589's Commitment to Member Wellbeing

Guide Responsible Gaming at 589

At 589, we believe the best entertainment is safe and controlled. This page provides all the information, tools, and resources you need to ensure your gaming experience remains enjoyable and harm-free.

Play for Fun, Not to Escape

Online gambling is a form of entertainment — just like watching a movie or dining out. When you play with the right mindset, it can be an enjoyable and exciting experience. Problems arise when gaming begins to take over your life, finances, or relationships.

At 589, we take this responsibility seriously. It is not just words on paper — we provide real control tools you can use directly within your account, with no approval wait times or complicated procedures. Deposit limits, loss limits, break periods, and self-exclusion are all available for you to manage at any time.

We also understand that there are times when someone may need more than just account settings. That is why we always provide access to professional support resources for anyone who needs them — unconditionally and without judgment.

Remember: Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income or a way to solve financial problems. Always set limits before playing and stick to them with discipline.

The 589 platform is built with member protection features integrated directly into the system. Every new account automatically has access to all these responsible gaming tools — you simply need to activate and use them according to your own needs.

Control Tools We Provide for You

Six built-in protection features on the 589 platform — activate them directly from your account settings

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum deposit amount you allow yourself within a day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, the 589 system automatically blocks additional deposits until the limit period expires. Limits can be reduced immediately, but an increase requires a waiting period.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb within a set period. Once the loss limit is reached, your account will be automatically blocked from continuing play until the limit expires. This is one of the most effective tools for managing gaming expenditure.

Session Time Limit

Control how long you play each day or week by setting a session time limit. When the time limit is reached, the system will notify you and can be configured to automatically block access. This feature helps prevent unintentionally long gaming sessions.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gaming, activate a Break Period for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make any deposits. This feature is ideal when you want to reflect on your gaming habits without a long-term commitment.

Self-Exclusion

For more serious protection, self-exclusion allows you to block your account for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During this period, any attempt to create a new account will be detected and blocked. Self-exclusion requests are processed with the highest priority by our team.

Reality Notifications & Time Reminders

Enable periodic alerts that notify you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These notifications are sent in real time during your session as a gentle reminder to reassess your decisions — whether to continue or stop playing.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognise early warning signs before they become a more serious problem. Being honest with yourself is the first step.

Borrowing Money to Gamble

Borrowing from family, friends, or using a credit card solely to fund gaming is a serious red flag.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play after a loss in hopes of recovering lost money — this behaviour often leads to even greater losses.

Hiding Gambling Habits

Lying to family members or friends about how much time and money you spend on gambling.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Work, family, studies, or daily commitments are neglected in favour of time spent gambling online.

Feeling Restless When Not Playing

Feeling uncomfortable, irritable, or anxious when unable to access the platform — these are signs of addiction that should not be ignored.

Using Essential Funds to Gamble

Using money meant for bills, food, rent, or basic family needs to fund online gaming activity.

If you recognise two or more of the above signs in yourself: Don't delay — use the self-exclusion feature in your 589 account or contact our support team immediately. Acknowledging a problem is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Check Yourself Now

Answer the following questions honestly. This is not a formal test, but a guide to help you assess your own relationship with gambling.

Have you ever played longer or spent more than you planned?

Do you play to escape problems, stress, or feelings of sadness?

Have your loved ones ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.

3
Choose the Control Tools You Need

You will see a list of all available control tools — deposit limits, loss limits, time limits, break periods, and self-exclusion.

4

Principles of Responsible Play

Practical guidance to keep your gaming experience positive and in control

01
Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide the maximum amount you are willing to spend before starting a gaming session. Think of it as an entertainment cost — just like a movie ticket or a dinner out — not an investment that will yield returns.

02
Don't Chase Losses

Once you have reached your set limit, stop playing regardless of the circumstances. Attempting to recover losses in the same session often leads to greater losses.

03
Take Regular Breaks

Avoid excessively long gaming sessions in a row. Take a break every 30–60 minutes to move around, drink water, and reassess whether you are still playing for entertainment or for other reasons.

04
Playing in a Positive State of Mind

Avoid playing when you feel stressed, sad, angry, or under the influence of alcohol. An unstable emotional state can impair your judgment and lead to poor decisions.

05
Understand How Games Work

Casino and slot games operate using certified Random Number Generators (RNG). No strategy can guarantee wins. Every spin is independent and unaffected by previous outcomes.

06
Balance with Other Activities

Keep online gaming as just a small part of your leisure activities. Make time for family, hobbies, exercise, and social activities to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

07
Use Only Disposable Funds

Only use money you can genuinely afford to lose — surplus funds after all essential needs, bills, and savings have been covered. Never use money intended for family needs or debt repayment.

08
Talk to a Loved One

Being open with a family member or trusted friend about your gaming habits is an important step. They can help you maintain accountability and provide moral support when needed.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by 589 members on responsible gaming

Responsible gaming refers to an approach that ensures gambling remains a safe and controlled form of entertainment, without negatively impacting a person's life, finances, or relationships. It matters because without proper boundaries, gambling can develop into an addiction that affects the well-being of individuals and their families. At 589, we provide tools and guidance to help every member play within healthy limits.

You can activate a deposit limit by logging in to your 589 account, going to the "Account Settings" section, and selecting "Responsible Gaming". From there, choose "Deposit Limit" and set an amount for your daily, weekly, or monthly limit based on your means. A limit lower than your current limit takes effect immediately. If you need assistance, our Live Chat support team is available 24 hours a day.

A Cool-Off Period is a temporary suspension lasting from 24 hours to one month — ideal for members who want to take a short break and reassess their gaming habits. Once the period ends, account access is restored automatically. Self-Exclusion, on the other hand, is a more serious and lasting measure for a longer duration — from 6 months to permanent — where the account is fully blocked and re-registration attempts are also prevented. Self-Exclusion is suited for those who feel gaming has become a serious problem.

No. Self-exclusion is designed to be binding and cannot be reversed before the set period ends. This is an intentional safety measure to ensure the tool is truly effective as a safeguard. Once the exclusion period expires, you will receive a notification and be given an additional reflection period before full access is restored — provided you actively confirm that you wish to continue.

In Malaysia, you can access professional help through several channels — including Talian Kasih 15999, which operates 24 hours a day for crisis counselling, Government Clinics or Hospitals with psychiatric and addiction counselling units, and NGOs focused on addiction recovery. The 589 support team can also refer you to appropriate resources if you reach out to us via Live Chat.

Absolutely not. The 589 platform is strictly limited to individuals aged 18 and above. Our identity verification (KYC) process requires valid identification documents, and every account is reviewed to ensure compliance with this age requirement. If you suspect a minor has accessed the platform, please contact our support team immediately so appropriate action can be taken without delay.
