3rd Responsible Gaming — Take Care, Enjoy Entertainment
At 3rd, entertainment only works when it stays fun and controlled. This page provides guidance, self-control tools, and support resources for Malaysian users wanting to enjoy the platform responsibly.
Online gaming is entertainment, not a source of income. Please play responsibly and within your means.
3rd’s Commitment to User Wellbeing
The 3rd platform believes that good entertainment starts with user well-being. We designed this platform not only to provide an enjoyable gaming experience but also to empower every Malaysian user to manage how they engage with our services.
Responsible gaming is more than a slogan — it’s at the core of how we operate. We provide self-control tools, risk information, and support channels for users who need help. Our goal is to keep 3rd a healthy, sustainable entertainment platform for all.
We are also committed to ensuring this platform is inaccessible to anyone under 18, and we encourage users to be open with family members about their gaming habits.
- Entertainment should always remain fun and controlled
- Users have the right to set their own limits
- No pressure to keep playing when uncomfortable
- User safety is more important than any other considerations
- Support is available for anyone who needs assistance
Recognizing Risky Behaviour Signs
It’s important to understand the difference between healthy entertainment and problematic gaming patterns. Here are some warning signs to watch for:
- Spending beyond your means to play
- Borrowing money to deposit on the platform
- Ignoring bills or daily needs to play
- Trying to win back losses by placing bigger bets
- Playing longer than planned
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
- Feeling restless or anxious when not playing
- Hiding gaming habits from loved ones
- Playing as an escape from problems or stress
- Feeling guilty or ashamed after playing
- Mood fluctuates based on gaming results
- Unable to stop even when intending to
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or a loved one, please take early action. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Setting Time and Budget Limits
Realistic Budget Limits
Before you start playing, set an amount in Malaysian Ringgit (RM) that you’re comfortable spending on entertainment — and stick to it without exception. Treat this amount like any entertainment expense, such as movie tickets or dining out.
Never gamble with money needed for essentials like rent, bills, or food. 3rd recommends setting monthly deposit limits aligned with your income and never exceeding them under any circumstances.
If you find yourself frequently trying to increase deposit limits, it’s a signal to pause and reassess your gaming habits.
Healthy Time Limits
Time is a valuable resource. Set clear time limits for each gaming session—for example, no more than one hour at a time—and use a clock or phone alerts to remind yourself.
Avoid playing late at night or when tired, as decisions made then are often unwise. If your gaming sessions are getting longer over time, take proactive steps to cut back.
Make sure other areas of your life — family, work, hobbies, and health — aren’t impacted by the time you spend gaming online.
Platform Self-Control Tools
3rd offers several self-control features accessible in your account settings. These tools are designed to help you stay in control:
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your 3rd account. Once set, our system will block any deposits exceeding your set amounts. Increasing limits requires a waiting period to ensure careful decision-making.
If you need a break from the platform, you can activate a temporary cooling-off period. During this time, your account will be blocked from any betting activity. This is helpful if you feel gaming is starting to interfere with your life balance.
For those needing longer or permanent breaks, we offer a self-exclusion option. By enabling this, you can block your access to 3rd for a set period or indefinitely. Please contact our support at [email protected] to process requests.
You can view your full deposit, withdrawal, and gaming activity history anytime on your account dashboard. Regular reviews help you stay aware of your spending habits and make informed decisions.
Protecting Minors and Maintaining Life Balance
Protect Children and Teenagers
The 3rd platform is exclusively for users aged 18 and above. We verify age upon registration and reserve the right to request identity verification documents at any time.
If you share devices with younger family members, always log out after each session and keep your password secure. Consider using parental control features on your device to block access to gaming sites.
We encourage parents and guardians to openly discuss online gaming risks with their children and guide responsible internet use.
Healthy Life Balance
Healthy online gaming is only a small part of a balanced life. 3rd encourages users to ensure digital entertainment doesn’t take over time meant for family, friends, work, and self-care.
If someone in your family seems to be spending excessive time gaming online, talk to them with kindness and support. A non-judgmental approach often works best in helping someone change their habits.
Remember: entertainment is meant to enhance your quality of life, not diminish it. When gaming starts feeling like a burden or obligation, it’s time to take a break.
Seeking Professional Help
If you or someone you know struggles with gambling addiction, don’t hesitate to seek help. Gambling addiction is a real health issue that can be treated with proper support.
In Malaysia, there are several professional support resources available. The Ministry of Health Malaysia provides counseling services through public health clinics. You can also contact the mental health hotline to speak confidentially and anonymously with experts.
3rd encourages users who feel that gaming is starting to negatively affect their lives to consult health professionals, registered counselors, or trusted community leaders promptly. Taking the first step to ask for help is a courage to be respected.
