At Texas918, responsible gambling is not a compliance checkbox — it is a genuine commitment. We believe that gambling should always be entertainment, never a source of stress, debt, or harm. This page explains the tools available to you, how to recognise warning signs, and where to access help if you need it.
Minimum Age Requirement
Strictly enforced via KYC verification
These tools are accessible directly from your account at any time — no support ticket required for most settings. If you need assistance activating any of them, our 24/7 live chat team can help immediately.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from your account settings. Once a limit is in place, it cannot be increased immediately — there is a mandatory cooling-off period before any increase takes effect. Decreases apply instantly. This gives you genuine control rather than a nominal one.
Set a session duration limit and Texas918 will display an on-screen reminder when your playing time reaches that threshold. It is easy to lose track of time during an engaging live casino or sportsbook session — this tool keeps you aware without interrupting gameplay unless you decide to stop.
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During this period, your account will be restricted from deposits and gameplay. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled once active, giving you a firm and reliable pause when you need it most.
If you feel that gambling has become a problem, self-exclusion is available at Texas918. You can exclude yourself for a defined period or permanently. During exclusion, your account is locked, promotional communications are stopped, and you cannot create a new account. This is a serious, supported tool — not a temporary inconvenience.
Texas918 allows players to view their complete deposit, withdrawal, and wagering history at any time. Reviewing your actual gambling activity — rather than relying on memory — is one of the most effective ways to stay in control. Transparent records give you honest visibility into your spending patterns.
Our 24/7 live support team is trained to assist players who raise concerns about their gambling behaviour. Conversations of this nature are treated with complete confidentiality. If you feel you need help but are unsure where to start, contacting our live chat is a low-barrier first step that our team takes seriously.
Responsible gambling means choosing to gamble within set limits — both financial and time-based — while maintaining full awareness that gambling outcomes are determined by chance. It means treating a session of live baccarat, a slot spin, or a football bet on the Liga Super Malaysia weekend fixtures as entertainment, in the same way you might approach a cinema ticket or a meal out.
At Texas918, we want every Malaysian player — whether in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Shah Alam, or Petaling Jaya — to experience the platform positively. That means winning is enjoyable, and losing is an acceptable cost of entertainment that you have budgeted for in advance.
"Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose is not entertainment — it is financial risk with no safety net. Set your budget before you start and stick to it regardless of the session outcome."
The distinction between recreational gambling and problem gambling is largely about control. A recreational player sets a budget, plays within it, walks away when the budget is spent, and does not feel compelled to chase losses. A player who is losing control may find themselves betting more to recover losses, hiding gambling activity from family members, or prioritising gambling over essential expenses like rent or groceries.
Texas918 is not in a position to monitor every player's personal financial situation, but we do monitor behavioural patterns on the platform — such as rapid redepositing after a significant loss — and our responsible gambling team may proactively reach out if patterns suggest a player may need support. These outreach communications are offered with care and are not disciplinary in nature.
The following questions are a self-assessment guide — not a clinical diagnostic tool. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to take a break, activate self-exclusion, or speak to a support service. There is no judgement in acknowledging that gambling has become more than entertainment.
If you recognise yourself in any of the questions below, the most important step is to take action before the pattern escalates. Contact Texas918 live chat to activate self-exclusion, or reach out to Talian Kasih (15999) or Befrienders KL (03-7627 2929) for confidential support. These are text references only — please contact the services directly.

Q6 Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling or when you try to reduce your gambling?
Q7 Has gambling caused or contributed to relationship stress, work performance issues, or financial difficulty in the past 12 months?

Texas918 offers multiple self-exclusion options depending on what you need. All exclusions are actioned within one business day of your request. To initiate any of these options, contact our 24/7 live chat team or adjust settings in your account dashboard.
A 24-hour account restriction for players who want to pause immediately following an intensive session. Your account and deposit access are suspended for the full period, which cannot be cancelled once activated.
A seven-day break from gambling. Useful if you find your weekly spending has been higher than expected or if life circumstances are creating additional pressure. Takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
A 30-day exclusion period recommended for players who have identified a developing problem and want meaningful time away from the platform to re-evaluate their relationship with gambling without a permanent commitment.
The account is permanently closed. All marketing communications are stopped. You cannot create a new Texas918 account following permanent exclusion. This option is available to any player at any time and is treated with full seriousness and confidentiality by our team.
Important: During any period of self-exclusion at Texas918, we will stop sending promotional emails and bonus notifications to your registered email address. Any verified real-money balance remaining in your account will be held safely and returned to you via your registered payment method upon expiry of a temporary exclusion, or upon your written request following permanent closure. We will not contact you with promotions or re-engagement offers during an active exclusion period.
Deposit limits are one of the most effective and practical responsible gambling tools available. Unlike a general intention to "spend less", a deposit limit is a hard platform-enforced boundary — once you reach your set limit, you simply cannot deposit more within that period, regardless of how the session has gone.
Texas918 allows you to set deposit limits at three intervals: daily, weekly, and monthly. You can hold all three simultaneously — for example, a RM100 daily limit,RM400 weekly limit, and RM1,200 monthly limit — to create layered protection.
One feature we consider critical to making limits meaningful: any request to increase a deposit limit is subject to a mandatory waiting period before the increase takes effect. This prevents in-session emotional decisions from bypassing protections. Reductions, on the other hand, apply instantly.
How to set limits: Log into your Texas918 account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gambling, and select Deposit Limits. Our24/7 live chat team can also assist if you need help locating these settings.
Cap your total deposits within any single calendar day. Ideal for players who tend to make multiple smaller deposits across session. Resets at midnight each day.
Set a total deposit ceiling across any rolling 7-day period. Useful for managing your weekly entertainment budget alongside other discretionary spending.
The most broad-level control — a total cap on all deposits within a calendar month. Aligning this with your monthly disposable entertainment budget is the recommended approach.
Any request to reduce your deposit limit takes effect immediately. You will not be asked to wait, confirm again the next day, or justify your decision. Reductions are instant and unconditional.
Any request to increase an existing deposit limit is subject to a mandatory waiting period before the change applies. This is a deliberate design decision — it ensures that limit increases are considered decisions, not in-session reactions to a losing streak.
The minimum age to register and gamble on the Texas918 platform is 21 years old. This is not a guideline — it is a hard rule enforced through our KYC identity verification process. Every account is subject to age verification, and no withdrawals are processed until a player's age has been confirmed.
If Texas918 has reason to believe an account may be operated by a person under 21, we will suspend the account immediately, withold any balance pending investigation, and if confirmed, close the account and return any deposited funds to the original payment method.
Protecting Minors: If you are parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed Texas918, please contact our support team immediately. We take underage gambling seriously and will investigate and act without delay.
When you register at Texas918, you are required to declare your date of birth. The platform will not allow registration by persons declaring an age below 21. Providing a false date of birth is a serious violation of our Terms and Conditions.
Before your first withdrawal — and in some cases before higher deposit thresholds — you will be required to submit a government-issued photo ID. For Malaysian players, this is typically your MyKad (IC). The document is reviewed to confirm your identity and date of birth.
All KYC documents are reviewed by our compliance team. The review confirms that the name, date of birth, and photo match the registered account details. Accounts that cannot be verified are suspended pending resolution.
Texas918 maintains ongoing account monitoring to detect behavioural indicators that may suggest an account is being operated by a minor or a third party on behalf of a minor. Suspicious accounts may be subject to enhanced verification at any time.
Parents and guardians in Malaysia can also use third-party parental control software to restrict access to gambling-related websites on devices used by minors. Texas918 encourages the use of such tools as an additional layer of protection.
