Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Nogizaka46 prioritises the safety and well-being of every user. We take our responsibility seriously in ensuring this platform is used responsibly by all users in Malaysia. Betting is a form of entertainment to be enjoyed within reasonable limits — not a solution to financial problems or life pressures.

The nogizaka46 platform offers a range of self-control tools that users can utilise to keep their betting experience positive and in check. We also work with various support organisations to assist anyone who needs additional help.

Recognise the Signs of Risky Behaviour

It is important for every user to recognise the early signs that betting habits may be becoming a problem. If you or someone you know is showing any of the following signs, please take action immediately:

Spending beyond your means

Betting with money set aside for daily essentials such as rent, food, or bills.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to bet solely to chase back money that has already been lost, with no clear limits in place.

Neglecting responsibilities

Betting begins to negatively affect work, family, or personal relationships.

Difficulty stopping

Feeling restless or uneasy when not betting, even after deciding to stop.

Hiding habits

Hiding betting activity from family or friends out of shame or fear.

Borrowing to bet

Borrowing money from others or taking out loans solely for the purpose of betting.

How to Set Smart Time and Budget Limits

One of the best steps toward responsible play is planning your limits before starting a betting session. nogizaka46 encourages every user to:

  • Set a daily or weekly budget limit — Decide in advance how much (RM) you are comfortable spending on betting over a given period, and stick to that limit without exception.
  • Limit your playing time — Decide how long you will play in each session — for example, no more than one or two hours. Use your phone's timer as a reminder.
  • Don't bet when you're stressed — Avoid making betting decisions when you are feeling sad, angry, or stressed, as emotions can cloud your judgement.
  • Track your spending — Keep a brief record of how much you have spent and won so you always have a clear picture of your financial situation.

Available Self-Control Tools

Nogizaka46 offers several self-control options to help users manage their betting activity in a more organised and responsible way:

Deposit Limit

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit through your account settings. This helps you stay within your planned budget.

Take a Break

If you feel you need a break, you can activate a cooling-off period or temporarily suspend your account. This gives you time to reassess your betting habits.

Self-Exclusion

Users who feel that betting has become a problem may apply for a full self-exclusion from the platform for an extended period to regain control.

To use any of the self-control tools above, please reach out to our customer support team via email at [email protected].

Protecting children from online gambling

Minor Protection

Nogizaka46 takes seriously its responsibility to ensure this platform is not accessed by minors. Our platform is open only to users aged 18 and above.

We encourage parents and guardians to:

  • Ensuring devices are not easily accessible to children without supervision.
  • Using parental control software to block access to gambling sites.
  • Have open conversations with children about the risks of gambling and the importance of financial responsibility.
  • Report to us if you suspect unauthorised access by a minor.

Any account found to have been registered by a minor will be closed immediately and funds returned in accordance with established procedures.

Maintaining a Healthy Balance & Getting Help

Betting should be just a small part of your entertainment life, not the main focus. nogizaka46 encourages users to maintain a balanced lifestyle with other activities such as sports, family time, and healthy hobbies.

If you or someone you know needs additional support regarding gambling habits, we encourage you to seek professional help. Do not hesitate to reach out to a counsellor or a local support organisation that specialises in gambling dependency issues.

You can also reach the nogizaka46 support team at [email protected] for any enquiries related to self-control tools or to report concerns about responsible gambling.
