Recognizing When Betting Habits Start Becoming Risky

The following signs are widely recognized indicators that gambling has shifted from entertainment into a problem — none of them need to happen together to be worth paying attention to:

  • Continuing to bet to "chase" previous losses, rather than stopping at a limit you'd already planned.
  • Using money meant for essentials — rent, food, bills — to bet.
  • Hiding the amount of time or money spent betting from family or people close to you.
  • Borrowing money specifically to bet, or selling belongings to fund betting.
  • Neglecting work, school, or other responsibilities because of time spent betting.

If one or more of these feels familiar, it's not something you have to work through alone — see the control tools below, or reach out to a professional support resource.

Deposit Limits & Self-Exclusion

You can set deposit limits or temporarily deactivate your account. A deposit limit helps keep your betting within a plan you set in advance — not decided mid-session, when judgment tends to be less objective. Self-exclusion lets you deactivate your account for a set period if you feel you need a complete break rather than just reduced frequency. Contact support to enable either feature.

Get Help

Stop Online Gambling Hotline (Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs / Komdigi): the official government service for anyone who wants to stop gambling online or report a gambling site. Reach it via WhatsApp at s.id/bersamastopjudol or call/WhatsApp 0811-1001-5080.

PKJN RS Marzoeki Mahdi (Bogor) — Behavioral Addiction Clinic: a national mental-health hospital under the Ministry of Health with a dedicated clinical program for gambling disorder (outpatient: individual/family counseling, CBT, motivational interviewing; a 28-day inpatient program for more severe cases). This is real medical and psychological support, not just an awareness message.

Why Deposit Limits Work

Deposit limits work because they lock in a decision made while you're thinking clearly, not in the middle of a betting session. While winning or trying to chase back a loss, judgment about "how much is enough" tends to shift — which is why a limit set in advance, one that can't simply be raised on the spot, is far more effective than just intending to stop. The same principle applies to time limits: setting a maximum session length before you start betting helps prevent a session that was meant to be short from stretching into hours without you noticing.

For Family and Friends

If you're concerned about someone else's betting habits — not your own — the Komdigi hotline above is still the right contact point: the service accepts both reports about gambling sites and requests for help quitting, so it can be used either by someone wanting to stop themselves or by family members looking for a way to help. The signs listed under "Recognizing When Betting Habits Start Becoming Risky" above also work as a guide for noticing a problem in someone else, not just yourself — changes in financial habits, hiding activity, or neglecting responsibilities are equally visible from the outside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can self-exclusion be cancelled early?

The point of self-exclusion is to provide a break that actually holds, not an option that can be reversed the moment the urge to bet returns — contact support to understand the specific terms that apply to your account.

Is the Komdigi hotline paid?

No. It's an official government service and is free, whether reached by WhatsApp or phone.

Is a deposit limit permanent once set?

A deposit limit is designed to hold against a sudden increase mid-session. To change a limit you've already set, contact support.
