Our Principles
Six Pillars of Responsible Gambling
dg186's approach to responsible gambling is built on six core principles that help players stay in control.
Session Time Limits
Set a time limit for your gaming sessions so the time you spend on the platform stays manageable. Regular breaks help you assess the game situation more clearly and make better decisions.
Personal Deposit Limits
dg186 allows players to set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits based on their own financial capacity. These limits ensure you do not spend more than your planned budget.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need to take a break from playing for a period of time, the self-exclusion tool lets you suspend access to your account for a duration you choose yourself.
Loss Limits
Set the maximum loss level you are willing to accept within a given period. Once this limit is reached, the system will automatically block further play to protect your account balance.
Activity History
Easily review your game records, transactions and betting behaviour patterns through the account panel. This information helps you honestly assess the extent of your playing habits.
Immediate Support
The dg186 support team is available 24/7 via live chat and email in Bahasa Melayu and English. Any concerns related to responsible gambling can be discussed with our team at any time.
Understanding Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling means making conscious and controlled choices about play — knowing your own limits, playing with money you can afford to lose, and not letting betting activities interfere with daily life, relationships or personal finances.
For most players, gambling is a form of entertainment. However, every player needs to be aware that game outcomes are influenced by chance. No strategy or method can consistently guarantee a win. It is important to approach every session with realistic expectations.
dg186 encourages all players to:
- Play only with money you can set aside for entertainment, not savings or borrowed funds
- Set time and money limits before starting a session
- Avoid playing when you are stressed, upset or under the influence of alcohol
- Take regular breaks and do not try to recover losses within a single session
- Balance gambling activity with other hobbies and social activities
- Feeling compelled or unable to stop playing even when losing
- Lying to family or friends about the time and money spent on gambling
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, family or financial responsibilities due to gambling
- Playing to escape problems or negative feelings
If you recognise the signs above in yourself or someone you care about, we strongly encourage you to seek help immediately. Responsible gambling is a shared responsibility — between the platform and the player.
Treat every deposit as an entertainment budget — not an investment. When your limit runs out, stop the session and take a break. Winnings are a bonus, not a guarantee.
Self-Management Tools at dg186
dg186 provides a range of tools accessible directly from your account panel. These tools are designed to give players full control without having to go through a complicated process.
Each tool can be set or adjusted to suit your needs. For tools that are protective in nature — such as loss limits and self-exclusion — changes that reduce protection will take effect after a cooling-off period to ensure decisions are made with care.
All self-management tools can be activated through the account settings section or by contacting the dg186 support team. Our team is available 24/7 in Bahasa Melayu and English.

How to Use Self-Management Tools
Simple steps to activate protection tools in your dg186 account.
Log In to Your Account
Access your dg186 account using your username and password. Make sure you are on the official dg186 website before entering your account details.
Go to Account Settings
Navigate to the "Settings" or "My Account" section. You will find a dedicated menu for responsible gambling tools there.
Choose the Right Limit
Select the type of limit you want to set — deposit limit, loss limit, time limit or self-exclusion — and enter the desired value or duration.
Confirm and Monitor
Confirm your limit settings. Review them regularly through your activity history to ensure your playing habits stay within the limits you have set.
Advanced Protection
Self-Exclusion — The Option to Take a Break
Self-exclusion is the most effective tool for players who feel they need to distance themselves from gambling for a period of time or permanently. dg186 offers self-exclusion for flexible durations to suit each player's needs.
While a self-exclusion period is active:
- The account will be blocked from all gambling activities
- You will not receive any promotions or marketing communications
- Any existing account balance can be withdrawn in accordance with the set procedures
- The exclusion period cannot be shortened — this is an intentional protective feature
To activate self-exclusion, contact the dg186 support team via live chat or email. Our team will help you through the process promptly and without question.
Help Resources
Getting Professional Help
If you or someone you know needs help with a gambling problem, professional support resources are available to assist. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
dg186 encourages players who are facing difficulties to:
- Speak with a trusted family member or close friend about your situation
- Seek advice from a licensed counsellor or mental health professional
- Contact responsible gambling support organisations operating in Malaysia
