Wirabet's Approach to Responsible Gambling
Gambling is a form of entertainment — like watching the EPL, a night out in Bangsar, or enjoying a weekend at Resorts World Genting. The key word is entertainment. When gambling starts to feel like a financial strategy, a coping mechanism, or something you can't stop thinking about, that's the moment to use the tools on this page.
Wirabet has invested in a suite of responsible gambling tools available free of charge to all registered users. These tools are not hidden in a sub-menu — they are core to how the platform operates. Players in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Petaling Jaya and everywhere else in Malaysia can activate any of them instantly through account settings or by contacting support.
Wirabet's commitment: We will always process self-exclusion or deposit limit request on the same day it is submitted. No delays, no friction.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can add to your Wirabet account. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased without a mandatory48-hour cooling-off period — protecting you from impulse decisions.
Available NowSession Time Limits
Configure a maximum session duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or custom. When your session limit is reached, Wirabet will log you out automatically and show summary of your session activity.
Available NowLoss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. When you approach your threshold, Wirabet sends a notification. When the limit is reached, further betting is temporarily paused until the period resets.
Available NowSelf-Exclusion
Request a temporary pause or permanent closure of your Wirabet account. Exclusion periods range from 1 week to 12 months or indefinitely. All marketing communications are suspended immediately upon activation.
Available NowReality Check Reminders
Enable on-screen pop-ups at regular intervals (every 15, 30 or 60 minutes) to remind you how long you have been playing and how your balance has changed during the session.
Available NowCooling-Off Period
Not ready for a full exclusion but need a short break? A cooling-off pause allows you to suspend your account for 24 hours up to 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in or place any wager.
Available NowWhen Gambling Becomes a Problem
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It tends to develop gradually, with early warning signs that are easy to dismiss or rationalise. The list below is not a diagnosis — it is a set of honest questions. If several of these resonate with you, please consider using the support tools on this page or reaching out for independent help.
-
Chasing losses — depositing more to win back money you've already lost, rather than treating losses as the cost of entertainment.
-
Gambling beyond your means — betting with rent, bill payments, or borrowed money; consistently spending more than you planned.
-
Secrecy and dishonesty — hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya or wherever you are based.
-
Preoccupation — thinking about gambling during work, meals, or other activities; frequently planning the next session.
-
Unsuccessful attempts to stop — deciding to quit or reduce gambling but being unable to follow through consistently.
-
Emotional reliance — using gambling to relieve stress, boredom, anxiety or low mood rather than for recreation.
-
Neglecting responsibilities — missing work, failing to meet financial obligations, or withdrawing from relationships because of gambling.
Honest Questions to Ask Yourself
These questions are adapted from widely used gambling self-assessment frameworks. Answer honestly — your answers are not shared with Wirabet or any third party.
Have you ever bet more than you could comfortably afford to lose in a single session?
Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts over time to get the same level of excitement?
Have you felt irritable, restless or anxious when you tried to cut down or stop gambling?
Have you returned to gambling the day after a loss, trying to recover what you lost?
Have you lied to family members or others about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Have you gambled to escape problems, worry, or feelings of helplessness, guilt, or depression?
Has gambling caused serious financial difficulty for you or your household?
Setting Deposit Limits That Work for You
Setting a deposit limit before you start playing is one of the most effective responsible gambling tools available. It removes the temptation to top up impulsively during a session and ensures that your gambling stays within a pre-planned budget.
Wirabet allows limits to be set in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. For example, a player might set a monthly deposit cap of RM 500 — roughly the cost of a night out in KL each month. Once that amount is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets.
Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 48-hour waiting period — this friction is intentional and designed to protect players from reactive decisions made during or after a session.
Reducing Limit
Immediate effect — takes effect the moment you save the change.
Increasing Limit
48-hour wait — mandatory cooling-off before the increase is applied.
How to Exclude Yourself from Wirabet
Self-exclusion is the strongest player protection tool available. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is fully restricted — you cannot log in, make deposits, or place any bets for the duration of your chosen exclusion period.
Contact Wirabet Support
Reach the support team via live chat on the Wirabet platform (available 24/7) or by emailing [email protected]. State clearly that you want to activate self-exclusion.
Choose Your Exclusion Period
Select the period that suits your needs:1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, or indefinite permanent exclusion.
Verification
Wirabet may ask you to confirm your account details to prevent accidental exclusions. This step typically takes less than 5 minutes.
Immediate Activation
Your exclusion is activated the same day — usually within the hour. All promotional emails and SMS are suspended immediately.
Returning After Exclusion
After a temporary exclusion period ends, Wirabet may require a short re-activation process and24-hour cool-down before full account access is restored.
Available Exclusion Options
All exclusion periods are available to any Wirabet player, at any time, free of charge. No reason needs to be given — your request will be processed promptly.
| Duration | Type | Marketing Suspended | Reactivation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Week | Cooling-off | Yes | After 7 days + 24h cool-down |
| 1 Month | Short-term exclusion | Yes | After 30 days + 24h cool-down |
| 3 Months | Medium-term exclusion | Yes | After 90 days + 24h cool-down |
| 6 Months | Extended exclusion | Yes | After 180 days + 24h cool-down |
| 12 Months | Long-term exclusion | Yes | After 365 days + 24h cool-down |
| Indefinite | Permanent closure | Yes | Contact support to review after min. 6 months |
Important: Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed before the selected period expires. Wirabet will not accept requests to reinstate a self-excluded account early under any circumstances. This rule exists to protect you.
