At 8988a, we believe gaming should always be entertaining, never harmful. We're committed to providing tools, resources, and support to help you maintain control and play responsibly.
8988a is committed to promoting responsible gaming and protecting our players from the potential harms of problem gambling. We recognize that while the vast majority of our users enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment, a small percentage may develop unhealthy gambling habits that negatively impact their lives, relationships, and financial wellbeing.
As a responsible gaming platform serving Indonesian players, we take our duty of care seriously. We have implemented comprehensive player protection measures, self-control tools, and support resources to ensure that gambling remains what it should be: an enjoyable leisure activity, not a source of stress, financial hardship, or addiction.
This page explains the responsible gaming tools available on the 8988a platform, provides guidance on recognizing problem gambling warning signs, and directs you to professional support resources if you or someone you know needs help.
8988a services are strictly available only to individuals aged 21 years or older. Gambling by minors is illegal and harmful. We verify the age of all users through KTP (Indonesian National Identity Card) validation during account registration. If you are under 21, you are not permitted to create an account or use our services.
Parents and guardians: Please monitor your children's online activities and ensure they do not access gambling sites. Use parental control software and educate young people about the risks of underage gambling.
8988a provides a comprehensive suite of self-control tools designed to help you manage your gaming activity and maintain healthy gambling habits. All tools are accessible directly through your account settings and can be activated or modified at any time.
Set maximum deposit amounts on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a deposit limit is reached, you will not be able to add more funds until the specified time period resets. Deposit limits help you control your gambling expenditure and prevent impulsive decisions. You can decrease your deposit limit at any time (effective immediately), but increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to take effect.
Activate time-based reminders to receive notifications after playing for a specified duration (e.g., after 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours). These pop-up alerts remind you how long you've been playing and prompt you to take a break or log out. Time reminders help prevent excessive gaming sessions and maintain a healthy balance between gambling and other life activities.
Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily restrict your access to the 8988a platform for a set period or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit funds, place bets, or access your account in any way. We offer flexible self-exclusion options:
Self-exclusion requests cannot be reversed during the chosen period. This ensures the tool provides genuine protection when you need it most. If you request permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed permanently and any remaining balance will be refunded to your registered bank account.
If you feel you need a short break but aren't ready to commit to full self-exclusion, you can activate a cool-off period of 24 hours to 7 days. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended, and you won't be able to log in or place bets. Cool-off periods give you breathing room to reassess your gambling habits without the permanence of self-exclusion.
Access detailed reports of your gaming activity, including total deposits, total withdrawals, total bets placed, total winnings, and net profit/loss over various time periods. Regularly reviewing your activity statements helps you maintain awareness of your spending and win/loss patterns, enabling more informed decision-making about your gambling habits.
Enable reality check pop-ups that periodically display how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered during the current session. These prompts serve as gentle reminders to help you stay aware of time and money spent, preventing the loss of perspective that can occur during extended gaming sessions.
All responsible gaming tools can be accessed by logging into your 8988a account, navigating to "Account Settings," and selecting "Responsible Gaming Tools." You can activate, modify, or deactivate tools at any time (subject to cooling-off periods for certain changes). If you need assistance setting up these tools, our 24/7 customer support team is available via live chat, WhatsApp, or email to guide you through the process.
