Our Philosophy

Entertainment Should Be Fun, Not a Burden

At city88, we believe that responsible gaming is more than just a slogan — it is a genuine commitment embedded in every aspect of our platform. From interface design and self-control tools to the training of our support team, everything is oriented towards keeping your gaming experience enjoyable and in control.

We understand that for the majority of Malaysian members, playing slots, live casino, betting on the Malaysia Super League or EPL, roulette, and table games at city88 is a casual entertainment activity — much like going to the cinema or bowling. Our goal is to keep it that way for everyone.

We are also aware that a small number of people may find it difficult to keep their gaming habits in check. That is why we provide a range of support tools that are easily accessible, stigma-free, and completely free for all members. city88.

💡 Core Principles: Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Always set your limits before you play, and stick to them regardless of how the game goes.

Why City88 Is Different

City88's Real Commitment to Member Safety

Strict Age Verification

City88 conducts age verification during registration and may request additional supporting documents. No exceptions — our platform is strictly for individuals aged 21 and above.

Automated Early Detection System

The city88 platform uses an analytics system that automatically detects high-risk gaming patterns and will proactively reach out to the relevant members with support information.

Bahasa Melayu Support

City88's specially trained support team is available 24/7 in Bahasa Malaysia — no language barriers when you need help or guidance on responsible gaming.

No Marketing to Vulnerable Players

City88 does not send any promotional communications to members who are in a cool-off period, under self-exclusion, or who have activated their play limits.

Transparent Game History

All city88 members can review their full betting, deposit, and withdrawal history at any time through the account dashboard — to support better personal monitoring.

Dedicated Staff Training

The entire city88 support team undergoes comprehensive responsible gaming training — so they can identify, respond to, and assist members who may need support.

Practical Tips

10 Healthy Play Tips at City88

This guide is not meant to discourage you from playing — it is to ensure your experience at city88 stays enjoyable for the long term.

1
Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on an amount you are comfortable "spending" on entertainment before you start playing — and stick to it no matter what.

2
Never Use Essential Funds

Money allocated for bills, food, petrol, car payments, or emergency savings should never be used for gambling.

3
Play for Fun, Not for Profit

Treat betting as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Winnings are a bonus, not a guarantee.

4
Take Regular Breaks

Get up, take a break, drink some water. Playing for too long impairs your judgment and can lead to poor decisions.

5
Never Play When You're Emotional

Playing while feeling sad, angry, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol increases the risk of making irrational decisions.

6
Don't Borrow Money to Gamble

Borrowing money — from any source — to fund gambling is a major warning sign that needs to be addressed immediately.

7
Accept Losses Calmly

Losses are part of the game. Never chase your losses — it almost always leads to even bigger ones.

8
Balance with Other Activities

Make sure gaming is only a small part of your life. Set aside time for family, sports, hobbies, and other social activities.

9
Use the Available Limit Tools

Make use of the deposit limit, loss limit, and session limit tools that city88 provides — they are there for a good reason.

10
Get Help When You Need It

There's no shame in asking for help. Reach out to city88 support or someone you trust if you feel your play is starting to become a problem.

Check Yourself

Check Yourself – Are You Gaming Responsibly?

Answer the following questions honestly. This is not a test — it is simply a personal reflection to help you assess your own gaming habits.

Q1

Do you always know how much you have deposited in the past week without having to check?

Q2

Are you able to stop playing whenever you want, without feeling pressured to continue?

Q3

Is the money you use to play at city88 money you can comfortably afford to lose without affecting your daily life?

Q4

Does your gaming activity leave you with enough time for family and friends?

Q5

Do you play purely for fun and entertainment, rather than as a way to solve financial problems?

Q6

Can you take a break from playing for a week without feeling restless, unsettled, or constantly thinking about the game?

⚠️ If you answered "No" to any of the questions above, we encourage you to use city88's self-control tools or speak with our support team. No judgement, no stigma — we're here to help.

Child Protection

Our Shared Responsibility – Keep Children Away from Gambling

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
If You Are a Parent

If you use the city88 platform and live with children or teenagers, take the following steps to ensure they cannot access your account:

  • Never share your city88 account password with anyone.
  • Log out of your account after every session, especially on shared devices.
  • Use a strong, unique password for your city88 account.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for an extra layer of security.
  • Consider using parental control software on shared devices.
🏫
Education on Gambling Risks

Having open conversations with children and teenagers about the risks of gambling is one of the most effective protective measures you can take:

  • Explain that the odds in gambling always favour losses over the long run.
  • Make it clear that gambling advertisements and promotions are designed to attract interest, not to guarantee winnings.
  • Share real stories about the negative impact of gambling addiction on individuals and families.
  • Encourage healthy and productive alternative leisure activities.

⚠️ Immediate Action: If you suspect that someone under the age of 21 has registered or is using an account on city88, please contact us immediately at support@city88.im. City88 will close the account right away and return all funds.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions on Responsible Gaming

You can set a deposit limit by logging in to your city88 account, going to Account Settings, and selecting "Responsible Gaming". From there, choose "Deposit Limit" and set the maximum amount for daily, weekly, or monthly periods. Changes that reduce your limit take effect immediately, while increases require a 72-hour waiting period as an added safety measure.

Self-exclusion at city88 is available for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years. Once activated, it cannot be cancelled or shortened before the chosen period ends — this is by design to ensure the tool is truly effective. After the period expires, you will need to actively contact city88 support to reactivate your account; there is no automatic reactivation.

During the cool-off period, your balance remains safe in your city88 account and can be withdrawn to your Malaysian bank account or digital wallet (Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, etc.) even while betting activity is restricted. For self-exclusion, all eligible balances (meeting rollover requirements) will be returned to you via your original payment method within 5 working days after verification.

If a risky pattern is detected, our support team may proactively reach out with information about available self-control tools. This is done with full respect and is not a judgement of you.

Yes. All games on city88 have set minimum and maximum betting limits. The overall minimum deposit is RM20, while deposits via FPX (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks) require a minimum of RM30.
