Your wellbeing is our priority. Gaming should be fun, safe, and within your control
21+ ADULTS ONLYAt pg123, we believe that online gaming should be an entertaining and enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of financial hardship or personal distress. As Indonesia's premier online casino and sports betting platform serving over 2.5 million members across Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, and beyond, we take our responsibility to promote safe gambling practices extremely seriously.
Responsible gaming is not just a policy at pg123—it is a core value embedded in every aspect of our platform design, customer service training, and operational procedures. We are committed to providing you with the tools, resources, and support necessary to maintain control over your gambling activities and ensure that gaming remains a positive form of entertainment rather than becoming problematic.
This comprehensive guide explains our responsible gaming philosophy, the protection tools available to all pg123 users, warning signs of problem gambling to watch for, and how to access support if you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues. We encourage all players to read this information carefully and utilize our safety features proactively.
pg123 maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding underage gambling. All users must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age to create an account, deposit funds, or participate in any form of gambling on our platform. This age requirement aligns with Indonesian legal standards and international responsible gaming best practices.
Our age verification process is rigorous and multi-layered. During registration, you must provide your date of birth, which is cross-referenced against your Indonesian identity card (KTP) during our mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process. Before processing your first withdrawal, we require you to upload a clear photograph or scan of your KTP showing your full name, date of birth, photograph, and ID number. Our automated verification system, supplemented by manual review when necessary, confirms that you meet the minimum age requirement.
If we discover that any user is under 21 years of age, we will immediately and permanently close their account, void all bets and winnings, and return deposits (without interest) to the originating payment method. We also report underage gambling attempts to relevant authorities where appropriate. Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to use parental control software and monitor their children's internet activity to prevent access to gambling sites.
Responsible gambling means maintaining control over the time and money you spend on betting activities. For the vast majority of our users, gambling on pg123 is a form of entertainment—playing slots from Pragmatic Play or PG Soft, betting on BRI Liga 1 football matches, participating in togel draws, or enjoying live dealer games from Evolution Gaming—within their means and without negative consequences to their finances, relationships, work, or mental health.
pg123 provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools designed to help you maintain control over your gambling activities. All tools are easily accessible through your account settings and can be activated or adjusted at any time.
Deposit limits allow you to cap the amount of money you can transfer into your pg123 account within a specified time period. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits that align with your entertainment budget. Once a deposit limit is reached, you will be unable to make additional deposits until the time period resets, preventing impulsive overspending.
To set a deposit limit, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits in your pg123 account. You can lower your deposit limit at any time, with changes taking effect immediately. Increases to deposit limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to ensure the decision is made with careful consideration rather than in the heat of the moment.
We strongly recommend setting deposit limits based on your disposable income—money you can afford to lose without impacting essential expenses like rent, utilities, food, transportation, or debt payments. A common guideline is to allocate no more than 5-10% of your monthly disposable income to gambling activities.
Loss limits cap the net amount you can lose (total deposits minus total withdrawals) over a specified period. This tool is particularly effective for players who want to ensure their gambling losses never exceed a predetermined amount. Loss limits can be set on daily, weekly, or monthly bases.
When you reach your loss limit, you will be unable to place additional bets or play games until the time period resets, though you can still withdraw any remaining balance. Like deposit limits, loss limits can be decreased immediately but increases are subject to a 24-hour waiting period.
Wagering limits restrict the total amount you can bet (regardless of wins or losses) within a specified time period. This tool helps prevent excessive gambling activity even if you are currently winning. For example, setting a daily wagering limit of Rp 2,000,000 means you can place bets totaling up to that amount per day, after which betting functionality will be disabled until the next day.
Session time limits allow you to set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When you reach your time limit, you will receive a notification reminding you to take a break. You can also enable reality check reminders that alert you at specified intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes or every hour) showing how long you have been playing and your current win/loss position.
These tools combat time distortion—a common phenomenon where gamblers lose track of time while engrossed in gameplay. Regular reminders help you make conscious decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.
If you feel you need a short break from gambling, you can activate a time-out period ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During a time-out, your account will be temporarily suspended—you will be unable to log in, deposit funds, place bets, or access any pg123 services. Your account balance will remain safe and accessible once the time-out period expires.
Time-outs are useful if you notice warning signs of problem gambling developing, if you are experiencing financial stress, or if you simply want to focus on other priorities temporarily. To activate a time-out, contact our customer support team via email at [email protected] or live chat, specifying your desired time-out duration.
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available and is designed for players who recognize they have a serious gambling problem and need extended protection. Self-exclusion allows you to close your pg123 account for a minimum period of six months, or permanently.
During a self-exclusion period, you will be completely unable to access your account, and we will block any attempts to create new accounts using your personal information. You will not receive any marketing communications from pg123 during this period. Any remaining account balance will be returned to you via your verified bank account, minus any outstanding bonus wagering requirements.
Self-exclusion requests must be made in writing via email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request." Include your account username, full name, date of birth, and the desired exclusion period. We will process self-exclusion requests within 24 hours and send confirmation via email. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the specified period expires, and reinstatement requires contact with customer support and a 48-hour cooling-off period before account reactivation.
We strongly encourage players considering self-exclusion to also seek professional help from gambling addiction support organizations listed below. Self-exclusion from pg123 alone may not be sufficient if you have access to other gambling platforms—comprehensive treatment and support are essential for recovery.
Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, income, education, or social status. It is characterized by gambling behavior that causes harm to yourself, your family, or others around you. Recognizing the warning signs early is crucial for seeking help before the problem escalates.
If you recognize three or more of these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may indicate a gambling problem. We strongly encourage you to utilize our self-exclusion tools and seek professional support from the resources listed below.
If you believe your gambling has become problematic, or if you are concerned about someone else's gambling behavior, help is available. Recognizing you need help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and is the crucial first step toward recovery.
