gan98 was founded with a single conviction: Indonesian players deserve a world-class online betting experience built around their language, their local payment infrastructure, and their sporting passions — without compromise on security, fairness, or service quality.
Who We Are
gan98 began as a response to a genuine gap in the Indonesian online betting market. For years, Indonesian players had to choose between international platforms that offered no local payment support and substandard local operators that cut corners on game fairness, security, and customer service. gan98 was built to be neither — it is an international-grade platform engineered specifically for Indonesia's unique market realities.
From day one, our product and technology teams focused on three non-negotiables: seamless IDR transactions via the bank accounts and e-wallets that Indonesian players already use every day (BCA, BRI, BNI, Mandiri, OVO, DANA, GoPay), a game library sourced exclusively from internationally certified studios (Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, PG Soft, NetEnt, Microgaming), and a security infrastructure that matches the encryption standards of Indonesia's major banks.
gan98 has grown into a platform trusted by players across the entire Indonesian archipelago — from Jakarta and Surabaya on Java, to Medan in North Sumatra, to Makassar in South Sulawesi, to Denpasar in Bali. Our sportsbook is calibrated for the sports that Indonesian players care about most: BRI Liga 1 (with clubs like Persija Jakarta, Persib Bandung, and Bali United), Timnas Indonesia Garuda international matches, the EPL, La Liga, Champions League, and the rising world of Mobile Legends MPL and other E-sports.
Responsible gaming is not a footnote in our business model — it is central to how we operate. gan98 provides every registered member with the tools to control their activity: deposit limits, session time reminders, self-exclusion options, and a 24/7 support team trained to identify and assist players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties. We believe the long-term health of our platform depends on the long-term wellbeing of our community.
"We built gan98 for the Indonesian player who expects the same quality from their betting platform as they expect from their mobile banking app — fast, secure, local, and always on."
— gan98 Founding TeamOur Journey
Phase 1 — Foundation
Platform Architecture & Local Integration
The core gan98 platform was designed from scratch with Indonesian banking integration as a first-class requirement, not an afterthought. BCA and BRI instant-transfer deposits were live from the first day of public access. The initial game library featured over 200 titles from three certified studios.
Phase 2 — Growth
Sportsbook Launch & E-Wallet Expansion
The gan98 Sportsbook went live with full coverage of BRI Liga 1, EPL, La Liga, and Champions League. OVO, DANA, GoPay, and ShopeePay e-wallet integrations were added, bringing the total supported payment methods to ten. Live in-play betting was introduced for Indonesian football and badminton events.
Phase 3 — Expansion
Live Casino & 1,000-Title Slots Lobby
Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play Live dealer studios were integrated, bringing HD-streamed baccarat, roulette, blackjack, and Dragon Tiger tables to Indonesian players for the first time on a locally-optimised platform. The slots lobby expanded to over 1,000 titles. The online poker room opened with cash games and scheduled tournament events.
Phase 4 — Present
Mobile-First Redesign & 24/7 Support Team
The entire gan98 interface was rebuilt with a mobile-first design philosophy, optimised for Chrome on Android — the dominant browser across Indonesia. A dedicated 24/7 Indonesian-speaking live support team was established, ensuring that every member, from Sabang to Merauke, receives prompt assistance in their preferred language at any hour of the day.
What Drives Us
Every decision at gan98 — from which game studios we partner with, to how quickly we process withdrawals, to how our support team is trained — flows directly from these foundational principles.
Every gan98 account session is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same standard used by BCA and Mandiri for their mobile banking apps. We do not store passwords in recoverable form and we offer two-factor authentication to every member.
Every game in the gan98 library is sourced from internationally regulated studios. We do not host any in-house or unaudited titles. Provably fair mechanics and independently certified RNG (random number generation) are non-negotiable requirements for any studio we partner with.
Winning is only meaningful if you can access your funds quickly. gan98 processes withdrawals to BCA, BRI, BNI, and Mandiri accounts within 30 minutes of finance team approval. E-wallet withdrawals to OVO, DANA, and GoPay are typically instant.
gan98 is built around the specific sporting passions of the Indonesian community — BRI Liga 1, Timnas Indonesia Garuda matches, badminton at the All England and Thomas Cup, and the exploding E-sports scene. Our product roadmap is shaped by direct player feedback from our membership base.
We are committed to providing every member with the tools they need to keep gambling an enjoyable, controlled leisure activity. Deposit limits, session timers, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion are available to all players at no cost and with no bureaucratic delay.
Our 24/7 live support team includes native Indonesian-speaking agents available around the clock across all Indonesian time zones — WIB, WITA, and WIT. Whether you are in Jakarta or Papua, help is never more than a live chat message away.
Why Choose gan98
Hundreds of online betting platforms exist. Here is why Indonesian players consistently choose gan98 as their primary platform for sports betting, live casino, slots, baccarat, and online poker.
Your entire experience at gan98 — from deposit to play to withdrawal — is denominated in Indonesian Rupiah. No currency conversion, no hidden forex margins, no credit-to-cash calculation confusion. What you deposit is what you play with, and what you win is what you withdraw, straight to your Indonesian bank account or e-wallet.
The gan98 game library spans live dealer casino (Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play Live), video slots (PG Soft, NetEnt, Microgaming, Habanero), a full baccarat section, and a real-money poker room — all from studios that are independently audited for RNG fairness and return-to-player (RTP) accuracy.
Our sportsbook is built around the sports Indonesians love most. BRI Liga 1 match lines are published as soon as fixtures are confirmed. Timnas Indonesia international matches receive dedicated promotional treatment. Badminton, MotoGP at Mandalika, and Mobile Legends MPL are covered alongside EPL, La Liga, and Champions League.
The entire gan98 platform runs in your mobile browser — no APK download, no app store search, no storage space required. The interface is fully optimised for Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS, with load times under two seconds on standard Indonesian 4G networks from Telkomsel, XL, Indosat, and Smartfren.
Our promotions calendar is aligned with the events that matter to Indonesian players — special bonus offers during Ramadhan and Idul Fitri, reload promotions on BRI Liga 1 match days, seasonal cashback tied to Indonesian Independence Day (17 August), and E-sports tournament specials aligned with MPL season schedules.
gan98's security infrastructure operates at the same encryption tier as Indonesia's major retail banks. All login sessions use 256-bit SSL. Account credentials are hashed using industry-standard algorithms. Automated anomaly detection flags suspicious login attempts from unrecognised devices before any account access is granted.
Trust & Safety
Trust is the foundation of every relationship gan98 has with its members. We understand that depositing real Indonesian Rupiah into an online platform requires confidence — confidence that the games are fair, that your winnings will be paid, that your personal data is protected, and that help is available if something goes wrong.
gan98 is licensed and regulated internationally. All game outcomes are determined by certified random number generators that are independently audited. Our payment processing partners are institutional-grade financial service providers with established operations across Southeast Asia. We publish our terms and conditions, privacy policy, and responsible gaming guidelines in clear, accessible English so that every member fully understands the rules of the platform before they deposit a single Rupiah.
Our Audience
The gan98 platform is designed specifically for the Indonesian betting community — English-preference players who expect international-brand quality but need a platform that understands local realities: local bank accounts, local sporting events, local time zones, and local cultural touchpoints.
Our member base spans every major Indonesian city and region. In Jakarta and Bandung, our live casino and baccarat tables are most popular. In Surabaya and Medan, the sportsbook — particularly BRI Liga 1 lines — drives the most engagement. In Bali and Yogyakarta, slots and the poker room attract a strong leisure-player community. Across Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and eastern Indonesia, our mobile-optimised platform and lightweight page architecture ensure that even players on slower rural connections can access the full gan98 experience without frustration.
We are particularly proud of serving the segment of Indonesian players who play games like togel (Indonesia's traditional numbers lottery) and follow bandar bola (sports bookmaker) markets — players who have historically been underserved by international platforms that did not understand the nuance of Indonesia's betting culture. gan98 speaks their language, supports their payment methods, and covers the events they care about.
