Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. Play responsibly, stay in control.
All gaming activities on sbotob are restricted to individuals 21 years of age or older. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited and illegal. We verify age during account registration and reserve the right to request additional proof at any time. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be immediately closed, deposits forfeited, and winnings voided.
At sbotob, we recognize that while the vast majority of our 2.5 million members enjoy online gaming as harmless entertainment, a small percentage of individuals may develop problematic gambling behaviors that negatively impact their lives, relationships, and financial well-being. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices, providing effective tools for self-limitation, and supporting players who may be struggling with gambling-related issues.
Responsible gaming is not merely a regulatory checkbox for sbotob - it is a core operational value embedded in every aspect of our platform design, customer support training, and company culture. We believe that sustainable, long-term success in the gaming industry depends on fostering a safe environment where players can enjoy entertainment without harm. This page outlines the comprehensive responsible gaming framework we have built, including self-limitation tools you can activate at any time, warning signs of problem gambling to watch for, and support resources available both within sbotob and through external organizations.
Our approach to responsible gaming is guided by international best practices established by organizations such as GamCare, Gambling Therapy, and the International Centre for Responsible Gaming. While Indonesia does not yet have comprehensive gambling regulation comparable to jurisdictions like the United Kingdom or Malta, sbotob voluntarily adopts these global standards to ensure that Indonesian players receive the same level of protection afforded to players in heavily regulated markets.
sbotob provides a comprehensive suite of self-limitation tools accessible directly through your account settings. These tools are designed to help you maintain control over your gambling activity, set healthy boundaries, and prevent excessive play before it becomes problematic. All tools are free to use and can be activated or adjusted at any time without contacting customer support.
Set maximum amounts you can deposit into your sbotob account over specific time periods. You can choose daily, weekly, or monthly limits, or combine multiple limits for layered protection. For example, you might set a daily limit of Rp 500,000, a weekly limit of Rp 2,000,000, and a monthly limit of Rp 6,000,000. Once a deposit limit is reached, you will be unable to add more funds until the time period resets.
How to activate: Log in to your account, navigate to "Account Settings" → "Responsible Gaming" → "Deposit Limits." Enter your desired limits and confirm. Limit increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect, while limit decreases and removals take effect immediately.
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a given period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Loss limits calculate your net losses (total deposits minus total withdrawals during the period) and automatically prevent further betting once the threshold is reached. This tool is particularly effective for ensuring that gambling remains within your entertainment budget and does not encroach on funds needed for essential expenses.
How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits. Set your thresholds and confirm. Like deposit limits, increases have a 24-hour delay while decreases are immediate.
Set a maximum duration for continuous play sessions. When your session time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and must take a mandatory break before logging back in. This tool helps prevent extended gambling sessions where time awareness can be lost. Recommended limits range from 1-4 hours depending on your personal schedule and risk tolerance.
How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Time Limits. Choose your maximum session duration (options: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, or custom).
Receive periodic pop-up notifications during gameplay showing how long you have been playing and how much money you have wagered during the current session. Reality checks serve as gentle reminders to step back, assess your play, and decide whether to continue or take a break. You can customize the frequency of these reminders (e.g., every 30 minutes, every hour).
How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Reality Checks. Enable the feature and set your preferred reminder frequency.
Temporarily suspend access to your sbotob account for a short cooling-off period. Available timeout durations are 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days. During a timeout, you will not be able to log in, deposit funds, or place bets. Your account balance remains safe and accessible once the timeout period expires. Timeouts are useful if you feel you are losing control, experiencing a losing streak that is emotionally difficult, or simply need a break for personal or financial reasons.
How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Take a Break. Select your preferred timeout duration. The timeout takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed until the period expires.
Self-exclusion is the most serious self-limitation tool and involves voluntarily closing your sbotob account for an extended period or permanently. Available self-exclusion periods are 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or lifetime permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account will be completely locked - you cannot log in, make deposits, place bets, or withdraw funds (though you can contact support to arrange withdrawal of any remaining balance before the exclusion begins). Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period, even if you change your mind.
We strongly recommend self-exclusion if you recognize that gambling is causing significant problems in your life such as financial distress, relationship conflicts, work performance issues, or emotional distress. Self-exclusion gives you the time and space to seek professional help, address underlying issues, and regain control.
How to activate: Contact our customer support team via live chat, WhatsApp, or email and request self-exclusion. Our trained staff will guide you through the process, ensure you understand the implications, and provide information about external support resources. Once activated, self-exclusion prevents you from creating new sbotob accounts using the same identity documents.
Problem gambling (also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling) is a behavioral disorder characterized by an inability to control gambling impulses despite negative consequences. It can affect anyone regardless of age, income, education, or cultural background. Early recognition of warning signs is crucial for seeking help before the problem escalates.
