4matic’s Commitment to Responsible Gaming
4matic takes our responsibility for each user’s wellbeing seriously. Online gaming should be a fun form of entertainment — not a source of stress, financial trouble, or personal conflict. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent environment that supports smart decision-making.
4matic provides a range of self-control tools accessible directly from your account settings. Users are encouraged to use these tools proactively, not just when problems arise. Early awareness is the most effective step in maintaining a positive and controlled gaming experience.
We also support users who need a break or want to stop completely. No judgment — everyone’s needs are different, and we’re here to assist you with whatever choice you make for your own well-being.
How to Identify Risky Behaviors?
The following warning signs may indicate your gaming habits are becoming unhealthy. If you recognize any in yourself or someone you care about, take immediate action.
Chasing Losses
Continuing to play just to try to win back lost money is a major warning sign. Losses are part of the game—and chasing them usually leads to bigger losses.
Uncontrolled Playtime
If you find yourself playing longer than planned or neglecting daily responsibilities because of gaming, it’s a sign you need stricter time limits.
Borrowing Money to Play
Using borrowed money, emergency savings, or daily spending money to deposit more into your account is a serious warning sign that betting has crossed the line from entertainment.
Significant Mood Changes
Extreme highs when winning and severe stress when losing are unhealthy emotional patterns. Gaming outcomes should not dominate your mood throughout the day.
Neglecting Social Relationships
Withdrawing from family or friends because you spend more time playing, or lying about how much time and money you spend, is a sign requiring immediate attention.
Playing to Escape Problems
Using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or real-life problems is a pattern that puts your long-term well-being at significant risk.
How to Set Effective Time and Budget Limits
Setting personal limits before playing is a best practice recommended by 4matic to all users. Here is a practical guide to help you maintain control while playing:
Daily and Monthly Budget Limits
Set a limit on how much money in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) you are comfortable losing — not the amount you "hope" to win. Only use extra funds, never money meant for essentials like rent, bills, or food. Once you hit this limit, stop for the day.
Session Time Limits
Set a clear time limit for each session — for example, no more than one or two hours. Use a timer or alarm to help you stop when your time is up. Taking regular breaks helps keep your judgment sharp.
Don’t Play When Stressed
Avoid playing when you’re stressed, sad, angry, or tired. Unstable emotions can lead to irrational decisions and losses beyond what you can afford.
Record and Review
Regularly record your deposits, playtime, and results. Reviewing these records monthly helps you understand your gaming patterns and make adjustments before problems develop.
Self-Control Tools Available on 4matic
The 4matic platform offers several self-control features that you can activate through your account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected]:
Deposit Limits
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account in MYR. Once set, our system will block any deposits exceeding these limits within the specified period. Limits can be lowered immediately, but increasing limits requires a cooling-off period for extra protection.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a break from the platform, you can request a cooling-off period from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this time, you won’t be able to log in or make deposits, but withdrawals of your existing balance can still be processed.
Self-Exclusion
For users needing a longer break or who want to stop completely, the self-exclusion option allows your account to be suspended for an extended period. Contact [email protected] for assistance with this option. We will process your request promptly and without any unnecessary questions.
Underage Protection
The 4matic platform is strictly for individuals aged 18 and over. We take underage protection seriously and have implemented the following measures:
- All registrations require age verification during the KYC (identity verification) process before any deposits or bets are allowed.
- Users suspected to be under 18 will be suspended until sufficient age verification is provided.
- Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software on shared devices to block unwanted access to online gaming platforms.
- Anyone aware of underage individuals using the 4matic platform is encouraged to contact us immediately at [email protected].
Protecting children and teens from early exposure to betting activities is a shared responsibility that we take very seriously.
Maintaining Life Balance and Getting Help
Healthy betting means keeping it as a small recreational activity within your full and balanced life. Here are some simple principles to maintain that balance:
- Always ensure betting never takes priority over your family, work, or health essentials.
- Maintain healthy social connections — spend quality time with family and friends without distractions from phones or gaming.
- Find other hobbies and activities that bring satisfaction and joy outside of online gaming.
- If someone you trust expresses concern about your gaming habits, listen carefully and take their feedback seriously.
Getting Professional Help
If you or someone you know needs additional support related to gambling issues, professional help is available. You don’t have to face it alone. Reach out to a qualified counselor or mental health expert for guidance tailored to your situation. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. For account control inquiries at 4matic, contact us anytime at [email protected].
