in its proper place.
Responsible gambling means betting only with money you can afford to lose, understanding the odds and the nature of chance, and treating wins and losses with equal perspective. It means setting time and money limits before you start, not chasing losses, and taking breaks whenever gaming stops being fun.
mancity88 provides every registered player — whether in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, or anywhere else in Malaysia — with a full suite of responsible gambling tools that can be activated at any time, without judgement, with immediate effect. These tools are described in detail below, and our 24/7 support team is always available to help you use them.
We also actively monitor player behaviour for indicators of problem gambling and may proactively reach out if we observe patterns of concern. This is not surveillance — it is care. We would rather have a conversation with a player at risk than ignore it.
You play for fun, not to make money. You set a budget before you start and stop when it's gone. You are comfortable taking breaks. Gambling does not affect your relationships, sleep, work, or daily responsibilities.
You are spending more than planned. You are thinking about gambling when doing other things. You have increased your bet sizes to chase losses. Family or friends have expressed concern about your gambling habits.
Feel unable to stop gambling even when you want to. Are gambling with money meant for essential expenses like rent, food, or utilities. Are hiding your gambling from family. Are experiencing anxiety, guilt, or distress related to gambling.
In-Platform Controls
Every mancity88 player has access to all of the following tools — for free, instantly, without judgement. Contact our support team at any time to activate, adjust, or tighten any of these controls.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set a maximum net loss permitted within a defined period (daily, weekly, or monthly). When your loss limit is reached, gaming activities are automatically paused for the remainder of the period. This prevents a single bad session from spiralling into a damaging one.
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your limit is reached, you will be notified and the session will end with an automatic logout. You can also enable periodic session reminders at 30, 60, or 90-minute intervals to help maintain awareness of time spent.
Take a temporary break from gambling without fully closing your account. Cool-off periods are available for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account is locked — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
Request a longer-term or permanent self-exclusion from mancity88. Exclusion periods are available from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of confirmation and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Your data is retained for regulatory purposes.
Enable periodic pop-up alerts that show your session duration and net result at set intervals. Reality checks interrupt the flow of play to provide a clear, factual snapshot — how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and your current balance. A small pause that can make a big difference.
To activate any tool immediately, contact our support team at [email protected] or via live chat. All requests are processed promptly and confidentially.
Step by Step
Setting your limits and safeguards on mancity88 is straightforward. You do not need to explain yourself — all requests are treated with respect and confidentiality. Here is how to get started.
Deposit limit reductions, cool-off periods, and self-exclusion requests all take effect immediately or within 24 hours. We prioritise player safety over platform engagement — always.
Access your account via the mancity88 platform from any device. All responsible gambling tools are accessible from your account settings menu without needing to contact support first.
The dedicated Responsible Gambling section in your account settings contains all available self-control tools in one place — deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, cool-off, and self-exclusion options.
Choose the specific limit or control you wish to set. For deposit, loss, and time limits, specify your preferred limit amount and period. For cool-off or self-exclusion, select the duration.
Review the details and confirm. Reductions and restrictions take effect immediately. Increases to existing limits have a mandatory 24-hour delay to allow reflection time before they apply.
If you prefer assistance activating any tool, or if you require a self-exclusion that extends beyond standard account settings, contact our support team at [email protected]. We respond 24/7 and treat all such requests as a priority.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often not obvious to the person experiencing it. Recognising these warning signs early makes it significantly easier to get help and regain control.
Recognising these signs in yourself — or in someone you care about — is an important and courageous first step. Please use the self-exclusion or cool-off tools available in your mancity88 account, speak to our support team confidentially, or contact Talian Kasih (15999) or GamCare for free professional support. You do not have to manage this alone.
Reflect & Assess
Take a moment to honestly answer the questions on the right. There are no right or wrong answers — this is purely for your own reflection. If you find yourself answering "yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to use our responsible gambling tools or reach out for support.
Please consider activating a cool-off period or self-exclusion through your account settings, or contact our support team or Talian Kasih (15999) for a confidential conversation. Getting support early makes a real difference.
Ask Yourself Honestly:
Do I sometimes gamble more than I planned to, or for longer than I intended?
Have I ever tried to win back money I have lost through more gambling?
Has gambling ever caused arguments or tension with family, friends, or a partner?
Have I ever gambled with money that was set aside for rent, bills, food, or other necessities?
Do I think about gambling frequently when I am doing other things — at work, at home, or while trying to sleep?
Have I ever hidden my gambling activity from people who are close to me?
Have I ever felt that I need to gamble with increasing amounts to feel the same level of excitement?
Have I ever felt that gambling is causing me stress, guilt, anxiety, or unhappiness?

Protecting Young People
mancity88 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all gaming services. This is non-negotiable. Age verification is conducted at registration and may be requested again at any time, including before a withdrawal is processed.
We take the responsibility of keeping minors away from gambling content seriously. If you share devices with younger family members — whether at home in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or anywhere else in Malaysia — please take the following precautions to ensure they cannot access your mancity88 account.
If you become aware that a person under the age of 21 has accessed or is attempting to access the mancity88 platform, please notify us immediately at [email protected]. Any account found to be held by a person under 21 will be immediately closed, with funds returned to the originating payment source.
Never share your mancity88 username and password with anyone. Log out of your account after every session, particularly on shared devices or computers. Enable two-factor authentication for an additional layer of security.
Consider installing parental control or content filtering software on shared devices. Many internet service providers and device manufacturers offer built-in parental controls that can restrict access to gambling websites for children and teenagers in your household.
Open conversations about gambling — what it is, how it works, and why it is age-restricted — are one of the most effective preventative measures. Encourage young people to understand that gambling is not a way to make money and is never appropriate for those under 21.

Problem gambling affects people across all backgrounds, income levels, and cities — from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru, from first-time bettors to long-term players. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. All support services listed above are free and confidential. Taking the first step is the hardest part — it gets easier from there.
Play Smarter
These practical habits help keep gambling in its proper role — as entertainment, not a financial strategy or emotional crutch.
Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you log in — not while you are playing. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, the same as a night out or a cinema ticket. When the budget is gone, stop. Use deposit limits to make this automatic.
It is easy to lose track of time during an engaging betting session. Set a session time limit before you start — and stick to it when it goes off. Use mancity88's session time tools to make this automatic. Regular breaks keep gambling fresher and less compulsive.
All casino games are designed with a house edge — over time, the platform wins more than it pays out. Sports betting requires genuine knowledge to be sustainable. Gambling is not an investment strategy and should never be treated as a way to generate income.
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to try to win back what you have lost — is one of the clearest signs of problematic gambling behaviour. Losses are the cost of playing. Accept them and walk away. Use a loss limit on your mancity88 account to enforce this automatically.
Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Impaired judgement leads to poor decisions and higher losses. Gambling is best enjoyed with a clear head and a calm, relaxed mindset.
Gambling should be one of many leisure activities in your life — not your primary source of entertainment, social interaction, or emotional regulation. Maintaining strong relationships, hobbies, and routines outside of gambling is one of the most protective factors against problem gambling.
Play Safely, Play Enjoyably
Our responsible gambling tools, 24/7 support team, and commitment to player safety are here whenever you need them. If you want to set limits, take a break, or just talk to someone — we are always available. Play smart, play within your means, and enjoy the game.
For players aged 21 and above only. If you need immediate support, call Talian Kasih on 15999 (free, 24/7) or contact mancity88 support at [email protected].
