Gaming is meant to be enjoyable. pussyapp provides a full suite of responsible gambling tools so that every player — from Kuala Lumpur to Johor Bahru — can stay in control of their play, their spending, and their time on the Platform.
We believe that the vast majority of people who play on pussyapp do so for entertainment, the thrill of a Liga Super Malaysia match, or the buzz of a live casino table. Gambling is a recreational activity, and when kept in perspective, it can be a perfectly enjoyable part of life for adults who choose to participate.
However, we also recognise that for some individuals, gambling can stop being fun and start causing harm. Problem gambling is a real issue that can affect people from all walks of life — in Petaling Jaya or Penang, young professional or retiree. pussyapp takes this seriously, which is why we have invested in a comprehensive set of responsible gambling controls, player awareness tools, and support pathways.
This page explains what responsible gambling means at pussyapp, the practical tools available to every registered player, warning signs to watch out for, and where to seek help if gambling has become a concern for you or someone you care about.
Problem gambling refers to gambling behaviour that disrupts personal, family, financial, or professional life. It exists on a spectrum — from occasional overspending to compulsive gambling that feels impossible to control. The key distinction is not how much you gamble or how frequently, but whether gambling is causing harm in your life or the lives of those around you.
According to responsible gambling research, problem gambling is more likely to develop when a person gambles with money they cannot afford to lose, uses gambling to escape stress or negative emotions, or continues to gamble despite repeated losses in the hope of winning back what was lost. The so-called "chasing losses" pattern is one of the clearest early warning signs.
It is important to understand that problem gambling is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. It is a recognised behavioural health condition that responds well to structured support, professional counselling, and practical self-management tools — all of which pussyapp actively encourages and supports.
Important Reminder: Gambling is a form of paid entertainment — the house always has a mathematical edge over time. Never gamble with money you need for rent, food, utilities, or other essential expenses. Never borrow money to fund gambling. If you feel that you are gambling more than you intended, or that gambling is affecting your daily life, please use the responsible gambling tools available in your pussyapp Account or contact our support team immediately.
Every registered player on pussyapp has free access to these controls at any time, directly from their Account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, per week, or per month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose in a given time period. When your loss threshold is reached, your Account is automatically restricted from further wagering until the limit period resets — protecting you from chasing losses in a bad session.
Set a maximum session duration. When your specified time is up, pussyapp will alert you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This helps prevent the loss of track of time that can contribute to impulsive overspending.
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that display how long you have been playing and a summary of your net win/loss for the session. These prompts encourage you to pause, reassess, and make a conscious decision about whether to continue playing.
Take a break from gambling without permanently closing your Account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During this period, you cannot deposit, bet, or access gaming products — but your Account and funds remain intact.
If you need a longer break or want to stop gambling permanently, self-exclusion removes your access to the Platform for a specified period (6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently). Requests are processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed during the active exclusion window.
pussyapp applies the following default limits to all new accounts. Players may set tighter personal limits at any time via Account Settings. Requests to increase limits require a 7-day waiting period and additional verification for accounts flagged under our responsible gambling monitoring system.
| Limit Type | Default Limit | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Deposit | RM 2,000 | Adjustable |
| Weekly Deposit | RM 10,000 | Adjustable |
| Monthly Deposit | RM 30,000 | Adjustable |
| Daily Loss | RM 1,500 | Adjustable |
| Session Duration | 4 hours (default reminder) | Adjustable |
| Cooling-Off Minimum | 24 hours | Immediate effect |
| Self-Exclusion Minimum | 6 months | Irreversible |
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available when you feel you need to step away from gambling. Here is how the process works on pussyapp:
Reach out via live chat (available 24/7) or navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gambling > Self-Exclusion. State your chosen exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent.
A brief identity check confirms the request is from the Account holder. This step protects you from the Account being excluded by anyone other than yourself.
Your Account is restricted from all deposits and gaming within 24 hours of the confirmed request. During this period, any existing withdrawal requests will be processed normally.
For fixed-term exclusions, you may request reinstatement after the full exclusion period has elapsed. A 7-day reflection period applies before the Account is reopened. Permanent exclusions are not reversible.
Self-exclusion automatically removes you from all marketing communications, bonus offers, and promotional emails for the duration of the exclusion period.
Honest self-assessment is the first step. If you recognise several of the following patterns in your own behaviour, it may be time to use one of our responsible gambling tools or seek external support.
Do you find yourself spending more money or time on gambling than you originally intended?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Do you gamble to escape feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, or boredom?
After losing, do you feel a strong urge to immediately return and win back what you lost ("chasing losses")?
Have you borrowed money, sold belongings, or neglected bills to fund your gambling?
Have family members, friends, or colleagues expressed concern about how much you gamble?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to use pussyapp's self-exclusion tool or speak with one of the support organisations listed below. There is no shame in seeking help — it is the responsible thing to do.
Most pussyapp players gamble responsibly. Here are the habits that keep gaming fun and under control.
Set a budget before you play. Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable losing — treat it as entertainment spending, not an investment.
Use deposit and loss limits proactively. Set these in your Account Settings before you start playing, not after you have already overspent.
Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, grab a drink of water, and reassess how you are feeling about the session before continuing.
Never gamble when under the influence of alcohol or other substances that may impair your judgment or self-control.
Balance gambling with other activities. Gambling should be one of many leisure activities in your life — not the primary one.
Accept losses as the cost of entertainment. Winnings are a bonus; losses are expected. Never gamble with the aim of making a profit or solving financial problems.
Keep gambling separate from other life stresses. If you are going through a difficult period financially or emotionally, it is better to take a break than to seek comfort on the Platform.

We also employ algorithmic monitoring to flag accounts exhibiting usage patterns inconsistent with adult players, and our support team is trained to escalate any suspected under-age account for immediate review.
For Parents and Guardians: If you are concerned that a minor in your household may have accessed or attempted to access pussyapp, please contact our support team immediately. We will act swiftly to close any such account and ensure that no real money transactions have been processed.

KYC age checks on all accounts before first withdrawal. Under-age accounts closed immediately with deposits returned.
