1190 Responsible Gaming — Play Safe, Play Smart

Last updated: January 2026. This guide applies to all 1190 platform users in Malaysia.
1190's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
1190 takes our social responsibility to all users in Malaysia seriously. We believe online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial trouble. That’s why we’ve integrated multiple protection measures and self-control tools directly into the 1190 platform to help users stay in control at all times.
We respect every user's autonomy to make their own choices, while providing a solid support framework for anyone who needs guidance or extra control. Every self-control feature available on the 1190 platform is easily accessible through your account settings — no complicated process, no judgement.
We also align with internationally recognized responsible gaming principles to ensure this platform is safe for qualified adults while providing effective safeguards against misuse.
Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour
Recognising the early signs of a gambling problem is the most important first step. Everyone is different, but there are common behavioural patterns worth watching for — in yourself or someone you care about. Catching these signs early can prevent the situation from escalating.
Financial Signs
- Borrowing money to play
- Neglecting bills and financial responsibilities
- Spending beyond your set budget
- Concealing how much money has been spent
Emotional & Behavioural Signs
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
- Playing longer than intended
- Using gaming as an escape from problems
- Losing interest in other activities in life
If you identify two or more of the signs above in yourself, we encourage you to use the self-control tools available on the 1190 platform or seek help from a professional. Taking this early step can make a real difference.
How to Set Healthy Time and Budget Limits
One of the best practices in responsible gaming is setting clear limits before you start playing — not during or after a session. This proactive approach helps you stay in full control without having to rely solely on willpower when the pressure is on.
Budget Limit
Decide upfront how much MYR (RM) you're comfortable spending on entertainment per day, week, or month. Think of it like a movie ticket or a dinner out — money spent for enjoyment, not investment. Once you hit that limit, stop playing for the set period without adding another deposit.
Time Limit
Set a specific session time limit — for example, no more than one hour per session. Use your smartphone's timer as a cue to stop. Allowing enough time between sessions helps you make clearer decisions and avoid impulsive play. 1190 encourages all users to take regular breaks during longer sessions.
Track Your Activity
Monitor your deposit records and gaming activity through the transaction history section in your 1190 account. Reviewing this regularly gives you a clearer picture of your spending patterns and helps you identify if any adjustments need to be made.
Available Self-Control Features
The 1190 platform offers several self-control features that users can activate at any time through account settings. These tools are designed to empower you — not penalise you — and can be customised to suit your personal needs.
Deposit Limit
Set a maximum deposit limit per day, week, or month in RM. Once set, the system will block any further deposits until the limit period expires.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel like you need a break, use the cooling-off feature to temporarily block access to your account — whether for a few days or a few weeks.
Self-Exclusion
For more comprehensive control, you can apply for a long-term self-exclusion. This will fully block your account for the period you choose, and cannot be reversed early.
To activate any of these self-control features, log in to your account and go to the security settings section. If you need assistance, contact the 1190 support team by email at [email protected].
Protection for Minors
1190 has a zero-tolerance policy on access by individuals under the age of 18. Online gaming is strictly an adult activity, and we take this responsibility very seriously. All users who register are required to verify their age, and 1190 reserves the right to request identity verification documents at any time.
For parents and guardians, we encourage you to take the following steps to prevent children from accessing online gaming sites: install parental control software on shared devices, avoid saving account passwords anywhere accessible to children, and have open conversations with your children about the risks of uncontrolled gambling.
Anyone who suspects their account is being accessed by a minor should contact our support team immediately. We will take prompt action to investigate and protect all parties involved. Together, we can ensure a safe online environment for every Malaysian family.
Balance Life and Seek Professional Help
Online gaming should be a small part of a balanced life — not the centre of it. 1190 encourages all users to ensure that gaming doesn't interfere with family relationships, work, health, or daily responsibilities. When entertainment starts taking over what matters more, it's time to reassess.
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, seeking professional help is a brave and wise step. In Malaysia, there are various support resources available that you can reach out to confidentially. We encourage you to speak with a counsellor or mental health professional experienced in addiction-related issues.
Remember, asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 1190 is committed to supporting the wellbeing of our users well beyond the gaming experience. If you'd like to discuss self-control options or need guidance on next steps, our support team is here for you at [email protected].
