gan98 Responsible Gaming
Gaming at gan98 is designed to be a source of entertainment, not financial stress. We provide every Indonesian player with the tools, knowledge, and support necessary to keep their gaming experience enjoyable, controlled, and safe. If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your life negatively, help is always available — and we are here for you.
What Responsible Gaming Means at gan98
Responsible gaming is not a disclaimer — it is a core operating principle at gan98. We believe that a sustainable, trustworthy platform is one that actively protects its players, especially those who may be vulnerable to the harms associated with excessive gambling. That commitment shapes every product decision we make, from how we design our betting interface to the tools we build into every account.
Our responsible gaming framework covers four pillars: prevention (tools that help players manage their activity before problems arise), intervention (alerts and checks when unusual patterns are detected), support (direct access to our team and guidance toward external help), and enforcement (strict age verification and account closure where necessary).
Whether you play sports markets including BRI Liga 1, EPL, and Champions League fixtures, or enjoy live casino, slots, or togel (Indonesia's traditional numbers lottery), the same protections apply to every game and every player on the gan98 platform.
Key Principles
- Gambling is entertainment — it should never feel like an obligation.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Set a budget before you play, and stick to it regardless of outcomes.
- Take regular breaks and track the time you spend on the platform.
- Do not chase losses — a losing streak does not predict a winning one.
- Gambling under the influence of alcohol or emotional distress increases risk.
- If you need a break, use our tools — they are there precisely for this purpose.
Built-In Controls — Free for Every Member
Every gan98 account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools, accessible at any time from your account settings. All tools take effect immediately unless noted otherwise.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are permitted to deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your limit is reached, the platform will decline further deposits until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately; increases take effect after a 48-hour cooling period.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you can lose across a defined period. If your net losses reach the limit you have set, wagering will be suspended until the period expires. This tool is particularly effective for players who want to protect their bankroll during a losing run.
Session Time Limits
Define the maximum length of a single gaming session. When your session limit is reached, you will receive an on-screen alert. You can choose to have the session end automatically, giving you a natural prompt to step away and take a break.
Cool-Off Period
Request a short-term account suspension lasting between 24 hours and six weeks. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place wagers. The cool-off takes effect immediately on request. You will not be able to cancel it once activated — this is by design.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently close your account and block re-registration for a minimum of six (6) months. Self-exclusion is the strongest tool available and is intended for players who feel they have lost control of their gambling. Requests are processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic on-screen notifications that display your session duration and net win/loss position at intervals you choose (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes). Reality checks are a proven nudge tool that helps players maintain perspective during extended sessions.
Strictly 21+ — No Exceptions
gan98 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all registered Members. This is consistent with Indonesian adult age standards for gambling and aligns with internationally recognised responsible gaming benchmarks. Age verification is mandatory before any deposit or withdrawal can be processed.
During the KYC (Know Your Customer) process, all Members are required to submit a valid government-issued identification document — such as an Indonesian national identity card (KTP) or passport — that clearly shows their date of birth. Accounts where age cannot be confirmed will be suspended until verification is completed.
If we have reason to suspect that a Member is under the age of 21, we will immediately suspend the account pending verification. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned, and the account will be permanently closed. We do not offer any exceptions to this policy under any circumstances.
Age Verification Process
-
Register your account Provide your full legal name and date of birth during the registration form. You must confirm you are at least 21 years of age.
-
Submit your KYC documents Upload a clear photograph or scan of your Indonesian KTP, passport, or driver's licence (SIM). The document must be valid, unobstructed, and legible.
-
Verification review Our compliance team reviews your submission, typically within one (1) business day (WIB). You will receive an email notification once verification is complete.
-
Full account access granted Once verified, all deposit, withdrawal, and gaming functions are fully available. Your responsible gaming tools are also active from this point.
Do You Recognise Any of These Signs?
Problem gambling can develop gradually. The following questions are adapted from internationally recognised screening tools. They are not a clinical diagnosis — but if you answer "yes" to three or more, we encourage you to reach out to our support team or take a break using our self-exclusion tool.
Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult to do so?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you are doing other things?
Have you borrowed money — from family, friends, or financial services — to fund gambling?
Have you gambled to try to win back money you have previously lost (chasing losses)?
Has gambling caused tension, arguments, or distance in your relationships?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling?
Have you missed work, study, or family commitments because of time spent gambling?
Habits of a Healthy Player
Responsible gaming is not just about responding to problems — it is about building habits that prevent them from arising in the first place. The following practices are recommended for every gan98 Member.
Set a Budget
Decide on a fixed gambling budget — daily, weekly, or monthly — before you open the platform. Treat it as an entertainment expense, like a dinner out or a cinema ticket. Never exceed it.
Track Your Time
It is easy to lose track of time during a live session. Enable session time alerts in your account settings, and use WIB clock awareness — set an alarm on your phone if needed — to ensure gaming does not overrun into other commitments.
Play with a Clear Head
Avoid gambling when you are tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Impaired judgment is one of the biggest contributors to poor betting decisions and financial harm.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen between sessions. Physical activity, social time, and hobbies unrelated to gambling are important for maintaining a healthy relationship with online gaming platforms.
