Shell99's Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

This is not just footer text – it is how Shell99 operates every day to protect our Malaysian members

Deposit Limits You Control
shell99 allows every member to set their own daily and weekly deposit limits through Account Settings. Once a limit is reached, the system will not process any additional deposits until the limit period resets. Limits take effect immediately upon being set. To increase a limit, a 7-day waiting period applies to ensure it is a deliberate decision, not an impulsive one.
Daily Limit · Weekly Limit · Effective Immediately
Session Limit & Play Time Reminders
Set your session time limit under shell99 Account Settings — available in 30-minute, 1-hour, 2-hour, or 4-hour increments for a single continuous session. Once the limit is reached, the system will display a reminder notice and automatically log you out. This feature helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing without having to check the clock manually.
30 Min – 4 Hours · Reminders & Auto Log-Out
Cool-Off – Step Back, Come Back Fresh
The "Cool-Off" feature lets you take a short break from Shell99 without having to close your account entirely. Choose a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or play, but your account and balance remain safe. This is useful for members who feel they need a brief pause to regain a clearer perspective.
24 Hours · 48 Hours · 7 Days · Balance Remains Safe
Self-Exclusion – Full Control in Your Hands
Self-exclusion is a more serious step than cool-off. You can choose to exclude yourself from the shell99 platform for 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or permanently. While the exclusion period is active, shell99 will block all access — including login attempts from new devices and any marketing communications. Any remaining balance will be returned to you via your original payment method.
30 Days – Permanent · Balance Returned
Strict 18+ Age Verification
shell99 enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 years for all members, without exception. During the registration process and prior to the first withdrawal, shell99 verifies a member's age through their MyKad number or a valid passport. If shell99 detects or receives a report that a member is under 18, the account will be suspended immediately and all funds will be returned to the rightful owner.
18+ Required · Strict KYC · Zero Exceptions
Proactive Monitoring by the shell99 Team
Shell99 uses a data analytics system to continuously monitor member play patterns. If a member's behaviour shows concerning signs – such as a sudden increase in deposit frequency and amount, unusually long play sessions, or abnormal loss patterns – our team will proactively reach out to that member to offer assistance and information about available support resources.
Analytics · Early Intervention · 24/7

Responsible gaming is not just a phrase Shell99 puts in the footer to meet compliance requirements. It reflects how we think about our business and our relationship with every member. We recognise that entertainment platforms like Shell99 carry significant influence in the lives of their users – and with that influence comes a responsibility that must never be taken lightly.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming – or in the context of a digital platform like Shell99, "responsible gaming" – means using an online entertainment platform in a way that does not harm your own wellbeing, your family, or your finances. It is about balance: enjoying the entertainment Shell99 provides – from slots and baccarat at the Live Casino, to lottery and betting on the Malaysia Super League and EPL – while maintaining healthy control over the time, money and decisions you make.

Responsible gaming means playing with money you can afford to lose — not your savings, not your rent money, not funds your family depends on. It means you play because it is enjoyable, not because you are trying to "win back" yesterday's losses. It means you can stop whenever you choose, not because you are forced to stop when the money runs out.

Shell99 recognises that the vast majority of our members are responsible adults who play sensibly. But we also understand that a small number of players may struggle with managing their gaming habits – and for them, Shell99 is here with the tools, support and information they need.

Always remember: The odds in all casino games and lotteries always favour the platform over the long run. This is no secret – it's simply how the industry works. Shell99 publishes the actual RTP (Return to Player) for every game. Play with realistic expectations and only with money you are prepared to lose for the sake of entertainment.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Problem gambling rarely appears out of nowhere. It typically develops gradually, with subtle signs that are easy to overlook or rationalize. shell99 encourages every member to honestly assess their own gaming patterns. Here are some warning signs that deserve serious attention:

You are gambling with money meant for essentials such as rent, bills or food
You keep playing even after deciding to stop – "just one more round"
You are playing to "break even" or recover losses from a previous session
Your daily routines – such as work, family, or social relationships – are being disrupted by the time you spend playing
You hide your gaming activity or the amount of money you've spent from family members
You feel anxious, restless, or irritable when you are unable to play
You need to deposit more or place larger bets to feel the same level of excitement
You are borrowing money or selling assets to fund your gaming activity

If you identify two or more of the signs above in yourself, it may be a good time to talk to someone you trust, or to reach out to the National Psychology Helpline at 15500. Shell99 is also here to help you activate the protection features that best suit your needs.

How to Use Shell99's Responsible Gaming Tools

All of Shell99's responsible gaming tools are accessible through the Account Settings → Responsible Gaming once you are logged in. Here is a quick guide to each tool:

Set a Deposit Limit
Go to Account Settings → Deposit Limits. Choose a daily limit (e.g. RM100 per day) or a weekly limit (e.g. RM500 per week). Limits take effect immediately. Decreasing a limit applies instantly. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period.
Immediate · 7 Days to Increase Limit
Set Session Limit
Go to Account Settings → Time Limits. Select the maximum duration for a single continuous session — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours. The system will alert you 10 minutes before the limit is reached and automatically log you out once it is.
30 Min – 4 Hours · Auto Logout
Activate Cool-Off
Go to Account Settings → Cool-Off. Choose your break period: 24 hours, 48 hours or 7 days. The cool-off begins immediately. You cannot cancel an active cool-off – this is to protect your decision from impulsive actions.
24 Hours / 48 Hours / 7 Days · Cannot Be Cancelled
Activate Self-Exclusion
Go to Account Settings → Self-Exclusion, or contact Shell99 support directly. Choose your period: 30 days, 90 days, 6 months or permanent. Your balance will be returned to your original payment method. Permanently excluded accounts are blacklisted from all promotions and marketing communications.
30 Days – Permanent · Balance Returned · No Promos

If you need help activating any of these features, or if you require an immediate self-exclusion, contact Shell99 support via 24-hour live chat or email us at support@shell99.biz. Our team is trained to assist in these situations with full empathy and without any judgment.

Manage Your Finances – A Smart Budgeting Guide

One of the most important aspects of responsible gaming is sound financial management. Shell99 encourages every member to set a clear entertainment budget before they play – not after they have already made a deposit.

A simple approach to setting a healthy entertainment budget:

  • Decide what percentage of your monthly income you are comfortable allocating to entertainment overall — including dining out, movies, concerts, and so on
  • From that entertainment budget, set aside a specific portion for online gaming – if you allocate RM200 a month for all entertainment, perhaps just RM50 of that goes to Shell99
  • Use Shell99's weekly or monthly deposit limit to lock in your budget so you cannot exceed it, even when tempted
  • Think of the money you deposit as an "entertainment ticket" – just like a cinema ticket, you do not expect a refund after the show is over
  • Never borrow money, dip into emergency savings, or use credit cards to fund your play

Keep in mind that in Malaysia, deposits to shell99 can be made via Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, FPX, Boost, and ShopeePay — methods that are fast and incredibly convenient. That convenience is a genuine advantage, but it also means you need to be more disciplined about setting your own limits, precisely because the process is so effortless.

Impact on Family & Loved Ones

Problem gambling does not only affect the individual involved – it often has an impact on the entire family. Spouses, children, parents and close friends can all feel the financial and emotional strain that stems from a family member's gambling problem.

If you are concerned about the gambling habits of someone you care about:

  • Approach the conversation calmly and without blame – use "I'm worried about you" rather than "you always do this"
  • Avoid paying off their debts or giving them money that may be used for gambling
  • Seek support for yourself too — you may also need help coping with this situation
  • Contact the National Psychological Support Helpline at 15500 for professional guidance on how to help a family member struggling with a gambling problem

If you are a concerned family member who knows that your loved one holds a Shell99 account, you may contact Shell99 support at support@shell99.biz to find out how we can help within the boundaries of applicable privacy and legal requirements.

Shell99's Unwavering Commitment

Shell99 understands that as a platform offering online casino games, lottery, slots and Sports Betting to over 300,000 members across Malaysia, we carry significant influence. And we take the responsibility that comes with that influence seriously.

Shell99's commitment to responsible gaming is reflected in concrete actions:

  • All Shell99 customer support staff undergo specialised training to identify signs of problem gambling and handle such situations with empathy and professionalism
  • Shell99 does not send bonus offers or promotions to members who are currently in a cool-off or self-exclusion period
  • Shell99 does not use marketing tactics designed to encourage excessive play or exploit user psychology
  • The actual RTP (Return to Player) for every game is publicly published – Shell99 believes informed players make smarter decisions
  • Shell99 contributes to responsible gaming awareness initiatives and supports research into the effects of gambling on Malaysian society

We recognise a fundamental tension in our business – we earn revenue when our members play, yet we also want our members to be healthy and well. Shell99 believes these two goals are not necessarily at odds. Members who play responsibly – with a clear budget, within limits they set themselves, because they genuinely enjoy the entertainment – are the members who will continue playing with Shell99 for the long term. That is exactly what we want.

Check Yourself – Are You Gambling Responsibly?

Answer these questions honestly:

I only play with money I can afford to lose, not money set aside for essentials
I have clear time and spending limits for every gaming session
I can stop playing whenever I want without feeling pressured
My daily life is not disrupted by online gaming
I play for entertainment, not to solve financial problems

Signs to watch out for:

I often end up depositing more than I originally planned
I play to "win back" previous losses
My family or friends are worried about my gambling habits

If you identify with one or more of the warning signs above, consider using Shell99's deposit limit or cool-off feature, or contact 15500 to speak with a counsellor.

FAQ – shell99 Responsible Gaming

Frequently asked questions about responsible gaming features at Shell99

No. This is an intentional design decision to protect you. The cool-off and self-exclusion features are designed to be non-reversible once activated. This ensures that a decision you make with a clear head cannot be undone in an impulsive moment when you feel tempted to return to play early. A cool-off will end automatically once your chosen period has elapsed – after which you are free to log back in. For self-exclusion, the minimum set period must fully expire before any request to reopen an account can be considered. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances.

When you activate self-exclusion, any remaining balance in your Shell99 account will be refunded within 3 business days via the same payment method used for your last deposit – whether that is Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, FPX, or another e-wallet. If you have an active bonus still undergoing rollover, that bonus portion cannot be withdrawn – only your actual deposit will be refunded. Once the balance has been returned, your account will remain suspended until the self-exclusion period ends. Shell99 will not send any promotional offers or marketing communications to you during this period.

You can reach shell99 at support@shell99.biz to raise your concerns. However, please understand that shell99 is unable to disclose any member's account information to third parties — including their friends or family — due to the privacy and data protection policies we adhere to. What shell99 can do is review the account activity in question internally and take action if there are clear signs of a problem. The most effective thing you can do is speak directly with your friend about your concerns, and perhaps encourage them to contact the National Psychology Helpline at 15500 — it is free, confidential, and staffed by professionals.

Shell99's proactive monitoring is a system that analyses aggregated platform usage patterns to identify signs of potential problem gambling that may require immediate intervention. It looks at indicators such as sudden spikes in deposit frequency and amount within a short period, unusually long uninterrupted play sessions, repeated patterns of depositing immediately after withdrawals, and abrupt shifts to higher-value betting. When the system detects suspicious patterns, Shell99's trained support team – not an automated system – will reach out to the member via their registered contact channel to offer information on responsible gaming features and available support resources. Your privacy is fully protected – these interactions are confidential and are never shared with any third party.

Shell99's deposit limit applies to your account as a whole, not to individual payment methods separately. This means the limit you set covers the cumulative total of all deposits made through all payment methods – whether via Touch 'n Go eWallet, DuitNow, GrabPay, FPX, Boost, or ShopeePay. For example, if your weekly limit is RM200 and you have already deposited RM150 through TNG eWallet, you can only deposit a further RM50 through any payment method for the remainder of that week. This ensures your limit is truly effective and cannot be bypassed by switching payment methods.

Play Safe – Shell99 Quick Guide

Five principles we encourage all Malaysia members to follow for a responsible and enjoyable experience

💰
Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you are comfortable spending on entertainment this month before you open your Shell99 account. Use the deposit limit feature to lock in that budget.

⏱️
Set a Session Time Limit

Time flies when you're gaming. Use Shell99's session limit feature to keep your play within the time you planned – not beyond it.

🎯
Play for Entertainment, Not Income

Shell99 is an entertainment platform, not a reliable source of income. Enjoy gaming as a recreational activity, not as a financial strategy.

🚫
Do Not Chase Losses

When you lose, accept it and stop. Chasing losses to "break even" almost always leads to even greater losses. A losing session is a finished session.

🤝
Ask for Help Without Shame

If you feel that gaming is starting to affect your life, reach out for help. Call 15500, or contact shell99 support to activate the protection features you need.

🔞
18+ Only – No Exceptions

Shell99 is strictly for individuals aged 18 and above. If you are aware of someone underage accessing this platform, please report it to us immediately.
