Online gambling should be an enjoyable, controlled form of entertainment — not a source of stress or problems. Sone 970 provides the tools, guidance, and support you need to play responsibly and healthily at all times.
For ages 18 and above only. We verify age at registration and reserve the right to request proof at any time.
Personal control tools. Deposit limits, loss limits, break periods, and self-exclusion are available to all members at no charge.
We monitor your patterns. If sone 970's system detects concerning gaming activity, we will reach out to you proactively.
Non-judgmental support. Our team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with empathy and full confidentiality.
Permanent self-exclusion is available. If you need to stop completely, this option cannot be reversed until the period expires.
Six control tools you can activate at any time — all free and easy to use directly from your account settings.
Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in RM. Once a limit is in place, the sone 970 system will not allow deposits exceeding that amount within the specified period. Limits can be lowered immediately, but increasing a limit requires a 48-hour waiting period — giving you time to reconsider. Example: set a weekly deposit limit of RM500 to keep your spending consistently in check without having to track it manually.
Beyond deposit limits, you can also set a daily, weekly, or monthly net loss limit. Once your losses for that period reach the limit you've set, your account will automatically stop allowing further bets until the limit period resets. This prevents the situation where you keep "chasing losses" — one of the most dangerous patterns in gambling. Loss limits operate independently of deposit limits and can be enabled at the same time.
Set a maximum time limit for each gaming session — for example, 1 hour, 2 hours, or 4 hours. As the set time approaches, sone 970 will display a reminder. Once the limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and must take a break of at least 15 minutes before logging back in. This feature is especially useful for preventing unintentional extended play — particularly during highly immersive sessions such as slots or live baccarat.
Choose to temporarily suspend access to your sone 970 account — available in options of 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. During an active break period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or place any bets. All marketing communications and bonus offers will also be paused. This is not an account closure — once the period ends, your account returns to active status as normal. A break period cannot be shortened once activated.
For more serious situations, sone 970 offers a self-exclusion option for periods of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion differs from a break period — it is a stronger commitment where your account will be fully closed and cannot be reopened during the chosen period, even if you request it later. Any valid cash balance remaining in your account will be returned to you via the standard withdrawal method before self-exclusion takes effect.
Enable automatic notifications that alert you whenever your deposit or loss amount reaches a threshold you set. For example, you can configure sone 970 to send you a reminder when your weekly deposits hit RM300 — even if you haven't reached your set deposit limit yet. These alerts act as an "early warning" to help you stay aware of your gaming spending over time.
Recognise these signs early — whether in yourself or someone you care about. The sooner they are identified, the easier they are to address.
You are using money meant for bills, rent, food, or other basic necessities to gamble — and feel distressed when you lose.
Every time you lose, you feel the urge to bet bigger to "chase back" the money you've lost — even when you know things could get worse.
You lie about or hide your gambling activity from family or close ones because you know they would worry or disapprove.
You've repeatedly tried to stop or cut back on gambling but couldn't follow through — even when you genuinely intended to.
Work, family, or personal relationships begin to suffer because gambling is consuming too much of your time and mental energy.
You gamble not for fun but to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other life problems you can't resolve.
You borrow money from family, friends, or rely on personal loans and credit cards solely to fund your gambling.
You find yourself constantly thinking about gambling — planning your next bet, replaying past ones, or figuring out how to get money to play again.
You feel restless, on edge, or irritable when trying to cut back or stop gambling — this is a serious sign of dependency.
If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to reach out to the sone 970 support team or use the self-exclusion tool. Seeking help early is a sign of strength — not weakness.
Answer each question below honestly. This is not a formal test — it is a personal reflection to help you assess your relationship with gambling.
Have you ever gambled longer or spent more than you originally planned in a single session?
Have you ever used money from your savings, monthly bills, or daily necessities to fund your gambling?
Have you ever lied to your partner, parents, or close friends about how much time or money you've spent gambling?
Do wins or losses in gambling have a significant impact on your mood throughout the day — leaving you on a high or pulling you into a deep low?
Have you ever thought about quitting gambling but felt unable to follow through, even after making the decision?
Do you gamble to escape problems, work stress, family issues, or feelings of boredom, loneliness, or anxiety?
Have you ever borrowed money from any source — family, friends, or a bank loan — solely to fund your gambling?
Have people around you ever expressed concern about your gambling habits, even casually?
If you answered "Yes" to three or more of the questions above, we encourage you to talk to someone you trust or reach out to the sone 970 support team. Help is available — and it's easier to access than you might think.
The process is straightforward and can be done on your own without contacting support — except for permanent self-exclusion.

Ask most people about their experience with online casino platforms and many will tell you about sites that talk about "responsible gaming" in the terms and conditions but offer nothing that actually helps when you need real control. Sone 970 was built on a different philosophy — we believe responsible gaming is not just a box to tick for licensing requirements. It is the foundation of trust between the platform and its members.
When sone 970 first launched, one of the core decisions made by the founding team was to build responsible gaming tools into the heart of the platform from day one — not as an afterthought. This means deposit limits, loss limits, and cool-off periods are not just buttons buried in a rarely visited menu. They are an integral part of the sone 970 experience, and we actively promote them to every new member.
Responsible gaming means playing with money you can afford to lose without affecting your finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing. In the Malaysian context, this is particularly relevant because many players enjoy slots, live baccarat, or betting on Liga Super Malaysia football and the Malaysia Open badminton as after-work entertainment — much like others who unwind with a drama series or video games. Problems arise when that entertainment turns into an obsession or a compulsion.
Sone 970 is not built on a platform designed to push you to play more without limits. We don't send notifications engineered to pull you back when you're taking a break. We don't design interfaces meant to make you lose track of time. These are deliberate design choices — because we believe a platform that respects its members' wellbeing will earn members who are more loyal, happier, and with us for the long run.
One of the most dangerous patterns in problem gambling is "chasing losses" — when someone who has just lost feels compelled to bet bigger to "win back" what they have lost. This is a very real psychological trap that affects players at every level of experience. The human brain is naturally averse to loss, and this mechanism can drive someone to make irrational betting decisions when their emotions are running high.
The loss limit at sone 970 is designed specifically to break this cycle. Once your loss limit is reached, the system will stop allowing further bets for that period — not because sone 970 doesn't want you to play again, but because we don't want you playing when you're in an emotional state that could lead to decisions you'll regret. This is a feature that genuinely cares about your wellbeing, not just a legal checkbox.
Sometimes the hardest people to help are the ones closest to us — because they may be in denial or too embarrassed to admit they have a problem. If you're concerned about the gambling habits of someone you care about, the most important thing you can do is approach the conversation with compassion — not accusations or anger. Try to listen more than you speak, and express your concerns from the perspective of how it affects you rather than placing blame on them.
From a practical standpoint, if you have access to the device they use for gambling, you can contact the sone 970 support team to share your concerns with us. We will respond appropriately in accordance with procedures that respect the member's privacy while also taking into account the concerns raised by someone close to them. In cases involving individuals under the age of 18, action will be taken immediately without any delay.
Sone 970 supports a healthy gaming culture within the Malaysian player community. We take our social responsibility seriously as an online gambling platform serving more than 500,000 members across Malaysia — from Perlis to Sabah and Sarawak. This means we continuously invest in training our support team to identify and assist members who may be showing signs of problem gambling, even if those members have not actively sought help.
We also conduct ongoing internal monitoring to detect suspicious patterns — such as a sudden spike in deposits following a significant loss, or bets placed at unusual hours that may indicate emotional distress. When our system detects such patterns, our team will reach out to the member for a brief check-in — not to judge, but to make sure everything is alright.
Remember: playing at sone 970 should leave you feeling good, not stressed. If a session leaves you feeling worse than before you started — that is a sign worth taking seriously. Take a break, reach out to us, or use the available control tools. Your wellbeing matters more than any bet.
