Gamble for Entertainment, Not Obligation

Most people who play at garuda138 do so purely for entertainment — a way to unwind, try their luck, or simply enjoy some friendly competition. That is completely valid, and we fully respect that.

However, we also recognise that for a small number of players, gambling can become something more serious if left unchecked. Problem gambling can impact not only the individual, but also their family, friends, and daily life.

Garuda138 takes this responsibility seriously. We are more than just a gaming platform — we are committed to ensuring every member has access to the tools and information needed to play wisely. This is not merely a policy; it is part of our core values as a trusted platform in Malaysia.

Remember: Gambling should only use surplus funds after essential needs are met. If you feel pressured to play or find yourself chasing losses, these are important warning signs that deserve your attention.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight. It usually begins gradually and escalates before a person even notices. Here are the early warning signs to watch for in yourself:

  • Gambling with money that should be used for bills, food, or other essentials
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you have spent on gambling
  • Chasing losses — playing again in an attempt to win back money that has been lost
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when unable to play
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activities
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
  • Constantly thinking about gambling even while doing other activities

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, please contact the garuda138 support team immediately or activate the self-exclusion feature through your account settings.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

You can set a deposit limit through the Account Settings section after logging in. Select "Responsible Gaming" then "Deposit Limit". You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit. Limits take effect immediately. To lower a limit, the change applies straight away. To raise a limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies as an added safeguard.

Temporary self-exclusion lets you block access to your account for a set period (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days). Once the period ends, your account will be automatically reactivated. Permanent self-exclusion is a more serious step — your account will be closed permanently and cannot be reopened except after a rigorous review process and a minimum waiting period of six months.

The self-exclusion tool can only be activated by the account holder themselves, as it involves personal account information. However, if you are concerned about a family member, you can contact the garuda138 support team for guidance on the best way to help them. We can provide general information about the process involved.
