Age Policy — 21+ Only
At registration, every user is required to provide their date of birth. This information is verified automatically, and accounts belonging to players under 21 are rejected before activation. Before any withdrawal is processed, our KYC team reviews a government-issued photo ID — such as a Malaysian MyKad or passport — to confirm the account holder's age.
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental controls and internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you suspect that a person under 21 has registered an account on api777, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and act promptly.
Zero Tolerance for Underage Gambling
Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended. All associated funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter may be referred to the relevant authorities.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Gambling is an enjoyable pastime for most people who play within their means. However, for some players it can develop into a pattern that causes harm. Knowing the early warning signs makes it easier to address issues before they become serious problems.
The following behaviours may indicate that gambling is starting to have a negative impact on your life or the life of someone you care about:
- Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended;
- Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to win back money you have lost;
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to reduce or stop gambling;
- Hiding your gambling activity from family members or close friends;
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting bills to fund gambling;
- Gambling to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or other difficult feelings;
- Neglecting work, study, family commitments, or personal health due to gambling;
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut down or stop gambling;
- Thinking about gambling constantly — planning the next session or reliving past wins.
One or more of these signs?
Recognising a pattern is the first step. Use the self-assessment below, or reach out to our Player Welfare team immediately via live chat. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for help.
Quick Self-Assessment
Take a moment to reflect on your recent gambling behaviour. The questions below are based on widely-used responsible gambling screening frameworks. This is a private, non-submitting tool — no data is collected or sent anywhere.
How Are You Playing? 🎯
Tick any statements that have been true for you in the past 30 days. This is for your own reflection only — nothing on this page is saved or submitted.

How to Activate These Tools
Log in to your api777 account and navigate to Account Settings › Responsible Gambling. You can also activate any tool instantly by contacting our live chat support team — available 24/7.
Deposit Limits in Detail
Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling spend within a budget you are comfortable with. At api777, limits are applied in MYR and can be configured at three timeframes to suit your situation.
| Limit Type | Minimum | Default (New Accounts) | Reduction | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daily Limit | RM 30 | No limit set | Instant | 48-hour delay |
| Weekly Limit | RM 100 | No limit set | Instant | 48-hour delay |
| Monthly Limit | RM 300 | No limit set | Instant | 48-hour delay |
The 48-hour delay on increasing limits is a deliberate safeguard. It gives you time to reconsider a decision that may have been made impulsively — for example, after a losing session. If you change your mind within 48 hours, simply contact support and the increase request will be cancelled at no consequence.
Malaysian players can set limits in MYR and apply them across all deposit methods, including Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, DuitNow, and FPX transfers. Cryptocurrency deposits are counted towards MYR limits using the exchange rate at the time of the transaction.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is available to any api777 player who feels they need a more definitive break from gambling. It is a serious tool designed for situations where standard deposit limits or cooling-off periods are not sufficient.
How Self-Exclusion Works
To request self-exclusion, contact our Player Welfare team via live chat or email at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Please include your account username and your preferred exclusion period. Our team will process your request within 24 hours.
During self-exclusion, your account will be locked, all marketing communications will be suspended, and you will be unable to deposit, place bets, or access any api777 games or services. Any pending bets at the time of exclusion will be settled normally, and your remaining balance will be returned to your nominated withdrawal method.
Exclusion Periods
- Short-term cooling off: 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days — account reactivates automatically at expiry
- Medium-term exclusion: 3 months or 6 months — requires a manual reactivation request after the period ends
- Long-term / permanent exclusion: 12 months to permanent — permanent exclusion cannot be reversed; a new account may not be created
Self-Exclusion Is Enforced Without Exception
Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the agreed period ends. If you attempt to create a new account during self-exclusion period, that account will be closed and funds returned. We take this seriously because we know that having a reliable barrier is what makes self-exclusion effective.

The following practical guidelines can help you keep gambling in its proper place — as one enjoyable leisure activity among many, rather than a central or compulsive part of your day.
Set a budget before you start
Decide how much you are comfortable spending before each session and stick to it. Treat it as the cost of entertainment — not an investment.
Set a time limit too
Decide how long you want to play before you start and use api777's session timer to stay on track. Taking regular breaks keeps the experience enjoyable.
Never chase your losses
If you hit your loss limit for the session, log out. Chasing losses leads to larger losses and escalating stress — it almost never works.
Avoid gambling when impaired
Gambling while tired, drunk, or emotionally distressed leads to poor decisions. Save your sessions for when you are calm and clear-headed.
Keep it in balance
Make sure gambling is just one of several leisure activities in your life. Spending time with family in Petaling Jaya, catching a Liga Super Malaysia match, or exercising keeps perspective healthy.
Talk about it openly
Gambling openly with a trusted friend or family member helps keep it social and grounded. Secrecy is often an early indicator that something has shifted.
