Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming

gan98 believes that betting should always be entertaining — never a source of financial stress or personal hardship. Our responsible gaming programme provides every Member with a comprehensive set of tools, resources, and safeguards to keep play enjoyable, controlled, and firmly within personal limits.

Gaming That Stays in Control

At gan98, responsible gaming is not a checkbox — it is a core operational principle embedded into every layer of our platform. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent, and fair environment for all Members across Indonesia, from Jakarta to Surabaya, Bandung to Bali. The tools below are available free of charge to every registered Member at any time.

Mandatory Age Verification

Every new Member must pass our KYC identity verification process before depositing or withdrawing funds. We require a valid government-issued ID — such as an Indonesian KTP or passport — and a liveness selfie to confirm you are aged 21 or above. No exceptions are made. Accounts that fail age verification are permanently suspended and any deposits are returned to source.

Deposit Limit Controls

Members can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from their Account dashboard. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a mandatory 48-hour cooling-off period. This cooling-off window ensures that limit increases are deliberate decisions, not impulse reactions. Reducing or removing a limit takes effect immediately — lowering your limit is always instant.

Session Time Limits

Lose track of time at the tables? Set a maximum session duration — from 30 minutes to 8 hours — and gan98 will display an on-screen reminder when your chosen time is approaching. Once the session limit is reached, you will be logged out automatically. Session limits reset every calendar day and can be adjusted in Account Settings at any time, subject to the same cooling-off rules as deposit limits.

Time-Out Periods

If you need a short break from betting, a time-out places a temporary freeze on your gan98 account — typically available in durations of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your account balance is preserved and withdrawals of existing funds remain available. Time-outs can be activated instantly from Account Settings with a single click.

Self-Exclusion Programme

For Members who feel they need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion closes your gan98 account for a minimum of six months, with options extending to one year, three years, or indefinitely. During the exclusion period, we will make every reasonable effort to prevent new account registrations using your identity documents and contact details. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours of submission.

Reality Check Notifications

Reality checks are periodic pop-up reminders that appear during active gaming sessions at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 120 minutes. Each reminder displays your net session result (wins minus losses), the total time you have been logged in, and the number of bets placed. These transparent snapshots encourage informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

How to Activate Your Safeguards

All responsible gaming tools are built directly into your gan98 account — no phone call or customer service ticket required. Here is a step-by-step overview of how to activate each protection feature.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The earlier warning signs are recognised, the easier it is to take effective action. Review the indicators below honestly.

Behavioural Warning Signs
  • Spending more money or time gambling than originally intended, consistently exceeding self-imposed limits.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to cut down or stop gambling activity.
  • Chasing losses — returning to gamble after a losing session with the intention of winning back money already lost.
  • Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the frequency or amount of gambling.
  • Neglecting work, academic, or family responsibilities in favour of gambling sessions.
  • Gambling as a primary strategy to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or difficult life circumstances.
Financial Warning Signs
  • Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling deposits.
  • Selling personal possessions or assets to generate funds for continued gambling.
  • Using money set aside for essential expenses — rent, food, utilities, loan repayments — to fund betting activity.
  • Experiencing significant unexplained debt or financial shortfalls that coincide with periods of heavy gambling.
  • Making multiple rapid deposits in a single day, progressively increasing bet sizes in an attempt to recover losses.
  • Feeling a compulsive urge to gamble away winnings immediately rather than withdrawing them.

If you recognise three or more of the above signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team immediately to discuss self-exclusion options, or to reach out to a professional counselling service. Seeking help early is a sign of strength — not weakness.

Ask Yourself These Questions

Honest self-reflection is the first step toward maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling. Consider each question carefully. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we recommend speaking with our responsible gaming support team.

01

Have you ever gambled with money that was allocated for essential living expenses, such as rent, food, utility bills, or school fees for your children?

02

Do you find it difficult to stop gambling once you have started a session, even when you have reached your planned time or spending limit?

03

Have you ever returned to gambling the day after a loss with the primary intention of winning back the money you lost, rather than for entertainment?

04

Have you hidden gambling activity from people close to you — such as a spouse, parent, sibling, or close friend — due to concern about their reaction?

05

Has gambling ever caused you to miss important personal, professional, or social commitments, or negatively impacted relationships that matter to you?

06

Do you feel an urgent compulsion to gamble when you are feeling stressed, anxious, lonely, or emotionally overwhelmed, as a way to escape those feelings?

07

Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings specifically to fund gambling activity, or to repay gambling-related debts?

08

Do thoughts about gambling — planning the next session, recalling wins, or calculating potential returns — occupy your mind for significant portions of the day, interfering with concentration on other activities?

  • We will provide all responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks, and self-exclusion — free of charge and without friction.
  • We will train all customer-facing support staff to identify signs of problem gambling and to respond with empathy, not commercial pressure.
  • We will process all self-exclusion requests within 24 hours and maintain exclusion records for the full duration requested.
  • We will monitor platform behaviour for patterns associated with problem gambling and proactively reach out to Members who may be at risk.
  • We will never attempt to overturn or circumvent a self-exclusion decision, and will treat all responsible gaming contacts as confidential.
