Extra Bonus's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Six core pillars that shape our approach to ensuring every Malaysian player games in a safe and healthy environment.

Easy-to-Use Self-Limit Tools

Extra Bonus provides deposit limit, loss limit, and session time limit tools that can be activated directly from your account settings in under two minutes — no need to contact support. Limits take effect immediately and are designed to help you stay in control.

Effective Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gaming, the self-exclusion option Extra Bonus can be activated for periods ranging from 24 hours to permanent exclusion. During this time, your account cannot be accessed and you will not receive any marketing communications from us.

Strict Age Verification

Extra Bonus enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years with no exceptions. All new account registrations go through an identity verification process using a valid MyKad or passport. We do not allow underage individuals to use the platform under any circumstances.

Risky Play Pattern Monitoring

Monitoring system Extra Bonus detects gaming patterns that may indicate a problem – such as a sudden increase in deposit amounts, very long gaming sessions, or repeatedly re-wagering winnings. When such patterns are detected, our team will proactively reach out to the player.

Player Education & Awareness

Extra Bonus actively educates players on how casino games actually work – including RTP (Return to Player), real probabilities, and the fact that no system or strategy can guarantee winnings in the long run. Knowledge is your best protection.

Sensitive Bahasa Malaysia-Language Support

Support team Extra Bonus specifically trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with sensitivity and without judgement. You can speak in Bahasa Malaysia via live chat 24/7 – no question is too difficult to ask.

Extra Bonus Self-Control Tools – How to Use Them

All these tools are available for free within your account settings. No support needed – activate them yourself at any time.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, any further deposit attempts will be automatically blocked until the limit resets in the next period.

  • Log in to your Extra Bonus account
  • Go to Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Deposit Limit" and set the amount (e.g. RM 200 per day)
  • Click Save — limit takes effect immediately
Loss Limit

Set a maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a given period. Once the loss limit is reached, you will not be able to place new bets until the limit period resets — protecting you from chasing losses in an emotional state.

  • Log in to your Extra Bonus account
  • Go to Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Loss Limit" and set the period and value
  • Confirm — limit activates immediately
Playing Time Limit

Limit the amount of time you can spend on the platform Extra Bonus each day. Once the time limit is reached, your session will end automatically and you will not be able to log back in until the following day.

  • Log in to your Extra Bonus account
  • Go to Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Time Limit" and set a daily duration (e.g. 2 hours)
  • Save – the limit takes effect from the next session
Temporary Self-Exclusion

Need a short break? Activate the self-exclusion option to suspend access to your account for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. No reason is required. During this period, your account is fully frozen and no marketing communications will be sent.

  • Log in to your Extra Bonus account
  • Go to Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Self-Exclusion" and choose the duration you want
  • Confirm – the break takes effect immediately
Long-Term Self-Exclusion

For more serious exclusions, this option closes your account for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. The exclusion cannot be reversed within the chosen period – this is to protect you fully. Any valid remaining funds will be returned.

  • Log in to your Extra Bonus account
  • Go to Settings > Responsible Gaming
  • Select "Self-Exclusion" and choose a duration
  • Confirm your decision – takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed
Activity History Review

View all your gaming activity and transactions over any period you choose, directly from your account. This helps you assess your playing habits based on real data – not memory, which can be unreliable. Understanding your own patterns is the first step toward staying in control.

  • Log in to your Extra Bonus account
  • Go to Transaction History or Game History
  • Select the period and filter as needed
  • Download your report in PDF format if needed

Important Note: Once a self-limit is set, it can only be increased after a 48-hour waiting period – this is to prevent impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. Limits that are reduced take effect immediately. This approach is specifically designed for your protection.

What Is Responsible Gaming & Why It Matters

Responsible gaming is an approach to online casino entertainment that prioritises safety, self-awareness, and personal control. For Extra Bonus, it's not just a policy written on paper – it's how we operate every day, in every product decision, and in every interaction with our Malaysian players.

Online casinos, including slots, table games, Live Casino, and Sports Betting such as the Malaysian Super League or EPL, are a legitimate form of entertainment that most adults can enjoy responsibly. However, for a small number of players, gaming can shift from entertainment to a problem — and when that happens, it is important that accessible, judgement-free support is available.

Extra Bonus understands that our responsibility does not end the moment a player registers. Our responsibility continues throughout the entire duration of their membership – ensuring they play because it's enjoyable, not because they don't know how to stop.

Healthy Gaming Principles We Encourage

  • Set a fixed entertainment budget and never exceed it — treat money allocated for the casino the way you would a cinema ticket or a dinner out: once it's spent, it's spent.
  • Never play with money set aside for living expenses – rent, utility bills, food, or borrowed funds should never be used to fund your gaming.
  • Play only when you are in a stable emotional state. Avoid playing when you feel stressed, frustrated, intoxicated, or are facing serious financial difficulties.
  • Set realistic time limits and stick to them. Long gaming sessions impair your judgment and can lead to poor betting decisions.
  • Understand that online casinos are designed so that the house (the platform) holds a mathematical edge in the long run – this isn't a conspiracy, it's simply mathematics. Short-term wins are possible, but no system can beat the math over the long run.
  • Never chase your losses. This is one of the most common and dangerous patterns – deciding to keep playing in hopes of winning back what you've lost often leads to even greater losses.
  • Make sure gaming doesn't interfere with your core responsibilities – family, work, and your health should always come first.

Healthy Play Budget Guide

Monthly Income Level Casino Entertainment Limit (max. 5%)
RM 2,000 – RM 3,000 RM 100 – RM 150 / month
RM 3,001 – RM 5,000 RM 150 – RM 250 / month
RM 5,001 – RM 8,000 RM 250 – RM 400 / month
RM 8,001 – RM 12,000 RM 400 – RM 600 / month
Over RM 12,000 Maximum 5% of net income
This Is a General Guide Only

The table above is a guide based on general financial management principles. The actual limits that work for you depend on your personal financial situation, including loan commitments, family dependents, and savings goals. Use limits that you comfortable losses only — not money you hope to win back.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognise the early signs before things escalate. Any one of these signs on its own does not necessarily indicate a problem — but if several are present at the same time, it may be worth talking to someone.

You frequently play beyond the budget you've set for yourself and feel embarrassed or guilty afterwards.

You frequently "chase losses" – continuing to play with more money after a loss in the hope of turning things around.

You've started hiding your gaming activity from family members or close friends, or lying about how much you've wagered.

You feel uncomfortable, restless, or irritable when you're not playing, or you use gaming as your primary way of coping with stress and life's problems.

You've borrowed money, sold belongings, or used funds meant for monthly bills, rent, or family needs to fund your gaming.

You find yourself spending more time playing than you planned, and it's hard to stop even when you want to.

Gaming begins to affect your work performance, family relationships, physical health, or your ability to meet daily responsibilities.

Check Yourself – A Quick Self-Assessment

Answer the following questions honestly to get a clear picture of your current gaming habits. All responses are private and not recorded.

You appear to be gaming in a healthy way. Keep setting limits and monitoring yourself regularly. Remember – circumstances change, so revisit your limits every few months.

Several warning signs detected. This is a good time to use Extra Bonus's self-limit tools and perhaps talk to someone you trust. You don't have to face this alone. Reach out to our support team or consider contacting a relevant helpline.

How to Get Help — Step by Step

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness – it's a sign of strength and self-awareness. Here's the best way to take action if you or someone you care about needs support.

1
Acknowledge the Problem

The most important first step is acknowledging that gaming has started to become a problem, not just a form of entertainment. This takes a great deal of honest self-reflection.

2
Activate Self-Exclusion

Immediately activate self-exclusion from your account settings Extra Bonus you. This blocks access to the platform and creates space for recovery.

3
Find Support

Talk to a trusted family member or friend, or reach out to a professional counsellor. You don't have to face this alone.

4
Manage Finances

Speak with a financial adviser or credit institution to restructure your finances if needed. Financial difficulties can be resolved with the right plan in place.

For Family & Friends of Players

If you're concerned about someone close to you – a spouse, child, sibling, or friend – here are some guidelines on how to help without making the situation worse.

  • Have the conversation openly in a calm setting — not in the heat of anger or right after a financial incident.
  • Listen with empathy before passing judgement – understanding the underlying source of stress is key.
  • Avoid paying off debts that arose from gambling — doing so may reinforce the behaviour.
  • Seek support for yourself too – caring for someone with this problem can take a serious emotional toll.
  • Encourage them to activate self-control tools or self-exclusion on their gaming platform.

Extra Bonus's Commitment – More Than Just Words

When Extra Bonus when we say we are committed to responsible gaming, that is not a marketing slogan. This commitment is reflected in the real business decisions we make every day — decisions that sometimes mean we forgo short-term revenue for the long-term wellbeing of our players.

For example, the monitoring system Extra Bonus actively identifies players showing risky play patterns — rather than letting them continue playing, our team proactively reaches out to offer support. This means we sometimes actively reduce a player's gaming activity.

Advertising and notification system Extra Bonus is also designed with responsible gaming in mind. Players who have activated deposit limits or are in a self-exclusion period will not receive any marketing communications about promotions or bonuses – no emails, no push notifications. When someone tells us they need a break, we respect that decision fully.

For payouts, Extra Bonus does not accept deposits via credit borrowing methods. Deposits may only be made through payment methods that reflect money you already own — Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, ShopeePay, Boost, Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, or FPX. This is a deliberate decision to prevent players from going into debt to play.

Every staff member Extra Bonus – from software developers to customer support agents – undergo responsible gaming training and learn how to identify and respond to warning signs. Player safety is a shared responsibility across our entire organisation, not just one department.

Key Facts About Online Casino Gaming

Understanding how online casinos actually work is a player's best protection. Extra Bonus believes in full transparency on this.

  • RTP (Return to Player) means that over the long term, across millions of spins, a slot with 97% RTP will return RM 97 for every RM 100 wagered in aggregate. This does not mean you personally will get 97% back within a single session.
  • Every slots spin is independent from previous spins. If a machine has not "paid out" in 100 consecutive spins, the odds on the next spin are exactly the same as they were on the very first. There is no "turn" to win.
  • Martingale systems and progressive betting strategies do not change the casino's mathematical edge. They only alter betting patterns – and can lead to greater losses over a shorter period of time.
  • Bonuses and promotions is designed to enhance your gaming experience, but wagering requirements mean the actual value of a bonus is lower than its nominal figure. Always read the terms carefully.
  • Big win (jackpot) is an extremely rare statistical event. The likelihood of winning a multi-million MYR progressive jackpot is very small — it is entertainment, not a financial plan.
Important Reminders from Extra Bonus

If you're playing for fun and within your means, online casinos can be an enjoyable form of entertainment. If you're playing in hopes of solving financial problems, or with money you can't afford to lose, please stop and seek help. There is no shame in asking for support.

Important Notice — Extra Bonus is for Entertainment Purposes Only

FAQs – Extra Bonus Responsible Gaming

The most frequently asked questions from players regarding self-control tools and Extra Bonus's responsible gaming policy.

Log in to your Extra Bonus account, go to Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming section. Here you'll find the Deposit Limit option, where you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit based on your needs. Enter an amount you're comfortable with – for example, RM 100 per day – and click Save. The limit takes effect immediately. Important: if you wish to increase your limit, a 48-hour waiting period applies as an added safeguard. However, if you want to lower your limit, it takes effect immediately with no waiting period.

No. This is a deliberate policy and cannot be compromised. Once you activate self-exclusion on Extra Bonus, it cannot be reversed or shortened within the period you selected – whether that's 6 months, 1 year, or a permanent exclusion. This is to fully protect you from any impulsive decision to return before you're truly ready. If you'd like to discuss your situation or have questions about the process, contact the Extra Bonus support team via live chat – they're ready to listen without judgment.

Any real funds in your account – unused deposited money and legitimate cash winnings – will be returned to you via the original payment method you used, whether that's Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, or another linked method. This refund process will be completed within 10 business days. Bonus balances that have not met wagering requirements will not be returned. If you have any questions about this process, please contact the Extra Bonus support team before activating your exclusion.

Not at all. This is a commitment we take very seriously. When you activate any break option – whether a temporary self-break, a playing time limit, or full self-exclusion – Extra Bonus will immediately stop all marketing communications to you. This includes promotional emails, in-platform push notifications, and any other communications related to offers or bonuses. You will only receive essential account-related communications such as withdrawal confirmations. If you receive any marketing communications while on a break, please report it to us immediately.
