Nestle888 is only for adults aged 18 and over. Play for fun with money you can afford to lose, and never as a way to earn a living or pay what you owe. This page covers the habits that keep it that way, the signs that it is slipping, and where to find help in Malaysia.

Decide your limits before the first spin

• A money limit. Pick the amount you are ready to lose this week. Deposit that much and no more, and count it as gone the moment it is in.
• A time limit. Set an alarm on your phone before you start. When it rings, stop, whether you are up or down.
• No top-ups to win it back. Chasing a loss with a bigger deposit is how a bad night becomes a bad month.
• The right moment. Skip it when you are angry, very tired, or have been drinking.

Bonuses are extra play, not extra money

Most offers on the promotion page come with turnover: deposit plus bonus, times a multiplier, is the balance you must reach before a withdrawal is allowed. Most bonus balances run out before they get there. While bonus credit is still in your wallet, a withdrawal is limited to RM50, and telco reload or TNG PIN deposits can only claim the PIN offers made for them. Read the terms window before you claim.

Look at your history

HISTORY in the bottom menu shows what has gone in and out of your account. Once a month, add up your deposits and your withdrawals. If the gap surprises you, take that as the signal to cut back.

Signs that it is becoming a problem

• You keep playing longer, or depositing more, than you meant to.
• You borrow, or use money set aside for rent, bills or family, to keep playing.
• You hide how much you play from the people close to you.
• You feel tense or short-tempered on the days you do not play.
• Your work, studies or sleep are suffering.

One of these is enough reason to stop for a while and talk to someone.

Taking a break

Ask Live Chat, in the bottom menu, to pause or close your account. Delete the app from your phone for the length of the break, and tell someone you trust what you are doing, so it is easier to keep to.

Keep under 18s out

Children and teenagers must not register or play. If you share a phone, tablet or computer with them, log out after each session and lock the device.
