Games should be fun. This page helps you keep it that way, and explains where to get help.
Healthy gaming habits
- Set a time limit before you start, and take breaks.
- Use spending limits in Google Play (Settings, then Payments and subscriptions, then Budget) if you make in-app purchases.
- Use parental controls for children’s devices and accounts.
Online gambling
Unlicensed online casino apps and ‘free credit’ offers are illegal in Malaysia and are a common route to scams and debt. If gambling is causing problems for you or someone you know, talk to someone.
