Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While most people gamble responsibly, for some it can become problematic. ecoshare.my is committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling practices. Please read the following information carefully.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old to gamble online. In Malaysia, the legal age for casino gambling is 21. It is illegal for anyone under the legal age to participate in gambling activities. We strongly encourage operators to verify the age and identity of all players. If you are under the legal age for your jurisdiction, please do not gamble.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may indicate a need for help:

• Chasing losses – returning to try to win back money you have lost.
• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose, such as rent, bills, or savings.
• Hiding your gambling activity from family or friends.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Feeling anxious, guilty, or depressed about your gambling.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Being unable to stop or cut down, despite repeated attempts.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. We encourage you to use these features:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
• Reality Checks: Receive reminders of how long you have been playing.
• Time-Outs: Take a short break from gambling for a set number of hours or days.
• Self-Exclusion: Block yourself from accessing your account for a longer period (e.g., 6 months, 1 year, or permanently).
