170 Responsible Gaming — A Healthy Play Guide for You
Gaming should be fun and entertaining, not a burden. The 170 platform is committed to ensuring every user enjoys a safe, controlled, and balanced experience. This page provides guides, tools, and practical advice for all Malaysian users.
170's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
170 believes that online entertainment should be a healthy source of fun — not stress or financial hardship. We take a proactive approach to ensuring Malaysian users have access to the information and tools they need to play responsibly.
This responsible gaming policy outlines the protective measures we have in place, guidance on recognising the signs of unhealthy play, and how to seek help if needed. We encourage all users to read through this guide carefully before they start playing.
Remember: playing on 170 should be enjoyable. If it starts to feel like an obligation or causes you stress, it's time to step back and reassess how you're playing.
Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour
One of the first steps in responsible gaming is recognising early signs that your playing habits may be becoming unhealthy. Here are some indicators to watch out for in yourself:
Regularly playing longer than planned, or finding it hard to stop even when you intended to.
Frequently betting amounts that exceed your set budget, or borrowing money solely for the purpose of playing.
Using gaming as the primary way to cope with problems, personal stress, or negative emotions in daily life.
Gaming starts to interfere with work, family, relationships, or other important daily responsibilities.
If you identify one or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to make use of the available self-control tools or reach out for professional support. Recognising a problem early is always the best first step.
Set Time and Budget Limits Before You Play
The most effective way to maintain a healthy gaming experience is to plan ahead. Before starting any session on the 170 platform, consider the following steps:
- Set a fixed budget: Set a fixed amount in MYR (RM) that you're comfortable spending before each session begins. Treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
- Limit your session time: Decide how long you'll play before you start — whether that's 30 minutes, an hour, or another limit that works for you. Stick to that decision.
- Don't chase your losses: If you've hit your budget limit, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to even bigger ones.
- Take regular breaks: Take breaks between gaming sessions. Avoid playing for long stretches without stepping away.
- Don't play when you're emotional: Avoid playing when you're feeling highly stressed, angry, sad, or tired. An unstable emotional state can impair your judgement.
Available Self-Control Tools
The 170 platform provides several self-control tools that you can use at any time through your account settings. These tools are designed to help you stay in control of your gaming experience:
- Deposit Limits: You can set a daily or weekly deposit limit to control how much money goes into your account within a given period. Limits take effect immediately once set.
- Cooling-Off Period: If you feel you need a short break from the platform, you can activate a cooling-off period that temporarily blocks access to your account. This option is available for periods ranging from a few days to a few weeks.
- Self-Exclusion: For those who need a longer break, the self-exclusion option lets you block access to your account for an extended period. To activate this, please contact 170 support at [email protected].
All self-control requests are processed promptly and handled in strict confidence. We encourage you to use these tools without any stigma — it's a sign of wisdom, not weakness.
Minor Protection
170 takes the protection of minors seriously. All users must be 18 or older to register and use the platform. Our registration process is designed to verify this age requirement.
If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend taking the following steps:
- Always log out of your 170 account after every session, especially if the device is shared with children or teenagers.
- Use a strong password and never share your login details with anyone.
- Enable screen lock on your device to prevent unauthorised access.
- Have an open and honest conversation with your children about the risks of gambling as part of their financial education.
If you suspect a minor has accessed this platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can take the appropriate action.
Life Balance & Professional Help
Responsible gaming means maintaining a healthy balance between online entertainment and your everyday life. The 170 platform is not a substitute for social connection, meaningful work, or activities that contribute to your overall well-being.
If you or someone you know is struggling with uncontrolled gaming habits, we strongly encourage seeking professional help. Talking to a specialist can make a real difference. You can also reach 170 support at [email protected] for further guidance on available options, including activating self-control measures or closing your account if needed.
Remember: seeking help is a sign of strength. You don't have to face these challenges alone.
