Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At BK8, we believe that gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or playing sports. It should never be considered as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favor of the house, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, please seek help immediately.
Age Verification
In Malaysia, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, please do not create an account or attempt to gamble.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you experience any of the following, you may be developing a gambling problem:
- Constantly thinking about gambling or planning your next gambling session
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Attempting to cut back or control your gambling but being unable to do so
- Gambling to escape problems, anxiety, or negative emotions
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you've lost
- Hiding the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or healthcare providers
- Lying about time or money spent on gambling
- Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, education, or career opportunities due to gambling
- Relying on others to bail you out financially due to gambling losses
- Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself, please reach out for help as soon as possible.
