WPT Global's Commitment to Responsible Gambling

Six things we actively do to ensure the WPT Global platform is a healthy gaming environment for all players in Malaysia.

Strict Age Verification – 18 and Above

WPT Global enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 years, without exception. Our registration and KYC verification process is designed to detect and prevent access by underage individuals. Accounts confirmed to belong to players under the age of 18 will be closed immediately.

Comprehensive Self-Limit Tools

We provide six self-control tools that members can activate without needing to contact support – deposit limit, loss limit, bet limit, session time limit, break mode, and full self-exclusion. All tools are free and take effect immediately.

Active Gameplay Pattern Monitoring

The WPT Global team proactively monitors gameplay patterns that may indicate signs of problem gambling. When a concerning pattern is detected, we will reach out to the member in question to offer support and information about the self-control tools available.

Dedicated Responsible Gaming Support

WPT Global's support team, specially trained in responsible gambling, is available 24 hours a day and handles every enquiry with full confidentiality and empathy.

Player Education & Awareness

WPT Global provides educational resources on responsible gaming, warning signs of problem gambling, and how to get help. We display awareness messages periodically within the platform to keep players informed of the risks involved.

No Advertising to At-Risk Individuals Policy

WPT Global does not send marketing communications or bonus offers to members who have activated any self-limitation tool, are in break mode, or have applied for self-exclusion. We place player wellbeing above marketing interests.

Self-Exclusion Tools Available at WPT Global

All these tools are accessible directly from your account settings page — free, straightforward, and effective immediately.

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum amount you can deposit each day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, the system will decline any additional deposits until the limit period expires. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately, while increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period.

Loss Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly net loss limit. Once your losses reach the limit you have set, the system will prevent you from placing further bets until that limit period resets. This helps protect your bankroll from uncontrolled losses.

Bet Limit

Set a maximum stake for any single bet you can place. This is especially useful for slots and live casino players who want to keep their bets within a comfortable range and avoid getting carried away by the excitement of the game.

Session Time Limit

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. The WPT Global platform will display a warning as the time limit approaches and automatically log you out once the limit is reached. This helps you avoid unintentionally extended sessions.

Cool-Off Mode

Activate a break period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks whenever you feel the need to step away. While Cool-Off mode is active, you will not be able to log in or place any bets. The cool-off period cannot be shortened once activated.

Self-Exclusion

Choose to fully exclude yourself from the WPT Global platform for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. During the self-exclusion period, your account will be completely closed and you will not receive any marketing communications from WPT Global.

How to Access the Self-Limit Tools

Log in to your WPT Global account → Click the profile icon in the top right corner → Select "Account Settings" → Go to the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All self-limit tools are available there, free of charge and easy to use.

1 What Is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible gaming means engaging in gambling activities – whether slots, Texas Hold'em poker, live blackjack, roulette, Malaysia Super League football betting, or virtual sports – as an enjoyable form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or resolve financial problems.

At WPT Global, we define responsible gaming as a state in which a player: is fully aware of the financial risks involved, plays with money they can afford to lose without affecting their daily living needs, has complete control over the time and money spent gambling, and is able to stop or take a break whenever needed without strong internal pressure.

Statistics show that most gambling problems develop gradually – starting with longer sessions, increasing bet sizes, and the persistent feeling that "the next round is sure to win." Recognising these early warning signs is the key to responsible play.

WPT Global makes this page available as an open resource for all members and prospective members. Whether you play casually once a week or more frequently, this guide is relevant at every level. Responsible gambling is not only for those who "already have a problem" — it is a practice every player should adopt from day one.

2 Core Principles of Safe Play

Before you open a blackjack table or place a bet on a Malaysia Super League match at WPT Global, there are a few core principles worth keeping in mind:

  • Set a budget before you play. Decide how much MYR you are comfortable spending on entertainment in a single session, week, or month — and stick to that limit even when it feels like a win is just around the corner.
  • Treat losses as the cost of entertainment. Just like buying a movie ticket or paying for dinner – money spent on gambling is the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
  • Set a time limit. Never let a gaming session run on without a time limit. Use WPT Global's session time limit tool, or simply set a reminder on your phone.
  • Do not gamble when you are in an unstable emotional state. Work stress, arguments with a partner, financial worries – these are never the right time to gamble. Playing in a negative emotional state frequently leads to poor betting decisions.
  • Don't chase your losses. One of the most dangerous mistakes in gambling is trying to "win back" money already lost by continuing to play. This almost always leads to even greater losses.
  • Do not gamble with borrowed money. Money deposited at WPT Global must come from your own disposable income — not borrowed funds, emergency savings, or money earmarked for bills or family needs.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, stretch, drink some water, and do something else. Don't let gambling become your only source of entertainment or the default way to fill your free time.

3 Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling rarely happens overnight. It typically develops gradually, with early signs that are easy to overlook or rationalise. Watch for the following – in yourself or someone you care about:

Gambling Behaviour Warning Signs

  • Spending more time and money on gambling than originally planned
  • Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement as before
  • Frequently "chasing losses" – playing longer or betting bigger to try to win back money already lost
  • Feeling restless, impatient, or irritable when trying to stop or cut back on gambling
  • Thinking about gambling almost constantly — planning the next session, figuring out how to get money to bet

Financial Warning Signs

  • Borrowing money from family members, friends, or other sources to gamble or pay off gambling debts
  • Using money earmarked for bills, rent, food, or family needs to fund gambling
  • Hiding the amount of money spent on gambling from a partner or family members
  • Selling personal belongings or taking out loans to fund gambling

Relationship & Mental Health Warning Signs

  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gambling
  • Lying to close ones about gambling activity
  • Feeling stressed, guilty, or ashamed after a gambling session but continuing to play anyway
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems, stress, or uncomfortable feelings

If you recognise three or more of the signs above in yourself, it is a strong signal that you may need help. This is not a weakness – many people face this situation. The single most important first step is to acknowledge the problem and seek help. Contact the WPT Global support team immediately or use the self-exclusion tool in your account.

4 Self-Assessment – Questions for Reflection

The questions below are designed to help you honestly assess your relationship with gambling. There are no right or wrong answers – these are purely for your own personal reflection:

Quick Self-Assessment

Read each question carefully and answer honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to use WPT Global's self-limit tools or reach out to our support team for a conversation.

1. Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned?
Yes, frequently Sometimes Never
2. Have you ever gambled to "win back" money you had already lost?
Yes No
3. Have you ever lied to family members or friends about how much time or money you have spent gambling?
Yes No
4. Has gambling ever caused serious financial problems in your life — such as being unable to pay bills or meet daily needs?
Yes No
5. Have you ever felt that you could not stop gambling even when you wanted to?
Yes No
6. Do you use gambling as a way to relieve stress, boredom, or emotional difficulties?
Yes, often Occasionally Never

Remember: Acknowledging a problem is a sign of strength, not weakness. If any of the questions above make you feel uneasy, contact the WPT Global support team at support@wptglobal.run. We are here to help, not to judge.

5 Healthy Bankroll Management Guide

Sound bankroll management is the foundation of responsible gaming. It is not about maximising your chances of winning – it is about ensuring you can enjoy the entertainment without affecting your financial well-being. Here is a quick guide:

Bankroll Management PrinciplesBest Practices for Implementation
Set a monthly gambling budgetDecide on a fixed percentage or amount from your disposable income that can go towards gambling entertainment. This amount should never exceed what you are fully prepared to lose.
Use WPT Global's deposit limit toolEnter your monthly deposit limit directly in your WPT Global account settings so the system automatically helps you enforce your budget.
Keep gambling funds separate from everyday moneyAvoid depositing directly from your main bank account. Use a dedicated e-wallet such as Touch 'n Go or GrabPay that you top up with only your monthly gambling budget.
Record every transactionReview your transaction history on WPT Global regularly. Simply being aware of the actual amount you have spent often helps keep spending habits in check.
Set a session loss limitBefore every session, decide on the maximum amount you are willing to lose and stop when that limit is reached — even when it feels like a win is just within reach.
Do not chase losses in a single sessionAccept losses as a normal part of gambling entertainment. Increasing your bets to chase losses almost always makes things worse.

The minimum deposit at WPT Global is RM 30, allowing you to enjoy a wide range of games on a manageable budget. You do not need to deposit a large amount to experience everything our platform has to offer.

Immediate Steps You Can Take Right Now

Activate Break Mode or Self-Exclusion

Use WPT Global's self-control tools to temporarily or permanently restrict access to the platform while you seek support. This is the most practical first step you can take.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Share what you are going through with a partner, family member, or trusted close friend. Support from loved ones is one of the most important factors in recovering from problem gambling.

Get Professional Support

If you need professional support, speak with your family doctor or a mental health counsellor. Problem gambling is a health issue that can be addressed with the right help, just like any other health concern.

Manage Your Financial Situation

If problem gambling has caused financial strain, consider seeking advice from a qualified financial adviser or a licensed credit counselling agency in Malaysia to help with debt management and financial recovery planning.

Why WPT Global Takes Responsible Gaming Seriously

Some may wonder – why does an online casino platform care so much about gambling limits? Wouldn't more players playing for longer simply mean more revenue for the platform?

The answer is straightforward: we do not believe in a business model that relies on problem gamblers. WPT Global is built for the long term, and to sustain that, we need to be a platform that Malaysian players genuinely trust. That trust cannot be earned if we sacrifice player well-being for short-term profits.

Malaysian society is one that holds family values and social responsibility in high regard. We respect those values. Someone who gambles beyond their means does not only harm themselves – it affects their family, partner, and children. WPT Global does not want to be a platform that contributes to that kind of harm.

That is why we invest in self-exclusion tools that actually work, in a support team trained to handle responsible gambling concerns with genuine empathy rather than scripted responses, and in policies that prohibit us from sending marketing promotions to players who have activated any self-limitation tool. For us, this is a responsibility that cannot be compromised.

As a player at WPT Global, you deserve an experience that is genuinely enjoyable — challenging poker, the thrill of live blackjack, the excitement of Malaysia Super League football betting, or round-the-clock virtual sports that never get old. All of that is yours to enjoy in a healthy, responsible way, within a budget you set yourself and on a schedule you control. That is the WPT Global vision — not a platform that exploits, but one that respects every player as a mature and responsible individual.

And if at any point gambling starts to feel more like a burden than a pleasure – remember that the self-limit tools are right there in your account settings, and the WPT Global support team is available 24 hours a day to listen and help. You do not have to face this alone.

FAQs

The most frequently asked questions from WPT Global members about responsible gambling and self-limitation tools.

View All FAQs

It depends on the type of change. Reducing a limit (for example, lowering your deposit limit from RM 500 to RM 300) takes effect immediately. Increasing or removing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before the change applies — this is an intentional safety feature designed to prevent impulsive decisions. Break mode and self-exclusion cannot be shortened once activated.

Your account balance remains safe during break mode or self-exclusion. You cannot log in or play during that period, but your funds are not lost. Once the break period ends — or when you apply to permanently close your account — you may contact the WPT Global support team to process a withdrawal of your remaining balance. For permanent self-exclusion, the withdrawal process will be handled by our support team.

Yes, absolutely. All communications relating to responsible gaming, problem gambling, or self-limit requests are handled with complete confidentiality by WPT Global's specially trained support team. This information is not shared with any third party and will not negatively affect your account. We approach every case with empathy and without judgement.

No. This is WPT Global's absolute commitment. When you activate a break or self-exclusion, our system automatically removes you from all marketing communications. You will not receive promotional emails, bonus offers, or betting notifications during that period. The only communications you may receive are those related to account security or necessary financial transactions.

This is a difficult situation that calls for a compassionate approach. First, speak with them honestly and without judgement – express your concerns based on concrete observations, not accusations. Second, encourage them to reach out to the WPT Global support team or seek professional help. Third, offer ongoing support – recovery from problem gambling is a journey, not a one-time event. If they are a WPT Global member and you suspect a serious issue, you are welcome to contact us at support@wptglobal.run for further guidance on how to help your loved one.
