1. What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible Gambling, known in English as Responsible Gambling, is a framework of values and practices that ensures gambling activities remain in control, safe, and free from negative impact on a player's personal life, finances, or social relationships.
At surg99, we don't just provide a betting platform — we take responsibility for ensuring every player who joins us understands their own limits, plays within what they can afford to lose, and seeks help when needed. This is not merely a licensing obligation; it is our sincere commitment to the Malaysian player community.
Gambling can be an enjoyable form of entertainment when done right — just like watching a movie or dining out. Problems arise when betting begins to take over self-control, causing financial stress or disrupting daily life. surg99 is here to help you identify and address the early warning signs before they develop into something more serious.
Gambling should be a leisure activity, not a way to solve financial problems, relieve emotional stress, or generate steady income. If you feel compelled to gamble for any of those reasons, it is time to seek help.
2. Self-Control Tools We Provide
Surg99 equips every account with a comprehensive set of self-control tools, accessible directly from your account settings at any time. These tools are designed to give you, as a player, full control over your gaming experience.
| Control Tools | Effective Period | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit | Immediately after setting | Active |
| Loss Limit | Immediately after setting | Active |
| Single Bet Limit | Immediately after setting | Active |
| Session Time Limit | Immediately after setting | Active |
| Temporary Self-Break (1–30 Days) | Immediate, non-reversible before expiry | Active |
| Permanent Self-Exclusion | Minimum 6 months, extendable | Active |
| Play Time Reminder (Pop-up) | Every 30 / 60 / 90 minutes | Active |
- All limits set to reduce a value (e.g., lowering your deposit limit) take effect immediately — we do not allow a delay period for changes that protect you.
- Any request to increase a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect, giving you time to reconsider your decision with a clearer head.
- All self-control settings are accessible via the Account Settings menu on both the surg99 web platform and mobile app.

4. How to Set Self-Control Limits on surg99
Setting self-control limits on the surg99 platform is simple and can be done in under two minutes. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you make use of the available protection features:
Login to Your surg99 Account
Access the platform via your web browser or the surg99 mobile app. Enter your username and password, then verify with two-factor authentication (2FA) if enabled.
Navigate to "Account Settings"
Click the profile icon in the top-right corner of the page. Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu that appears. Look for the section titled "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control".
Select the Desired Limit Type
You will see a range of limit options — deposit, loss, wagering, and time. Choose the limits that best suit your needs. You may set more than one limit at the same time.
Enter Limit Value and Duration
Set your limit amount in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) and choose your preferred period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Our system can help you calculate a realistic limit based on your current usage if needed.
Confirm and Save Settings
Review the values you have entered, then click "Save Limits". You will receive a confirmation email and an in-app notification. Limits that are protective in nature will take effect immediately.
5. Self-Break and Self-Exclusion
There are two levels of options for players who need a break from wagering activity at surg99 — a temporary self-break and a full self-exclusion. Both options are designed to give you complete control without any questions or interference from our side.
Once a self-exclusion request is submitted, it will be processed within 24 hours. Your account balance will be refunded to your registered bank account within 3–5 business days. This process cannot be reversed before the set period expires.
