500f Responsible Gambling — Play Smart, Enjoy Longer

At 500f, we believe the best online entertainment is enjoyed mindfully and responsibly. This page provides guides, self-control tools, and important information to help you play in a healthy, responsible way.

Remember: Online gambling is meant to be entertainment, not a source of stress or financial hardship. If you feel that gambling is starting to affect your daily life, help is available.

What is 500f's commitment to responsible gambling?

500f takes our platform's social responsibility seriously. We recognise that while the majority of users enjoy a relaxed and controlled experience, a small number of individuals may find it difficult to manage their gambling habits. That's why we provide a range of resources and control tools that are easily accessible to every registered user.

Our commitment rests on three core principles. First, ensuring every user understands that online gambling is a form of entertainment — much like watching a film or dining out — and not a source of steady income. Second, providing tools that let users manage their own activity and spending. Third, encouraging anyone who needs help to seek support without shame or stigma.

500f does not accept registrations from individuals under the age of 18. This is a non-negotiable policy and we use identity verification processes to ensure it is upheld.

How to set effective time and budget limits

Setting limits before you play is the simplest and most effective way to keep your experience enjoyable. Here are some practical tips we recommend to all 500f users:

Realistic budget limits

Before starting a session, decide upfront how much money in MYR (RM) you are prepared and able to lose — think of it like the cost of any other entertainment, such as a movie ticket. Once that limit is reached, stop completely, even if you feel certain a win is coming. Never use money set aside for living expenses such as bills, rent, or food as gambling funds.

Strict time limits

Set a maximum duration for each session — whether that's 30 minutes, an hour, or whatever works for you. Use your phone's timer as a reminder. When time is up, put the device down and do something else. Breaks between sessions are important for keeping your mind clear and ensuring your decisions are not driven by emotion.

Remember: Stepping away from 500f after a long session is not a sign of weakness — it's a sign of wisdom and good self-control.

Self-control tools available at 500f

500f offers several self-control options that can be activated through your account settings or by contacting our support team. All requests are handled seriously and without judgement.

Deposit Limit

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your account in MYR. Once a limit is in place, the system will automatically reject any deposit that exceeds that amount. Limits can be lowered immediately, but increasing them requires a waiting period — this is an intentional safeguard.

Temporary Break Period

If you feel you need a break from the platform, you can request a temporary cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account will be fully locked and you will not be able to log in or make any transactions, even if you request early access.

Self-Exclusion

For users who need a more decisive step, we offer a long-term self-exclusion option — a minimum of 6 months up to an indefinite period. During self-exclusion, your account is fully closed and no reinstatement will be processed until the period ends. Contact [email protected] to initiate this process.

Minor protection and life balance

Child & Minor Protection

The 500f platform is strictly for users aged 18 and above. We use identity verification processes to enforce this policy. If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly encourage you to:

  • Always log out of your 500f account after each session
  • Using a strong password and never sharing it with anyone
  • Using parental control features on your device to block access to betting sites
  • Keeping login details stored somewhere out of children's reach

Maintaining a healthy life balance

The best gaming experience is one that forms a small part of a well-rounded life. We encourage all 500f users to ensure that playing never replaces time with family, sports, hobbies, or quality rest. If you find that gambling is starting to take over important parts of your life, take proactive steps to restore that balance.
