Six Self-Control Tools Free at irace

All these tools are accessible directly within your account — activate them whenever you need.

Adjustable Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Once set, the limit takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Daily Loss Limit

You can set a maximum daily loss limit. Once this limit is reached, your gaming session will be automatically stopped to protect your account balance.

Session Playing Time Limit

Set a maximum session play duration from 30 minutes to several hours. The platform will remind you when the time limit is approaching and end your session when it expires.

Temporary Self-Break

Need a break? Activate self-break mode for 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom duration of your choice. While a break is active, you will not be able to log in to your account.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

For long-term protection, you may opt for permanent self-exclusion. This is a permanent decision that fully closes your access to the irace platform.

Minor Protection

Irace uses a two-step age verification process via KYC to ensure the platform cannot be accessed by individuals under 18 years of age under any circumstances.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means playing in a controlled, enjoyable way that does not negatively impact your daily life. It is not about avoiding play — it is about playing smart and within limits you set for yourself.

At irace, we believe a great entertainment platform is not just about offering fun games — it also takes responsibility for the well-being of its users. From day one, responsible gaming has never been an "add-on feature" — it is part of how irace operates.

Many of us play for entertainment — to unwind after work, add excitement to watching a sports match, or try our luck on an engaging slot game. As long as these activities do not interfere with your finances, relationships, or mental health, it is a healthy form of entertainment.

Problems begin when gaming starts to take over — when you play to relieve stress, chase past losses, or use money meant for other needs. irace provides tools and guidance to help you recognise these early signs and take action before things get more serious.

How to Play Responsibly at irace

Here are some practices we recommend to all irace members:

  • Set a play budget before starting a session and stick to it even when you are on a winning streak.
  • Think of the money you deposit as an entertainment cost — just like a movie ticket or a dinner out.
  • Never chase your losses. If you lose in a session, stop and try again another time.
  • Take regular breaks while playing — don't sit for hours without stopping.
  • Avoid playing when you feel stressed, angry, or are going through difficulties.
  • Never play with borrowed money or money needed for basic necessities.
  • Actively use the playing limit tools available in your account.

Understanding the Risks of Gambling

All forms of gambling carry an element of risk. Game outcomes depend on probability and a random number generator (RNG) that cannot be predicted. No strategy or system can guarantee wins in the long run.

Understanding this reality is the first step to playing responsibly. When you play with a clear mindset that every amount wagered may be lost, you are more likely to make smarter decisions and stay in control of your gaming.

irace Tip: Use the "Demo Mode" feature available in most of our slot games to practise and understand game mechanics without wagering real money.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

If you are experiencing any of the following signs, it may be time to take a break or seek help:

  • Playing longer or more than planned.
  • Hiding gaming activity from family or friends.
  • Chasing losses in hopes of a "comeback".
  • Playing with money meant for bills or daily necessities.
  • Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to play.
  • Failing to cut back or stop playing despite having resolved to do so.
  • Gaming is affecting your sleep, work, or personal relationships.

Self-Test: Am I Playing Responsibly?

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to contact the irace support team or use the self-exclusion tool.

1

Do you often play longer or spend more than you planned?

2

Have you ever lied to family or friends about how much time or money you have spent on gaming?

3

Do you play to escape problems, boredom, or uncomfortable feelings?

4

Have you ever used money set aside for basic needs (rent, food, bills) for gaming purposes?

5

Do you feel the urge to chase back money you lost in a previous session?

6

Do thoughts about playing interfere with your focus at work or in daily life?

FAQ – Responsible Gaming

You can reduce your deposit limit at any time and it takes effect immediately. However, if you wish to increase your deposit limit, there is a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the change takes effect — this protects you from impulsive decisions.

A self-break is a temporary option — you choose a duration from 24 hours to several months, and once that period ends, your account is reactivated. Permanent exclusion, on the other hand, is a final decision that closes your account for good. irace encourages you to think carefully before choosing permanent exclusion.

Your account balance is safe and preserved throughout your self-exclusion period. You can contact the irace support team to process a balance withdrawal even while your account is in self-exclusion mode — your money is always yours.

No. Setting play limits does not affect your eligibility to receive irace promotions and bonuses. You will still receive all offers as usual. irace respects your decision to play responsibly and will not penalise you in any way.

The irace support team is available 24/7 via live chat to assist you with self-control tools or any concerns. For dedicated help with gambling-related issues, we encourage you to reach out to professional counselling services available in Malaysia.
