18+ only
Only adults aged 18 and over should play. If anyone younger uses your phone or computer, lock it, stay logged out when you are done, and keep your password and SMS codes to yourself.
Set a budget first
- Decide on an amount you could lose this month without it touching rent, bills, food or family money.
- Never deposit money that is meant for something else, and never play with borrowed money.
- When the budget is gone, you are done until next month. Topping up to win it back is how small losses become big ones.
- Write the number down before you log in. A limit you only have in your head is easy to move.
Offers and the urge to chase
Some offers reward depositing more often or more heavily. On POPMART89, as listed on 1 November 2026, the daily check-in restarts from Day 1 if you miss a day, and the weekly reloads start at RM1,000 deposited in a week and go up to RM25,000. A streak or a tier can nudge you to deposit when you hadn't planned to.
One question settles it: would you deposit that amount today anyway? If not, skip the offer. And remember the caps: free credit with a RM10 maximum payment cannot pay out more than RM10, however lucky the session.
Keep track of time
- Set a timer on your phone before you start, and stop when it goes off.
- Take a proper break every half hour or so: stand up, look away from the screen.
- Don't play when you are tired, upset, stressed or drinking. Those are the sessions people regret.
Warning signs
Be honest with yourself about these:
- You often spend more, or play longer, than you planned.
- You chase losses with another deposit.
- You hide how much you play from family or friends.
- You have borrowed money, or sold something, to keep playing.
- You feel restless or irritable when you can't play.
- Work, study, sleep or family time are slipping because of it.
If two or more sound familiar, take a break now, starting today rather than after one more session.
Getting help
Talk to someone you trust: a family member, a friend, your doctor or a counsellor. Gambling problems are common and they can be treated; talking early makes it easier. You can also ask the platform's Live Chat whether your account can be limited or closed.
In an emergency, if you feel unsafe or have thoughts of harming yourself, call 999 now.
Scams and fake sites
The platform itself warns players about fake POPMART89 sites. Protect yourself:
- Never share your password or SMS verification code, whoever asks.
- Never pay anyone who promises guaranteed wins, inside tips or an
unlock fee
for your winnings. - Be wary of messages offering free credit for joining other platforms.
- Bookmark the address you use and check it each time before you type your password.
