What is 160's commitment to responsible gaming?
160 believes online entertainment should bring enjoyment, not stress or financial hardship. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all users in Malaysia.
The 160 platform upholds responsible gaming principles through the following approach:
- Providing clear and easily accessible information on the risks of excessive gambling.
- Offering self-control tools that allow users to set their own limits.
- Ensuring the platform is only accessible to adults aged 18 and above.
- Encouraging users to seek professional help when needed, without any shame or stigma.
- Not pressuring or encouraging users to play beyond their means.
We want every 160 user to enjoy long-term entertainment — and that starts with making smart choices today.
How do I recognise the signs of at-risk gaming behaviour?
Recognising early warning signs is a crucial first step. If you or someone you know is showing any of the following signs, consider taking a break and seeking support.
Borrowing money or dipping into savings to play, and continuing to play despite ongoing losses.
Playing longer than planned, or neglecting daily responsibilities such as work and family.
Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when not playing; using gaming as a way to escape from problems.
Lying to family members or friends about gambling activity and how much money has been spent.
Continuing to play in hopes of winning back lost money, which often leads to even greater losses.
How to set healthy time and budget limits
One of the most effective ways to enjoy online entertainment safely is to set clear limits before you start playing. This proactive approach helps you stay in control without relying solely on platform-level restrictions.
Setting financial limits
- Decide on a maximum amount in MYR (RM) that you are comfortable spending on entertainment each week or month.
- Think of deposited funds as the cost of entertainment — not an investment or a source of income.
- Never play with money set aside for essentials such as rent, food, or bill payments.
- Stop playing once your set limit has been reached, even if things appear to be going well.
Managing your play time
- Set a fixed time limit for your sessions and stick to it.
- Take regular breaks during a gaming session to reassess how you are feeling.
- Avoid playing late at night or when you are feeling tired, stressed, or emotionally overwhelmed.
Self-control tools provided by the platform
160 supports users who want to take control of their gaming habits. Our platform provides several self-control mechanisms that can be requested through our support team.
Set a daily or weekly maximum deposit limit in MYR to control how much money goes into your account.
Request a temporary cooling-off period of a few days or weeks whenever you feel you need a break.
If you feel you need to step away for an extended period, you can request a self-exclusion through 160 support.
To use any of the self-control tools above, contact the 160 support team at [email protected]. All requests are handled with care and respect, and without judgement.
Minor protection and healthy life balance
Child & Teen Protection
The 160 platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take the protection of children and minors very seriously. Account registration requires age verification, and 160 reserves the right to suspend any account suspected of being owned or accessed by an underage individual.
If you share a device with children or teenagers at home, we encourage you to:
- Log out of your 160 account after every session and never save your password on shared devices.
- Use parental controls on your device to block access to gambling sites.
- Have open conversations with your children about the risks of online gambling.
Maintaining a healthy life balance
Online entertainment should only be a small part of a balanced life. Make sure gaming does not replace your social connections, physical activity, family time, or professional responsibilities. If you find that gaming is starting to dominate your time and thoughts, consider reaching out to a qualified mental health professional or counsellor.
Remember: seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. The 160 support team is ready to help connect you with the right resources — reach us at [email protected].
