SM88's 6 Core Pillars of Responsible Gaming

We believe gaming is entertainment, not an obligation. That's why SM88 operates on 6 core principles to ensure a safe experience for every member.

Budget & Deposit Limits
On SM88, you can set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits at any time. This helps you stay in control of your spending and avoid financial stress.
Session Time Control
You can set a time limit for each gaming session in advance. Once that limit is reached, SM88 will automatically alert you or end the session.
Cooling-Off Period
If you need a break for any reason, you can set a cooling-off period on SM88 ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During this time, no bets can be placed from your account.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gaming is having a negative impact on your life, you can activate self-exclusion on SM88. Options are available to deactivate your account for as little as 3 months or permanently.
Loss Limit
SM88 lets you set a maximum loss limit in advance. Once that limit is reached, gaming will automatically stop so you don't lose more than intended.
Support & Counseling
SM88's dedicated support team is available around the clock. If signs of gaming addiction appear, we'll connect you with professional counseling services.
