Commitment IPO138 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

For ipo138, responsible gaming is not merely an obligation — it is a core value we uphold in every business decision and in the design of our platform.

Online gaming should be a fun source of entertainment — not stress. ipo138 understands that not everyone has the same relationship with gaming, and some individuals may struggle to manage their playing habits. That is why we have developed a comprehensive suite of tools and policies to ensure every member can enjoy our platform in a healthy and controlled way.

We believe the enjoyment of playing Slots, Bingo, or Sports Betting should come from the experience itself — not from pressure to win or to chase back losses. By understanding healthy gaming habits, you can enjoy every session with greater calm and control.

Our Core Principles
ipo138 is committed to not marketing our services to individuals vulnerable to problem gambling, minors, or those currently under a self-exclusion period. Every product decision we make places member wellbeing as a top priority.
Adjustable Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and requires a waiting period to increase — giving you real, meaningful protection rather than a symbolic one.

Play Time Limit Reminder

The ipo138 platform can automatically remind you when your session duration has exceeded the limit you set. This feature helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing without constantly watching the clock.

Breaks & Temporary Pauses

Feel like you need a short break? Use the Temporary Break feature to pause access to your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place any wagers.

Self-Exclusion

For members who need a more serious measure, the self-exclusion option allows you to close account access for a minimum period of 6 months up to permanently. This process cannot be reversed until the period ends to protect your commitment.

Promotional Material Restriction

You can choose to opt out of receiving any promotional emails, bonuses, or special offers from ipo138. This helps reduce the urge to play and allows you to make decisions more freely without marketing influence.

Expert Support & Resources

Ipo138's specially trained support team is available 24/7. We also provide links to professional support organisations in Malaysia for members who need additional help beyond the platform.

Tools Self-Control What We Offer

All self-control tools below are accessible directly from your account settings page. No need to contact anyone — full control is in your hands.

Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit into your account per day, week, or month. This limit is automatically enforced by the system.

Loss Limit

Set the maximum loss amount you are willing to absorb within a given period. Once this limit is reached, the system will temporarily halt your wagering activity.

Session Time Limit

Limit the duration of each gaming session. The system will send an alert when the time limit is nearly reached and will automatically log you out when the session ends.

Voluntary Break

Take a short break of 1 day to 6 weeks. This option is suitable if you feel gaming has become a habit you need to break for a while.

Long-Term Self-Exclusion

For a more serious commitment — close your account for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. These periods cannot be shortened once activated.

Recognise Warning Signs Problem Gambling

Recognising early warning signs is a crucial first step. Review this list honestly — not to judge yourself, but to help you make informed decisions.

Important Warning
If you identify with three or more of the following signs, we strongly encourage you to use ipo138's self-control tools or seek professional help immediately.
1

You regularly play longer or spend more than you originally planned.

2

You play to "chase back" losses, which often leads to even greater losses.

3

Gaming activity is starting to interfere with your work, family, or social responsibilities.

4

You hide your gaming activity or the amount of money spent from your loved ones.

5

You feel anxious, irritable, or uncomfortable when you are unable to play for a period of time.

6

You borrow money or dip into essential savings — such as rent or bill money — for gaming.

7

Gaming has become your primary way of coping with stress, sadness, or boredom in daily life.

8

You have tried multiple times to stop or cut back on gaming but have been unable to do so.

9

You feel guilty or ashamed after a gaming session but keep coming back despite promising yourself you won't.

Test Yourself: Is Gaming Still in Control?

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. There are no right or wrong answers — this is a personal reflection tool to help you assess your relationship with gaming.

Am I playing for entertainment or to make money?
Can I stop playing whenever I want without feeling pressured?
Is my gaming budget within my financial means?
Do my loved ones know about my gaming activity?
Is gaming taking up time that should go to other activities?
How do I feel after a loss — can I accept it?
Healthy Play Tips
Smart players set a playing budget in advance, accept that losses are part of the game, and never use money needed for essential expenses on gaming.

Guide Play Responsibly

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you are willing to lose before starting a session. Treat this amount as an entertainment cost — just like a movie ticket or a restaurant dinner.

Limit Your Play Time

Set a session duration and stick to it. Use phone reminders or the time limit feature on the ipo138 platform to help you stay on schedule.

Accept Outcomes Calmly

Wins and losses are part of gaming. Avoid playing when you are emotionally unstable or when trying to recover from a recent loss.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen, drink some water, and get some fresh air. Regular breaks help you make better decisions and prevent decision fatigue.

Never Play With Borrowed Money

This is the most important rule. Only use surplus funds that will not affect your daily life even if lost entirely.

Question Common Responsible Gaming

Answers to the most frequently asked questions about responsible gaming at ipo138.

Log in to your ipo138 account, then go to Account Settings and select the "Game Controls" section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Enter your desired amount and click save — the limit takes effect immediately.

No. Self-exclusion is designed to provide robust protection. Once activated, it cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed. This is an intentional safety feature to safeguard your commitment. After the period ends, you must submit a manual request to reactivate your account, and an additional waiting period applies as further protection.

Contact the ipo138 support team via 24/7 live chat for guidance. We can help you understand the options available. Additionally, encourage your family member to open up and seek help from a professional counsellor. Remember that family support plays a vital role in a person's recovery.

Absolutely not. ipo138 only accepts members aged 18 and above. During registration, we conduct strict age verification and KYC (Know Your Customer) checks. Any account found to belong to an underage individual will be closed immediately and all funds returned. Protecting minors from gambling is our absolute priority.

To reduce a deposit limit, changes take effect immediately with no waiting period. However, to increase a deposit limit, a mandatory waiting period of 24 to 72 hours applies depending on the limit type. This policy is designed to give you time to think before making a decision that could affect your financial discipline.

In Malaysia, you can contact Talian Kasih 15999, which operates 24 hours a day, for free counselling. You can also seek help from Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta or Hospital Permai Johor Bahru, both of which provide addiction treatment services. The ipo138 support team can also direct you to these resources via our live chat.
