Introduction

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a healthy, controlled approach to enjoying online entertainment. It means every player knows their own limits, plays for fun rather than to escape life's pressures, and maintains full control over the time and money they spend.

At astonbet, we understand that gambling can be an incredibly enjoyable experience when done the right way. The Live Casino, Slots, Sports Betting, and Bingo we offer are all designed to deliver a high-quality entertainment experience. However, we also recognize that without proper control, these activities can become problematic for some players.

That is why we developed a comprehensive responsible gaming framework — not merely to meet compliance requirements, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every player in the astonbet community. This policy is not just a document; it is our commitment to you.

Remember: Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income or a way to resolve financial problems. Set your budget before playing and stick to that limit with discipline.

Astonbet provides a range of practical tools you can activate directly through your account settings. From daily deposit limits to temporary or permanent time-out options — all controls are in your hands and can be enabled at any time at no charge.

Our Core Principles
  • Play for fun, not to chase losses or try to change your financial situation
  • Set time and money limits before starting your gaming session
  • Never play using money you need for your basic necessities
  • Take regular breaks and do not let gaming interfere with your daily life
  • Do not play when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol
  • Accept that game outcomes are determined by random chance and not skill alone
  • Get immediate help if you or a loved one shows signs of a gambling problem
Control Tools

Astonbet Self-Control Tools

We provide a range of self-control tools you can activate yourself through your account settings. All tools are free and available to use at any time.

01
Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits
Set the maximum amount of money you can deposit into your account within a specified period. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately and can only be decreased right away — increasing the limit requires a 24-hour waiting period.
02
Loss Limit
Set a maximum limit on the amount you can lose within a given period. Once the loss limit is reached, your account will be automatically blocked from placing any new wagers until the limit period expires.
03
Play Time Limit
Control how long you can play in a single session or in a day. Our system will send alerts when your time limit is almost reached and will automatically log out your account once the limit is hit.
04
Temporary Time-Out
Choose to take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers, but your account balance remains safe.
05
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, the self-exclusion option allows you to block your account for 6 months to 5 years. This option cannot be reversed before the period ends — it is a serious commitment to your recovery.
06
Reality Check & Time Reminders
Enable periodic reminders that notify you how long you have been playing in the current session. This feature helps you stay aware of the time spent on the platform and make more informed decisions.
To access all these self-control tools, log in to your AstonBet account and go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. Our support team can also help you activate any of these tools via 24/7 live chat.
Key Features

Astonbet's Commitment to Players

More than just control tools, we build a healthy gaming culture from the very foundation of our platform.

Strict Age Verification
Every player must complete a thorough KYC verification process before making any deposit or wager. Identity documents are reviewed to ensure only individuals aged 18 and above are permitted to play on the astonbet platform.
Risk Pattern Detection
Our smart analytics system continuously monitors gameplay patterns to identify early signs of problem gambling. When a risk pattern is detected, our team proactively reaches out to the player to offer support.
Emotional Support & Counselling
Our trained support team is ready to listen and assist you without any judgement. We can connect you with professional counsellors and problem gambling support organisations operating in Malaysia.
Comprehensive Account Protection
All self-control tools you activate are fully encrypted and protected. No one — including astonbet staff — can cancel limits or a self-exclusion without your consent and without going through a strict verification process.
Education & Awareness
We provide comprehensive educational resources on how to play safely, understand game odds, identify warning signs of gambling problems, and steps to get help.
Support for Family
We also care about the families of our players. If you are concerned about a family member who may be experiencing gambling problems, contact our team and we will help you understand the options available.
Warning Signs

Recognize the Signs of a Gambling Problem

Problem gambling rarely appears overnight. It develops gradually and can sometimes be difficult to recognise on your own. Here are the warning signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:

  • !
    Feeling the need to hide your gambling activity from family or friends
  • !
    Continuing to play even when you know it is affecting your finances, relationships, or work
  • !
    Chasing losses by trying to win back money already lost
  • !
    Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gambling
  • !
    Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when unable to gamble
  • !
    Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
  • !
    Repeatedly failing in attempts to stop or reduce gambling activity
If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to contact the astonbet support team or seek professional help immediately. There is no shame in asking for help — it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Self-Assessment

Test Your Playing Habits

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more of these questions, consider seeking support:

S1
Have you ever felt the need to bet with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
S2
Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
S3
Has gambling ever caused serious problems in your relationships, career, or financial situation?
S4
Have you ever chased your losses by continuing to play after losing, hoping to win back the money?
S5
Have you ever felt stressed, guilty, or ashamed after a gambling session?
S6
Do you use gambling as a way to escape problems or negative feelings in your life?
This assessment is not a medical diagnosis. For a more comprehensive evaluation, contact our support team or seek advice from a qualified mental health professional.

FAQ

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Deposit limits can be reduced at any time and take effect immediately. However, to increase or cancel a deposit limit, a 24-hour waiting period is required as an additional safeguard. This ensures decisions are made thoughtfully and not on impulse.

A time-out is a short-term option (24 hours to 1 month) that lets you take a temporary break from the platform. Once the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Self-exclusion, on the other hand, is a long-term commitment (6 months to 5 years) that cannot be reversed before the period expires. It is designed for players who need a more serious and structured break.

Yes, your account balance remains completely safe during the self-exclusion period. Your funds will not be lost or frozen. You may contact our support team to withdraw your balance during the self-exclusion period, subject to our standard verification process.

No. During an active self-exclusion period, our system will block any attempt to register a new account using the same personal information. If you manage to bypass this block and register a new account, please notify our team immediately and we will close that account.

Contact our support team immediately via 24/7 live chat. We will freeze your account right away while conducting an investigation. Make sure you enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your account to prevent unauthorized access in the future.

In Malaysia, you can get support through Talian Kasih 15999 (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development), which operates 24 hours a day. Government hospitals also provide free psychiatric and counselling services. The astonbet support team can also help refer you to suitable support resources based on your needs.

Time Management
  • Set a clear time limit before starting your session — and stick to it even when you are winning
  • Take at least a 10-minute break for every hour of play to stay focused
