Gambling should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of financial stress or personal harm. Shell96 is committed to providing every Malaysian player with the tools, information, and support needed to stay in control.
Shell96 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all registered players. This is not merely a platform policy — it is a non-negotiable condition of our international licensing and a cornerstone of our commitment to player protection.
Age verification is conducted during the Know Your Customer (KYC) process for every registered account. Players are required to submit a valid government-issued photo identification document — such as a Malaysian MyKad (NRIC), Passport, or Driver's License — as part of this process. No withdrawal will be processed from an account that has not completed age verification.
Accounts found to be held by individuals under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended and all account balances forfeited, regardless of the source of those funds. This matter will also be escalated to our licensing authority as required.
Every new Shell96 account requires a date of birth entry during registration. Accounts cannot be created without providing this information.
Before any withdrawal is processed, players must submit a valid government-issued photo ID confirming their identity and age. A Malaysian MyKad is the preferred document for local players.
Our compliance team reviews submitted documents within 24–48 hours. Accounts flagged during review are suspended pending clarification.
Age compliance is monitored on an ongoing basis. Additional verification may be requested at any time if our systems flag an age-related concern.
Shell96 provides a suite of free, immediately accessible responsible gambling tools to every registered player. No fees, no waiting periods for activation — just practical controls available from your account settings panel whenever you need them.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once set, deposit limits take effect immediately and can only be decreased straight away — increases require a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before taking effect. This asymmetric design protects you when you need it most.
Instant ActivationDefine the maximum amount you are willing to lose across a day, week, or month. Once your defined loss threshold is reached, no further wagers can be placed until the next period begins. This tool is particularly effective for players managing a strict entertainment budget in MYR.
Instant ActivationSet a maximum play session duration. Shell96 will notify you when your session limit is approaching and will automatically end your session when the limit is reached. You can also enable session reminders that display elapsed time at regular intervals during play.
Instant ActivationTake a short break from the platform without permanently closing your account. Cool-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days are available. During a cool-off, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers. The cool-off activates immediately upon request.
Instant ActivationSelf-exclusion is a formal, longer-term measure for players who need a more sustained break. Shell96 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period — this is by design to provide genuine protection.
Strong ProtectionPlayers who wish to take a step back can opt out of all Shell96 promotional communications — including bonus offers, free spins promotions, and sports betting alerts. This reduces the temptation to play beyond your intended entertainment budget. Marketing opt-out takes effect within 24 hours of request.
Instant ActivationSetting a deposit limit takes less than two minutes and is one of the most effective ways to ensure your gambling stays within a budget you're genuinely comfortable with. Here's exactly how to do it.
Access the Shell96 platform via shell96.cam and log in with your registered credentials.
Click on your username or profile icon in the top navigation, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Within Account Settings, locate and click the "Responsible Gambling" section. All player protection tools are grouped here.
Select the period (daily / weekly / monthly), enter your preferred limit in MYR (e.g., RM 200 per week), and confirm your choice.
Your deposit limit is saved and takes effect immediately. You will receive an email confirmation. Contact support at any time if you need help managing your limits.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognising early warning signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step to addressing them. The signs below are not a diagnosis, but they are worth taking seriously.
Returning to gamble after losing in order to win back money — particularly after a session you intended to be your last.
Concealing how much time or money you spend gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues in Kuala Lumpur or elsewhere.
Using funds earmarked for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses in Malaysia — such as Maybank account savings — to fund gambling activity.
Feeling unable to stop gambling once you've started, or returning to the platform immediately after attempting to take a break.
Using gambling as a coping mechanism for anxiety, depression, loneliness, or stress — including work-related pressure or relationship difficulties.
Gambling is consuming time or attention that would otherwise go to work, family commitments, or social relationships — affecting quality of life in a meaningful way.
This brief self-assessment is adapted from widely used responsible gambling screening tools. It is not a clinical diagnostic tool, but consistent "yes" answers to multiple questions below suggest that speaking with a support service would be beneficial.
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement from gambling?
Have you tried to cut down or stop gambling but found yourself unable to do so despite wanting to?
Have you gambled as a way of escaping problems, relieving feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?
Have you lied to family members, friends, or a therapist about the extent of your gambling?
After losing money gambling, have you returned another day to try to "get even" — commonly referred to as chasing losses?
Has gambling caused significant problems in your relationships, your work or studies, or your financial situation in Malaysia?
Have you ever had to ask others to bail you out of a serious financial situation caused by gambling?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or preoccupied when you are not gambling or when you try to cut down on gambling?
