Six Key Features of IPO138 Responsible Gaming

All these tools are accessible directly through your account settings on the ipo138 web platform or mobile app – no need to contact support first.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum deposit amount you want to add in a day or a week. Once the limit is reached, the ipo138 system will automatically block additional deposits until the limit period resets.

Session Time Limit

Choose how long you want to play in a single session – 30 minutes, 1 hour, or your own custom duration. ipo138 will display time reminders and automatically close the session when time is up.

Adjustable Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit for a specific time period. This helps you avoid chasing losses, which can impact your finances and emotional wellbeing in the long run.

Cool-Off Period

Choose to take a break from the ipo138 platform for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a duration of your choice. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or make any transactions.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, the self-exclusion option allows you to close access to your account for a period ranging from 6 months to permanently. This is the most decisive step available.

Promotions & Notifications Control

Choose to opt out of bonus offers, promotional notifications, or marketing messages that may encourage unplanned betting. Full control is in your hands.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means you play in a controlled manner, fully aware of the risks, and always within your financial means. It is not just a slogan – it is how ipo138 ensures every member enjoys a positive and sustainable gaming experience without affecting their daily life.

At ipo138, we see online gaming as a form of entertainment — much like watching a film or attending a concert. Entertainment should be enjoyed within healthy boundaries. When betting starts to take over your financial decisions, personal relationships, or mental well-being, that is the moment to pause and seek help.

As a platform trusted by hundreds of thousands of members in Malaysia, ipo138 takes this social responsibility seriously. We invest in systems, staff training, and awareness campaigns so that a responsible gaming culture becomes part of our platform's DNA – not just a box to tick.

Core Principles: Betting is paid entertainment – not a way to earn income, not a solution to financial problems, and not an escape from life's pressures. Keep it something you enjoy, not something you depend on.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Problem gambling can develop gradually without you noticing. It typically starts with small changes in your playing habits and worsens if not addressed early. Recognise these signs and act quickly if you see them in yourself or a loved one.

Important: Recognising the problem is the single bravest first step. There is no shame in asking for help – it is a sign of strength, not weakness.

  • Wagering money you cannot afford to lose – using rent money, bill payments, or emergency savings to gamble
  • Chasing losses – continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already lost
  • Lying about gambling habits – hiding the amount of money spent from family or friends
  • Neglecting responsibilities – work, family, or health begins to be neglected due to time spent gambling
  • Feeling restless or irritable when unable to play or forced to stop
  • Borrowing money to gamble or to repay debts incurred through gambling
  • Gaming becomes the only source of happiness – losing interest in other activities you once enjoyed
  • Thinking about gambling obsessively – planning the next session even while in a meeting or spending time with family

If you identify two or more of the signs above in yourself, please take action now. Use the self-exclusion tool at ipo138, talk to someone you trust, or reach out to the available support lines.

How to Use the Control Tools at IPO138

All ipo138 self-control tools are designed to be easily accessible and take effect immediately. Here are the steps to use each control tool through our platform.

1

Log In to Your Account

Access your ipo138 account via the website or mobile app. Make sure you are logged in with the correct credentials before proceeding to the self-control settings.

2

Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.

3

Choose the Control Tools You Need

You will see a full list of control tools: deposit limit, time limit, loss limit, self-break, and self-exclusion. Choose whichever suits your needs.

4

Set Parameters and Confirm

Enter the value or time period you want. The ipo138 system will request confirmation before the limit is enforced. Stricter limits take effect immediately.

5

Receive Email Confirmation

Ipo138 sends a confirmation email to your registered address whenever a self-exclusion limit is set or changed. Keep these records for your reference.

Important Note: Stricter limits (e.g., reducing your deposit limit) take effect immediately. Requests to relax a limit, however, require a 7-day waiting period as an added layer of protection for you.

Self-Assessment – An Honest Q&A

Answer the questions below honestly. This is not a right-or-wrong test — it is a personal reflection tool to help you understand your relationship with gambling. The more "yes" answers you give, the more important it is to take action.

1
Have you ever wagered money that was meant for daily necessities such as food, rent, or bills?
2
Have you ever lied to your partner, family, or friends about how much you spend on gambling?
3
Do you feel the need to increase your wagering amount to get the same level of excitement as before?
4
Have you ever tried to stop gambling but failed despite your intention to do so?
5
Has gambling caused conflict or tension in your relationships with loved ones?
6
Have you ever borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your gambling?
7
Do you gamble as a way to escape problems, work stress, or uncomfortable feelings?
8
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or stressed when you try to cut down or stop gambling?

If you answered "yes" to 3 or more questions: We encourage you to use the self-exclusion tool at ipo138 and speak with a professional. This is not a punishment — it is a brave step toward a healthier and more balanced life.

Child Protection & Vulnerable Persons
