1. QQDEWA's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

For QQDEWA, responsible gaming is not just a slogan — it is at the core of how we operate our platform. We believe that online entertainment should deliver enjoyment without compromising anyone's financial wellbeing, mental health, or social relationships.

Every feature, every promotion, and every product decision at QQDEWA is designed with member wellbeing as the top priority. We continuously invest in technology and procedures that help members stay in control while enjoying their favourite games.

Our platform is open only to individuals aged 18 years and above. This is a line we never compromise on. All new registrations go through a thorough identity verification process to ensure compliance with this age policy.

Always Remember: Gaming should only be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money, relieve stress, or solve financial problems. Set your limits before you play and stick to them without fail.

2. Principles of Healthy and Safe Gaming

Responsible gaming means you always maintain full control over your decisions and spending. Here are the core principles we encourage all QQDEWA members to follow:

  • Set a budget before you play — Decide on an amount you can afford to lose before opening any game. Treat it as an entertainment cost, not an investment.
  • Set a time limit — Do not let gaming sessions run on indefinitely. Use a timer or the time limit features available on our platform.
  • Don't chase your losses — Losses are part of the game. Increasing your bets to try to recover lost money is one of the most dangerous habits in gambling.
  • Don't play when you're stressed — Negative emotions such as stress, sadness, or anger can cloud your judgment. Take a break and return to playing only when you feel calm.
  • Balance gaming with other activities — Online gaming should be a small part of your life, not your primary daily activity.
  • Don't borrow to play — Only use disposable funds you can afford to lose. Never use borrowed money, emergency savings, or funds set aside for essential needs.
  • Be honest with yourself — Review your gaming habits regularly. If you find yourself playing more frequently or for longer than planned, take action immediately.
Helpful Tips: Before each gaming session, ask yourself three simple questions — How much can I afford to spend? How long will I play? What will I do after this? Answer all three questions first.

3. Recognise the Early Warning Signs

Problem gambling rarely appears without warning. It usually starts with small behavioural changes that are easy to overlook. Recognising these signs early is key to taking action before the situation becomes more serious.

Exceeding Budget

Frequently spending beyond self-set limits or using money meant for other necessities.

Increased Playtime

Gaming sessions grow longer without realising it, to the point of affecting sleep, work, or daily responsibilities.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play after a loss in hopes of recovering money already lost, which typically results in even greater losses.

Social Withdrawal

Spending less time with family and friends due to a greater interest in playing or concealing playing habits.

Mood Changes

Feeling restless, irritable, or distressed when unable to play; mood tied to whether you win or lose.

Hiding Habits

Lying to loved ones about how much time or money you have spent gaming online.

Critical Signs: If you find yourself borrowing money to play, selling personal belongings, or neglecting bills and your family's basic needs because of gaming — these are serious signs that require immediate professional help. Contact the QQDEWA support team or a relevant gambling assistance organisation.

4. Self-Check — Are You Gaming Responsibly?

An honest self-check is the single most important first step. Try to answer the following questions truthfully. If your answer is "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to speak with someone you trust or contact our support team.

Responsible Gaming Checklist
1
Have you ever played beyond the time or money limits you set for yourself?
2
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity from family members or close friends?
3
Do you play to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
4
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?
5
Do you feel uneasy, anxious, or irritable when trying to stop or cut back on gaming?
6
Does losing at gaming affect your mood or daily productivity?
7
Do you frequently think about gaming even while doing other things?
8
Have you ever tried to stop gaming but found yourself unable to do so?

This self-check is a basic guide only and is not a clinical diagnosis. If you have concerns, please consult a mental health professional or contact us for a referral to a suitable support organisation.

5. Limit-Setting and Self-Control Tools at QQDEWA

QQDEWA provides a range of self-control tools that you can activate directly through your account settings. These tools are designed to help you stay in control without needing to contact customer support — everything is right at your fingertips.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount allowed within a given period. This limit takes effect immediately and can only be decreased right away or increased after a 24-hour waiting period.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When the time limit is reached, you will be notified and the session will end automatically.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss amount allowed per day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, your account will not permit any additional wagering for that period.

Break from Play (Cool-off)

Activate a break period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in or make any deposits into your account.

Self-Exclusion

Full self-exclusion options ranging from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. All active balances will be processed for withdrawal and the account will be fully closed.

Real-Time Reminders

Receive notifications when you have been playing for a set duration or when you are approaching your budget limit.

How to Access: All of these self-control tools can be accessed under "Account Settings" after logging in to the QQDEWA platform. If you need help activating any of these tools, our support team is available 24/7 via live chat.

6. Understanding Deposit Limits and Money Management

Managing your money wisely is the foundation of a responsible gaming experience. QQDEWA provides a flexible yet effective deposit limit system to help you stay in control of your finances.

When you set a deposit limit, our system enforces it automatically — no exceptions, no workarounds. This is the guarantee we extend to every member who is serious about responsible gaming.

  • Daily Limit: The maximum amount you can deposit within any consecutive 24-hour period. Ideal for those who want tight control over their daily spending.
  • Weekly Limit: The maximum deposit amount from Monday to Sunday. Gives you a broader view of your weekly spending patterns.
  • Monthly Limit: The overall cap for a full calendar month, helping you plan your monthly entertainment budget more systematically.
Important to Remember: Increasing a deposit limit requires a mandatory waiting period of at least 24 hours after the request is submitted. This is a protective measure we have deliberately put in place so you have time to reconsider before any increase takes effect.

7. Gaming Breaks and Self-Exclusion

Sometimes, the best step you can take is to pause. QQDEWA offers two main options for members who want to take a break from the platform:

Break from Play (Cool-off Period) is a temporary pause option that can be set between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this period, you cannot make deposits or play, but you can still log in to view your transaction history or withdraw any remaining balance. This is suitable for those who just need a short break to reflect on their gaming habits.

Self-Exclusion is a stricter, long-term option ranging from a minimum of 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. When self-exclusion is activated:

  • Login access to the platform will be fully blocked
  • All promotional communications will be stopped immediately
  • Any active balance in the account will be processed for withdrawal within 5 business days
  • The account cannot be reopened before the exclusion period ends
  • After the exclusion period ends, there is an additional review period before the account can be reactivated
This Is a Sign of Strength, Not Weakness: Requesting a self-exclusion or a break from play is a sign that you are taking control of your own life. QQDEWA fully respects this decision and we will process your request promptly and without any unnecessary questions.

8. Minor Protection

QQDEWA takes a zero-tolerance approach to underage use of the platform. Our platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above, with no exceptions.

The steps we have in place to prevent underage access include:

  • Mandatory age verification during the registration process through an integrated KYC system
  • Strict identity document verification before any first withdrawal is processed
  • Automatic suspension of accounts suspected of being used by underage individuals while an investigation is conducted
  • Continuous monitoring to detect usage patterns that may indicate a potential underage user

Advice for parents and guardians: Make sure your device is password-protected and that children do not have access to your account or login credentials. If you suspect your account has been accessed by an underage individual, contact our support team immediately.

Parental Control Software: We recommend using parental control software on shared devices to prevent unintended access by children. Many high-quality free applications are available for this purpose on both Android and iOS platforms.

9. Get Help — You Don't Have to Face This Alone

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, it is important to remember that help is always available. Seeking help is a sign of courage, not weakness.

The QQDEWA support team is trained to assist members who need guidance on responsible gaming. You can reach us via:

  • 24/7 Live Chat — available directly from the QQDEWA platform or mobile app
  • Email: [email protected] — we respond within 24 hours

Beyond QQDEWA's internal support, there are also independent organisations in Malaysia that provide professional and confidential assistance to those affected by problem gambling. Do not hesitate to reach out to a qualified professional if you feel that is what you need.

A Final Reminder: There is no shame in asking for help. Many people have successfully overcome gambling problems with the right support. The hardest first step is starting the conversation — and we are here to listen.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Log in to your account and go to "Account Settings", then select "Responsible Gaming" or "Limits & Controls". There you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits based on your needs. Limit reductions take effect immediately, while limit increases require a 24-hour waiting period.

A break from play is a temporary pause of between 24 hours and 6 weeks, during which you cannot make deposits or play but can still log in to manage withdrawals. Self-exclusion is a stricter option — from 6 months to permanent — where your access to the platform is fully blocked, including login. This is suited for those who need a firmer long-term solution.

No. Self-exclusion cannot be cancelled before the set period ends. This is an intentional protective feature. Once the period expires, there is an additional review process before the account can be reactivated to ensure your safety and well-being.

Not at all. Once self-exclusion is activated, all marketing and promotional communications are stopped immediately. You will not receive any promotional emails, bonus notifications, or any form of communication inviting you back to play during the exclusion period.

All active balances in your account will be processed for withdrawal to your registered bank account or digital wallet within 5 business days. Your funds are safe and will not be forfeited. Should there be any issue with the withdrawal, our team will contact you via your registered email.
