Our Commitment

Safe Play Starts with the Right Mindset

For most people, playing at an online casino is an enjoyable source of entertainment — much like watching a movie or dining out with friends. However, we at ladbrokes understand that for a small number of players, gaming can become something more than just entertainment. That is why our Responsible Gaming program exists.

This is not just terms and conditions on paper — it is our genuine commitment to players in Malaysia. We want everyone who plays on the ladbrokes platform to do so by their own choice, within a budget they can afford, and with genuine enjoyment. When gaming starts to feel like stress or an obligation, that is the time to pause and seek support.

This policy is not merely a licensing requirement. It reflects the core values of ladbrokes — that good business means taking care of good players. You can enjoy all the casino games, fish shooting, bingo, and slots we offer with confidence, as long as you play within the limits you set for yourself.

Our Core Principles: ladbrokes only welcomes players aged 18 and above. We use strict age verification and KYC checks to ensure our platform remains free from underage access.

Healthy Play Principles

1

Set Limits Before You Play

Set your budget before opening an account. Think of it as an entertainment cost, not an investment.

2

Play for Fun

Don't play to chase losses. Every round is independent of the previous one.

3

Take Regular Breaks

Set time reminders in your account. Taking a break every 30–60 minutes is a healthy habit.

4

Don't Play When Stressed

Avoid playing as a way to escape everyday problems or emotional stress.

5

Balance with Other Activities

Casino games are just a small part of life — don't let them overshadow everything else.

Platform Features

Self-Control Tools We Provide

All these tools are available directly within your account — easy to access, easy to use and effective immediately.

💰

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set your own deposit limits for the time period that suits you. Limits take effect immediately once set. To increase a limit, a 7-day waiting period is required to ensure the decision is made carefully.

⏱️

Session Time Limit

Set the maximum duration for your playing sessions. Once the time limit is reached, the system will alert you and automatically end the session — keeping you always aware of how long you've been playing.

🔔

Play Time Reminder

Enable notifications that alert you every 30 minutes throughout your gaming session. These reminders help you stay aware of how much time has passed and make smarter decisions while playing.

😴

Self-Timeout

Need a break? Use the Self-Timeout feature to temporarily suspend access to your account — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. This option is ideal for players who want to take a break without permanently closing their account.

🚫

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is beginning to negatively affect your life, self-exclusion is the right option. Your account will be fully blocked for a minimum of 6 months, with extension options of up to 5 years.

Warning Signs

Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight — it develops gradually. Recognising the early signs is the first step to getting help. Watch out if you experience any of the following:

Increasing the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement as before.

Playing to "chase" losses that have already occurred, hoping to recover them.

Lying to family members or friends about the amount of money spent on gambling.

Using money meant for bills, food or other necessities to gamble.

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to stop or cut back on playing.

Neglecting work, family or social responsibilities due to excessive focus on betting activities.

Frequently thinking about how to obtain more money for the purpose of gambling again.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, please contact our support team or use the Self-Exclusion feature in your account immediately.

About ladbrokes Responsible Gaming Programme

At ladbrokes, we believe that a responsible online casino is one that not only delivers quality games, but also safeguards the well-being of its players. Our Responsible Gaming program is designed not as a formality, but as a support system that genuinely works.

Every year, we retrain our customer support team to identify and assist players who may be experiencing difficulties. We also use technology to detect concerning gameplay patterns — such as sudden deposit spikes, excessively long play sessions or inconsistent betting — and proactively reach out to those players.

We also ensure that ladbrokes advertisements and promotions are never directed at vulnerable individuals or minors. All our marketing campaigns go through an internal ethics review before being published.

Minor Protection Policy

Ladbrokes takes the protection of minors seriously. Here are the measures we have in place:

Mandatory age verification upon registration
KYC document review for new accounts
Active monitoring for accounts with suspicious behaviour
Immediate suspension if a player's age is in doubt
A parent's guide to parental control software

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Responsible Gaming

No. Self-exclusion is a binding commitment and cannot be cancelled before your chosen period ends. This is a policy we enforce to protect you. After the period expires, there is an additional waiting period before your account can be reactivated, and you will need to contact our support team to initiate the reactivation process.

Yes. Deposit limit decreases take effect immediately once you save the changes in your account settings. This differs from requests to increase limits — which require a 7-day waiting period before the change takes effect, ensuring your decision is made with full consideration.

All remaining funds in your account — including any pending withdrawals of winnings — will be processed for withdrawal to your original payment method. This process takes 3–5 business days. You will not lose any funds that are legitimately yours during the self-exclusion process.

The deposit limit you set applies across all games on the ladbrokes platform — including casino, fish shooting, bingo, and slots. This ensures more comprehensive control over your playing habits. However, session time limits can be adjusted on a per-session basis.

Our system continuously monitors gameplay patterns. Warning signs we look out for include sudden deposit increases, very long play sessions, inconsistent betting and repeated login attempts after a loss. When a concerning pattern is detected, our team will proactively contact the player via in-account messages or email.

Yes, all self-control tools — including deposit limits, session time limits, time reminders, self-breaks, and self-exclusion — are completely free for all registered Ladbrokes members. There are no fees or hidden charges for using these protective features. We believe access to protection tools is a fundamental right of every player.
