u9 today Pledge

We believe online gaming should be entertainment, not a burden. That is why we invest in an integrated user protection system — not just because it is required, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every user on our platform.


Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at u9 today

From deposit controls to professional support, we provide everything you need to play with peace of mind and responsibility.

Deposit Limit Can Be Adjusted

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is set, our system automatically enforces it without you having to keep track yourself.

Playing Time Limit Controls

Set a time limit for your gaming sessions. The platform will send you an alert when you are approaching your set time limit, helping you stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Taking a Break from Gaming

Need a break? Activate the "Playing Break" feature to temporarily block access to your account — available from 24 hours up to 30 days — without having to close your account entirely.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop for a longer period, the self-exclusion option lets you block account access from 3 months up to permanently. This decision is processed immediately.

Loss Limit Can Be Set

In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss limit. Once the limit is reached, the platform automatically blocks your betting activity for the selected period.

Support & Professional Resources

Our support team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and provide initial guidance. We can also connect you with relevant counsellors and support organisations.


What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to an approach that places player well-being as the top priority in every aspect of online gambling activity. At u9 today, we believe that gaming should remain a form of entertainment — something that brings enjoyment and refreshing moments of excitement — not a source of stress, debt, or problems in daily life.

This concept covers several core principles: playing within your financial means, limiting the time allocated for gaming, understanding that game outcomes are random and unpredictable, and knowing when it is the right time to stop and take a break.

As a trusted platform in Malaysia, u9 today takes a proactive approach — we don't wait for users to encounter problems before acting. Instead, we provide tools, information, and support from day one of joining our platform, so your gaming experience always stays on the right track.

Core Principles of Responsible Gaming: Gaming is entertainment, not an investment. Never use money you cannot afford to lose. Every game outcome is random — no strategy can guarantee a win.

Play for Fun, Not Escape

Many users play slots, Live Casino, or Sports Betting as a way to unwind and relax after a long day. This is a healthy and perfectly reasonable intention. Problems begin when gaming shifts from entertainment to a way of coping with emotional stress, financial difficulties, or loneliness.

Ask yourself before playing: Am I playing for fun, or to forget something? The answers to these simple questions can serve as a useful benchmark for you to evaluate your relationship with gaming from time to time.

At u9 today, we offer a wide range of games designed to deliver a fun and exciting experience. However, we always remind you that all games carry a house edge, meaning the house always holds a statistical advantage in the long run. Therefore, treat the money you use to play as an entertainment cost, not an investment expected to return a profit.

Healthy Gaming Tips: Set a dedicated monthly entertainment budget for online gaming. When the budget runs out, stop — regardless of whether you are on a winning or losing streak. This discipline is the foundation of a healthy and sustainable gaming experience.

Also remember that chasing losses is one of the most dangerous habits in gambling. The urge to "win back" money that has been lost often drives players to make irrational decisions and exceed their financial limits. If you find yourself in this situation, take a break immediately and step away from the platform for a while.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely appears overnight. It typically develops gradually, and often the player themselves doesn't realise they've crossed into dangerous territory. Here are warning signs that should be taken seriously:

  • Spending increasingly longer sessions playing than originally planned, on a consistent basis.
  • Increasing wagering amounts to achieve the same level of excitement as before.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop playing.
  • Playing to escape from problems, worries, or feelings of stress.
  • Lying to loved ones about the time and money spent on playing.
  • Using money set aside for other purposes for bills, food, or other necessities in order to gamble.
  • Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions for gambling purposes.
  • Unable to stop or cut back gambling activity despite having resolved to do so.
  • Chasing losses in hopes of recovering money that has been lost.
Important: If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, this is a signal to be taken seriously. Identifying a problem early is the most important first step toward recovery. Contact our support team or refer to the professional help organisations listed at the bottom of this page.

Self-Control Tools at u9 today

U9 today provides an integrated and easy-to-use set of self-control tools. All tools are accessible directly through your account settings, with no need to contact customer support. Here is a detailed explanation of each available tool:

💰
Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit into your account within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Limit reductions take effect immediately; limit increases require a 7-day waiting period.

📉
Loss Limit

Limit the amount of losses permitted within a set period. Once the limit is reached, your account is blocked from placing new bets until the limit period expires.

⏱️
Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. The platform will alert you 10 minutes before the time limit is reached and automatically end the session when time is up.

🔕
Playing Break

Activate a break from 24 hours up to 30 days. During the break period, your account cannot be used for playing, but withdrawal of your remaining balance is still permitted.

🚪
Self-Exclusion

Option to block your account permanently or for a period of 3, 6, or 12 months. Once activated, this decision cannot be reversed until the selected period has ended.

📊
Activity History

View your complete history of transactions, bets, and game results. This transparent data helps you make an accurate assessment of your playing patterns.

How to access the control tools: Log in to your u9 today account → Click the profile icon → Select "Account Settings" → Choose the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All self-control tools are available there in an easy-to-understand interface.

Minor User Protection

U9 today sets a minimum age requirement of 18 years for all users without exception. This is not merely a legal requirement — it is our moral responsibility to society. Online gambling platforms are not suitable for individuals who are still developing emotionally and financially.

Steps we take to ensure the protection of underage users:

  • Mandatory age verification during the account registration process — we verify date of birth and request identification documents during the KYC process.
  • Ongoing KYC verification which is completed before any first withdrawal is processed.
  • Behavioural detection system that identifies playing patterns inconsistent with an adult user profile.
  • Immediate account closure if there is strong evidence or reasonable suspicion that the account holder is underage.

To parents and guardians: if you are concerned that your child may be accessing online gambling platforms, we recommend using parental control software on shared devices. Also ensure that your passwords and financial account details are stored securely and cannot be accessed by your children.

How to Get Help

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, there are support resources available. The most important first step is acknowledging that a problem exists and being willing to accept help.

You can start by contacting the u9 today support team at [email protected] and seek guidance on available self-exclusion options or control limits. Our team is trained to handle such conversations with full empathy and confidentiality.

Additionally, the following organisations and bodies provide professional support for gambling problems in Malaysia and internationally:

Professional Help Resources:
Talian Kasih (15999) — A dedicated welfare helpline operated by the Malaysia Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development.
Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia — A peer support group for those struggling with gambling problems.
Government Hospital / Health Clinic — Free counselling services available nationwide.

You don't have to go through this alone. Many people have successfully recovered with the right help and support from loved ones. The best time to seek help is now.

Advice for Family and Loved Ones

Problem gambling doesn't only affect the individual involved — it also impacts their family, close friends, and loved ones. If you suspect someone you care about is struggling with a gambling problem, here are some practical tips that can help:

  • Do not react with anger. A compassionate, non-judgmental approach is more effective in encouraging someone to seek help.
  • Express your concerns clearly using "I" statements — for example, "I'm concerned because..." rather than "You always..."
  • Do not pay off their gambling debts as this indirectly enables the behaviour to continue without consequence.
  • Find information about gambling problems so you can better understand what your loved one is going through.
  • Get support for yourself too — caring for someone with a gambling problem can be emotionally exhausting.
  • Join a support group such as Gam-Anon, which is specifically for family members and friends of individuals with gambling problems.
Remember: Recovery is a journey, not a destination. There will be difficult moments and setbacks, but with the right support and strong determination, overcoming a gambling problem is something that is truly achievable.

Is Your Way of Playing Still Healthy?

Do you feel the need to increase your wagering amount to get the same level of excitement?
6
Have you ever tried to stop playing but failed to do so despite your resolve?
7
Have your loved ones ever expressed concern about your playing habits?

If you answered "Yes" to two or more of the questions above, we encourage you to contact our support team or refer to a professional help organisation. Remember, seeking help early is the wisest action.


Frequently Asked Questions on Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by u9 today users regarding responsible gaming and self-control tools.

Log in to your u9 today account, then navigate to Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" tab. There, you will find options to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. Enter the amount you are comfortable with and confirm. The new limit takes effect immediately. Please note that limit reductions are processed instantly, while limit increases require a 7-day waiting period as an additional protective measure.

No — self-exclusion is designed to be irreversible before the set period ends. This is an intentional protective feature. When you activate self-exclusion, our system ensures it remains fully in force until the period expires, regardless of any cancellation requests made before then. After the period ends, you will need to contact our support team to reactivate your account, and this process includes an additional 24-hour reflection period.

A Playing Break is a short-term option (24 hours to 30 days) that lets you pause without closing your account entirely. During the break, you can still withdraw your account balance. Self-Exclusion is a more serious, long-term measure (3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or permanent) that fully blocks account access and cannot be reversed before the period ends. Choose a Playing Break if you only need a brief pause; choose Self-Exclusion if you need stronger, more structured support.

Yes, absolutely. All communications related to responsible gaming, limit control requests, and self-exclusion are handled with the highest level of confidentiality. This information is only accessible to support staff directly responsible for your case and will not be shared with any third party unless required by law. We take the privacy and dignity of every user very seriously.

Sharing an account with another individual, including family members, is a violation of u9 today's Terms and Conditions. Each user must have their own individual account in their own name. This is not only to comply with KYC and legal requirements, but also to ensure that self-control tools function effectively for each individual separately. If you are concerned about someone else's usage in your household, please contact our support team for further guidance.

When you activate permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed immediately and you will not be able to register again using the same information. Any balance in your account will be processed for withdrawal following standard procedures within 3–5 business days. We will also remove or deactivate any marketing communications associated with your account. If you need support during this process, our team is ready to assist.
