689 believes that online gaming should be enjoyable entertainment, not a burden. We provide a range of tools and resources to help every player stay in control.
At 689, we understand that behind every player account is an individual with a life, responsibilities, and feelings. Online gaming — whether slots, Live Casino, or card games — should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of pressure. When it starts to feel like an obligation or a cause of stress, that is a sign we should address together.
That is why 689 has built a comprehensive responsible gaming ecosystem — not just to meet requirements, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player. From daily deposit limits to self-exclusion options, all these tools are available within your platform and can be activated at any time.
Never hesitate to use them. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign that you are a mature and wise player.
The 689 platform is open to users aged 18 and above only. Every new account registration goes through a strict age verification process via our KYC procedure.
Online gaming should be treated as entertainment only. Do not rely on gaming as a primary source of income or as a way to resolve financial problems.
Set a time and money limit you are willing to commit before starting a gaming session. Stick to those limits regardless of the outcome.
Take regular breaks while playing. Do not allow yourself to play when you are tired, stressed, or after consuming alcohol.
If you feel that gaming is beginning to affect your daily life, contact the 689 support team or a relevant problem gambling assistance organisation.
Set the maximum deposit amount you can make within a daily or weekly period. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically block any additional deposits until the limit period resets.
Choose how long you want to play each day. The 689 system will send you a reminder when your session time is almost up, and will automatically log you out once the time limit is reached.
Set the maximum loss amount you can afford within a given period. This ensures you do not overspend and always play within your financial means.
Need a short break? Activate the time-out feature to suspend your account activity for 24 hours, 3 days, one week, or one month — based on your needs.
If you feel the need to stop playing for an extended period, the self-exclusion option allows you to close account access for a duration of 6 months to permanently.
Opt out of receiving any promotional messages, bonus offers, or advertisements from 689. This feature helps reduce the urge for unplanned play.
Gambling problems rarely appear suddenly. They usually develop gradually and are difficult to notice in the early stages. Recognising these signs early is the most important first step to getting help. Here are some signs to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:
If you recognise two or more of the signs below in yourself, we encourage you to reach out to the 689 support team or seek professional help immediately.
Playing with money that should be used for essential needs such as bills, food, or rent.
Constantly thinking about gaming even while doing other activities or working.
Needing to wager increasingly larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement.
Hiding gambling activity from family members or friends.
Playing to "get revenge" or trying to recover money that has already been lost.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or stressed when unable to play.
Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities in favour of gaming.
Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gaming.
Activating responsible gaming tools on the 689 platform is straightforward and can be done on your own. Here is how:
Open the 689 app on your smartphone and log in with your registered username and password.
Tap the profile icon in the top corner and select "Account Settings" from the menu that appears.
Find the "Responsible Gaming" or "Self-Control" section in your settings menu.
Select the type of limit or control you want to activate, set the appropriate value or duration, and confirm your choice.
Tap "Save" or "Activate". Your self-control tool will take effect immediately or within the set period.
If you have difficulty activating self-control tools on your own, the 689 customer support team is available to assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat within the platform. Our team is trained to help with full empathy and without any judgment.
Any limits or restrictions activated through customer support will be enforced within 24 working hours. Limits that increase control (such as reducing your deposit limit) take effect immediately.
Limit changes that reduce control (such as increasing the deposit limit) will only take effect after a 7-day cooling-off period. This is an added safeguard to ensure your decision is made carefully, not out of excitement or pressure.
An activated self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the set period ends — this is to protect your long-term wellbeing.
Answer the following questions honestly. If your answer is "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to seek additional support.
This questionnaire is not a clinical diagnosis, merely a self-reflection guide. If you have concerns, please contact the 689 support team or an accredited problem gambling assistance organisation in Malaysia for a more comprehensive assessment and support.
