Our Commitment

How bm96 Supports Safe Play

Six pillars that define bm96's responsible gambling programme.

Strict 21+ Age Enforcement

Mandatory KYC identity and age verification ensures bm96 is accessible to players aged 21 and above only. Identity documents are checked before the first withdrawal is processed. No account is exempt.

Deposit Limits

Set a personal daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in MYR that fits your budget. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Increases to existing limits require a 7-day cooling-off period before taking effect.

Self-Exclusion

Request a voluntary self-exclusion from bm96 for a period of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is locked and all marketing communications are suspended.

Session Time Reminders

Configure session alerts to notify you once you have spent a defined amount of time on the bm96 platform. Taking regular breaks helps maintain perspective and keeps gambling a leisure activity, not a compulsion.

Cooling-Off Periods

Not ready for full self-exclusion but need a short break? Apply a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days to temporarily restrict your bm96 account without permanently closing it.

24/7 Support Access

Our support team is online around the clock, including Malaysian public holidays. Whether you need to set a deposit limit, request self-exclusion, or simply talk through concerns, live chat is available every minute of the day.

Age Requirement

Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions

bm96 operates a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. The minimum age to register an account and use bm96's services is 21 years. This requirement applies universally — to every player, on every occasion, without exception.

We verify the age and identity of every player through our KYC process before approving withdrawal requests. You will be asked to submit a valid Malaysian IC (MyKad), driver's licence, or passport, along with a clear selfie photograph.

If at any point bm96 suspects or determines that a registered user is under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended and all associated funds will be frozen pending investigation. Where underage access is confirmed, the account will be permanently closed and all funds forfeited.

Parents and guardians: If you believe a minor under your care has registered or attempted to register an account on bm96, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We will take immediate action and provide guidance on restricting access.

21+

Age Verification Is Mandatory

Every bm96 player must pass KYC verification before withdrawals are approved.

What you need for KYC verification:

  • Valid Malaysian IC (MyKad), Driver's Licence, or Passport
  • Selfie photograph holding your ID clearly
  • Proof of address (utility bill issued within 3 months)
  • Minimum age confirmed as 21 years or older

Stay in Control

Deposit Limits & Financial Controls

One of the most effective ways to gamble responsibly is to decide in advance exactly how much you are comfortable spending — and to make that commitment visible to yourself. bm96 makes this easy through our deposit limit tools.

All limits are set in Malaysian Ringgit (RM/MYR). You can choose to set a daily limit, weekly limit, or monthly cap. Once a limit is applied, it takes effect immediately. You can lower your limit at any time, instantly. If you request an increase, a mandatory 7-day waiting period applies to give you time to reconsider.

Limits are applied instantly. Need help? Our 24/7 live chat team can assist you through the process.

Daily Deposit Limit

Set a maximum amount you can deposit per 24-hour period. Once reached, you cannot deposit again until the daily reset. Effective for players who prefer day-to-day budgeting.

Weekly Deposit Limit

Cap your total deposits across a rolling 7-day window. Good for players who prefer weekly financial planning and want to avoid end-of-week overspending.

Monthly Deposit Limit

Set a firm monthly ceiling on your total bm96 deposits. Aligned with monthly salary cycles, this is the most popular limit type among Malaysian players who budget on a monthly basis.

You can also request a loss limit — a maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period. Contact our 24/7 live chat support team to set this up. Loss limits take effect immediately upon confirmation.

Taking a Break

Self-Exclusion & Cooling-Off Options

Sometimes the right move is to step away. bm96 makes that easy and immediate.

24-Hour Break

A quick pause. Your account is restricted for 24 hours. Useful after a frustrating session when emotions are running high.

7-Day Cooling-Off

A week away from the platform. During this period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets. A week of perspective can make a real difference.

30–365 Day Exclusion

Choose a fixed self-exclusion period from 30 days up to 12 months. Account access, deposits, and all marketing are fully suspended for the chosen duration.

Permanent Exclusion

A permanent and irreversible closure of your bm96 account. Once confirmed, your account cannot be reopened. Withdrawable balances are returned after a mandatory verification period.

To activate any self-exclusion option, contact our 24/7 live chat support team. Self-exclusion requests are processed immediately — there is no waiting period, no questions asked, and no pressure to reconsider. We will support your decision fully.

Self-Awareness

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Many people don't recognise the signs until they are already significantly affected. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling has moved from leisure to something more serious. If several of these apply to you — even partially — it's worth taking stock and considering whether a break or support is right for you.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended, or more than you can genuinely afford
Chasing losses — placing further bets in an attempt to recover money already lost
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or emotional difficulties
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when not gambling, or when trying to reduce gambling
Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home because of time or money spent on gambling
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking on debt to fund gambling activity
Concealing the extent of your gambling from family members or close friends
Repeatedly making promises to stop gambling — and being unable to follow through

Self-Check

Quick Self-Assessment

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we encourage you to reach out to our support team or one of the support organisations listed on this page.

Q1 Have you ever felt the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Q2 Have you gambled to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?
Q3 After losing money gambling, have you often returned another day to win back your losses?
Q4 Have you ever lied to a family member, friend, or colleague about how often or how much you gamble?
Q5 Have you ever missed work, study, or family commitments because of gambling?
Q6 Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to finance gambling?
Q7 Have you made repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling?

There is no shame in recognising a problem. Taking honest stock of your relationship with gambling is the first step towards managing it. bm96's support team is available 24/7 and will assist you in activating any player protection tools, without judgement.

Play Smart

Tips for Gambling Responsibly

Simple habits that keep gambling enjoyable and under control.

Only Bet What You Can Afford to Lose

Set aside a specific entertainment budget for gambling — just as you would for a cinema trip or a night out in Bangsar. Never use rent money, bill payments, or savings earmarked for essentials.

Set Time Limits

Decide in advance how long you will play. Use bm96's session reminder tools. When your time is up, log out — whether you are up or down. Never extend a session to chase a loss.

Never Chase Losses

Chasing losses is the single most destructive habit in gambling. Accept that losses are part of the game. A losing session does not mean the next one will compensate — odds do not work that way.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen every 30 to 60 minutes. Take a walk, grab a drink, and come back fresh. Extended sessions impair judgement and tend to lead to decisions you wouldn't otherwise make.

Don't Gamble Under the Influence

Alcohol and other substances impair your ability to make clear decisions about risk and money. Never use bm96 or any gambling platform when your judgement is compromised.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Keeping gambling completely private can be a warning sign. Talking to a trusted family member or friend about your gambling — even casually — helps keep perspective and creates a natural accountability.

bm96

bm96's Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling is not a regulatory checkbox for bm96 — it is a genuine operating principle. We invest in the tools, the training, and the processes needed to keep our platform safe, because we know that a platform where players feel protected is one they will trust and return to for the right reasons.

We enforce the 21+ minimum age requirement strictly. We provide deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — and we make these tools easy to find and use. We train our support team to respond sensitively to players who may be experiencing difficulties. And we maintain relationships with external support organisations so that any player who needs help beyond our platform can find it.

Play responsibly. Gambling can be addictive. For players aged 21 and above only.
