1906 Responsible Gaming — Your Guide to Playing Safely and Healthily
1906 believes that healthy digital entertainment starts with self-awareness and good self-control. This page provides guides, advice, and support resources to keep your gaming experience enjoyable without disrupting your life balance.
What is 1906's Commitment to Responsible Gaming?
1906 puts user wellbeing first, above everything else. We believe online gaming should be an enjoyable and controlled form of entertainment — not a source of stress or financial strain. That's why 1906 provides a range of tools and resources to help users play responsibly.
Our commitment includes providing easily accessible self-control tools, protecting vulnerable groups including minors, and ensuring all users have access to the information and support resources they need. We also encourage users to always set clear limits before starting any gaming session.
It's important to remember that playing on 1906 is purely for entertainment. Never use money set aside for daily necessities, bills, or family obligations to place bets. Smart decisions start before you begin playing.
How to Identify Risky Gaming Behaviour?
Recognising the signs early is the first step to staying in control. Here are some indicators that your gaming habits may need attention:
Borrowing money or dipping into savings to play, or feeling the urge to win back money that has been lost.
Spending far more time playing than planned, or neglecting work and family responsibilities because of gaming.
Feeling restless, irritable, or distressed when not playing, or using gaming as an escape from life's pressures.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time and money has been spent on online gaming.
Made multiple attempts to cut back or stop playing without success, and continued playing despite knowing it was causing problems.
Gaming habits are starting to negatively affect relationships with a partner, family members, or friends.
How to Set Effective Time and Budget Limits
One of the best ways to keep your gaming experience positive is to set clear limits before you start a session. 1906 encourages all users to practise the following steps:
- Set a daily or weekly budget — Decide how much (RM) you are comfortable spending over a set period. Do not exceed this limit under any circumstances.
- Set a time limit for playing — Set a maximum session duration, for example no more than one or two hours at a time. Use your phone's timer as a reminder.
- Take regular breaks — Avoid playing for long stretches without a break. Get up, stretch, and do something else to keep things balanced.
- Don't chase your losses — If you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop playing. Chasing losses often leads to worse decisions.
- Keep a record — Track how much time and money you spend each week to get a clear picture of your playing habits.
Self-Control Tools Available to You
1906 offers several self-control options to help you better manage your gaming habits. Contact our support team at [email protected] for assistance activating any of the following options:
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit limit for your account. This helps you manage your spending in MYR more effectively.
Step away from the platform for a few days or weeks without closing your account. This gives you time to rest and take stock of your playing habits.
If you feel you need to stop completely for a longer period, you can apply for self-exclusion through our customer support team.
