Gambling is entertainment. For the vast majority of obm88 members across Jakarta, Surabaya, Bali, and beyond, it stays exactly that. But we also know that for some people, gambling can become a problem — and when it does, the consequences can be serious. This page is obm88's commitment to making sure every member has the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.
obm88 is built on a simple philosophy: a player who enjoys their experience and stays within their means is a member who comes back. Our long-term business success depends entirely on building a healthy, sustainable community of bettors who treat gambling as a leisure activity — not as a financial strategy or a way to solve financial problems.
That's why responsible gaming tools are not buried in a settings menu or presented as compliance checkboxes. On obm88, deposit limits, self-exclusion, session timers, and reality-check alerts are first-class features — built into the platform's core and made as accessible as the games themselves.
If at any point you feel that gambling is no longer enjoyable, or that it is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing, we urge you to use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately. obm88 support agents are trained in responsible gaming and are available 24/7 in Indonesian (WIB, UTC+7) to help you take control.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Limits are applied immediately when reduced and require a 24-hour delay when increased.
Close your account for 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Effective immediately and irreversible during the chosen period.
Set a maximum continuous play duration. Your session ends automatically when the limit is reached — no option to extend mid-session.
Receive on-screen notifications at intervals you choose (30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr) showing how long you've been playing and your net balance for the session.
Cap your net losses over a defined period. Your session closes automatically when the limit is reached, preventing further losses in that window.
Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days without permanently closing your account. No betting access during the time-out period.
Every responsible gaming tool on the obm88 platform is available directly inside your account — no waiting, no approval required, and no questions asked. Here's how to access them.
Access the platform through the obm88 website on any device. All responsible gaming tools are available on both desktop browser and mobile browser.
Click or tap your account avatar / username in the top-right corner of the platform. Select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Inside Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All player-protection tools are grouped here in a single panel.
Choose from deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality-check alerts, time-out, or self-exclusion. Enter your preferred values and confirm your selection.
Restrictions — including deposit limit reductions, loss limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion — take effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address within 5 minutes.
The table below summarises all available protection tools, the parameters you can set, and how quickly each change takes effect.
Problem gambling rarely announces itself. It tends to develop gradually — the stakes get a little higher, the sessions run a little longer, and losses get chased more aggressively. The earlier the pattern is recognised, the easier it is to address.
The following are common early warning signs. If several of these apply to you, please take the self-assessment quiz on the next panel, or contact obm88 support right now — there is no judgement, only help.
Answer these questions honestly for yourself. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, we strongly encourage you to activate your protection tools or contact support today.
obm88 operates a strict minimum-age policy of 21 years. This is not just a legal requirement — it is our moral commitment to ensuring that no person under adulthood is exposed to gambling.
Every account must pass identity verification using a government-issued document (KTP, passport) before full features and withdrawals are unlocked. Age is verified at every stage.
Any account found upon investigation to belong to a person under 21 is closed without warning. All funds are returned to the source payment method. There are no exceptions.
If you share a device with younger family members, log out of obm88 after each session and use your device's parental control features. obm88 does not offer a separate family-lock feature.
If you believe a person under 21 has accessed or attempted to access the obm88 platform, please report it immediately via live chat or at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). We investigate all such reports within 24 hours.
The goal is to keep gambling enjoyable for as long as possible. These principles are what separates a sustainable hobby from a harmful habit.
Decide in advance how much you are comfortable losing in a session. Only gamble with money that is genuinely discretionary — never funds allocated for rent, bills, groceries, or savings. Use the obm88 deposit limit tool to enforce your budget automatically.
Long sessions lead to fatigue, reduced decision-making quality, and a higher tendency to chase losses. Set a session time limit of 1–2 hours maximum, and stick to it. Use the reality-check alert feature to stay aware of how long you have been playing.
Gambling when angry, anxious, tired, or under the influence of alcohol is consistently associated with poor decision-making and loss of control. If you're not in a calm, clear-headed state, it's the right time to take a break — activate time-out if you need to.
Chasing losses is the single most common path to problem gambling. Every bet is independent. If you have hit your session budget and the session has not gone your way, close the session. That money is gone — and increasing bets to recover it statistically makes the outcome worse, not better.
Gambling should be one leisure activity among many — not the centrepiece of your social life. Maintain your friendships, family connections, hobbies, and exercise routine. If gambling is squeezing out other activities you used to enjoy, that is a warning sign worth taking seriously.
Taking a week off, a month off, or longer from gambling is completely healthy and normal. The obm88 cool-off feature exists precisely for this. Your account and balance will be waiting when you choose to return — and there's absolutely no social pressure on this platform to bet more or more often.
If gambling is causing you or someone you care about serious distress, you don't need to face it alone. obm88 support is available 24/7, and the options below can help immediately.
Available 24/7 — Indonesian-speaking agents, WIB timezone base
Our support team is trained to help members who feel gambling is becoming a problem. You can ask to set deposit limits, activate self-exclusion, or simply talk through what you're experiencing — with no judgement and complete confidentiality. Open the live chat inside the obm88 platform, or write to us at the address below.
Log into your obm88 account, go to Responsible Gaming in Account Settings, and activate a time-out or self-exclusion. It takes less than 2 minutes and is effective immediately.
Reaching out to a family member, close friend, or colleague is often the single most important step. You don't need to face this in isolation — and being honest with someone you trust can provide immediate relief.
Problem gambling is a recognised condition. Mental health professionals and addiction counsellors can provide structured, effective treatment. In Indonesia, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) helpline provides referrals to professional counselling services nationwide.
If gambling-related debt is a concern, a financial counsellor can help you understand your options and build a recovery plan. Many non-profit organisations across Indonesia offer free financial counselling services.
