Player Wellbeing & Safety

Play Smart. Stay in Control.

hg88 believes that entertainment should never come at the cost of your wellbeing. This page is dedicated to responsible gaming — giving every member the information, tools, and support needed to keep gambling a safe and enjoyable activity. If you ever feel that gambling is becoming a problem, help is always available.

Gaming Should Always Be a Choice, Not a Compulsion

At hg88, responsible gaming is not a box to check — it is woven into the foundation of how we operate. We recognise that the vast majority of our members enjoy sports betting, live casino, togel (Indonesia's traditional numbers lottery), and slot gacor (online slot games) as a leisure activity without ever experiencing harm. For those who do encounter difficulties, we are committed to providing timely, effective, and non-judgmental support.

Responsible gaming means understanding that betting is entertainment, not a guaranteed income source. It means setting boundaries before you start a session, sticking to a budget you can genuinely afford to lose, and recognising when it is time to step away. hg88 actively provides tools to help you do exactly that — and our support team is available around the clock if you need to talk.

Golden Rule: Never bet with money set aside for rent, food, bills, or your family. Gambling should be funded only from discretionary income that you can afford to lose entirely.

Six Tools to Keep You in Control

Every hg88 member has access to the following responsible gaming tools at no cost, available immediately via your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Most Used
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your hg88 account. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased until the current period expires — giving you genuine budget control. Reductions take effect immediately.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose across a set period. When your loss threshold is reached, hg88 will automatically restrict further wagering until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for managing downswing sessions.

Session Time Limits

Configure a maximum continuous session duration. Once your chosen time has elapsed, you will receive a prominent on-screen notification prompting you to review your session. You can extend, pause, or end your session at that point.

Reality Check Reminders

Schedule recurring pop-up reminders at intervals of 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Each reminder displays your session duration and net result, helping you make informed decisions about whether to continue or take a break.

Recommended
Cool-Off & Time-Out

Take a short break of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During a cool-off period your account is temporarily suspended — you will not be able to log in or place wagers. Promotional communications are also paused during this time.

Immediate Action
Self-Exclusion

Request a formal self-exclusion for 30, 90, or 180 days, or permanently. Once activated, hg88 will close your account and restrict re-registration for the elected period. This is the most robust tool for members who need a meaningful break.

How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools

All hg88 responsible gaming tools are free, self-service, and can be activated within minutes. Follow these steps:

1
Log in to your hg88 Account

Access your account via the main Platform. Make sure you are on the official hg88.cam domain before entering your credentials.

2
Open Account Settings

Navigate to the "My Account" section from the top-right menu and select "Responsible Gaming" from the settings sidebar.

3
Choose Your Tool

Select from deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality check reminders, cool-off periods, or self-exclusion. Configure the parameters that suit your situation.

4
Confirm Activation

Review the settings and confirm. Restrictions take effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address. Limit reductions are instant; limit increases require a mandatory cooling-off period.

5
Need Help? Contact Support

If you prefer to activate any tool with the assistance of an agent, contact our 24/7 support team. Indonesian-speaking agents are available across WIB (UTC+7), WITA (UTC+8), and WIT (UTC+9). Email: [email protected]

Available Limit Options

Tool Options Effective
Deposit Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly — custom Rp amount Instant
Loss Limit Daily / Weekly / Monthly — custom Rp amount Instant
Session Time Limit 30 min / 1 hr / 2 hr / 4 hr / custom Next login
Reality Check Every 15 / 30 / 60 minutes Instant

Important: All limit reductions and self-exclusions take effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the elected period. Limit increases require a mandatory 24-hour reflection window before taking effect — this delay is intentional, to protect you from impulsive decisions made during a losing session.

Warning Signs That Gambling May Be a Problem

The earlier problem gambling is identified, the easier it is to address. If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself, you are encouraged to talk to our dedicated support team and to make use of the self-exclusion and cooling-off tools:

  • Spending more time and money gambling than you originally planned
  • Chasing losses by increasing stake sizes or betting frequency
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling activity
  • Neglecting work, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gambling
  • Feeling restless, anxious, or irritable when you are unable to gamble
  • Lying to family or friends about the extent of your gambling
  • Experiencing repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
  • Using gambling as an escape from stress, depression, or financial worry
  • Gambling beyond your means and losing track of how much you have spent

Self-Assessment Checklist

Take a moment to consider these questions honestly. Answering "yes" to several of them may indicate that gambling is starting to have a negative impact on your life — in which case we strongly recommend activating one of the protection tools above or speaking with our support team.

Q1
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are not playing?
Q2
Have you ever gambled with money you could not afford to lose?
Q3
Have you tried to stop or cut down on gambling and found it difficult?
Q4
Has gambling ever caused stress at home, at work, or with friends?
Q5
Do you often gamble to recover previous losses rather than for the enjoyment of the game?
Q6
Have you ever hidden the extent of your gambling activity from those close to you?

This checklist is an informal self-reflection tool and is not a substitute for a professional assessment. If you answered "yes" to three or more questions, please reach out to our support team or a qualified professional.

Self-Exclusion — A Serious, Binding Commitment

Self-exclusion is the most powerful protective tool at your disposal. It is a formal, binding commitment that you request from hg88 when you decide you need a meaningful period away from gambling.

30 Days

A short-term break ideal if you need to recentre after a difficult week. Your account and promotional communications are suspended throughout.

90 Days

A medium-term exclusion suited to members who feel they are losing control over their gambling habits and need structured time away.

180 Days

A longer-term commitment for members who require substantial time to reset their habits and seek professional support if needed.

Permanent
Permanent Exclusion

A lifetime self-exclusion from hg88. This is irreversible — you will not be permitted to re-register on the Platform under any circumstances.

During a self-exclusion period, hg88 will: close your account immediately; block re-registration with any new identity; pause all promotional messages and bonus offers; and retain your account data only as required for regulatory compliance. If you have a positive balance at the time of self-exclusion, it will be returned to you via your registered payment method.

We Are Here to Help, Without Judgement

If you feel that gambling is affecting your wellbeing, the most important step is to reach out. hg88's dedicated support team is trained to handle sensitive conversations with empathy, confidentiality, and respect. You can speak to us via live chat on the Platform — Indonesian-speaking agents are available 24/7 — or reach us by email at [email protected].

Beyond hg88, we encourage members to consider professional counselling services and support networks that can provide independent guidance. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our team is happy to signpost you to appropriate resources — simply ask via live chat and we will assist discreetly.

Please remember: It is never too late to take a step back. Whether you need to set a limit, take a short break, or exclude yourself entirely, the decision is always yours — and hg88 is here to support you through it.
