Sohotogel's Six Core Principles

These are the foundations that shape Sohotogel's approach to healthy and responsible gaming for every player.

Strict Age Verification

Sohotogel enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 through a rigorous KYC process. No account can be activated without verification of a valid identity document.

Adjustable Deposit Limit

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. These limits are designed to help you stay in control of your own spending.

Temporary Gaming Break

Need a break? Use the "Break" feature to temporarily suspend access to games — from 24 hours to several weeks — without closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need to stop for a longer period, Sohotogel offers self-exclusion options of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently, depending on your needs.

Controllable Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with for any given period. Our system will automatically block gaming activity once that limit is reached.

Play Time Monitoring

Sohotogel automatically displays your total play time and sends reminders when your gaming session exceeds the duration you have set.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a set of practices, values and measures designed to ensure that gambling or games of chance remain a safe, controlled source of entertainment — rather than something that causes harm to individuals or their families.

At Sohotogel, we take this issue seriously — not merely as a legal obligation, but as a core value we have held since the platform was founded. We believe every player deserves a gaming experience that is enjoyable, fair, and does not compromise their well-being.

In short, responsible gaming means playing with money you can afford to lose, setting clear limits before starting a session, and stopping when those limits are reached — without trying to "chase losses". This is the key difference between players who enjoy gaming as entertainment and those who begin to experience problems.

Key Facts: Research shows that the vast majority of players who set game limits early on report a more positive playing experience and remain healthy recreational players for longer.

The sohotogel platform is built with self-control features integrated at its core — not added as an afterthought, but as a fundamental part of the system. This means protective tools such as deposit limits, time monitoring and self-exclusion are easily accessible and fully functional, not just words on paper.

Self-Control Tools Available at Sohotogel

Sohotogel provides a range of self-control tools that you can activate directly from your account settings. All tools are free and available at any time:

Control Tools Feature Status
Daily Deposit Limit Limit the amount of money you can deposit each day Active
Weekly Deposit Limit Set an overall deposit cap for 7 days Active
Loss Limit Automatically stop play when your loss limit is reached Active
Session Time Limit Set how long you can play in a single continuous session Active
Temporary Break Suspend gaming access for 24 hours up to 30 days Active
Self-Exclusion Block your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently Active
When you reduce limits or activate a self-exclusion, the changes take effect immediately. However, to increase limits or cancel a self-exclusion, a 24 to 72-hour review period applies to protect your best interests.

Recognising the Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It is important for every player to recognise the early warning signs of a gambling problem — whether in themselves or in someone they care about. Detecting issues early allows prompt action to be taken before the situation becomes more serious.

Check In With Yourself

You often think about gambling even while doing other things, or plan ways to get more money to gamble.

You need to wager increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement as before.

You have tried to cut back or stop gambling but were unsuccessful, or felt restless and irritable when attempting to do so.

You gamble to escape problems, stress, guilt, anxiety, or depression.

You frequently "chase losses" — continuing to play in hopes of winning back money you have already lost.

You hide your gambling activity from family members, friends, or important people in your life.

You have borrowed money, sold possessions, or neglected bills and financial responsibilities in order to continue gambling.

If you answered yes to three or more of the above, this may be a sign that you need help. Don't wait — contact the Sohotogel support team or seek professional assistance as soon as possible. Acknowledging the problem is the most courageous first step.

Support Resources & Professional Help

Sohotogel believes we should not be the sole source of support for players who may be experiencing difficulties. There are professional organisations in Malaysia that provide dedicated counselling and support services for gambling-related issues:

  • Talian Kasih (15999) — A national helpline providing early counselling and referrals to appropriate services, operating 24 hours a day.
  • National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) — Provides family counselling services, including issues related to gambling addiction affecting the family unit.
  • Malaysian Mental Health Association (MMHA) — A reference resource for accessing professional mental health support, including behavioural addiction issues.
  • Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta — Offers treatment and recovery programmes for various types of addiction, including compulsive gambling.
  • Gamblers Anonymous Malaysia — A peer support group for those struggling with compulsive gambling, following a 12-step approach.
Remember: Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you or someone you know needs support, the most important first step is to talk to someone you trust or reach out to an available support line.

sohotogel's Commitment to Players

As a responsible online gaming platform, sohotogel has taken several concrete steps that reflect our commitment to player well-being:

  • No advertising targeting vulnerable groups: sohotogel does not run marketing campaigns that deliberately target minors, users who have opted for self-exclusion, or those known to be experiencing financial difficulties.
  • Dedicated staff training: All sohotogel customer support staff receive ongoing training to identify signs of problem gambling and respond with empathy and effectiveness.
  • Gameplay pattern monitoring: sohotogel's analytics system proactively monitors gameplay patterns that may indicate at-risk behaviour and reaches out to affected players.
  • Regular independent audits: Sohotogel's responsible gaming practices are regularly audited by independent bodies to ensure compliance with the highest industry standards.
  • Easy self-exclusion facility: sohotogel ensures that the process for activating self-exclusion is as straightforward as possible — no more complex than the account registration process — because we know that ease of access can save lives.

We are also committed to continuously improving our responsible gaming programme in line with the latest developments in healthy gambling research and global industry best practices.

FAQ

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by Sohotogel players regarding responsible gaming.

The minimum age to register and play at Sohotogel is 18 years old. This is an absolute requirement that cannot be waived. All registrants are required to undergo an age verification process via KYC by submitting a valid copy of their identity document. Accounts found to belong to underage individuals will be terminated immediately and any remaining funds will be returned.

For short-term self-exclusion (a temporary break), you must wait until the set period expires before your account can be reactivated. For long-term self-exclusion (6 months or more), there is a review process that includes a cooling-off period of at least 7 days after the cancellation request is received. For permanent self-exclusion, the process is more stringent to fully protect your best interests.

Your account funds are safe during the self-exclusion period. The money will not be lost or used. You can contact the Sohotogel support team to arrange a withdrawal of your account balance even during the exclusion period. The security of your funds is our priority regardless of your account status.

To lower your deposit limit, the change takes effect immediately. To raise it, sohotogel applies a 24 to 72-hour review period as a protective measure, giving you time to reconsider the decision. Requests to increase your limit can be made through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Yes, completely.
