21+ ONLY
You must be 21 years or older to use gm108. No exceptions.
At gm108, we believe that gaming should be a source of entertainment, not a cause of stress or financial difficulty. While the majority of our members enjoy gaming responsibly as a recreational activity, we recognize that some individuals may develop problematic gambling behaviors that negatively impact their lives, relationships, and financial stability.
Responsible gaming means maintaining control over your gaming activities, setting appropriate limits on time and money spent, and recognizing when gaming ceases to be fun and becomes a problem. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent, and supportive environment for all Indonesian players using our platform, with comprehensive tools and resources to help you stay in control.
This page outlines the responsible gaming tools available on the gm108 platform, warning signs of problem gambling, and resources for seeking help if you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related difficulties. Our customer support team is trained to recognize problem gambling indicators and provide confidential assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Your Responsible Gaming Tools
Deposit Limits
Deposit limits allow you to control how much money you can transfer into your gm108 account over a specified period. Once set, these limits cannot be increased immediately, protecting you from impulsive decisions during emotional moments.
How to set deposit limits:
- Log in to your gm108 account and navigate to Account Settings
- Select "Responsible Gaming Tools" from the menu
- Choose "Deposit Limits" and select your preferred timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Enter the maximum amount in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) you wish to deposit within that period
- Confirm your selection - the limit takes effect immediately
Important notes: Deposit limit increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect. Deposit limit decreases are immediate. You can set multiple limits across different timeframes simultaneously for maximum protection.
Loss Limits
Loss limits restrict the total amount you can lose (net losses, calculated as deposits minus withdrawals) over a specified period. This tool helps prevent chasing losses and ensures you never wager more than you can afford to lose.
How it works:
- Set a maximum net loss amount per day, week, or month
- The system tracks your real-time net losses across all games and bets
- When you reach your limit, you cannot place additional bets until the period resets
- Withdrawals remain available even when loss limits are reached
Loss limits are particularly effective for sports betting and casino gaming, where the temptation to recover losses through larger bets can be strong. Setting a realistic loss limit before you begin playing helps maintain rational decision-making.
Session Time Limits
Session time limits help you manage how long you spend gaming in a single session. When your time limit is reached, you will receive an automatic logout notification, giving you a natural break point to step away from the platform.
Configuring session limits:
- Choose your maximum continuous session duration (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours)
- Enable session reminders to receive notifications at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes)
- Set mandatory break periods between sessions if desired
Prolonged gaming sessions can lead to fatigue, impaired judgment, and loss of perspective on time and money spent. Regular breaks help you maintain control and make conscious decisions about whether to continue playing.
Take a Break (Cool-Off Period)
The "Take a Break" feature allows you to temporarily suspend your account for a period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this cool-off period, you cannot log in to your account, deposit funds, or place bets. Your account balance remains secure and available for withdrawal upon request.
When to use this tool:
- You feel you are spending too much time or money gaming
- You want to take a voluntary break to reassess your gaming habits
- You are experiencing stress, financial pressure, or relationship issues related to gaming
- You need time away to focus on other priorities (work, family, personal goals)
To activate a cool-off period, contact our customer support team via live chat or email. Your request will be processed immediately, and you will receive confirmation of your break duration. You cannot cancel a cool-off period once activated - it must run its full course.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool, permanently closing your gm108 account for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent closure. This option is designed for individuals who recognize they have a serious gambling problem and need a complete break from all gaming activities.
What happens when you self-exclude:
- Your account is immediately deactivated and cannot be reopened during the exclusion period
- You will not receive any marketing communications, promotional offers, or newsletters from gm108
- Your personal details are flagged to prevent you from creating a new account
- Any remaining account balance will be returned to you via your registered payment method
- After the exclusion period expires, account reactivation requires additional KYC verification and counseling confirmation
To request self-exclusion: Contact our Responsible Gaming team via email at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request." Our team will guide you through the process confidentially and connect you with problem gambling support resources if desired.
Reality Check Reminders
Reality check reminders are periodic pop-up notifications that appear during your gaming session, displaying how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These reminders help combat "time blindness" - the common phenomenon where players lose track of time while absorbed in gaming.
Customization options:
- Set reminder frequency (every 15, 30, or 60 minutes)
- Choose what information to display (session time, net win/loss, total wagered)
- Enable or disable reminder sounds and visual alerts
When a reality check notification appears, take a moment to evaluate: Are you still enjoying yourself? Are you playing within your budget? Is it time to take a break? These small pauses can make a significant difference in maintaining responsible gaming habits.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling, also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is a serious condition that can affect anyone regardless of age, income, or background. Recognizing the warning signs early is crucial for seeking help before the problem escalates.
Ask yourself these questions honestly:
- Do you spend more time and money gaming than you originally intended?
- Have you lied to family or friends about how much you gamble?
- Do you chase losses by gambling more to try to win back money you lost?
- Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used household funds to gamble?
- Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling?
- Do you gamble to escape problems, stress, depression, or negative feelings?
- Have you neglected work, school, family responsibilities, or personal relationships due to gambling?
- Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same excitement?
- Have you tried to stop or reduce your gambling but been unable to do so?
- Do you think about gambling constantly, planning your next session or reliving past wins/losses?
If you answered "yes" to three or more of these questions, you may be developing a gambling problem. We strongly encourage you to reach out for support. Problem gambling is treatable, and help is available.

Principles of Responsible Gaming
Budget Awareness
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use funds meant for rent, bills, food, or other necessities. Set a strict gaming budget and stick to it.
Time Management
Gaming should be one of many recreational activities in your life, not the only one. Set time limits and maintain balance with work, family, hobbies, and social activities.
Entertainment Focus
Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The house always has an edge in the long run.
Clear-Headed Decisions
Never gamble when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, emotionally distressed, or making decisions out of desperation or boredom.
Accept Losses
Chasing losses is one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors. Accept that losing is part of gaming, and never try to win back losses by betting more than planned.
Seek Support
If gaming stops being fun or causes stress, talk to someone you trust or contact professional support services. You are not alone, and help is available.
