Six Core Principles of Responsible Gambling
cita88 built this platform on six core principles to keep your gambling experience enjoyable and safe.
Play Time Limits
Set daily or weekly session time limits through your account. When the limit is reached, the session ends automatically to ensure you do not play for too long.
Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits based on your financial means. cita88 will not allow any deposit that exceeds the limit you have set yourself.
Temporary Break
If you feel you need a break, use the account pause feature for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period the account cannot be accessed for betting activity.
Self-Exclusion
The self-exclusion option lets you close your account temporarily or permanently. This feature is designed specifically for players who need a longer break for their own wellbeing.
Loss Limits
Set the maximum amount of losses you are willing to absorb within a given period. This helps you play within a set budget without the risk of excessive losses.
Live Support
The cita88 support team is available 24/7 via live chat and email in Malay and English. If you need guidance on self-control tools, we are ready to help.
What Is Responsible Gambling?
Responsible gambling means treating betting as entertainment, not as a source of income or a way to resolve financial problems. Responsible players set a budget, stick to those limits, and stop when they reach their set time or money limit.
At cita88, we believe healthy gambling depends on informed decisions by the player. That is why we provide clear control tools and information so every player can make the right decisions before, during, and after a gaming session.
Set a specific budget for gambling before starting a session. Treat that money as an entertainment cost — not an investment expected to return a profit.
Never try to "chase" losses with additional bets. This is the most high-risk pattern in gambling and can lead to more serious problems.
Signs of Problem Gambling
Identify these signs early so preventive steps can be taken right away.
- Feeling stressed or anxious when unable to gamble or when forced to cut back on betting.
- Hiding gambling activity from family members or people close to you.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling.
- Continuing to gamble even after exceeding your planned budget or time.
- Using gambling as a way to escape stress or personal problems.
- Unable to stop even after having intended to do so several times.
- Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to time spent gambling.
Control Is in Your Hands
All these control tools can be accessed directly through your cita88 account or by contacting our support team.

How to Activate Self-Control Limits
Check Your Gambling Habits
Take a moment to answer these self-assessment questions honestly. The purpose is not to judge, but to help you understand your level of self-control in your gambling activity.
If you answer "yes" to three or more questions on this list, consider speaking with the cita88 support team or seeking expert guidance from a qualified external organisation.
Acknowledging a problem is the single most important first step. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of courage and responsibility to yourself and the people you care about.
