Our Commitment to Healthy Gaming
85po believes online entertainment should bring joy, not stress. That is why we take responsible gaming seriously and provide a range of tools to help users stay in control.
The 85po platform is designed for adult users who play by their own choice and with a full understanding of the risks involved. We do not encourage anyone to play beyond their financial means or to use gaming as a way to resolve financial difficulties.
Our commitment is clear: we provide the tools you need, present information transparently, and offer support to anyone who needs it. Playing at 85po should be a fun and fully controlled experience.
Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour
Gaming becomes a problem when it begins to negatively impact your daily life, relationships, or finances. It is important to recognise the early signs before they develop into something more serious.
Early Warning Signs
- Feeling the need to wager increasingly larger amounts to experience the same level of excitement.
- Finding it hard to stop playing even when you intended to.
- Gaming as an escape from problems or feelings of discomfort.
- Lying to loved ones about gaming activity or the amount of money spent.
- Using money intended for basic necessities on gaming.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when unable to play.
Signs of Healthy Gaming
- Play using a pre-set entertainment budget only.
- Able to stop playing at any time without feeling pressured.
- Viewing gaming as entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Not chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to recover money lost.
- Balancing gaming time with other meaningful activities.
- Personal relationships and responsibilities are not affected by gaming activity.
How to Set Smart Time and Budget Limits
One of the most effective ways to game responsibly is to set clear limits before you start playing. This isn't a sign of weakness — it's a sign of wisdom.
Budget Limit
Decide in advance how much (RM) you are comfortable spending on entertainment over a set period — weekly or monthly. This amount should come from your entertainment budget, not from money earmarked for essentials like bills, rent, or food. Once that limit is reached, stop playing — no exceptions.
Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. Use your phone's timer as a reminder. Take regular breaks every hour to reassess how you're feeling. Avoid playing late at night when fatigue can impair your judgement.
A Simple Checklist Before You Play
- Set a maximum deposit limit for the month.
- Set a session time limit — for example, one hour only.
- Decide in advance that you will not chase your losses.
- Make sure all bills and financial obligations are settled first.
- Tell someone you trust about your activity if you feel you need accountability.
- Stop when your limit is reached — no excuses, no exceptions.
Self-Control Tools on 85po
85po offers several self-control tools that you can activate at any time through your account or by contacting our support team. These tools are designed to give you full control over your gaming activity.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in MYR. Limits take effect immediately and can be lowered at any time.
Activate a temporary cool-off period of 24 hours, three days, or seven days whenever you feel the need to step away for a while.
Users may request to exclude themselves from the platform for an extended period. Contact our support team for assistance with this process.
The 85po support team is available at any time to help you activate any self-exclusion or responsible gaming feature via live chat or email.
To activate any of the features above, please contact our support team at [email protected]. Self-control requests are processed immediately and treated as a priority.
Minor Protection
85po has a strict policy: this platform is for adult users aged 18 and above only. We take active steps to prevent underage access and encourage parents and guardians to play their part in upholding this protection.
If you share a device with children or teenagers at home, we recommend that you:
- Using a strong password and never sharing your 85po account login details with anyone.
- Log out of your account after every session, especially on shared devices.
- Using parental control software on devices that children can access.
- Having open conversations with children about the risks of online gambling and the importance of waiting until they are adults.
Any user suspected to be under 18 will have their account suspended immediately while identity verification is carried out.
Life Balance & Seeking Professional Help
Maintaining a Healthy Balance
Online gaming should be a small part of your broader life — not the centre of it. Make sure you maintain meaningful social connections, look after your physical and mental wellbeing, and engage in a variety of activities beyond the screen.
If gaming starts to affect your sleep, work, relationships, or finances, these are important signals you should not ignore. Taking a step back and reassessing your relationship with the activity is a sign of maturity and strength, not weakness.
