Introduction

Healthy Entertainment Starts with Self-Awareness

At hoki178, we understand that most of our members play purely for fun and entertainment. However, we also recognise that some individuals may struggle with their gambling habits. Our commitment to responsible gaming is therefore not merely a licensing requirement – it is a core value we stand by.

Responsible gaming means making smart decisions about how much time and money you spend playing. It means understanding that winning is a bonus, not a guarantee. And most importantly, it means knowing when to stop and seeking help when needed.

The hoki178 platform comes equipped with a range of self-control tools that you can access directly from your account settings. All these features are designed to give you full control over your gaming experience, without needing to contact anyone first.

Remember: Gambling should be viewed purely as entertainment. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose, or use gambling as a way to solve financial problems.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming

Before you start playing, ask yourself these simple questions. If you can answer all of them honestly and positively, you are on the right track:

  • I play for fun, not to earn income or settle debts.
  • I have set money and play time limits before starting a session.
  • I will not borrow money or use savings to gamble.
  • I understand that game outcomes are random and cannot be influenced by any particular "strategy".
  • I know that every game outcome is independent and does not depend on previous rounds.
  • I can stop playing at any time without feeling pressured or anxious.
Warning Signs

Recognise the early warning signs of a gambling problem before it becomes serious:

  • Thinking about gambling all the time
  • Betting more than planned
  • Chasing losses with larger bets
  • Hiding gambling habits from family
  • Borrowing money to gamble
  • Failing to meet responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop

If you recognise 3 or more of the signs above, please seek help immediately.

Self-Control Tools

Protection Features We Provide

All self-control tools can be accessed directly from your account settings without needing to contact anyone.

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to ensure you do not spend more than you planned. These limits take effect immediately and require a cooling-off period before they can be increased.

Play Time Limit

Control the duration of each gaming session by setting a time limit. Once the limit is reached, the platform will automatically remind you and ask you to confirm if you wish to continue playing.

Self-Break

Need a short break? Use the self-break feature to set a break period of 24 hours, 3 days, one week, or one month. During this period, your account cannot be used for wagering.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, the self-exclusion option allows you to block access to your account for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This is a serious commitment that cannot be reversed before the period ends.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb in a day, week, or month. Once the loss limit is reached, the system will automatically block any new bets until the limit period expires.

Activity History

Review your detailed betting, deposit, and withdrawal history at any time. This information helps you assess your own playing habits and make smarter decisions going forward.

Self-Assessment

Are You Playing Responsibly?

Answer the questions below honestly. If you answer "Yes" to 3 or more questions, we encourage you to speak with a professional or use the self-control tools we provide.

1

Have you ever felt the need to bet with larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?

2

Have you ever tried to cut down or stop gambling but failed to do so?

3

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships with family or friends?

4

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

5

Have you ever hidden your gambling activities from those close to you?

6

Have you ever returned to gambling the next day to try to win back money you lost?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, do not be ashamed to seek help. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on Responsible Gaming

Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions by hoki178 members about responsible gaming.

Can't find the answer you're looking for? Contact our support team via 24/7 live chat and we will assist you promptly.

Log in to your account, go to Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" or "Deposit Controls" section. From there, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. These limits take effect immediately, and any request to increase a limit requires a cooling-off period of 24 to 72 hours.

No. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and cannot be cancelled before the set period ends. This is for your own benefit. Once the period ends, you will need to contact the support team to submit a request to reopen your account, and there is an additional cooling-off period before the account is reactivated.

All balances in your account remain safe during the self-exclusion period. Your funds will not be lost or affected in any way. Once the self-exclusion period ends and your account is reactivated, you can make withdrawals as normal.

A self-break is a temporary break period ranging from 24 hours to one month, suitable for those who simply need a short pause. Self-exclusion is a more serious and permanent measure for a minimum period of 6 months, suitable for those who feel they have a more serious gambling problem and require professional help.

hoki178 only allows individuals aged 18 and above to register and use the platform. Age verification is carried out during the KYC process. Any account found to be owned by an underage individual will be closed immediately and all funds will be returned in accordance with the relevant procedures.

In Malaysia, you can seek help from the Counselling Service Centre of the Ministry of Health Malaysia or problem gambling support organisations operating in the country. The hoki178 support team can help direct you to the appropriate resources – contact us via 24/7 live chat for more information.
