Responsible Gaming

Play Smart, Play Safe — indowd's Commitment to Malaysian Members

Gambling is entertainment, not a financial solution. indowd provides a range of tools and resources to ensure you always play in a healthy, controlled and responsible manner.

Full commitment to member safety Control tools available 24/7

Important: Gambling for Entertainment Only

Online gambling is only suitable for individuals aged 18 and above. If you or someone you know is experiencing a gambling problem, please use our self-exclusion tools or contact the relevant helpline. Remember — win or lose, your wellbeing matters more than money.

At indowd, we believe that enjoyable gaming is responsible gaming. This page was built not merely to meet compliance requirements — it exists because we genuinely care about the well-being of every one of our members.

Over the years of our operation, we have seen how important it is to maintain healthy boundaries in gambling. Many players who start with purely entertainment intentions sometimes forget to set limits for themselves. That is why we have built a range of control tools directly into our platform — not as an add-on, but as an integral part of the gaming experience itself.

Responsible gaming means playing with money you can afford to spend on entertainment, setting clear time and spending limits, and knowing when to stop — whether after a big win or after reaching your loss limit. indowd provides all the tools you need to do this with ease.

Indowd provides a comprehensive and easy-to-use set of control tools directly from your account dashboard. All tools are free and take effect immediately once you have set them.

Daily/Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit per day, week or month. Once the limit is reached, our system will automatically block any further deposits.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you can afford within a given period. Once this limit is reached, you will not be able to continue wagering until the limit period expires.

Set a maximum duration for each of your gaming sessions. The system will send a reminder when the time limit is approaching and automatically log you out if necessary.

Game Break

Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or one week without having to close your account. This feature is ideal when you feel the need to step away from gambling for a while.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, use the self-exclusion feature to block your account for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, one year, or permanently.

View a detailed report of your gaming activity including total time played, deposits, wins and losses to help you make informed decisions.

Problem Gambling Signs to Watch Out For

Recognising the early signs of a gambling problem is the most important first step. Here are some warning signs to watch for in yourself or those around you.

Gambling with Money You Cannot Afford to Lose

Using money meant for daily essentials such as rent, utility bills, food or your children's expenses for gambling is a serious warning sign.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to bet after heavy losses in the hope of recovering lost money — this pattern can lead to even greater losses and becomes difficult to stop.

Hiding Gambling Activity

Lying to family or friends about how much time or money has been spent on gambling, or feeling the need to hide this activity from loved ones.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Allowing work, family, relationships or health to suffer because too much time is spent gambling or thinking about gambling.

Feeling Distressed When Not Gambling

Experiencing anxiety, irritability or distress when trying to stop or reduce gambling — this may indicate a dependency that requires help.

Borrowing Money to Gamble

Borrowing money from family, friends or financial institutions solely for gambling is a very concerning warning sign.

Remember: Identifying a problem early is key to a successful recovery. If you recognise any of the above signs in yourself, don't wait — use indowd's self-exclusion tools or seek professional help immediately.

Self-Assessment — Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Answer the following questions honestly. If your answer is "Yes" to 3 or more questions, we recommend that you speak with a trusted person or contact the indowd support team.

1
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned?
2

3
Have you ever tried to stop gambling but failed to do so?
4
Has your gambling activity affected your relationships with family or friends?
5
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

Steps to Getting Help

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — on the contrary, it is a brave and wise decision. If you or someone you know needs help with a gambling problem, here are the steps you can take.

  • 1

    Acknowledge the Problem

    The first and hardest step is acknowledging that a problem exists. No one should feel ashamed — a gambling problem can happen to anyone and can be overcome with the right help.
