400k's Commitment to Safer Gaming
400k views responsible gaming not merely as an obligation — it is a core value of our platform. We want every user to enjoy their entertainment experience without it affecting their personal life, finances, or relationships.
400k offers a range of self-control tools accessible directly through your account settings. We encourage all users to use these proactively — not just when a problem has already developed.
Online gaming should be a source of enjoyment — something you can manage comfortably. If it ever starts to feel like stress or an obligation, that's a sign to take a step back and reassess.
Recognise the Signs of At-Risk Behaviour
Identifying problems early is an important step in maintaining balance. Review the following list honestly — if you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it is time to act.
Early Warning Signs
- Consistently spending more time gaming than planned.
- Thinking about gaming even while doing other things.
- Gaming to escape stress, anxiety, or problems in life.
- Feeling restless or irritable when you are unable to play.
- Hiding gaming habits from family members or friends.
Signs That Need Immediate Attention
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gaming.
- Neglecting work, family, or financial responsibilities due to gaming.
- Continuing to play even when losses exceed your own set limit.
- Chasing losses by increasing bet amounts.
- Feeling guilty or regretful after every session, yet continuing to play anyway.
How to Set Effective Time and Budget Limits
Play Time Limits
Decide how long you plan to play before starting a session and stick to that limit without exception, even when you're winning. Set a reminder or timer on your phone as an extra cue. Avoid playing late at night or when you're emotionally off-balance.
Monthly Budget Limit
Allocate only a small portion of your discretionary income to entertainment — this covers all forms of entertainment, not just online gaming. Money set aside for gaming should be treated as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
- Never play with money set aside for essentials such as rent, bills, or food.
- Once your monthly budget is used up, stop playing until the following month — no exceptions.
- Log every transaction to track your spending patterns over time.
- Use the deposit limit function in your 400k account to enforce this automatically.
Self-Control Tools Available at 400k
400k offers several self-control features you can use at any time through your account settings. We encourage you to take advantage of these tools as part of a healthy gaming routine.
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount in MYR (RM). Once a limit is set, it cannot be raised immediately — a waiting period applies to protect your decisions.
If you feel like you need to step away for a while, you can activate a cooling-off period lasting a few days or weeks. During this time, access to your account will be temporarily blocked to give you space to reflect.
For stronger protection, you can apply for self-exclusion over a longer period. During this time, your account will be fully suspended and no new deposits will be accepted.
To activate any of the self-control tools above, contact the 400k support team via Live Chat or email at [email protected]
Minor Protection
The 400k platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We take this responsibility seriously and have age verification procedures in place during the registration process.
If you believe someone under the age of 18 is accessing this platform, please notify us immediately. Accounts suspected of being owned or used by minors will be suspended at once while an investigation is carried out.
Advice for parents and guardians: If you share a device with children or teenagers at home, we recommend that you:
- Log out of your 400k account after every gaming session.
- Use a strong password and keep it to yourself.
- Use parental control software on shared devices.
- Keep your login details secure and out of sight.
Maintaining Life Balance & Getting Help
Online gaming is a small part of a healthy life — not the main focus. Always balance your gaming time with the things that matter: family time, exercise, work, and social activities.
If gaming is starting to affect your relationships, work performance, or mental health, that's a clear sign you should seek support. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
First Steps You Can Take Right Now
- Talk to someone you trust about your situation.
- Contact the 400k support team to activate self-control tools.
- Seek guidance from a qualified mental health professional or counsellor.
- Look for local support groups in Malaysia that specialise in problem gambling issues.
The 400k team is ready to listen and help you take the right steps. Reach us at [email protected] or via Live Chat within the platform at any time. For general questions about account controls and responsible gaming tools, check out FAQ us.
