21+ Age Restriction Strictly Enforced

po88 services are exclusively for adults who are at least 21 years of age. Underage gambling is illegal. We enforce strict identity verification to ensure compliance. If you are under 21, you must not create an account or use any po88 services. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be immediately terminated, and all funds will be forfeited.

Play Safely, Responsibly, and Within Your Means

At po88, we believe that gambling should be a fun, recreational activity — not a way to make money or escape problems. While millions of people around the world, including Indonesia, enjoy betting on sports like BRI Liga 1, Timnas Indonesia matches, EPL, La Liga, and Champions League, or playing slots, live casino games, and togel (Indonesia's traditional lottery) without issue, we also recognize that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic.

Responsible gaming is a core value at po88. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent, and supportive environment where every member can enjoy our services responsibly. This page explains the tools, resources, and support systems available to help you stay in control of your gambling activity, recognize warning signs of problem gambling, and access help if you or someone you know is struggling.

Our responsible gaming framework is built on four pillars: Prevention (educating users about risks and healthy gambling habits), Protection (age verification, deposit limits, self-exclusion tools), Detection (monitoring account activity for signs of problem gambling), and Intervention (providing access to professional support services and counseling). po88 partners with internationally recognized responsible gaming organizations and complies with industry best practices to ensure that every member is protected.

If you feel that gambling is no longer fun, if you are spending more time or money than you intended, if gambling is causing stress in your relationships or affecting your work, school, or financial obligations, or if you find yourself chasing losses or lying about your gambling activity, we strongly encourage you to reach out for help. po88's customer support team is available 24/7 via live chat, and we can connect you with professional resources. There is no shame in seeking help — recognizing a problem and taking action is a sign of strength.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

po88 provides a suite of responsible gaming tools designed to help you manage your gambling activity and maintain healthy habits. All tools are free to use and can be activated or adjusted at any time through your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your account. Limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you can lose within a specified period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once you reach your loss limit, you will not be able to place any further bets until the period resets.

Session Time Limits

Enable session timers to receive reminders after a specified duration of continuous play. You can set pop-up alerts at intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours) or automatic logouts to encourage breaks.

Take a Break (Time-Out)

Temporarily suspend your account for a period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During the time-out period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or place bets. This gives you time to step back and reassess your gambling habits.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion allows you to close your account for a minimum period of 6 months, with options for 1 year, 5 years, or permanent closure. During self-exclusion, you cannot access po88 services or create a new account. This tool is irreversible for the duration you select.

Reality Check Alerts

Enable pop-up notifications at regular intervals that display how long you have been playing, your net wins or losses for the session, and your current account balance. Reality checks help you stay aware of time and money spent.

All responsible gaming tools can be activated, adjusted, or deactivated through your account settings. If you need assistance setting up any tool, contact our support team via live chat.

Recognize the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Understanding the warning signs can help you recognize when gambling is no longer fun and take action before it becomes a serious issue.

Ask Yourself These Questions

  • Do you gamble for longer than you planned or spend more money than you intended?
  • Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found yourself unable to do so?
  • Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop gambling?
  • Do you gamble to escape from problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of depression or anxiety?
  • After losing money, do you feel the need to return immediately to try to win it back (chasing losses)?
  • Have you lied to family, friends, or others about the amount of time or money you spend gambling?
  • Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, school, or financial obligations?
  • Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or neglected bills to fund your gambling?

If You Answered "Yes" to One or More Questions

If you answered "yes" to one or more of these questions, it may indicate that your gambling is becoming problematic. This does not mean you are a "bad person" or that the situation is hopeless. Problem gambling is a behavioral issue that can be addressed with the right support and resources.

We strongly encourage you to take action now by using po88's responsible gaming tools (deposit limits, time-out, self-exclusion) and reaching out to a professional support service. Early intervention is the most effective way to regain control and prevent further harm.

po88's customer support team is available 24/7 to assist you. Contact us via live chat, and we will provide you with information about self-exclusion, recommended break periods, and connections to professional counseling services. All conversations are confidential.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Follow these guidelines to keep gambling fun, safe, and within your control.

  • Set a Budget Before You Play: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start gambling, and stick to that limit. Only gamble with discretionary income — never with money needed for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses.
  • Set a Time Limit: Decide in advance how long you will play, and stop when that time is up — whether you are winning or losing. Use po88's session time limit feature to receive automatic reminders.
  • Never Chase Losses: Losing is part of gambling. If you lose your budgeted amount, accept the loss and walk away. Trying to win back losses by betting more money is one of the most common warning signs of problem gambling.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen at regular intervals. Go for a walk, talk to a friend, or engage in another activity. Continuous gambling without breaks can lead to poor decision-making and loss of perspective.
  • Don't Gamble Under the Influence: Avoid gambling when you are under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that affects your judgment. Impaired decision-making increases the risk of irresponsible betting.
  • Don't Gamble to Escape Problems: Gambling should not be used as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other personal problems. If you find yourself gambling to cope with negative emotions, seek professional support.
  • Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Gambling should be one of many recreational activities in your life, not the primary focus. Maintain a healthy balance with work, family, social activities, hobbies, and exercise.
  • Be Aware of How Much Time and Money You Spend: Keep track of your gambling activity. po88 provides detailed transaction history and account statements in your dashboard. Review your activity regularly to ensure it remains within healthy limits.
  • Never Borrow Money to Gamble: If you find yourself borrowing money, using credit cards, taking out loans, or selling possessions to fund gambling, this is a serious warning sign. Stop immediately and seek help.
  • Talk About Your Gambling: Be open with friends and family about your gambling activity. If you feel ashamed or find yourself lying about how much time or money you spend, this is a warning sign that gambling may be becoming a problem.
