Responsible Gaming on the 1520 Platform
1520 believes gaming should be a source of entertainment, not a burden. We are committed to supporting Malaysian users in playing mindfully, responsibly, and healthily.
Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour
It is important to recognise early warning signs before gaming habits develop into a problem. Here are some indicators to watch for in yourself or someone you care about:
- Borrowing money to fund gaming or cover losses.
- Spending money set aside for daily essentials such as bills, rent, or food.
- Feeling distressed over losses and wanting to keep playing to "break even".
- Hiding gaming activity or the amount of money spent.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or uneasy when unable to play.
- Neglecting family, work, or social responsibilities because of gaming.
- Unable to stop despite repeatedly intending to do so.
- Using gaming as an escape from problems or negative feelings.
If you notice any of these signs, take immediate steps to reduce or stop your gaming activity and consider seeking professional help.
How to Set Limits and Manage Your Gaming Experience
The most effective way to stay in control is to set your limits before starting a gaming session. The 1520 platform fully supports this approach.
Daily and Monthly Budget Limits
Decide in advance how much money (in MYR) you are comfortable spending on entertainment per session, per day, or per month. Treat this amount as the cost of entertainment — just like going to the cinema or dining out. Once that limit is reached, end the session immediately without topping up.
Session Time Limits
Set dedicated time slots for gaming and stick to them. Avoid playing for hours on end without a break. Set a timer on your phone or ask a family member to remind you when your allocated time is up.
Break & Cooling-Off Facility
If you feel you need to step away from gaming for a period of time, you can contact the 1520 support team at [email protected] to arrange a temporary account break. This allows you to distance yourself from the platform for a set period without permanently closing your account.
Self-Exclusion
For users who feel they need a more decisive step, the self-exclusion option allows you to restrict access to your account for an extended period or permanently. This is a measure we fully support. Contact our support team to process your self-exclusion request.
Life Balance and When to Seek Help
Healthy gaming is gaming that does not interfere with your daily life, your relationships with family and friends, or your financial well-being. 1520 encourages all users to maintain a healthy balance between gaming and the other, more important aspects of life.
Make time for other activities that bring you joy and fulfilment — whether it's spending time with family, playing sports, pursuing hobbies, or simply unwinding in other ways. Gaming is just one of many entertainment options available to you.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, seeking professional help is a smart and courageous step. In Malaysia, there are several resources that can help:
- Talian Kasih 15999 — A welfare and family counselling helpline operated by the Malaysian Department of Social Welfare, available around the clock.
- Nearest government clinic or hospital — Psychiatric and counselling services are available at public hospitals throughout Malaysia.
- Licensed private counsellors — For more personalised counselling sessions that fit your schedule.
The 1520 support team is also on hand to help you set account limits or process self-exclusion requests. Contact us at [email protected].
