Pressure — Play Within Your Means

Healthy Entertainment Starts with Smart Choices

Many of us play slots or online casino games purely for fun — to unwind after a long day at work, or simply to try our luck once in a while. That is perfectly normal and there is nothing wrong with it, as long as it is done within reasonable limits and does not disrupt our daily lives.

However, Tekan88 recognises that for some individuals, gaming activities can turn into a problem if left unmanaged. That is why we take a proactive and sincere approach to ensuring our platform remains a safe environment for everyone.

As a trusted platform in Malaysia, our responsibility does not stop at entertainment alone. We are equally committed to ensuring every member understands their limits, is aware of the risks involved, and knows where to seek help when needed.

Always Remember: Online gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. Never use money set aside for essential family needs — such as rent, utility bills, or school fees — for gambling.
Responsible Gaming Principles
Set a gaming budget before you start and stick to it strictly.
Play for entertainment, not to chase your losses.
Limit your playing time and take regular breaks.
Don't play when you are emotionally unstable.
Only use disposable funds — not money meant to pay debts or cover necessities.
Seek help immediately if you feel gaming is starting to take over your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled the most frequently asked questions from our members regarding responsible gaming at Tekan88.

Log in to your Tekan88 account and go to the Account Settings section. There you will find the "Responsible Limits" option where you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. The limits you set take effect immediately and can only be decreased right away, while increasing a limit requires a 48-hour waiting period as an added safeguard.

Time-Out is a temporary break lasting from 24 hours to 30 days during which you cannot log in or place any bets. Once the period ends, your account will be automatically reactivated. Self-Exclusion is a more serious step — your account will be blocked for a minimum of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During the self-exclusion period, you will not receive any marketing communications from us.

No. A self-exclusion period cannot be cancelled early — this is our strict policy to protect your own interests. If you apply for permanent self-exclusion, your account will not be reopened under any circumstances. For time-limited self-exclusion, you will need to wait until the period expires, then submit a written request to reactivate your account with an additional 7-day waiting period.

Not at all. Tekan88 enforces a strict minimum age policy of 18 years. All new members are required to go through a KYC verification process that requires valid identification documents. Any account found to be owned by an underage individual will be closed immediately and all funds will be returned to the registered bank account holder. We also encourage parents to use parental control software on shared devices.

The most telling signs include: being unable to stop playing even when you want to, lying to family about how much money you have spent, borrowing money to gamble, gaming taking up more of your time and thoughts than it should, or playing to escape emotional problems. If any of these signs apply to your life, we strongly encourage you to reach out to our support team or seek professional help immediately.

Yes, funds in your account are completely safe during the self-exclusion period. You may still submit a withdrawal request for any remaining balance in your account even while it is blocked. Our finance team will process the withdrawal as normal in accordance with standard procedures. To request a withdrawal during the exclusion period, please contact our customer support team via email at [email protected].
