How to Self-Exclude or Close Your Account — Step-by-Step
Sometimes the smartest play is stepping away. nova88 makes it simple — whether you need a 24-hour pause, a 6-month break, or a permanent exit. This guide walks through both options: self-exclusion (temporary block) and full account closure (permanent). Both are free, reversible only in specific cases, and take under 2 minutes to activate. For broader player protection, see our responsible gaming framework or start at the Nova88 Malaysia homepage.
