Your Protection Toolkit
Every OKBet account comes with a full suite of responsible gambling tools, available at no cost and activatable immediately. No waiting periods, no hoops to jump through.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your OKBet account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 48-hour cooling-off period before it becomes active — decreases take effect right away.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are prepared to lose within a set period. When your loss limit is reached, further play is paused for the remainder of that period. This tool helps prevent chasing losses — one of the most common triggers of problem gambling behaviour.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gambling session. When your time limit is reached, OKBet will automatically log you out. This is particularly useful for avoiding the "just one more game" cycle that can lead to extended, unintended play sessions.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic pop-up notifications during your play session that show your total time spent gambling and your running balance for the session. These reminders bring you back to the present and let you make an informed decision about whether to continue or stop.
Cooling-Off Period
Request a temporary break from gambling lasting 24 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit or place bets. This is a lighter alternative to full self-exclusion for players who need a short pause to reassess their gambling habits.
Self-Exclusion
Request a longer self-exclusion period — from 6 months up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, marketing communications are stopped, and you cannot create a new account. This is our most powerful player protection tool and it is irreversible during the exclusion period.
Strictly 21 and Above
OKBet operates a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling. We enforce a minimum age of 21 across all games, betting markets, and promotional offers. This is not merely a legal obligation — it is an ethical commitment we hold above and beyond regulatory minimums.
Mandatory KYC Verification
Every account must pass identity verification before withdrawals are processed. Valid government-issued photo ID — MyKad, passport, or equivalent — is required to confirm age. Accounts that cannot be verified are suspended.
Immediate Suspension for Underage Accounts
If OKBet determines or reasonably suspects that an account holder is under 21, the account is suspended immediately. All deposits are returned to the originating payment method. No winnings are paid out — regardless of the game outcome.
Protecting Young People at Home
If you share devices with younger family members, we strongly encourage you to use screen time controls or device parental controls to prevent access to gambling platforms. Always log out of your OKBet account when your session ends, and never share your login credentials with others.
Report an Underage Account
If you believe a person under the age of 21 has gained or is attempting to gain access to OKBet, please contact our live support team immediately. All reports are treated confidentially and investigated without delay.
Requesting Self-Exclusion in 4 Steps
If you feel that gambling is no longer something you can enjoy safely, self-exclusion is the right step. OKBet makes this process as straightforward as possible. There is no judgement — requesting self-exclusion is a courageous and sensible decision.
Contact Our Support Team
Reach our 24/7 live chat team or send an email to [email protected] (plain text — not a link). Clearly state that you wish to self-exclude and the duration you prefer: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently.
Identity Confirmation
Our support team will confirm your identity against the account details on file. This ensures no one can trigger a self-exclusion on your account without your knowledge.
Exclusion Activated Immediately
Your account is locked within minutes of your request being confirmed. You will receive a written confirmation by email. All active marketing emails and promotional notifications are stopped at the same time.
Balance Withdrawal (If Applicable)
Any remaining balance in your account at the time of exclusion — after deducting any non-withdrawable bonus funds — will be processed back to your registered payment method. Real-money balances are not forfeited due to self-exclusion.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious to the person experiencing it. Being aware of the warning signs is the first step toward getting help.
Gambling Beyond Your Means
Repeatedly wagering more than you can comfortably afford, borrowing money to fund gambling, or using funds allocated for essential expenses like rent or food bills.
Chasing Losses
Placing larger or more frequent bets in an attempt to recover previous losses, particularly after a losing streak. This pattern is one of the clearest indicators of harmful gambling behaviour.
Hiding Gambling Activity
Concealing how much you gamble or how much you have lost from family, friends, or a partner. Feeling ashamed or defensive about your gambling habits when others raise concerns.
Preoccupation with Gambling
Spending excessive time thinking about gambling — planning your next bet, reliving past wins, or feeling restless or irritable when you are not able to gamble.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Missing work, neglecting family commitments, or withdrawing from social activities in favour of gambling. When gambling begins to displace important relationships or obligations, it has crossed from entertainment into dependency.
Failed Attempts to Stop
Trying repeatedly to cut down or stop gambling but being unable to do so. Feeling powerless to control the amount of time or money you spend gambling, even when you recognise the harm it is causing.
Are You Gambling Responsibly?
Take a moment to consider the following questions honestly. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool, but it can help you reflect on your gambling habits and whether they may be causing concern.

Live Chat — 24/7 GMT+8What OKBet Does to Protect Players
Responsible gambling is not a legal formality for OKBet. It shapes how we design features, train staff, and build relationships with our players. Here is what we do — concretely — to uphold this commitment every day.
We believe that sustainable growth as a platform depends entirely on the trust and wellbeing of our players. A player who gambles responsibly and stays in control is a player who can enjoy OKBet for years to come. That is the relationship we want to build.
For players aged 21 and above only. If you have a question about any of the commitments listed here, please contact our live support team at any time via the platform.
Mandatory Age Verification
No player can complete withdrawal without passing KYC age verification. Unverified accounts are flagged and cannot receive payouts.
Staff Training
All support staff receive training on problem gambling identification and are equipped to respond with empathy and practical guidance.
No Targeting Vulnerable Players
OKBet will not send promotional offers to players who are on a cooling-off period, are self-excluded, or who have indicated they are having gambling-related difficulties.
Behavioural Monitoring
Our platform monitors patterns consistent with problem gambling — rapid deposit increases, loss-chasing behaviour, and extended sessions — and may proactively reach out to affected players.
Play Responsibly. Enjoy More.
Responsible gambling and great entertainment go hand in hand. Here's where to head next.
