Your wellbeing is our priority. Learn about our commitment to safe gambling, available tools to stay in control, and support resources if you need help.
At apkjoy, we believe that online betting and gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, never a source of harm or distress. We are deeply committed to promoting responsible gaming practices among Indonesian players and ensuring that our platform remains a safe environment for recreational gambling.
Online betting on sports like BRI Liga 1, EPL, La Liga, Champions League, playing live casino games from Evolution Gaming and Ezugi, spinning slots from Pragmatic Play and Microgaming, or participating in togel (Indonesia's traditional lottery) should always be within your means and under your control. When gambling stops being fun and starts causing problems in your life, relationships, or finances, it's time to take action.
apkjoy operates under a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that includes mandatory age verification (21+ only), sophisticated monitoring systems to detect problem gambling behaviors, readily accessible control tools for users, transparent information about game odds and risks, and partnerships with professional gambling support organizations. We continuously train our customer support team to recognize signs of problem gambling and provide compassionate assistance to users who need help.
This page provides essential information about responsible gaming principles, practical tools you can use to maintain control, warning signs of problem gambling, and resources for getting help. We encourage all Indonesian players to read this information carefully and use the available tools to ensure your apkjoy experience remains positive and healthy.
Following these simple principles can help ensure that gambling remains entertainment and never becomes a problem:
Before you start betting, decide how much money you can afford to lose. This should be discretionary income—money that won't affect your ability to pay rent, buy food, support your family, or meet other essential obligations. Never gamble with money you need for necessities. Never borrow money to gamble. Never chase losses by depositing more than your planned budget. Treat your gambling budget as the cost of entertainment, like going to a movie or dining out.
Decide in advance how much time you'll spend gambling. It's easy to lose track of time when you're engaged in exciting sports betting on Indonesian football (BRI Liga 1 matches featuring Persija, Persib, Bali United) or international leagues, playing immersive live casino games, or spinning slot reels. Set an alarm on your phone to remind you when your time is up. Take regular breaks—step away from the screen, stretch, get some fresh air. Never let gambling interfere with work, family time, sleep, or other important activities.
Losing is part of gambling. The house always has an edge, and no betting strategy can guarantee wins. If you lose your budgeted amount, accept it and walk away. Never try to "win back" lost money by placing larger bets or depositing more funds. Chasing losses is one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors and often leads to serious financial problems. Remember: gambling outcomes are random. Past losses don't influence future results.
Alcohol, drugs, and certain medications can impair your judgment, lower inhibitions, and make you more likely to take irrational risks. Never gamble when you're intoxicated. Wait until you're sober and thinking clearly. Similarly, don't gamble when you're emotionally upset, angry, depressed, or stressed. These mental states can lead to impulsive, reckless betting decisions you'll regret later.
Gambling should be one leisure activity among many, not your primary hobby or social outlet. Maintain a balanced lifestyle with work, family time, physical exercise, social activities with friends, hobbies, and other interests. If gambling starts crowding out other important parts of your life, it's a warning sign that your habit may be becoming unhealthy.
All casino games, slots, and betting markets are designed so that the operator has a mathematical advantage over time. This doesn't mean you can't win—short-term wins are common and part of what makes gambling exciting—but over the long run, you should expect to lose more than you win. Treat gambling as entertainment with a cost, not as a way to make money. There is no "system" or "strategy" that can overcome the house edge.
apkjoy provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling activity. These features are designed to support responsible gaming and can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our customer support team.
Set maximum amounts you can deposit over specific time periods (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once you reach your limit, you won't be able to deposit additional funds until the time period resets. This helps you stick to your budget and prevents impulsive overspending. Deposit limits can be set in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and apply to all payment methods including Indonesian banks (BCA, BRI, BNI, Mandiri, CIMB Niaga, OCBC NISP, Bank Danamon, BSI, Bank Permata) and e-wallets (OVO, DANA, GoPay, ShopeePay, LinkAja). You can decrease your deposit limit at any time, and it takes effect immediately. Increases to deposit limits require a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set maximum amounts you're willing to lose within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). When you reach your loss limit, you'll be prevented from placing further bets until the period resets. This helps protect you from significant financial losses and forces a break if things aren't going well. Loss limits consider net losses (total bets minus total winnings) across all gaming activities including sports betting, live casino, and slots.
Set maximum duration for your gaming sessions. When your time limit is reached, you'll be automatically logged out of your apkjoy account. This helps you maintain awareness of how much time you're spending gambling and prevents marathon sessions that can lead to fatigue and poor decision-making. We also provide reality check reminders that pop up at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes) to remind you how long you've been playing.
Take a short break from gambling by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 72 hours, or 7 days. During this time, you won't be able to access your account or place any bets. This feature is helpful if you feel you're losing control or need time to reassess your gambling behavior. Cooling-off periods cannot be reversed once activated—you must wait until the period expires. Your account balance remains secure during this time.
For more serious concerns, you can self-exclude from apkjoy for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be completely deactivated. You won't be able to log in, deposit funds, or access any apkjoy services. Self-exclusion is a serious step for players who recognize they have a gambling problem and need to stop completely. See the dedicated Self-Exclusion section below for more details.
How to Activate These Tools: Log into your apkjoy account, go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, and select the tool you want to use. Alternatively, contact our 24/7 customer support team via live chat or email ([email protected]) and they will activate any tool for you immediately. Our support staff are trained to handle responsible gaming requests with discretion and compassion.
Problem gambling, also called gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is a serious condition that can have devastating effects on your life, relationships, health, and finances. It's characterized by an inability to control gambling impulses despite negative consequences.
If you recognize three or more of these signs in yourself, you may have a gambling problem and should seek help immediately. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and many resources are available to support your recovery.
In Indonesian culture, family bonds and responsibilities are paramount. Problem gambling can devastate not just the individual but entire families. Financial losses from gambling can prevent parents from providing for children's education, cause families to fall behind on rent or mortgage payments, lead to debt with relatives or informal lenders, and create severe stress that damages relationships. If your gambling is affecting your ability to fulfill your responsibilities to your family, please seek help immediately. Recovery is possible, and protecting your family's wellbeing is worth the effort to change.
Self-exclusion is a voluntary program that allows you to ban yourself from accessing apkjoy's services for a set period if you feel gambling has become a problem. This is a powerful tool for individuals who recognize they need to stop gambling completely to address problematic behavior.
When you self-exclude, your apkjoy account will be immediately deactivated. You will not be able to log in, deposit funds, place bets, or access any gambling services. Any pending withdrawals will be processed, and your remaining account balance will be returned to your registered payment method. The minimum self-exclusion period is 6 months. You can choose 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed or cancelled early—you must wait until the exclusion period expires. We will not accept requests to reactivate your account during the exclusion period, even if you change your mind.
Contact our customer support team via live chat, email ([email protected]), or phone and request self-exclusion. Our staff will guide you through the process with confidentiality and respect. You'll need to confirm your identity and specify your desired exclusion period. The exclusion will take effect immediately. You can also submit a self-exclusion request by logging into your account and going to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Self-Exclusion.
When your self-exclusion period expires, your account will not automatically reactivate. You must contact customer support if you wish to resume gambling. We strongly encourage you to carefully consider whether you're ready to gamble again. If you experienced serious problems before exclusion, we recommend seeking professional counseling before returning. apkjoy reserves the right to request evidence of treatment or professional support before reactivating accounts after long exclusion periods.
Consider excluding yourself from all online gambling platforms, not just apkjoy. While we cannot control other operators, we strongly recommend you contact any other betting sites you use and request exclusion there as well. For the most comprehensive protection, consider asking your bank or e-wallet provider to block transactions to gambling sites.
If you're struggling with problem gambling, you don't have to face it alone. Help is available, and recovery is possible. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Several organizations provide free, confidential support for people affected by problem gambling:
Our customer support team is available 24/7 and trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with sensitivity and professionalism. If you're worried about your gambling or need help activating control tools, please reach out:
All responsible gaming inquiries are handled with complete confidentiality. We will not share information about your concerns with anyone else. Our priority is your wellbeing, not whether you continue gambling with us.
Opening up to loved ones about gambling problems can be difficult, but social support is crucial for recovery. Consider confiding in a trusted family member or friend who can provide emotional support and hold you accountable. If you're not ready for that step, professional counselors can help you prepare for these conversations and provide guidance on what to say.
