Pr1ma's Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At pr1ma, responsible gaming is more than a policy — it is a core value of our platform. We understand that for most Malaysian users, playing online is an enjoyable form of entertainment that causes no harm. At the same time, we recognise that some users may find it challenging to manage their gaming activity.
That is why pr1ma offers a range of self-control tools and information to help you maintain a healthy balance between entertainment and everyday life. Our goal is to ensure every user can enjoy the platform in a way that is safe, sustainable, and within their financial means.
Online gaming should be treated as a form of entertainment with a cost — not as a way to earn income or solve financial problems. When enjoyed within reasonable limits, it can be a fun and rewarding experience.
Warning Signs of Risky Behaviour to Watch Out For
Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is an important first step. Here are some indicators that your gaming habits may need a closer look:
Continuing to play in the hope of winning back money you have already lost. This is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling and often leads to even greater losses.
When gaming starts affecting your work, family, relationships, or daily responsibilities — and takes priority over things that matter more — that's a serious warning sign.
Using borrowed money, credit cards, or funds set aside for essential bills to fund your gaming is a serious warning sign of gambling-related financial problems.
Finding it difficult or impossible to stop playing even when you planned to. Losing control over how much time and money you spend.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time and money you are spending on gaming. Persistent feelings of shame or guilt after every session.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to play. Using gaming as an escape from stress, worry, or problems in your life.
How to Set Limits and Use Self-Control Tools
Pr1ma provides several self-control tools you can use to keep your gaming experience in check. We encourage all users to take advantage of these tools before any issues arise.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. This helps you keep your entertainment spending within limits you define yourself. Deposit limits can be reduced immediately, but increases are subject to a review period.
Temporary Break
If you feel you need a break from the platform for a set period, you can request a temporary break. During this time, you will not be able to access pr1ma. It gives you space to reflect and recharge without any pressure.
Self-Exclusion
For users who need more comprehensive support, the self-exclusion option allows you to close access to your pr1ma account for an extended period. This is a step we fully support, and our team will guide you through the process. Contact [email protected] to get started.
- Set a spending limit before you play and stick to it, no exceptions, even when you're winning.
- Set a time limit for each gaming session. Use your phone's timer as a reminder.
- Never play with money that is needed for essentials such as rent, food, or bills.
- Take regular breaks while playing. Step away from your device for at least 15 minutes every hour — stand up and move around.
- Avoid playing when you are emotionally stressed, tired, or have been drinking alcohol.
- Treat every loss as the cost of entertainment — not as a debt to be recovered through more play.
Minor Protection
Pr1ma takes the protection of children and minors very seriously. Our platform is for users aged 18 and above only, and we take active steps to prevent access by those who are not eligible.
All users are required to verify their age at registration. pr1ma reserves the right to request identity verification documents at any time if there are concerns about a user's age. Any account found to belong to a minor will be closed immediately.
If you share a device with children, make sure you log out of your pr1ma account after every session. Consider using parental control software on family devices and talking to your children about the risks of online gambling.
Get Help — You Don't Have to Face This Alone
If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling-related problem, it is important to know that professional help is available. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
The pr1ma support team can help you activate deposit limits, request a temporary break, or begin the self-exclusion process. We won't judge — we're here to help.
Email: [email protected]
For deeper support, we encourage you to reach out to a counsellor or organisation that provides problem gambling assistance in Malaysia. Trusted family members and friends can also be a valuable source of support.
Speak to your doctor or a mental health counsellor for a referral to an appropriate specialist.
Overall wellbeing matters more than any form of entertainment. Keep online gaming as just a small part of a balanced life — make sure you are spending enough time with family, on work, hobbies, and self-care. If you notice that gaming is taking up too much of your time or energy, that is a good moment to reassess your habits and, if needed, seek support.
