Our Commitment to Healthy Gaming

9th believes that online entertainment should bring joy, not stress. That is why we have built an environment that encourages users to play mindfully and in control — not just to win, but to enjoy the overall experience.

We recognise that a small number of users may find it challenging to manage their gaming habits. For this reason, 9th provides information, self-control tools, and easy-to-understand guidance to help all users stay within a safe zone.

Responsible gaming is not solely the user's responsibility — it is ours as a platform too. We are committed to ensuring that every feature within 9th supports healthy gaming habits, not the opposite.

Signs of At-Risk Behaviour

Recognise these warning signs before they become a bigger problem

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play solely to recover money you have already lost is a serious warning sign. Each gaming session should be treated independently — never as a way to make up for previous losses.

Unable to Stop

If you find it difficult to stop playing even when you had planned to, or your playing time consistently runs well beyond what you intended, this is a signal that you need to take steps to manage your habits.

Neglecting Responsibilities

When gaming starts to affect your work, family relationships, personal finances, or sleep, these are warning signs that need to be addressed promptly before the situation worsens.

Borrowing to Play

Using borrowed money, credit cards, or emergency savings for betting is an extremely risky practice and should be avoided entirely.

Feeling Anxious or Distressed

Feeling uncomfortable, anxious, or low when you're not playing is a sign that gambling has gone beyond mere entertainment and needs immediate attention.

Hiding Gaming Habits

If you feel the need to hide your betting activity from family or friends, it is a sign that you yourself recognise something is not right with your playing habits.

Tips for Setting Time & Budget Limits

One of the most effective ways to play responsibly is to set clear limits before you start any session. Here are some practical guidelines we recommend to all 9th users:

  • Daily/Weekly Budget Limit: Decide upfront how much MYR (RM) you are willing to lose in a single session or over a set period. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
  • Time Limit: Set a timer or alarm on your phone before you start playing. When it goes off, end your session — no exceptions, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
  • Don't Play When You're Stressed: Avoid playing when you are feeling sad, stressed, or overly excited. An unstable emotional state can cloud your judgment.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Take a short break after each long session. Step away from the platform for a few hours or days if needed to refresh your perspective.

Self-Control Features on the 9th Platform

Tools you can use to manage your own gaming experience

Deposit Limit

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits through your account settings. Once a limit is in place, the 9th system will automatically block any deposit that exceeds the amount you have set.

Break Period

If you feel you need a break from the platform, you can request a temporary cooling-off period. During this time, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in. This helps you regain perspective without having to permanently close your account.

Self-Exclusion

For those who feel they need to stop playing for an extended period, a self-exclusion option is available. Contact the 9th support team to discuss this option. All self-exclusion requests are handled seriously and promptly by our team.

To activate any of the self-control features above, log in to your account and navigate to the account settings section, or contact the 9th support team directly via email at [email protected]. Our team will assist you promptly.

Minor Protection

The 9th platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We take seriously our responsibility to ensure that minors do not access or use our services.

During registration, every user is required to confirm that they meet this minimum age requirement. 9th reserves the right to request identity verification documents at any time to ensure compliance with this age requirement.

To parents and guardians — if you are concerned that your child or dependent may be accessing online platforms, we recommend installing parental control software on their devices. Please also ensure your account login details are kept secure and never shared.

If you suspect a minor is using the 9th platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected].

Life Balance & Professional Support Resources

Gaming should be a small part of life, not the whole of it

Maintaining a Healthy Life Balance

Online Sports Betting and casino games should be just one form of entertainment in a balanced life. Like watching a film or attending a sporting event, it should be enjoyed in moderation and never take priority over other important aspects of your life.

Make sure you always set aside quality time with family and friends. Stay productive at work or in your studies. Look after your physical and mental health through exercise, good nutrition, and adequate sleep.

If you find that playing on the 9th platform is starting to affect any important area of your life, take action immediately. There is no shame in admitting you need help — it is a brave and wise step to take.

Seeking Professional Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available in Malaysia. We encourage you to reach out to a counselling professional or a relevant organisation that can provide accurate and confidential support.

The 9th support team can also point you towards appropriate resources. Do not hesitate to reach out via email at [email protected] if you need any assistance or further information on responsible gaming.
