Bet with Responsibility at shell88
Responsible gambling is not just a slogan — it is the foundation of how shell88 operates. We provide tools, guidance and support so you can play with full control.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means you play for entertainment, not to solve financial problems or daily stress. At shell88, we believe every player deserves to enjoy the gaming experience in a safe and controlled environment. For this reason, we provide a range of tools that allow you to set your own limits, take a break or exclude yourself from the platform when needed.
It is important to understand that gambling is an adult entertainment activity that carries the risk of losing money. Never use money intended for basic needs such as rent, bills, food or medical expenses to place bets. If you feel that gambling is starting to have a negative impact on your life, please use the tools we provide or contact the shell88 support team immediately.
This page explains in detail how shell88 fulfils its commitment to responsible gambling — from account management tools to external support resources you can refer to at any time.
shell88 Player Protection Pillars
Six core principles that shape our responsible gambling approach
Strict Age Verification
shell88 only accepts players aged 21 and above. All new accounts go through an identity verification process to ensure this age requirement is fully observed. False information provided during registration may result in account closure and return of the account balance.
Personal Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits through your account settings. These limits take effect immediately and cannot be raised on the spot — there is a waiting period for any limit increase to ensure decisions are made carefully.
Session Time Limits
Use the session time limit feature to control how long you spend in a gaming session. Once the limit is reached, you will be logged out of the session automatically. This helps you avoid playing for too long without realising it.
Temporary Self-Break
If you feel you need a short break, the "self-break" option lets you suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During this period, you cannot log in or make any deposits. 💤
Full Self-Exclusion
For more serious protection, shell88 offers long-term self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year or permanently. Once activated, your account will be fully locked and you will not receive any marketing communications from us.
Dedicated 24/7 Support
The shell88 customer service team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat and email in Malay and English. If you or someone close to you needs help with gambling, do not hesitate to contact us.
Assess Your Playing Habits
Ask yourself these questions from time to time to make sure your gambling stays healthy
Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?
Have you played longer or spent more money than you planned?
Do you feel anxious, restless or irritable when you cannot play?
Do you hide your gambling habits from family or friends?
Do you gamble to escape stress, sadness or daily problems?
Have you ever tried to stop or reduce gambling but were unable to?
⚠️ If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, this may be an early sign of gambling addiction. Take action now — use the shell88 self-exclusion tool or contact our support service immediately. Addressing the problem early is far easier than waiting for it to get worse.
