Responsible Gaming
at tokyo99

Tokyo99 believes gambling should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of stress or financial hardship. This page outlines our commitment and the tools available to help you play responsibly.

Introduction

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing at an online casino as a form of entertainment — with a pre-set budget, controlled time, and a clear head. You play because you want to enjoy the experience, not because you feel compelled to or are chasing losses.

At tokyo99, we care not only about delivering a great gaming experience — we also care about the wellbeing of every player who joins us. That is why we provide a range of account management tools, resources, and support that you can access at any time through your tokyo99 account.

Online casino games carry real financial risk. Wins are never guaranteed and should never be seen as a way to solve financial problems. If you are playing to "break even" or because you feel pressured, that is a sign you need to stop and seek help.

We ask all tokyo99 players to read this guide carefully and be aware of the early signs of problem gambling. Recognising the problem early is the first — and most important — step toward getting the help you need.

Always remember: Gambling should be limited to amounts you can afford to lose entirely. Never gamble with money set aside for essentials such as rent, food, or utility bills.

Core Principles

Five Principles of Safe Play

PRINCIPLE 01

Set Limits Before You Play

Decide how much you are willing to spend before opening a game. Stick to that limit without exception, even if you feel you are "almost winning."

PRINCIPLE 02

Play for Entertainment, Not Income

Think of money spent like a movie ticket — you pay for the experience, not to get your money back. Wins are a bonus, not a guarantee.

PRINCIPLE 03

Don't Chase Losses

If you have reached your loss limit, stop. Attempts to "break even" almost always lead to greater losses.

PRINCIPLE 04

Keep a Healthy Time Balance

Gambling should not interfere with your work hours, sleep, family time, or social activities. Set time limits and stick to them.

PRINCIPLE 05

Don't Play Under Pressure

Avoid gambling when you feel sad, angry, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol. An unstable emotional state leads to poor decision-making.

Management Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools at Tokyo99

All these tools are available directly within your tokyo99 account and can be activated at any time. We encourage every player to use them proactively.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount for your chosen time period. Once the limit is reached, the tokyo99 system will automatically decline any further deposit attempts until the period expires.

Play Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for your daily gaming session. When the time limit is approaching, you will receive a reminder. Once the limit is reached, your session will be ended automatically.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss amount for a given period. Once this limit is reached, your account will be automatically locked from placing new bets until the limit period ends.

Self-Break (Cooling-Off)

Choose a short break ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During this break period, you cannot make deposits or play, but you can still withdraw any available balance.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion options are available from 3 months up to permanent exclusion. During this period, your account is fully closed and cannot be reopened.

Real-Time Reminders

Enable notifications that tell you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These reminders help you stay aware of your gaming patterns.

All limits you set will take effect immediately. However, any request to increase limits require a waiting period of 24 to 72 hours — this is an intentional safeguard to allow time for reconsideration.

Self-Assessment

Are You Playing Responsibly?

Check in with yourself by answering the following questions honestly. This is not a diagnostic test — it is a personal reflection tool to help you assess your own gaming patterns.

If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions below, we encourage you to speak with someone you trust or reach out to a support helpline.

1Have you ever spent more than you could afford while gambling?
2Have you ever lied to family members or friends about the time or money you spend gambling?
3Have you ever gambled to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
4Have you ever tried to chase losses by placing larger bets?
5Has gambling interfered with your work, family, or financial responsibilities?
6Do you feel unable to stop or control how much you spend?
7Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, please consider using tokyo99's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Warning Signs

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling problems rarely appear overnight. They typically develop gradually. Here are the warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

Frequently thinking about gambling even while doing other activities

Needing to bet with increasingly larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement

Feeling restless, irritable, or uncomfortable when trying to stop gambling

Neglecting personal, family, or work responsibilities due to gambling

Hiding gambling activity from those close to you

Relying on others' money to pay gambling debts

Experiencing depression, anxiety, or negative thoughts linked to gambling

Recognising these signs early is crucial. The sooner you seek support, the easier it is to return to healthy gaming habits.

FAQ

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Log in to your tokyo99 account and go to the "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Limits take effect immediately once saved. For increase existing limits, there is a 24–72 hour waiting period as an added protective measure.

Self-Break is a temporary break ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. Once the period expires, your account will be reactivated automatically. Self-Exclusion is a more serious commitment — from 3 months up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully closed and you will not be able to register a new account at tokyo99. For permanent exclusion, the decision cannot be reversed.

Yes. During a self-break or self-exclusion period, you can still withdraw any valid balance in your account. You cannot make new deposits or place any bets, but funds already in your account remain yours and can be withdrawn following the standard procedure.

The first step is to contact the tokyo99 customer support team via 24/7 live chat. We will help you activate the appropriate tools, such as self-exclusion. For deeper professional support, you can reach out to:
  • Talian Kasih (1800-888-828) – Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Malaysia
  • Befrienders KL (03-7627 2929) – Mental health support
  • Your counsellor or family doctor for a referral to gambling support services

Absolutely not. tokyo99 strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from registering or using our platform. All accounts go through an age verification process during registration and during the KYC process. If we find that any account is held by an underage individual, the account will be closed immediately and all funds will be frozen. We encourage parents to use parental control software to prevent children from accessing gambling websites.

Unlike a self-break, accounts under self-exclusion are not reopened automatically. Once the period ends, you must actively contact our support team to request reactivation. There is a 7-day reassessment period during which we may ask about your readiness. This is a deliberate step to ensure your decision is fully considered and not impulsive.
