Responsible Gambling for Singapore Players

Last updated: April 2026

Gambling should always be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. If you are gambling on Maxim88 or any online platform from Singapore, this page collects the help and tools available to you in 2026.

Recognising the warning signs

The earlier you spot a problem with your gambling, the easier it is to address. Be honest with yourself if you notice any of these signs:

• You are spending more time or money on gambling than you intended.
• You are chasing losses — depositing more after a losing session to "win it back".
• You are hiding your gambling activity from family or friends.
• You are borrowing money, using credit cards, or skipping bills to fund gambling.
• You feel anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling.
• Gambling is interfering with work, study, sleep, or relationships.
• You have tried to stop or cut down and could not.

If two or more of these apply to you, please call NCPG (1800-6-668-668) for confidential support. There is no judgment, and the call will not be reported anywhere.

Setting limits before you play

The simplest way to keep gambling safe is to decide your limits before you log in, not while playing. Most online platforms including Maxim88 let you set:

• Deposit limits — daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit.
• Loss limits — cap on how much you can lose in a defined period.
• Wager limits — cap on total stakes per session or per day.
• Session time limits — automatic logout after a set duration.
• Reality checks — periodic pop-ups telling you how long you have been playing.

To set these on Maxim88, log in and visit your Account Settings › Responsible Gambling section. If the option is not visible, contact Maxim88 live chat and ask them to enable limits on your account. Limits cannot be removed instantly — there is usually a 24- or 48-hour cool-down before reductions take effect, so you cannot disable them in the heat of the moment.

Self-exclusion: taking a break or stopping

If limits are not enough, self-exclusion is the next step. You ask the operator to block your account for a fixed period. During that period, you cannot log in, deposit, or play.

Maxim88 self-exclusion options typically include:

• Cool-off / Take a break — short suspension from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Account auto-reactivates.
• Self-exclusion — longer suspension from 6 months up to 5 years. Reactivation requires a written request and a cool-down period.
• Permanent self-exclusion — irreversible account closure.

To self-exclude on Maxim88, message live chat with "I want to self-exclude" and your preferred duration. The operator must process this within 24 hours under standard responsible gambling protocols.

Singapore-wide self-exclusion

Singapore has a national self-exclusion programme administered by the NCPG. You can apply to be excluded from all casinos and jackpot machine rooms operated in Singapore at the same time, separately from any single online operator. Apply online at ncpg.org.sg or call 1800-6-668-668 for assistance.

Protecting minors

You must be at least 21 years old to gamble online from Singapore. Online platforms verify age during registration, but no verification is perfect. If you have minors in your household, consider:

• Using parental control software (e.g., Net Nanny, Qustodio) to block gambling websites on home devices.
• Keeping your gambling account login details private.
• Not leaving your account logged in on shared devices.
• Enabling two-factor authentication on your Maxim88 account.

International support resources

If Singapore-specific resources do not fit your situation, these international organisations also help:

• GamCare — UK-based but accepts international callers and chat.
• BeGambleAware — free advice and treatment locator.
• Gambling Therapy — multilingual chat and forum.
• Gamblers Anonymous — peer support meetings (online and in-person).
