IBet's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Online gaming should be a source of entertainment — not stress or burden. iBet takes a proactive approach to ensuring all players in Malaysia have the opportunity to enjoy our platform in a healthy and responsible way. We not only provide quality games, but also a robust framework to protect the well-being of our players.

Responsible gaming means playing for fun, with money you can set aside for entertainment — not money for bills, food, or essential needs. It also means knowing your own limits and stopping before it becomes a problem. ibet makes this easy with a range of tools available directly in your account.

We understand that for some people, wagering can lead to concerning behavioural patterns. That is why iBet provides ongoing support, easily accessible self-control tools, and transparent information to help every player make smart, informed decisions.

Important Reminder: Betting should only be done by individuals aged 21 and above. Never bet with borrowed money or money needed for your own or your family's basic needs.
Core Principles of Healthy Gaming
Set a budget before you start playing
Don't chase losses — it is not a strategy
Take regular breaks while playing
Play for fun, not as a source of income
Balance your time with other activities in life

Tools Self-Control on the ibet Platform

Ibet provides a range of control tools you can use at any time directly from your account — no need to contact customer support first.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit
Set the maximum amount you can deposit within a given period. Once the limit is reached, the ibet system will automatically block additional deposits until the next period begins. This is the most effective way to keep your spending in check.
Session Play Time Limit
Set the maximum time you are allowed to play in a single session. When the time is up, the system will send a warning and log you out automatically. This feature helps you avoid unintentionally long gaming sessions, especially late at night.
Loss Limit
Set the maximum loss amount you are comfortable with per day, week, or month. Once this limit is reached, ibet will temporarily pause your betting activity. This helps you avoid making emotional decisions after a losing streak.
Temporary Break (Time-Out)
Need a short break from the platform? Use the Time-Out feature to block access to your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not receive any promotional communications from ibet. Your account can be reactivated once the period ends.
Self-Exclusion
For more serious cases, ibet offers long-term self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During the exclusion period, your account will be fully locked and you will not be able to open a new account. Contact ibet support to activate this option.
Block Promotional Content
You can opt out of receiving any promotional emails, bonus notifications, or marketing offers from iBet at any time. This option helps reduce the urge to play that may arise from receiving continuous promotional offers.

Signs Problem Gambling

Identifying early warning signs is an important first step. Review the list below — if you recognise yourself in several of these points, it may be time to take action and seek support.

1
You play longer or spend more than planned, often losing track of how quickly time passes.
2
You chase losses — continuing to play after a loss in hopes of recovering money lost in previous sessions.
3
You lie to family members or friends about how much time and money you spend on wagering activities.
4
You use money set aside for essential needs such as rent, bills, or food to wager with, intending to replace it later.
5
Betting has become your primary way of coping with stress, anxiety, loneliness, or emotional problems in everyday life.
6
You feel anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when you cannot play or when trying to take a short break.

Practices Responsible Gaming

In contrast, responsible players typically display the following positive patterns. Use these as a guide to evaluate your own gaming experience on the ibet platform.

✓
Play within a pre-set budget and stop when that budget runs out, without feeling pressured to continue.
✓
View money spent on wagering as an entertainment cost — like going to the cinema or dining out — not as an investment.
✓
Have other activities and hobbies in daily life that provide satisfaction and enjoyment outside of the gaming platform.
✓
Able to stop playing at any time without feeling compelled or drawn to continue, even after planning to stop.
✓
Relationships with family and friends remain healthy, and wagering does not affect your work, family, or social responsibilities.
✓
Open to discussing your betting activity with loved ones without shame, guilt, or the need to hide anything.

How Setting Limits in Your ibet Account

Setting self-control limits on ibet is straightforward and can be done in under two minutes. Just follow these simple steps.

Step 1 – Login
Log in to your iBet account using your username and password. Make sure you are on the official iBet website.
Step 2 – Account Settings
Go to the "Account Settings" or "Account Controls" section in your profile to view all available control options.
Step 3 – Select Limit
Choose the type of limit you want to set — deposit limit, time limit, loss limit, or a temporary break option — and enter the appropriate value.
Step 4 – Confirm
Confirm your selection. Limits take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period before it comes into effect.
Important Note: Reductions to betting limits or deposit limits take effect immediately once set. However, any request to increase limits or cancelling existing limits is subject to a 7-day cooling-off period to ensure you are making a considered decision rather than one driven by emotion.

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions by iBet players about responsible gaming and account controls.

Yes, you can set deposit limits, session time limits, and loss limits directly from the "Account Settings" section in your ibet profile without needing to contact customer support. Changes take effect immediately. If you need guidance, the ibet Live Chat team is available to assist you 24/7.

Time-Out is a short break lasting 24 hours to 30 days that you can activate yourself, and your account can be reactivated once the period ends. Self-Exclusion is a more permanent measure — your account is locked for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently, and you cannot reopen it or register a new account during that period. Self-Exclusion is suitable for those who feel they need a longer distance from the platform.

Any request to increase deposit limits or loss limits is subject to a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period before the change takes effect. This is a protective measure designed to ensure you are not making impulsive decisions in an emotional state. Reducing limits, on the other hand, takes effect immediately.

Yes, completely safe. Even while your account is locked during a self-exclusion period, any remaining funds in your ibet account are fully preserved and can be reclaimed through the standard withdrawal process once the exclusion period ends. Please contact the ibet support team to initiate your balance withdrawal.

ibet conducts a rigorous age verification (KYC) process during registration and before any withdrawal is processed. All players must verify their identity with official documents proving they are 21 years of age or older. Any account found to have been registered by an underage individual will be terminated immediately and the balance returned to the rightful owner.

In addition to ibet's 24/7 support, you can contact Befrienders Kuala Lumpur at 03-7627 2929 for emotional support. The National Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Agency (AADK) also provides free counselling for addiction-related issues, including problem gambling. Do not hesitate to seek help — it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
