Betting should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of financial stress or harm. AresBet provides every player with the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control. This page is one of the most important on our site.
At AresBet, we build products for players who enjoy sports betting and live casino games as a leisure activity. We want our players in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Penang, Johor Bahru, and across Malaysia to have a good time — and to remain in complete control of how much time and money they spend on our platform.
Responsible gambling is not a checkbox for us. It shapes the decisions we make about platform features, the tools we make available in every account, and how our support team is trained to respond when players raise concerns. The resources on this page are available to every registered AresBet player at no cost, without penalty, and without judgment.
"Gambling with money you can't afford to lose is not entertainment — it's a problem. AresBet is here to help you stay on the right side of that line."
The vast majority of our players enjoy AresBet responsibly — placing a few bets on an EPL weekend, following Liga Super Malaysia fixtures, or catching a UFC event. For most, it stays exactly that: a controlled, budgeted form of weekend entertainment. But for some, the pattern can shift. Losses get chased. Bets get larger. The excitement that made betting fun starts to feel like an obligation or a compulsion.
If you recognise any of that in yourself — or in someone close to you — the tools and information on this page exist specifically for you. Use them without hesitation. A self-exclusion is not a failure. A deposit limit is not a restriction — it's a sensible boundary that the vast majority of financially disciplined bettors operate within anyway.
AresBet is strictly for players aged 21 (twenty-one) and above. We enforce this through mandatory KYC identity verification and reserve the right to request age documentation at any time. Accounts confirmed to belong to underage users are permanently closed immediately.
Every one of these tools is available to all registered AresBet players through the Account Settings section. There is no fee to use them, and using them will never result in any penalty or restriction on legitimate account activity.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month in MYR. This is the single most effective tool for keeping gambling spending under control. Once a limit is active, it cannot be exceeded regardless of your available funds. Reductions take effect immediately. Any request to increase an existing limit is subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the increase applies.
Request a temporary or permanent exclusion from the AresBet platform. Temporary exclusions are available for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible and results in full account closure. During any self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account balance, subject to standard verification, will be returned on request. Self-exclusions are processed within 24 hours.
Define the maximum amount of time you wish to spend in a single betting or gaming session. Once your limit is reached, AresBet will display a notification and prompt you to log out. You can also set regular reality check reminders — on-screen alerts that appear every 20, 30, or 60 minutes to show you how long you have been playing and what your net win/loss position is.
A cool-down period is a short-term break from betting activity — available for 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days. Unlike self-exclusion, a cool-down period can be lifted after the elected period expires. It is designed for players who want a brief pause to reassess their gambling habits without committing to a full self-exclusion. During a cool-down, betting and deposits are suspended.
Access a detailed, transparent record of all your betting activity, deposits, withdrawals, and net outcomes through the Account History section of your AresBet dashboard. Reviewing your actual activity regularly is one of the most useful habits a responsible gambler can develop. Data is available for the previous 12 months at any time.
If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour — or someone else's — you can contact our support team directly through live chat. Our agents are trained to handle responsible gambling conversations with empathy and confidentiality. We can activate limits, initiate cool-downs, and refer you to external support resources. Available 8 AM – 2 AM MYT.
Problem gambling rarely announces itself clearly. It develops gradually, and many people experiencing it are the last to recognise it in themselves. The warning signs below are drawn from widely recognised responsible gambling frameworks. If several of these apply to you, please consider using our self-exclusion tool or reaching out for support.
There is no shame in recognising a problem and taking action. Thousands of Malaysians have successfully addressed problem gambling through professional support — and many continue to enjoy responsible, recreational betting after getting help.
If you identify with 3 or more of these signs, please take action today. Use the self-exclusion or cool-down tools in your Account Settings, or contact our support team for a confidential conversation.
Betting with money you cannot afford to loseUsing rent, bill payments, grocery money, or other essential funds to place bets is a clear and serious warning sign.
Chasing lossesPlacing larger or more frequent bets to try to recover previous losses is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.
Hiding gambling activityConcealing bets, losses, or the amount of time spent gambling from family members, friends, or a partner is a significant red flag.
Gambling to escape stress or anxietyUsing betting as a way to manage negative emotions, escape daily problems, or numb difficult feelings is a warning sign of dependency.
Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilitiesIf gambling is causing you to miss work commitments, neglect family relationships, or withdraw socially, the balance has shifted dangerously.
Borrowing money to fund gamblingTaking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from friends or family specifically to continue gambling is a serious sign that should not be ignored.
Difficulty stopping once you startFinding that you consistently bet for much longer than you intended, or that you feel unable to stop even when you want to, suggests a loss of control.
Feeling irritable or anxious when not gamblingExperiencing restlessness, irritability, or anxiety during periods when you are not gambling may indicate psychological dependency.
These questions are adapted from internationally recognised responsible gambling assessment tools. Answer honestly — this is for your benefit, and no one else will see your answers. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly recommend taking action.
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned in a single session?
Have you ever lied to someone close to you about how much you gamble, or about your losses?
Have you ever borrowed money — from a person or financial product — specifically to place bets?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when you're not betting?
Have you ever continued gambling to try to win back money you had already lost?
Has gambling ever caused you to neglect important responsibilities — at work, at home, or with family?
Have you ever felt a strong urge to gamble that was very difficult to resist, even when you knew you shouldn't?
Has someone close to you — a partner, family member, or close friend — expressed concern about your gambling?
3 or more "yes" answers?This suggests your gambling may have moved beyond recreational. Please use our self-exclusion tool immediately via Account Settings, or contact our support team. You may also find it helpful to speak with a specialist — see the support resources section below.
