The Platform's Commitment to Healthy Gaming

1700 puts the wellbeing of Malaysian users above everything else. We believe online gaming should be a source of fun and entertainment — not stress or financial hardship. That's why we provide a range of tools, information, and support to help our users play responsibly.

Responsible gaming means understanding that outcomes are random and unpredictable. It is not a way to generate income, pay off debts, or work through personal problems. The primary goal should always be controlled entertainment within a pre-set budget.

1700 is committed to providing a safe, transparent gaming environment that supports users who need help managing their gaming habits.

Know the Signs of Risky Behaviour

It is important to recognise the early signs of risky gaming behaviour. The sooner you notice them, the easier it is to take the right steps. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following situations apply to you:

Financial Warning Signs

Borrowing money or selling assets to fund gaming
Using money meant for daily necessities (rent, food, bills) to fund play
Continuing to play even after exceeding self-imposed limits
Trying to "chase" losses by placing bigger bets

Emotional and Time-Related Warning Signs

Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming
Feeling restless, irritable, or uneasy when unable to play
Hiding gaming activity from family members or friends
Gaming as an escape from stress, anxiety, or sadness

If you find that several of the above situations apply to you, consider using the self-control tools provided by the 1700 platform or seek professional help.

How to Set Healthy Time and Budget Limits

Set a Play Budget Limit

Before you start playing, decide on an amount you're comfortable losing without affecting your everyday financial needs. Think of it as an entertainment budget — just like going to the cinema or dining out.

  • Keep your personal savings account separate from your play funds
  • Set a realistic monthly deposit limit in RM
  • Stop when your limit is reached — no exceptions
  • Don't deposit more to "chase" losses

Control Your Play Time

Time spent gaming can creep up without you realising it. Set a clear time limit for each session and make sure you have other enjoyable activities outside the platform.

  • Use a clock or phone reminders to cap your play sessions
  • Avoid playing late at night or when you are tired
  • Make sure gaming does not replace social or family activities
  • Take at least one day off from gaming each week

Self-Control Tools Available on the 1700 Platform

1700 offers several self-control features to help users proactively manage their gaming habits. These tools can be accessed through your account settings.

Deposit Limit

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in RM. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered straight away — increasing a limit requires a waiting period.

Temporary Break

Option to take a break from the platform for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or carry out any transactions.

Self-Exclusion

Long-term self-exclusion options (minimum 6 months) for users who feel they need a more extended break. Contact [email protected] to apply.

How to apply: Log in to your 1700 account and go to Account Settings to activate deposit limits or a temporary break. For long-term self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] and state the exclusion period you require.

Minor Protection

1700 takes its responsibility to prevent individuals under the age of 18 from accessing our platform seriously. Age verification is carried out during registration, and we reserve the right to request identification documents at any time.

To parents and guardians: if you share a device with your children, please take the following steps to prevent them from accessing online gaming platforms:

  • Do not save your account password on a shared browser
  • Log out of the platform each time you're done using it
  • Use the parental control features available on your device or browser
  • Have open conversations with your children about the risks of gambling
  • Report to the 1700 platform if you suspect an account has been accessed by a minor

Any account verified to have been accessed by a minor will be closed immediately, and the remaining balance will be returned in accordance with established procedures.

Life Balance and How to Get Help

Online entertainment is just one small part of a balanced lifestyle. 1700 encourages all users to maintain a healthy balance between gaming, work, family, and positive social activities.

If you or someone you know is struggling with uncontrolled gaming habits, it's important to know that help is available. Acknowledging the problem is the most important first step — and it takes real courage.

First Steps You Can Take

  • Talk to a trusted family member or friend about how you are feeling
  • Use the self-control tools within the 1700 platform to set stricter limits for yourself
  • Track your gaming habits — time spent, amounts, and how you feel after each session
  • Find positive alternative activities to fill your free time
  • If the problem persists, seek professional help from a counsellor or mental health specialist
