Our Commitment to Safer Gaming

Every feature on this page exists for one reason: to make sure that playing on abc138 remains a positive experience — on your terms.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary or permanent break from the platform at any time. abc138 offers self-exclusion periods of 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanent closure. Your Account will be locked within 24 hours of your request.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit ceiling directly from your Account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately — and increases to your limit can only be applied after a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period.

Time-Out Feature

Need a short break? Activate a time-out of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a time-out, your Account remains registered but you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. The period cannot be cut short once activated.

Loss Limits

Cap the maximum net loss you can sustain over a defined period. If your losses reach the set threshold before the period ends, your account will be automatically restricted from further wagering until the period resets.

Activity Monitoring

abc138's responsible gaming system continuously monitors player behaviour for patterns that may indicate problem gambling. Where our team identifies concerning trends, a trained support agent will proactively reach out to offer assistance.

Reality Checks

Enable session reminders that pop up at regular intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — to show you how long you have been playing and how your balance has changed, helping you stay grounded during extended sessions.

Gambling Is Entertainment — Not a Financial Strategy

Gambling at abc138 is designed to be a recreational activity. It should never be used as a method to generate income, cover debts, or solve financial problems. Every game outcome is determined by random processes — no strategy guarantees a win. If you are gambling to recover losses or to cope with stress, please reach out to our support team immediately.

Your Player Protection Toolkit

abc138 puts meaningful controls directly in your hands. Here is how to access and activate each tool available on your Account.

Setting a Deposit Limit
Instant Effect

Log in to your abc138 Account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Select your preferred period (daily, weekly, or monthly) and enter the maximum amount in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). The limit activates immediately. To lower your limit, the change is instant. To raise it, a mandatory 72-hour review period applies before the increase takes effect — this protects you from impulsive decisions.

Activating a Time-Out
Available 24/7

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break and select your preferred time-out duration: 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. Once confirmed, the time-out is locked and cannot be reversed mid-period. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. All pending bets placed before activation will be settled normally.

Requesting Self-Exclusion
Processed within 24 hrs

Self-exclusion is a more serious commitment than a time-out. Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclude or contact our support team directly at [email protected]. Choose a period of 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked — you cannot log in, deposit, or receive any promotional communications from abc138.

Setting a Loss Limit
Recommended for All Players

Access Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits to set a ceiling on the net amount you can lose over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the loss threshold is reached, you are automatically prevented from placing further bets until the period renews. This tool is particularly effective for players who find it difficult to walk away after a losing streak.

Enabling Reality Checks
Keeps You Informed

In Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Reminders, choose how frequently you want to receive an in-session notification showing your current session duration and net balance change. Options range from every 30 minutes to every 2 hours. These gentle reminders help prevent time distortion — a common factor in extended gambling sessions.

Speaking to a Support Agent
24/7 Support

If you are unsure which tool is right for your situation, or if you are struggling and need to talk, our Indonesian-speaking support team is available around the clock. Reach us via live chat on the platform, or email [email protected]. All responsible gaming enquiries are treated with strict confidentiality and handled by trained agents.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the early warning signs is the first step toward maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming.

Spending more time or money gambling than you originally intended

Gambling to recover money you have already lost ("chasing losses")

Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless w hen you try to reduce or stop gambling

Borrowing money from friends, family, or financial institutions to fund gambling

Lying to people close to you about how much time or money you spend gambling

Using gambling as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, or personal problems

Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or after setting a personal limit

Neglecting basic needs — food, sleep, or personal health — in favour of extended gaming sessions

Experiencing mood swings linked directly to wins or losses on the platform

Repeatedly failing to follow through on your own decisions to cut back or stop gambling

Prioritising gambling activity over social relationships, hobbies, or recreational activities

If Any of These Sound Familiar — You Are Not Alone

Recognising a pattern is not a reason for shame — it is a reason to act. Many players across Indonesia and globally have successfully regained control with the right support. abc138's responsible gaming team is trained to help without judgment. Reach out at [email protected] or use the self-exclusion tool in your Account settings today.

Quick Self-Assessment

The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised problem gambling screening frameworks. Answer honestly — this assessment is entirely private and is not submitted to abc138 or any third party. If you answer "yes" to three or more questions, we strongly encourage you to speak with a support agent or activate a self-exclusion period.

1

Have you ever gambled with money that was originally set aside for essential expenses — such as rent, groceries, bills, or family needs?

2

Have you ever increased your bets to try to recover money lost in a previous session?

3

Do you find it difficult to walk away from a session once you have started, even when you originally planned to stop?

4

Have you ever hidden your gambling activity — in terms of time spent or money used — from family members or close friends?

5

Do you feel a strong compulsion to return to gambling shortly after a losing session, even if you had planned not to?

6

Has gambling ever caused noticeable tension, conflict, or financial stress in your personal or family relationships?

7

Do you gamble as a primary method of relieving stress, boredom, or negative emotions rather than as a recreational activity?

This is not a diagnostic tool. If your answers concern you, please contact our support team or speak with a qualified mental health professional. In Indonesia, support services for gambling-related issues are available through national mental health helplines and community health centres (Puskesmas). abc138 can provide further guidance on accessing these services upon request.
