Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to You

89zk is committed to promoting responsible gambling practices across every product we offer — from sports betting on BRI Liga 1, Timnas Indonesia matches, EPL, La Liga, and Champions League fixtures, to live casino tables, togel (Indonesia's traditional numbers lottery), and slot games from providers like Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, and NetEnt. Gambling should be a form of leisure entertainment, never a way to solve financial problems or escape from stress.

Our Responsible Gaming framework is built on three pillars: prevention through education and awareness; intervention through proactive monitoring and accessible control tools; and support through 24/7 access to Indonesian-speaking customer care trained in responsible gaming protocols. Every feature we build, every bonus we design, and every communication we send is reviewed against a responsible gaming checklist to ensure that Player welfare is protected at every touchpoint.

We believe that transparency, player autonomy, and early intervention are the most effective ways to prevent gambling-related harm. This page details the full suite of Responsible Gaming tools available to every 89zk Player, along with guidance on recognizing problem gambling behaviors and accessing external support resources if needed.

Age Requirement

In accordance with Indonesian law and international best practices for online gambling operators, 89zk enforces a strict minimum age policy of 21 years. No individual under the age of 21 is permitted to register an account, place a bet, or access any real-money gaming product on the 89zk platform.

Age verification is a mandatory step in our Know Your Customer (KYC) process. During account registration and before your first withdrawal request, you will be required to submit a valid government-issued identity document — such as your Indonesian National Identity Card (KTP) or a valid passport — to confirm that you meet the 21+ age requirement. Accounts found to be operated by individuals under 21 years of age will be immediately closed, and any deposited funds will be refunded after deducting amounts forfeited under our Terms & Conditions.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Recognizing the early warning signs is the first step toward regaining control. If you identify with one or more of the following behaviors, we strongly encourage you to make use of the tools described on this page and consider reaching out for support:

• Spending more than you can afford: Betting with money earmarked for rent, bills, food, or family needs.
• Chasing losses: Placing larger bets or making impulsive deposits in an attempt to win back money lost in previous sessions.
• Gambling to escape stress or negative emotions: Using betting as a way to cope with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or work stress rather than as entertainment.
• Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, failing to complete important tasks, or withdrawing from family and social commitments due to time spent gambling.
• Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards beyond your means, or borrowing from friends and family to fund betting activity.
• Lying about gambling activity: Concealing the amount of time or money spent on gambling from loved ones.
• Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling: Experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms when unable to place bets.
• Increasing bet sizes or frequency over time: Needing to wager more to achieve the same level of excitement or satisfaction.

If any of these behaviors resonate with you, please consider activating one or more of the tools described below, and do not hesitate to contact our support team for guidance on the next steps.

Available Responsible Gaming Tools

89zk offers a comprehensive suite of account control tools that allow you to set boundaries on your gambling activity. These tools are accessible directly from your account settings and are designed to be easy to activate, transparent in their effect, and immediate in their enforcement. All tools are free to use and can be adjusted at any time, though certain restrictions apply to ensure their effectiveness (e.g., a cooling-off period before a limit increase takes effect).

Below is a summary of each tool. Detailed instructions for activating each feature are provided in the sections that follow.

Deposit Limits

How It Works

Deposit limits allow you to control the maximum amount of Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) you can deposit into your 89zk account over a defined period. You may set limits on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and you may set multiple limits simultaneously (e.g., a daily limit of Rp 500,000 and a monthly limit of Rp 5,000,000). Once the limit for any active period is reached, the platform will automatically block further deposit attempts until the next period begins.

Setting a Deposit Limit

1. Log in to your 89zk account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Deposit Limits.
2. Select the time period (daily, weekly, or monthly) for which you wish to set a limit.
3. Enter the maximum deposit amount in IDR for that period.
4. Confirm your selection. The limit will take effect immediately.

Modifying a Deposit Limit

• To decrease a limit: Decreases take effect immediately. For example, if you currently have a monthly limit of Rp 10,000,000 and reduce it to Rp 5,000,000, the new limit applies right away.
• To increase a limit: Increases are subject to a mandatory 72-hour cooling-off period. During this time, the original lower limit remains in force. After 72 hours, the new higher limit becomes active. This delay is designed to prevent impulsive limit increases during periods of heightened emotional decision-making.
• To remove a limit entirely: Limit removals are treated as increases and are also subject to the 72-hour delay.

Session & Time Limits

Session time limits allow you to define a maximum duration for a single continuous session on the 89zk platform. When the time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. This tool is particularly useful for preventing extended gambling sessions that occur during late-night hours or periods when decision-making may be impaired due to fatigue or emotional distress.

How to Activate

1. Navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Session Time Limits.
2. Select your preferred maximum session duration from the available options: 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, or custom (up to 8 hours).
3. Confirm your selection. The limit will apply to all future sessions starting from your next login.

Once the session time limit is reached, you will receive an on-screen notification and be automatically logged out after 60 seconds. You may log back in after a brief cooling-off period of 15 minutes.

Reality Check Reminders

Reality Check is a voluntary notification system that displays periodic reminders during your active session. Each reminder shows your current session duration (time since login) and your net wagering position (total amount wagered minus total winnings returned to your balance).

Reality Check reminders do not interrupt active gameplay; they appear as non-intrusive overlays that can be dismissed after a minimum display time of 10 seconds. The purpose of this tool is to promote self-awareness and help you make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

How to Enable

1. Go to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Reality Check.
2. Set the reminder frequency (e.g., every 30 minutes, every 60 minutes, every 90 minutes).
3. Save your preference. Reality Check notifications will begin appearing at the specified intervals during all future sessions.

Cooling-Off Period (Time-Out)

A cooling-off period, also known as a time-out, is a temporary account suspension that lasts for a fixed duration chosen by you. During a time-out, you will not be able to log in to your account, place new bets, make deposits, or request withdrawals. Any open bets placed before the time-out began will be settled normally according to their outcome, and your account balance will remain intact and available once the time-out expires.

Available Time-Out Periods

You may choose from the following time-out durations:

• 24 hours (1 day)
• 48 hours (2 days)
• 72 hours (3 days)
• 1 week (7 days)
• 2 weeks (14 days)
• 1 month (30 days)
• 6 weeks (42 days)

How to Request a Time-Out

1. Navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming > Cooling-Off Period.
2. Select your desired time-out duration.
3. Confirm the request. Your account will be immediately suspended. You will receive an email confirmation with the expected reactivation date.

Time-outs cannot be reversed or shortened once activated. If you attempt to log in during a time-out period, you will see a notification indicating the remaining duration of the suspension. This irreversibility is by design — it ensures that the time-out provides a genuine break from gambling activity.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming measure available on the 89zk platform. It is designed for Players who recognize that they need a complete and extended break from all forms of gambling. When you self-exclude, your account is permanently closed for a minimum period of 6 months, and you will not be able to create a new account during that time.

What Happens When You Self-Exclude

• Your account is immediately and permanently closed. You will be logged out and will not be able to log back in.
• All marketing communications from 89zk will cease immediately. You will no longer receive promotional emails, SMS messages, or push notifications.
• Any open bets at the time of exclusion will be settled normally, and the results will be credited to your balance.
• Your remaining account balance will be available for withdrawal. You will receive an email with instructions on how to complete the withdrawal process. If you do not request a withdrawal within 30 days, 89zk will contact you via registered email to arrange the return of funds.
• Your personal data will be retained in a restricted archive for compliance and fraud-prevention purposes, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
• The self-exclusion period cannot be reversed. You may not reactivate your account or create a new account for a minimum of 6 months from the date of exclusion.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion requests must be submitted in writing to ensure clarity of intent. To self-exclude from 89zk:

1. Send an email to [email protected] from the email address registered to your 89zk account.
2. Use the subject line: "Self-Exclusion Request".
3. In the email body, state clearly: "I request permanent self-exclusion from the 89zk platform. I understand that this decision cannot be reversed for a minimum of 6 months."
4. Our team will process your request within 24 hours and send you a confirmation email with the effective exclusion start date and the earliest date on which you may apply for reinstatement.

Alternatively, you may contact our WhatsApp support line at +62 811 8900 8989 and request to speak with a responsible gaming specialist, who will guide you through the self-exclusion process.

Reinstatement After Self-Exclusion

After the minimum 6-month exclusion period has elapsed, you may apply for reinstatement by contacting our support team. Reinstatement is not automatic. Our team will conduct a brief review call with you to ensure that you feel ready to return to gambling responsibly. We may also recommend that you reactivate your account with deposit limits or session limits already in place as a precautionary measure.
