Tips for Effective Time and Budget Limits
One of the most effective ways to keep gaming a form of entertainment—not a harmful habit—is by setting clear limits before you start playing.
Budget Limit (Deposit)
Decide in advance how much money (in MYR) you’re willing to spend on entertainment daily, weekly, or monthly. Treat this amount like an entertainment expense — just like going to the movies or dining out. Never use money meant for essentials such as rent, bills, or food.
Had Masa
Set a clear time limit for each gaming session. Use reminders or a timer on your phone to help you stick to it. Stop when the time is up — even if you're on a winning streak. Remember, gaming should be a small part of your day, not the main event.
Don't Chase Your Losses
One of the most dangerous traps is "chasing losses"—continuing to play in hopes of recovering lost money. This rarely works and often leads to bigger losses. Accept losses as entertainment costs and stop when you reach your limit.
Self-Control Tools Available on d21
We offer several tools to help you stay in control.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits via your account settings. Once set, d21 will block deposits exceeding your chosen limits. Lowering limits applies immediately; raising limits involves a waiting period.
If you feel you need a short break from the platform, you can request a cooling-off period through d21 customer support. During this time, your account will be temporarily blocked and you cannot access games. This option suits those wanting a pause without closing their account permanently.
For those who feel their gaming has become a serious issue, the self-exclusion option allows you to request account suspension for an extended period. Contact the d21 support team to start this process. During self-exclusion, your account will be inaccessible, and you will not receive any promotional communications.
Protecting Youth and Life Balance
Minor Protection
D21 does not permit anyone under 18 years old to use the platform. If you share devices with younger family members, ensure your d21 account is secured with a strong password and never leave the device unattended while logged in. Remind children that this platform is for adults only.
Maintaining a Balanced Lifestyle
Online gaming should be just one of many leisure activities in your life. Make sure you prioritise family, work, health, and other hobbies. If you find gaming starting to replace these important parts of your life, consider taking a break and reassessing your habits.
Get Professional Help When Needed
If you or someone you know is struggling with gaming issues, don’t hesitate to seek help. Talking to trusted family members, counselors, or mental health professionals is a brave and smart step. d21 encourages all users to prioritize mental and physical health above any entertainment.
