Setting Your First Limit
If you're new to responsible gaming tools, we recommend starting with a daily deposit limit. Think about what you can comfortably afford to lose in a day without impacting your budget for essentials like rent, groceries, or transportation. A good rule of thumb is to treat gambling funds the same way you would treat entertainment spending — if you wouldn't spend Rp 500,000 on a concert ticket, don't deposit Rp 500,000 into your gaming account.
Once you've decided on an amount, log in to your account, navigate to the Responsible Gaming section, select "Deposit Limits," and enter your chosen daily maximum. The system will prompt you to confirm. After confirmation, the limit is active immediately and applies to all deposit methods (BCA, BRI, BNI, Mandiri, OVO, DANA, GoPay, etc.).
Combining Multiple Tools
You can — and should — use multiple tools in tandem. For example, setting both a deposit limit and a loss limit provides layered protection: the deposit limit controls inflow, while the loss limit protects you if you hit a losing streak. Adding a session time limit on top ensures you don't lose track of time during an extended evening session.
Many experienced players configure limits as follows:
- Daily deposit limit: Rp 200,000
- Weekly loss limit: Rp 500,000
- Session time limit: 2 hours, with a mandatory 15-minute break
- Reality check notifications: every 60 minutes
This combination keeps spending in check, prevents chasing losses, and ensures regular breaks to evaluate your play with a clear head.
Modifying or Removing Limits
Limits can be decreased at any time and take effect immediately. However, increases to existing limits are subject to a 7-day cooling-off period. This delay is intentional — it prevents you from impulsively raising limits during a losing streak when emotions are running high. If you request an increase, the new limit will apply 7 days after the request, giving you time to reconsider whether the increase is truly necessary.
Removing a limit entirely follows the same 7-day rule. Once again, this protects you from making rash decisions in the heat of the moment.
Activating Self-Exclusion
If you feel gambling is no longer under your control, self-exclusion is the most effective step you can take. To activate it, go to Responsible Gaming settings, select "Self-Exclusion," choose your desired period (30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent), and confirm your decision. You will receive a confirmation email immediately.
Self-exclusion is irreversible during the chosen period. You cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Our support team cannot override an active self-exclusion request — this is by design to protect you from impulse. If you selected a temporary exclusion (e.g., 90 days), you must contact support once the period expires to reopen your account. Permanent self-exclusion requires contacting support and demonstrating that you have sought professional help before the account can be reconsidered for reopening.
Self-exclusion applies only to mega88. If you have accounts on other gambling platforms, you must self-exclude from each separately. Consider reaching out to each platform directly or using national self-exclusion registries if available in Indonesia.
