Entertainment, Not Escape

Online wagering and casino games are entertainment activities that many Malaysians can enjoy positively — much like watching films, playing video games, or any other hobby that involves spending money. Most bigwim players play within reasonable limits, enjoy the experience, and manage their spending like any other form of entertainment.

However, bigwim also recognises that for a small number of individuals, gambling can become something harder to control. This is not a sign of weak character — it is a real health issue that requires recognition and appropriate support. That is why bigwim continually invests in a comprehensive responsible gambling programme that is accessible to all members.

Our motto is simple: "Play for fun, not to escape your problems." Every tool we provide, every message we display, and every policy we put in place is designed to ensure you always play in a healthy, mindful, and enjoyable way.

Always remember: Only spend what you can afford to lose. Treat money used for betting as an entertainment cost, not an investment or source of income.

Bigwim does not want you to play when you are stressed, sad, angry, or in financial crisis. If you feel that way, just close the app and do something else first. Our platform will always be here when you are ready and in a better state of mind.

We also understand that recognising a problem within yourself is not always easy. Sometimes the people around us — family members or friends — notice behavioural changes before we do ourselves. The section below is designed to help you and your loved ones identify early warning signs so that help can be sought before the problem becomes more serious.

Important to remember: Responsible gambling does not mean you cannot win big or enjoy the games. It means doing so in a way that does not affect your finances, relationships, or mental health.

10 Tips for Playing Responsibly
  • Set a budget before playing and stick to it.
  • Set a play time limit and take regular breaks.
  • Do not try to chase losses with bigger bets.
  • Do not play when you are angry, sad, or stressed.
  • Avoid playing under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Use only disposable money, not funds for daily essentials.
  • Stop playing once you have reached your win limit.
  • Balance your gaming activity with other hobbies and social activities.
  • Do not borrow money for the purpose of betting.
  • Seek help immediately if you start losing control.

Bigwim provides self-control tools that you can activate directly in your account settings — free of charge and instantly.

Set the maximum deposit amount you allow within a 24-hour or 7-day period. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically decline further deposits until the new limit period begins.

Daily / Weekly Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you can bear within a given period. Once the limit is reached, your account will be temporarily blocked from continuing to wager for the set duration.

Recognise the Warning Signs

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight — it develops gradually. Recognising these signs early can help you or a loved one get help in time.

Spending More Than Intended

You frequently exceed your set budget and find yourself looking for extra money to keep playing even after running out.

Chasing Losses

After a loss, you feel compelled to play again with bigger bets to "recover" what you lost — even knowing this rarely works.

Obsessing Over Gambling

You often think about ways to get money to play, plan your next gaming session, or dwell on past gambling even while doing other things.

Neglecting Responsibilities and Relationships

Gambling begins to interfere with time spent with family, work, studies, or other hobbies you previously enjoyed.

Hiding Gambling Activity

You hide how much time and money you spend gambling, or lie to loved ones about it.

Borrowing Money to Gamble

You borrow money from family, friends, or financial institutions, or use a credit card to fund your gambling activity.

Test Yourself

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, it may be a sign that you need further help.

1. Have you ever felt the need to gamble with increasingly larger amounts of money to get the same thrill?
2. Have you ever felt restless or irritable when trying to cut back or stop gambling?
3. Have you ever tried to stop gambling more than once but failed?
4. Have you ever gambled as a way to escape problems or negative feelings?
5. Have you ever lied to family members or friends about how much you gamble?
6. Has gambling ever threatened an important relationship, job, educational opportunity, or career?
7. Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

If you answered "Yes" to 3 or more of the above questions, we encourage you to contact the bigwim support team or seek professional help. This is a brave and wise step.

How to Get Help

Seeking help is not a sign of weakness — it is a sign of courage and wisdom. Here are steps you can take today:

1
Be Honest with Yourself

The first and hardest step — acknowledging that you may need help. There is no shame in admitting this. Many people have walked the same path and successfully overcome their problems.

2
Activate Self-Control Tools at bigwim

Log in to your bigwim account and activate deposit limits, loss limits, or self-exclusion. This is an immediate action you can take in under 5 minutes.

3
Contact bigwim Support

The bigwim support team is available 24/7 to help you activate self-control tools, process account suspensions, or simply listen and provide useful information.

4
Talk to Someone You Trust

Talk to a family member or close friend about what you are going through. Support from loved ones is one of the most important factors in the recovery process.

5
Get Professional Help

Counsellors and local support groups can help in a more structured way. The Malaysia Ministry of Health provides counselling services accessible through public health clinics nationwide.
