Our Commitment to Safe Play

Every tool, policy, and process described on this page exists because we genuinely believe that player wellbeing matters more than short-term revenue.

Strict 21+ Age Policy

Every account on Novibet requires age verification. We enforce a mandatory 21+ requirement and cross-check identity documents during KYC to keep underage individuals off the Platform entirely.

Deposit & Loss Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits and loss limits directly through your account. Once set, limits come into effect immediately and cannot be raised without a mandatory cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion Tools

If you feel gambling is no longer enjoyable or is becoming a problem, you can request a cooling-off period of 24 hours to 30 days, or a longer self-exclusion. Exclusions are enforced immediately.

Session Time Alerts

Set a session time reminder and we'll notify you when you've reached the duration you set. It is easy to lose track of time while playing — this tool helps you stay aware and in control.

Activity Transparency

Your full transaction and betting history is accessible within your account at any time. Reviewing your activity regularly is one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy gambling habits.

24/7 Support Access

Our customer support team is available around the clock. If you have concerns about your gambling behaviour or a family member's, you can speak to a real support agent at any time via live chat.

Understanding Responsible Gambling

Responsible gambling means keeping gaming as a leisure activity — something you do for fun, within limits you have consciously chosen. At Novibet, we encourage every player to approach gambling with the same mindset they would apply to any other form of entertainment: budget for it, enjoy it, and stop when you have reached your limit.

The vast majority of Malaysian players who use Novibet do so without any issues. They enjoy betting on Liga Super Malaysia fixtures, following EPL matches, or playing a few rounds of Baccarat as part of their leisure time. Responsible gambling practices are what make that kind of healthy engagement possible.

However, gambling can become problematic for some people. Problem gambling occurs when a person struggles to control their betting behaviour, and their gambling begins to negatively affect their finances, relationships, mental health, or work life. Recognising the early signs is critical — and it is something Novibet takes very seriously.

Gambling should be: A planned leisure activity — budgeted, time-limited, and fully within your control. If it starts to feel like an obligation or a necessity, that is a signal to take a break and seek support.

We want every player across Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya, and Shah Alam to feel that Novibet is a platform that actively looks out for them — not just when things are going well, but especially when they are not.

Your Self-Management Tools

All responsible gambling tools on Novibet are available through your account settings and via our live chat support team. You do not need to provide a reason to use any of these tools — they are available on demand, at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. The limit activates immediately. Requests to increase limits require a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before taking effect, giving you time to reflect on the decision.

Loss Limits

Cap the amount you can lose over a set period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be unable to place further wagers until the period resets. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing one takes 7 days.

Session Time Reminders

You choose the session length. When you reach your set duration, a notification reminds you of the time spent and prompts you to consider whether to continue. There is no penalty for continuing — the reminder is purely informational.

Cool-Off Periods

Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, your account is temporarily suspended from wagering activity. You can still withdraw your balance during a cool-off period.

Self-Exclusion

For longer-term breaks, you can request self-exclusion for a defined period (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or indefinitely). Self-exclusion is enforced immediately. During the exclusion period, the account cannot be reopened regardless of reason.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling often develops gradually. The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is becoming harmful. If you recognise several of these in yourself or someone close to you, it is time to reach out for support.

  • Spending more money on gambling than you originally intended or can afford to lose.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money already lost.
  • Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking on debt to fund gambling activity.
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of time spent gambling.
  • Lying to family members or friends about gambling activity or the amount spent.
  • Repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling despite wanting to do so.
  • Feeling that you must gamble with increasingly large amounts to experience the same level of excitement.

If you recognise these signs: Please use Novibet's self-exclusion tool immediately and consider reaching out to Talian Kasih 15999 or GamCare for confidential professional support.

Protecting Minors

Novibet maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards underage gambling. We take multiple steps to ensure that only eligible adults can register and play on the Platform.

All accounts undergo KYC verification including proof of age via MyKad, Driver's Licence, or Passport before withdrawals are permitted. Accounts with unverified age will be flagged for review.

Parental Controls

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software on that device. This adds an additional layer of protection independent of our own age controls.

Account Security

Keep your Novibet login credentials private. Never share your username and password with family members, including younger relatives. Your account is registered in your name and your responsibility.

Immediate Account Suspension

Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be suspended immediately, all winnings forfeited, and deposits returned. There are no exceptions to this policy under any circumstances.

Play Responsibly — Always

Novibet is here to provide great entertainment for eligible Malaysian adults. If you ever feel that gambling is becoming anything more than that, please use our tools or reach out. There is no shame in taking control.
