1. Introduction to Responsible Gambling
Parimatch Malaysia is firmly committed to the principles of safe and responsible gambling. We believe that gambling should solely be a form of entertainment, not a source of financial or emotional stress. Therefore, we provide a range of tools, guides, and support systems to help players maintain full control over their gambling habits.
Whether you’re a new user or an experienced player, our goal is to ensure all customers operate in a healthy and safe environment. We are dedicated to protecting individuals vulnerable to risks and promoting awareness of the potential negative impacts of excessive gambling.
2. Core Principles of Responsible Gambling
We advocate the following principles as the foundation for responsible gambling:
- Gambling should be treated as a leisure activity, not a means to generate regular income.
- Players should gamble within their financial means and avoid risking money needed for daily necessities.
- Every player should set time and money limits for gambling before starting to play.
- Players should avoid using gambling as a way to escape personal or emotional problems.
Adhering to these principles fosters a healthy gambling experience and prevents long-term negative consequences.
3. Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop silently and progressively. It’s crucial to recognize the following early warning signs:
- Difficulty controlling the time and money spent on gambling.
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to stop gambling.
- Lying to family or friends about gambling habits.
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to continue gambling.
- Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
If you identify one or more of these signs in yourself or someone close to you, it’s important to act immediately and seek professional help.
4. Self-Control Tools for Players
Parimatch Malaysia provides a variety of self-control tools designed to help players maintain balance and avoid compulsive gambling habits. Key features include:
- Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Deposit Limits – Players can set limits on the amount they can deposit into their accounts over specific periods.
- Betting Limits – Players can cap the maximum amount they can use for betting.
- Login Time Limits – The system allows players to restrict the amount of time they can stay logged in daily.
- Temporary Self-Exclusion – Players can voluntarily suspend their accounts for a set period.

All self-control requests are implemented promptly, and changes can only be made after a designated cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions during emotionally unstable moments.
5. Age Verification and Protection Measures for Minors
Parimatch Malaysia strictly prohibits access to the platform by individuals under 18 years of age. To ensure compliance, we employ various identity verification methods during registration and fund withdrawals:
- Verification using official identification cards or other valid documents.
- Checks on addresses and supporting financial documents.
- Periodic account audits to identify any violations of the minimum age policy.
Additionally, we encourage parents or guardians to install parental control software on devices used by children and maintain open communication about the dangers of gambling. Gambling is not an activity for minors, and we are committed to preventing unauthorized access.

7. Shared Responsibility for a Safe Environment
At Parimatch Malaysia, we believe that safe gambling can only be achieved through collaboration between players, service providers, and the broader community. We strive to create a transparent and proactive system to address the risks of harmful gambling. However, players must also take an active role in recognizing their limits and seeking help when needed.
By utilizing all available control tools, paying attention to warning signs, and addressing concerns promptly, we can ensure that gambling remains a positive form of entertainment without harming individuals or their families.
8. Education and Risk Awareness
Parimatch Malaysia prioritizes user education as a key to safe gambling. We provide articles, video guides, and self-assessment quizzes to help users understand their behavior and the psychological and financial impacts of excessive gambling. Education aims not only to warn about risks but also to empower players with knowledge to make better decisions.
We believe that access to high-quality information can prevent addiction before it starts. That’s why we offer educational content in multiple languages, tailored to the needs of the Malaysian community, ensuring a relevant and accessible approach for diverse audiences.
