Tools Self-Control What We Offer

Ime88 provides a range of self-control tools free of charge to all members. These tools are specifically designed to help you stay in control and enjoy a healthy, responsible gaming experience.

Daily / Weekly Deposit Limit

Set your own deposit limits based on your financial capacity. You can set daily, weekly or monthly limits directly through your account settings. Limits take effect immediately and require a 24-hour cooling-off period to increase, ensuring your financial decisions are made calmly and rationally.

Session Time Limit

Control how long you play each session. The time reminder feature will notify you when your set time limit is approaching. This helps you maintain a healthy balance between online entertainment and the more important activities in your daily life.

Cool-Off

Need a short break? Use the cool-off feature to block access to your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days. During the break period, you will not be able to log in or place any bets, giving you the space to think and refresh your mind.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel the need to stop completely for a longer period, you can apply for self-exclusion for 6 months, 1 year or permanently. During this period, your account will be fully blocked and we will not send you any marketing communications.

Maximum Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit you are comfortable with for any given period. Once this limit is reached, our system will automatically block your wagering activity for that period. This ensures you never lose more than you can afford.

Periodic Self-Assessment

Ime88 periodically sends self-assessment reports to members as a friendly reminder about their playing habits. These brief reports display your play time, total deposits, and activity patterns, helping you make smarter and more informed gaming decisions.

1 What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying betting and online gaming purely as a form of entertainment — not as a source of income, a way to relieve stress, or a mechanism to resolve financial problems. At ime88, we always remind members that winning and losing are both part of the gaming experience, and it is important to accept both with an open heart.

Responsible gaming starts with understanding that every game on our platform runs on a certified Random Number Generator (RNG), meaning the outcome of every round is completely random and cannot be predicted or manipulated. Understanding this fact is the first step to playing smart.

At ime88, we take a proactive approach to ensuring our members play within their means — not merely to meet regulatory requirements, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every individual in our community.

Remember: Online gaming should be fun and entertaining. If you start feeling stressed, anxious or angry while playing, that is a sign you need to stop and take a break.

2 Core Principles of Smart Play

Before you start playing at ime88, take a moment to understand and embrace the following core responsible gaming principles. These are not just advice — they are best practices followed by experienced players across Malaysia:

  • Set a clear budget before playing. Decide in advance how much money you are willing to spend on entertainment and stick to that limit regardless of game outcomes. Money allocated for entertainment should not affect basic needs such as rent, utility bills, food or your children's education.
  • Set a realistic time limit. Use the session time limit feature in your ime88 account and stick to it. Take regular breaks during your gaming session to maintain focus and mental balance.
  • Don't chase your losses. This is one of the most common traps in gaming. When you experience losses, the natural human instinct is to "chase back" the money lost by continuing to play. Break this habit — the outcome of the next game is not influenced by previous games.
  • Play in a positive state of mind. Avoid playing when you are stressed, sad, angry, or under the influence of alcohol. An unstable emotional state affects your judgment and can lead you to place unwise bets.
  • Treat money wagered as the cost of entertainment. Just as you pay to watch a movie or visit a theme park, money spent on gaming is a cost of entertainment — not an investment expected to generate returns.
  • Balance it with other activities. Make sure online gaming is only a small part of your leisure time. Stay active in social activities, sports, hobbies and family time.

3 Recognise the Signs of Problem Gambling

Identifying early signs of a gambling problem is a crucial step in protecting yourself and your loved ones. Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of background, education level or financial status. Here are the warning signs to watch out for:

Thinking About Gambling All the Time

Frequently thinking about how to get money to play, planning the next gaming session, or obsessively recalling past gaming experiences.

Need to Wager More

Needing to continuously increase the amount wagered to achieve the same level of excitement, similar to addiction tolerance.

Unable to Stop Despite Trying

Having tried to cut down or stop gambling multiple times without success, or feeling restless and irritable when not playing.

Using Essential Funds

Using money meant for bills, food, rent or family needs for gambling, or borrowing money to play.

Lying to Loved Ones

Hiding gambling activity, lying about the amount of money spent or time devoted to playing from family or friends.

Using Gambling as an Escape

Gambling to escape problems, stress, guilt, anxiety, or depression — using gambling as a way to cope with negative emotions.

If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, please contact the ime88 support team or seek professional help immediately. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

4 Self-Assessment: Are You Playing Responsibly?

Answer the following brief questions honestly to assess whether your gaming habits are at a healthy level. This is not a clinical test, but it gives you an early indication of your relationship with gambling:

1

Have you ever gambled longer or spent more money than you originally planned?

2

Have you ever lied to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling?

3

Has gambling ever caused you to neglect work, studies, or family responsibilities?

4

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

5

Do you feel stressed, anxious, or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling?

6

Have you ever used money set aside for daily necessities (bills, food, rent) for gambling?

7

Do you frequently think about ways to get more money to continue gambling?

8

Do you gamble to escape problems or uncomfortable feelings such as depression or anxiety?

Assessment: If you answered "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to speak with someone you trust or contact the ime88 support team for further guidance. Professional help is always available.

5 Child and Minor Protection

Ime88 has a zero-tolerance policy toward underage participation in any wagering activity on our platform. The minimum age to register and play at ime88 is 18 years old. We implement multiple layers of checks to ensure this age requirement is fully complied with:

  • Strict identity document verification (KYC): All new members are required to submit a valid copy of their identity card or passport for verification before making any deposit or withdrawal.
  • Age verification during registration: Our system verifies the date of birth entered and cross-checks it against the identity document submitted.
  • Suspicious activity monitoring: Our team actively monitors accounts showing signs of being operated by minors.

If you are a parent or guardian concerned that your child may be accessing online gambling sites, we recommend using parental control software and having an open conversation with your child about the dangers of underage gambling.

Report Abuse: If you suspect an ime88 account is being used by an underage individual, please report it to us immediately via email at [email protected]. We will investigate and take immediate action.

6 How to Use the Self-Control Tools at ime88

All self-control tools at ime88 are accessible directly through your account without needing to contact customer support. Here is a quick guide to using these tools:

  • Log in to your ime88 account and go to the "Account Settings" or "Responsible Gaming" section.
  • Choose the tool you need — deposit limits, time limits, temporary breaks, or self-exclusion.
  • Set the parameters that suit you such as limit amounts or time periods, according to your needs.
  • Confirm your selection. Reduced limits take effect immediately, while increased limits require a 24–72 hour cooling-off period to ensure your decision is final.
  • Review your settings periodically to ensure it still suits your current circumstances.

If you need assistance using any of the self-control tools, our 24/7 support team is ready to help you via live chat or email. No question is too small when it concerns your well-being.

7 FAQ – Responsible Gaming

The first step is acknowledging there is a problem — and that takes real courage. Reach out to the ime88 support team via live chat or email at [email protected] for initial assistance. You can also use the self-exclusion tool in your account to temporarily block gaming access while you seek professional help.

No, self-exclusion cannot be cancelled before the set period ends. This is a deliberately designed protective measure to ensure you get the full break you need. Once the exclusion period expires, you must actively contact our support team to reactivate your account — this process includes a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Yes, completely. All information related to your self-control and self-exclusion requests is protected under the ime88 Privacy Policy and will not be disclosed to any third party. Our team handles every request with the utmost respect and confidentiality.

Log in to your account, go to "Account Settings" and find the "Responsible Gaming" section. There you will find options to set daily, weekly and monthly deposit limits. Enter your desired limit amount and confirm. Limit decreases take effect immediately, while limit increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Not at all. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is automatically removed from all marketing and promotional mailing lists. We will not send any offers, bonus notices, or communications encouraging you to return during the active exclusion period.
