245's Commitment to Healthy Gaming
245 believes every user deserves to enjoy online entertainment in a safe, responsible, and controlled manner. Our platform is designed as an entertainment space, not a source of income or a solution to financial problems.
We are committed to providing a transparent gaming environment and supporting users in always playing within the limits they set for themselves. It is important for every 245 user to understand that gaming carries financial risk, and every gaming decision is the user's own responsibility.
As part of this commitment, 245 provides information, guidance, and self-control tools that any user can access at any time. We encourage every user to read this guide and take proactive steps for their own well-being.
Signs of Risky Gambling Behaviour
Recognising early warning signs is the most important first step in protecting your mental and financial well-being. Here are some indicators to watch out for:
- Borrowing money to play or to pay off gaming debts.
- Feeling stressed when you don't have money to play.
- Using savings or funds set aside for daily necessities to gamble.
- Spending far more time playing than originally planned.
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming.
- Chasing losses by continuing to play to win back money already lost.
- Feeling anxious, restless, or uneasy when not playing.
- Hiding gaming activity from family members or people close to you.
- Using gaming as an escape from stress or personal problems.
- Take a moment to pause and review your gambling patterns.
- Set your limits and stick to them.
- Contact the 245 support team or seek professional help without any shame.
Setting Realistic Time and Budget Limits
One of the most effective ways to enjoy gaming responsibly is to set clear limits before you start playing — not after. Limits set in advance are much easier to stick to than decisions made in the middle of a session.
Budget limit: Decide on the maximum amount in MYR (RM) you are comfortable spending on entertainment per day, week, or month. Think of it as the cost of entertainment — just like a movie ticket or a dinner out. Never exceed this limit, even if you feel like you are "almost winning".
Time limit: Set a specific time limit for your gaming sessions. Use a timer or ask a family member to help you keep to it. Taking adequate breaks between sessions helps you make more rational decisions.
Loss limit: Decide on the maximum amount you can afford to lose in a single session. Once that limit is reached, stop playing — no exceptions, no matter the circumstances.
Self-Control Tools on the Platform
245 supports users who want to actively manage their gaming habits. If you feel you need a break or additional limits, you can contact our support team for assistance with the following self-control options:
Set a daily or weekly maximum deposit amount in RM to keep your spending in check.
Request a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks to give yourself a break from gambling activity.
If needed, you can apply for a full self-exclusion from the platform for an extended period to help restore balance.
To activate any of the self-exclusion options above, please contact our support team at [email protected]. Your request will be processed promptly and in strict confidence.
Minor Protection
The 245 platform is strictly limited to users aged 18 and above. We take seriously our responsibility to ensure that children and teenagers do not have access to this platform.
Every new account registration requires confirmation that the user has reached the required age. 245 reserves the right to request age verification documents at any time and will close the account of any user found to be under 18 years of age.
- Make sure your device is protected with a password that your children do not know.
- Log out of your 245 account after every session.
- Use the parental control software available on your device.
- Have open conversations with your children about the risks of online gambling.
Life Balance & When to Seek Help
Healthy gaming means gaming that does not interfere with other areas of your life. Relationships with family, work performance, physical and mental health, and financial responsibilities — all of these should always take priority over any leisure activity.
If you find that gaming is starting to negatively affect any of the above, that is a sign you need to take steps to restore balance in your life. This is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of maturity and self-awareness.
- Make gaming one of many leisure activities, not your only one.
- Set aside enough time for other activities such as sports, hobbies, and socialising.
- Do not play when you are feeling stressed, sad, or angry.
- Talk to someone you trust if you feel gambling is starting to become a problem.
- Remember that game outcomes are random — no strategy can guarantee a win.
If you or someone you know needs help with gambling addiction, please reach out to a mental health professional or a registered counselling service in Malaysia. The 245 support team is also available at [email protected] for any account-related queries or gambling control assistance. For more information on platform policies, please refer to Terms & Conditions and FAQ us.
