The i8my Philosophy

Entertainment First, Not Just Profit

At i8my, we believe betting is a form of entertainment — much like watching the EPL or Malaysia Super League on weekends, or playing e-sports games with friends. It's meant to be fun and kept in check.

We also recognise that for some individuals, gambling can become more than just entertainment. That is why i8my invests seriously in its responsible gambling programme — not because we are required to, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every one of our members.

We want our players to still be i8my members five or ten years from now — and that can only happen if they play smart, within their means, without letting gambling interfere with their daily lives.

i8my's Core Principles

"Entertainment money is money you're comfortable losing without it affecting your bills, food, or savings. If you're playing beyond that limit, it's time to take a step back."

i8my's Commitment to Malaysian Players
  • We will not pressure players to deposit beyond the limits they have set for themselves.
  • We will not send promotions to players who have chosen to self-exclude.
  • We provide self-control tools that are easy to access and actually work — not just for show.
  • We train our support team to identify and assist players who show signs of problem gambling.
  • We do not allow individuals under the age of 18 to register or play on the i8my platform.
  • We conduct regular reviews to identify suspicious gameplay patterns and proactively reach out to the relevant members.
  • We provide easy access to help information and support organisations with no strings attached.
Self-Control Tools

6 Tools i8my Provides for You

All these tools are accessible directly from your account settings. No need to contact anyone — you are fully in control.

Daily / Weekly / Monthly Deposit Limit

Set the maximum amount you can deposit into your i8my account within a period of your choice. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased immediately — there is a 24-hour waiting period to prevent hasty decisions.

Active immediately
Daily Loss Limit

The i8my platform will automatically stop accepting bets from your account once your net losses within the set period have reached the limit you configured yourself.

Automatic Protection
Session Time Limit

Set the maximum amount of time you want to play in a single session. When the time is up, the system will automatically log you out and prompt you to take a break.

For a balanced lifestyle
Bet Limit Per Round

Set the maximum amount you can wager in a single round or bet. This helps you avoid making large, impulsive bets when you're feeling excited or frustrated.

Per-bet control
Temporary Break (Cool-off)

Need a short break? Activate a pause for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you won't be able to log in or play, and i8my will not send you any marketing communications.

A break with no conditions
Self-Exclusion

Long-term self-exclusion options for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. This is a more serious step and cannot be reversed until the minimum period has ended, even if you request it.

Long-term commitment
How to Activate Self-Control Tools

Log in to your i8my account → Click the profile icon in the top right corner → Select "Account Settings" → Navigate to the "Responsible Gambling" tab. All tools can be activated in under 2 minutes. If you need assistance, contact 24/7 live chat support.

Know the Warning Signs

Is Gambling Starting to Become a Problem?

Most people struggling with gambling problems don't recognise it in the early stages. It happens gradually. Go through the list below — if you identify with three or more of these, it may be time to talk to someone.

Gambling beyond planned limits
You intended to spend only RM 50, but ended up spending far more than that — repeatedly.
Gambling to "chase" losses
When you're losing, the urge to keep playing just to win back what you've lost is a very dangerous habit.
Borrowing money to gamble
You are using borrowed money, credit cards, or family savings to fund your betting.
Concealing gambling activity
You hide how much time or money you've spent gambling from your partner, family, or friends.
Gambling is affecting work and family
Personal relationships, work performance, or family responsibilities start to suffer because of time spent gambling.
Feeling restless when not gambling
You feel anxious, irritable, or unable to focus when you can't access the gambling platform.
Test Yourself

Quick Self-Assessment Questionnaire

Answer the following questions honestly with yourself. There are no right or wrong answers — this is simply to help you assess your relationship with gambling.

1
In the past month, have you ever gambled more than you planned to?
2
Have you ever tried to stop gambling but couldn't?
3
Has gambling ever caused you financial difficulties?
4
Has someone close to you ever expressed concern about your gambling habits?
5
Do you gamble as a way to escape problems or uncomfortable feelings?

Practical Guide

7 Steps to Responsible Gaming at i8my

These tips aren't just theory — they are real practices that help Malaysian players enjoy i8my as a long-term form of entertainment.

1
Set a Fixed Entertainment Budget
Before logging in, decide how much you are comfortable spending as entertainment — treat it the same as a budget for dining out or catching a movie. Use only disposable income, not money set aside for essential needs.
2
Activate Limits on the i8my Platform
Use the deposit limit and loss limit tools available in your account settings. These ensure your budget is enforced automatically, even when you get caught up in the excitement of playing.
3
Understand How the Games Work
All casino games — from slots and baccarat to roulette — are designed with a house edge. In the long run, the house always wins. Play for fun, not as a source of income.
4
Take Regular Breaks
Avoid sitting and playing for hours on end without a break. Get up, drink some water, or do something else. Excessively long sessions lead to poor decisions and uncontrolled betting.
5
Don't Chase Losses
This is the most common trap. If you've already lost for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to even bigger losses.
6
Avoid Playing When You're Not in the Right Headspace
Do not gamble when you are stressed, angry, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. An unstable emotional state impairs rational judgement.
7
Talk to Someone If You Need To
If you feel gambling is starting to become a problem, don't put off getting help. Reach out to i8my support or consult professional help resources. No one will judge you.

What We Do

How i8my Implements Responsible Gaming

This isn't just policy on paper. Every one of these commitments is actively enforced in i8my's day-to-day operations.

Strict Age Verification

Every new registration on i8my goes through an age verification process using MyKad. Individuals under 18 will not be able to register or access any part of the platform.

Active Pattern Monitoring

The i8my system automatically monitors betting patterns. Players showing at-risk signs will receive proactive communication from our team and be encouraged to use the available self-control tools.

Dedicated Trained Team

All i8my customer support staff receive specialised training in identifying and assisting players who may be experiencing gambling problems — without judgement and with full empathy.

No Aggressive Marketing

I8my does not use high-pressure marketing tactics or send promotions to players who have set limits or applied for self-exclusion. These marketing restrictions are enforced technically, not just as policy.

Annual Independent Audit

I8my's responsible gambling programme is independently audited every year by a qualified third party to ensure all tools and policies are working exactly as promised to our members.

Real-Time Reminders

A running display of your elapsed session time is shown continuously while you play. Reminder notifications are sent automatically once you have played beyond the duration you have set.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Log in to your i8my account and go to "Account Settings". Under the "Responsible Gambling" tab, you'll find all self-control options including daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits. Set a limit you're comfortable with and click save. Limits take effect immediately. To lower a limit, the change is applied right away. To raise a limit, there is a 24-hour waiting period as an added safety measure.

No. This is a key feature of self-exclusion — it cannot be cancelled before the minimum period ends, regardless of the reason given. This is intentional, to protect you from impulsive decisions made under pressure. Once the minimum period is over, you will need to actively contact i8my support to request account reinstatement — it does not happen automatically.

A Cool-off is a short-term break option ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. It is suitable if you just need a little time to step back. Self-Exclusion, on the other hand, is a more serious commitment — from 6 months to permanent — and cannot be reversed immediately. If you feel that gambling is becoming a serious problem, Self-Exclusion is the more appropriate choice.

Yes, completely safe. During the self-exclusion period, you cannot play or make new deposits, but the existing balance in your account is not affected. You may contact i8my support at any time during the exclusion period to request a withdrawal of your balance to your Malaysian bank account or eWallet.

The i8my system monitors various indicators such as sudden spikes in deposit amounts, play patterns during unusual hours (such as midnight to dawn), excessively long sessions, and repeated "chasing losses" patterns. When these indicators are triggered, our team will reach out to the relevant player via email or in-platform notification to offer assistance and remind them of the available self-control tools.

No. All interactions related to responsible gambling are strictly confidential. If you seek help through i8my support regarding a gambling problem, that information will not be shared with any third party, employer, or family member without your consent. Please refer to the i8my Privacy Policy for more details on how your personal data is protected.
