1 viva99's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Viva99 believes that great online entertainment must be safe, enjoyable, and in control. As a platform trusted by hundreds of thousands of players across Malaysia, we take this responsibility seriously — not merely to meet legal requirements, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every member of our community.

Responsible gaming means playing within your means, understanding the risks involved, and knowing when to stop. It's not about avoiding entertainment — it's about enjoying it in a way that doesn't harm yourself, your family, or your finances.

We provide a range of tools and resources designed specifically to help you stay in control. These tools are accessible directly from your account settings, with no waiting or complicated process required. Choosing to use them is a sign of maturity and wisdom — not weakness.

All self-control tools at viva99 are free, confidential, and effective immediately once you activate it. No additional questions, no assessments — your privacy is fully protected.

We also train our customer support team to identify signs of problem gambling and respond with empathy and without judgment. If you reach out to us with gaming-related concerns, you will be treated with full respect and confidentiality.

2 Self-Control Tools Available at viva99

Viva99 offers a range of practical tools you can use on your own without needing to contact anyone. All tools are accessible through the Account Settings → Responsible Gaming within our platform.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once the limit is reached, any additional deposits will be automatically blocked until the limit period resets.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount you are comfortable with per day, week, or month. The system will block wagering activity once this limit is reached.

Session Time Limit

Choose how long you want to play in a single session. The system will send a reminder and automatically end the session once the set time has elapsed.

Cool-Off Period

Take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a duration of your choice. Your account will be temporarily suspended without affecting your balance or account history.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer, more serious break, the self-exclusion option allows you to block your account for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently.

Block Promotions

Opt out of receiving any promotional offers, bonuses, or marketing communications that may encourage you to play more than planned.

The limit you have set takes effect immediately. However, increasing your limit requires a 24–72 hour waiting period — this is intentional, to protect you from impulsive decisions.

3 Warning Signs of a Gambling Problem

Identifying early signs of a gambling problem is the most important first step. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

Gambling with money meant for daily necessities such as rent, bills, or food

Lying to family or friends about your habits or the amount of money spent on gambling

Feeling compelled to keep playing to "chase" losses that have already occurred

Unable to stop despite having repeatedly intended to do so

Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gaming

Borrowing money or selling assets to fund continued play

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not playing for a period of time

Disrupted sleep or constantly thinking about gambling even while doing other activities

On the other hand, here are gaming habits that healthy and positive that can serve as a guide:

Only play with disposable money you do not need for essential expenses

Set time and spending limits before starting a session and stick to them consistently

Treating any losses as entertainment costs — not debts that need to be "paid back"

Able to stop playing easily when you want to, without feeling pressured or addicted

4 Self-Assessment Test – Are You Playing Responsibly?

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to reach out to a professional helpline or use our self-exclusion tools.

1

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

2

Have you ever returned the next day to try to win back money you had lost?

3

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationship with your partner, family members, or friends?

4

Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from people close to you?

5

Have you ever used savings, loans, or bill money for gambling purposes?

6

Have you ever felt unsatisfied with small bets and kept increasing your wager amount to get the same level of excitement?

7

Have you ever felt guilty, ashamed, or stressed because of your gambling activity?

8

Has gambling ever caused you to neglect your work, studies, or family responsibilities?

This test is for personal guidance only and is not a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling habits, please seek help from a qualified mental health professional.

7 FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Log in to your viva99 account, then go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limit. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly limits. Reduced limits take effect immediately, while increases require a 24–72 hour waiting period for added protection.

Cool-Off Period is a temporary break ranging from 24 hours to 90 days — ideal if you simply need a short time away. Self-Exclusion is a long-term commitment ranging from 6 months to permanent — suitable if you are facing a more serious gambling problem and require a stronger, more lasting restriction.

To protect you, self-exclusion non-reversible before the minimum period has elapsed. This is an intentional design feature — it ensures you do not make impulsive decisions during a vulnerable phase. Once the minimum period ends, you will need to contact customer support and go through a brief assessment process before your account can be reinstated.

Yes, your account balance is completely safe. Self-exclusion only blocks wagering activity and deposits — it does not affect your existing balance. You may contact customer support to request a withdrawal of your balance during an active self-exclusion period, subject to our standard verification procedures.
