What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means making conscious, informed decisions every time you play at BonusBear or any online gambling platform. It does not mean you cannot enjoy gaming — rather, it is about ensuring this form of entertainment remains fun and never interferes with your daily life, finances, or relationships with those you love.

In Malaysia, online gambling is a form of entertainment enjoyed by many — from those who like to unwind with slots on weekends, to football fans looking to add excitement to the Malaysia Super League or EPL with a bit of casual Sports Betting. BonusBear understands this reality and has built a platform that encourages members to play within healthy limits.

Problems begin when gambling shifts from a leisure activity to a compulsion. When someone plays not for enjoyment but to relieve stress, chase lost money, or gamble with funds meant for the family's basic needs — these are early signs of problem gambling that should not be ignored.

BonusBear's Core Responsible Gaming Principles

  • Set a budget before you play — only use money you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.
  • Play for fun, not for income — casino games are entertainment, not a reliable source of income.
  • Don't chase your losses — game outcomes are random and there is no guaranteed strategy to recover losses.
  • Play Time Limit — set a time limit and stick to it. Regular breaks are important.
  • Don't play when you're stressed — unstable emotions lead to poor decisions.
  • Seek help early — if you feel there is a problem, the sooner you seek help, the easier recovery will be.

BonusBear Reminder: All games on our platform — from slots and Live Casino to EPL Sports Betting and E-Sports — carry an element of uncertainty. Winnings are never guaranteed, and losses are part of the gaming experience. Please ensure you only wager what you can afford to lose.

BonusBear Gaming Control Tools for Malaysian Members

We provide a range of tools that you can activate directly from your BonusBear account settings — no need to contact anyone

Personal Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit based on what you can comfortably afford. Limits can be reduced immediately, but any increase requires a 24 to 72 hour waiting period as an added safeguard.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with per day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, your account will be automatically blocked from making any further deposits.

Play Time Limit

Limit your session to 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or any duration you choose. Once the time is up, you will be logged out automatically and prompted to take a break.

Cool-Off Period

Choose to take a break from BonusBear for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or carry out any transactions on the platform.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop playing for an extended period, you can apply for self-exclusion for between 6 months and 5 years. Your account will be fully blocked and cannot be reopened before the period ends.

2
Continuously increasing bet amounts

Needing to wager larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement as before.

3
Chasing losses

Continuing to play after a loss in hopes of winning back the money — this is a serious warning sign.

4
Lying about gambling activity

Hiding or lying to family about how much time and money is being spent on gambling.

5
Using essential funds to play

Using money meant for utility bills, your children's school fees, car instalments, or daily necessities to gamble.

6
Borrowing money to gamble

Repeatedly borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling.

7
Neglecting work and family responsibilities

Declining work performance, frequent absenteeism, or failure to meet responsibilities as a spouse or parent.

8
Feeling restless when not playing

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to access a gambling platform.

9
Gambling to escape emotional problems

Using gambling as an escape from work stress, domestic problems, or feelings of sadness and boredom.

10
Multiple failed attempts to stop

Made several attempts to cut down or stop playing but was unsuccessful despite strong resolve.

If you recognise three or more any of the above signs in yourself or someone close to you, please take action immediately. BonusBear is here to help — don't wait until things get worse.

Responsible Gaming — Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, BonusBear offers daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limit options that you can set directly through your account settings. Limits can be reduced immediately. If you wish to increase a limit, a mandatory waiting period of 24–72 hours applies as an additional safeguard for our members.

Cool-Off is a short-term measure — ranging from 24 hours to 90 days — after which your account reactivates automatically. Self-Exclusion is more stringent: it lasts between 6 months and 5 years, and you cannot request to cancel it before the period expires. BonusBear will also not send any promotional communications to accounts under self-exclusion.

This is a situation that calls for sensitivity and empathy. Start by speaking with them at a calm moment, free from accusation. Share your concerns specifically — without passing judgment. If they are open to it, encourage them to contact BonusBear to activate self-control tools or seek professional help. You are also welcome to reach out to BonusBear's support team for guidance on the best way to help your family member.

Absolutely. Your BonusBear account balance remains secure throughout the self-exclusion period. You may contact BonusBear's support team to request a withdrawal to your preferred e-wallet — Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, DuitNow, or your FPX bank account — with no deductions or penalties.

BonusBear conducts strict age verification during registration and confirms members' identities through a KYC process using their Malaysian MyKad number. We also monitor transaction patterns and activity that may indicate use by individuals under 18. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software on home devices and to have open conversations with their children about the risks of gambling.

No. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and BonusBear will not accept new registrations from anyone currently under a self-exclusion period. This includes attempts to register using a different phone number, email address, or identity details. Our system is designed to detect and reject such attempts in order to protect you.
