The Newsky88 Pledge: Entertainment, Not a Burden

Newsky88 is more than just a betting platform — we are accountable for the wellbeing of every player who trusts us. Our commitment to responsible gambling is not merely a regulatory obligation; it is a core value that guides every platform decision we make.

We understand that for some people, gambling can lead to serious problems. That's why newsky88 invests in player protection tools, awareness programmes, and active support — so that if you or someone you know needs help, it's easy to reach.


What Is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gambling means you stay in control of your betting activity — not the other way around. It's about setting realistic limits, understanding the risks, and enjoying your time at newsky88 as entertainment, not as a source of income or an escape from problems.

In Malaysia, Super League and EPL football, slots, baccarat, blackjack, e-sports — these are all forms of entertainment that can be enjoyed healthily with the right mindset. Problems arise when someone starts playing beyond their means, chasing losses, or neglecting daily responsibilities for the sake of betting.

Newsky88 wants you to stay on the safe, enjoyable side of the experience. We provide all the tools you need to make sure you're always in control.

Always remember: Betting is entertainment, not a source of income. Never bet with money you can't afford to lose, and never chase your losses.

Safe Play Principles at newsky88

1
Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much RM you're comfortable spending on entertainment before you open the app. Think of it like a movie ticket or a dinner out — money set aside for enjoyment, not to be won back.

2
Set a Playing Time Limit

Decide how long each gaming session will last. Use the time limit feature in your newsky88 account or set reminders on your phone. Don't let your play time eat into your sleep or family time.

3
Accept Losses Gracefully

In betting, winning and losing are both part of the game. If you lose, treat it as the cost of entertainment. Never chase your losses with bigger bets.

4
Don't Play When You're Stressed

Betting when you're emotionally off-balance — whether from work stress, financial pressure, or personal conflict — leads to poor decisions. Take a break and come back when you're in a clearer headspace.

5
Balance It With Other Activities

Keep betting as just a small part of your leisure time. Maintain other hobbies, spend time with family, and don't let newsky88 become your only form of entertainment.


Newsky88 Responsible Gaming Tools

All these tools are available for free in your account — use them whenever you need

Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit (in RM) based on what you can afford. Once a limit is set, the newsky88 system will not allow deposits beyond that amount even if you request it manually. Limit reductions take effect immediately, while increases take 7 days to come into force.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum amount you're willing to lose within a given period. When your loss limit is reached, the newsky88 platform will temporarily suspend your ability to place new bets for the specified period, giving you space to reconsider.

Session Time Limit

Control how long you can play in a single session or per day. When the time limit is reached, newsky88 will send a reminder notification and can optionally log you out automatically if you've set it up that way.

Playing Pause (Cooling-Off)

Need a short break? Activate a Playing Pause for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you won't be able to log in or place any bets. Your account balance stays safe and will be accessible again once the pause period ends.

Self-Exclusion

For more serious cases, you may request a full self-exclusion from the newsky88 platform for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. This request cannot be reversed during the selected period. Please contact our support team to initiate the process.

Activity History Review

Review your full history of betting activity, RM deposits, and withdrawals. A clear picture of your playing habits is the first step to keeping them within healthy, responsible boundaries.

How to Activate the Self-Control Tools: Log in to your newsky88 account → go to "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gambling" → select the tool you want to activate. If you run into any issues, reach out to our customer support via live chat — we'll help you get the right tool set up in just a few minutes.


Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Awareness is the first step — for yourself or for someone you care about

  • Borrowing money from family or friends, or using credit cards solely to fund betting
  • Feeling the need to hide how much you've spent on betting
  • Skipping important bills (rent, car, utilities) because the money has gone to betting
  • Making repeated RM deposits in a short period beyond your financial means
  • Selling personal belongings to fund gambling

  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to play
  • Thinking about gambling almost constantly — at work, during meals, or while with family
  • Using gambling as an escape from problems, stress, or emotional pain
  • Feeling guilty after playing but unable to stop
  • Repeatedly tried to cut down or stop betting but couldn't
  • Chasing losses — placing bigger bets to try to recover money already lost

  • Neglecting work, family, or study responsibilities due to time spent betting
  • Lying to your partner, parents, or friends about your betting activity
  • Withdrawing from friends and social activities in favour of betting
  • Relationships with loved ones strained due to betting-related issues
  • Feeling like betting is the only thing that brings you enjoyment

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself or someone you know, the first step is to acknowledge that help may be needed. This is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of strength and courage.
