Ocean 13's Commitment

The Six Pillars of Responsible Gambling

At Ocean 13, we believe the best betting experience is one that is safe, in control, and enjoyable — not one that becomes a burden.

Daily & Weekly Deposit Limits

Set your own deposit limit — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, Ocean 13 will automatically block any additional deposits until the limit period resets.

Play Time Limit

Set session time reminders or limits for your play at Ocean 13. When your set time is almost up, the system will send a notification so you can take a break and make decisions with a clear head.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break, activate a mandatory cool-off period of 24 hours, 3 days, or 7 days. During this time, your account will be locked from all betting activity without exception.

Self-Exclusion

For long-term protection, Ocean 13 members can choose to self-exclude from the platform for 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. This option cannot be reversed during the chosen period.

Promotion Restriction

You can choose to opt out of all marketing communications and bonus offers from Ocean 13. This helps reduce the temptation to bet more than you intended.

Maximum Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit you are comfortable with for a given period. Ocean 13 will automatically block further betting once this limit is reached, effectively protecting your finances.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible Gambling refers to a healthy, controlled and balanced approach to betting — where you play for entertainment, not as a way to solve financial or emotional problems. At Ocean 13, we believe every member deserves a safe online betting experience — whether you're playing Malaysia Super League football, Live Casino baccarat, online slots, virtual sports, or MPL Malaysia esports.

Responsible gambling means you always have full control over your decisions — how much you spend, how long you play, and when to stop. It's not just about money; it's about your mental wellbeing, relationships, and overall quality of life.

Ocean 13 takes this responsibility seriously. We don't just provide a fair and transparent gaming platform — we also equip every member with practical, easy-to-use responsible gambling tools. Our goal is simple: every session at Ocean 13 should end with you feeling satisfied, not regretful.

Remember: Betting should be one form of entertainment among many, like watching EPL football or going to the cinema. It is not a source of income and not a solution to financial problems.

Warning Signs of a Betting Addiction

Betting addiction, also known as problem gambling is a real mental health condition. It can affect anyone — men or women, young or old, professionals or students. Learn to recognise the early signs before things get worse:

  • Betting more than you can afford: You are using bill money, rent, emergency savings, or borrowed funds to bet on Ocean 13 or other platforms.
  • Chasing losses: After a loss, you keep increasing your bet size in hopes of winning back what you lost — this is the most common warning sign.
  • Lying to loved ones: You hide your betting activity from your partner, family, or close friends, or lie about how much you have spent.
  • Can't stop even when you want to: You have tried to stop or cut back on betting multiple times without success, and feel restless or irritable when attempting to do so.
  • Gambling is affecting your work or studies: You are frequently late to work, unable to focus, or your academic performance has declined due to spending too much time on betting.
  • Using betting as an escape: You bet to escape your problems, relieve stress, cope with boredom, or numb feelings of sadness and loneliness.
  • You can bet responsibly: You set your limits before you play, accept losses calmly, never chase them, and can stop at any time without feeling pressured.

If you recognise two or more of the signs above in yourself, please seek help immediately. Contact the helpline Talian Kasih: 15999 (Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Malaysia) or contact the Ocean 13 team via Live Chat for immediate self-exclusion assistance.

How to Use Ocean 13's Responsible Gambling Tools

Step 1 – Log In to Your Ocean 13 Account

Go to login page Ocean 13 and enter your username and password. Make sure you are using a secure personal device.

Step 2 – Access the "Account Settings" Section

Click the profile icon in the top right corner of the screen, then select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.

Step 4 – Set Limits and Confirm

Enter your desired limit (e.g. a daily deposit limit of RM200) and click "Save" or "Activate". Ocean 13's system will enforce this limit immediately.

Smart Betting Budget Guide

Managing your finances wisely is the foundation of a healthy betting experience at Ocean 13. Here are some practical tips you can apply to your daily betting activity:

  • Set a weekly budget: Decide in advance how much of your entertainment budget you can set aside for betting each week — and stick to that limit without exception.
  • Use a separate deposit: Only deposit money you have set aside for entertainment. Do not use bill payments, grocery money, or emergency savings to bet at Ocean 13.
  • Use FPX and e-wallets: Depositing via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, Boost, ShopeePay, or FPX makes it easy to track your spending through each app's transaction history.
  • Your transaction records: Keep a simple record of how much you deposit and withdraw each week. This helps you spot spending patterns more clearly.
  • Don't gamble when you're stressed: Financial decisions made when you are angry, sad, or stressed are rarely rational. Take a break before you play.
  • Spend your winnings wisely: If you win, withdraw a portion of your winnings to your bank account or e-wallet and keep it — don't bet it all back.

Family & Child Protection

Ocean 13 takes the protection of minors seriously. All registrations require MyKad verification or a valid government-issued ID, and we strictly enforce a minimum age requirement of 18 years old without exception.

If you share a device with family members or children, we recommend the following steps:

  • Always log out of your Ocean 13 account after each session, especially on shared devices.
  • Do not save your password in the browser on any shared device.
  • Enable parental controls on devices used by children.
  • If you believe a child has accessed your account, contact the Ocean 13 support team immediately for prompt action.

FAQ

FAQ – Responsible Gambling

Answers to the most frequently asked questions from Ocean 13 members about responsible gaming.

Log in to your Ocean 13 account, go to "Account Settings" and look for the "Responsible Gaming" section. There, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits based on what you can comfortably afford. These limits take effect immediately once saved. To increase a limit, a 7-day waiting period applies as an added safety measure.

No, self-exclusion at Ocean 13 is final for the period you have chosen. This is by design, to provide meaningful protection. If you select a 6-month self-exclusion, your account will remain inaccessible for the full duration without exception. Once the period ends, you will need to contact customer support to reactivate your account.

Your Ocean 13 account balance remains safe throughout your self-exclusion period. Your funds will not be lost or used. You may contact the Ocean 13 support team to withdraw your balance to a registered bank account or e-wallet (Maybank, CIMB, Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, and others ) even while your self-exclusion is active.

The first step is acknowledging the problem — and by seeking out this information, you've already taken the right step. Activate self-exclusion immediately through your Ocean 13 account settings, or reach out to our support team via Live Chat. You can also call Talian Kasih 15999 for free counselling, or see a GP for a referral to a psychiatrist or addiction counsellor at your nearest government hospital.

Not at all. Ocean 13 strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 18 years. All account registrations require identity verification using a MyKad or other valid government-issued ID. Any account found to have been registered by a minor will be closed immediately and the balance refunded. We also encourage parents and guardians to ensure that children cannot access the Ocean 13 platform.

Yes, you can reduce your deposit limit at any time and the change takes effect immediately. This is different from increasing your deposit limit, which requires a 7-day waiting period. This policy is designed to make it easy for you to cut back on spending whenever needed, with no barriers — in line with Ocean 13's commitment to responsible gambling.
