Gambling at pg389 should always be an enjoyable form of entertainment — never a source of financial stress or personal harm. We have built a comprehensive set of tools, policies, and support channels to ensure every player on our platform can set boundaries, stay in control, and seek help when they need it.
At pg389, we believe that a well-run platform carries a genuine duty of care toward its players. That conviction is not a regulatory formality — it is embedded in the way we have designed our product, trained our support team, and structured our promotions. Every feature on pg389 is built with the understanding that the vast majority of our players across Indonesia — from Jakarta to Bali, from Bandung to Makassar — are here for entertainment, and that we have a responsibility to keep it that way.
Our Responsible Gaming Programme is built around four core principles: prevention (stopping problem gambling before it starts), detection (identifying at-risk behaviour through account monitoring), intervention (equipping players with tools to pause or limit their activity), and support (connecting players in need with professional help quickly and without judgment).
All of the tools described on this page are available free of charge to every registered pg389 Member. They can be activated at any time through your Account settings or by contacting our support team directly. Some tools, once activated, cannot be reversed without a mandatory cooling-off period — this is by design, ensuring that in-the-moment impulse decisions do not override a considered choice to take a break.
Every tool on this page is audited and tested by our compliance team on a quarterly basis.
Deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion all take effect immediately once requested.
Our native Indonesian-speaking agents are trained in responsible gaming conversations, 24/7.
Self-exclusion locks are irreversible for the chosen period — no override, no exceptions.
pg389 enforces a strict minimum age of 21 years for all registered Members. This is not merely a checkbox in a registration form — it is backed by documentary identity verification (KYC) that every new account must pass before deposits and real-money play are enabled.
During registration, you will be required to provide your date of birth. Before your first withdrawal — and in many cases before your first deposit — you will be asked to submit a government-issued identity document: an Indonesian KTP (Kartu Tanda Penduduk, the national identity card), SIM (driving licence), or valid passport. Our verification system confirms both your identity and your age automatically.
If our system detects that an Account may be held by or accessed by a person under 21, the Account will be suspended immediately and all activity reviewed. Any net real-money deposits made by a verified underage player will be returned to the originating payment method.
Enter your full legal name, date of birth, email address, and mobile number during sign-up. You must confirm that you are 21 or older before proceeding.
Upload a clear photo or scan of your KTP, SIM, or passport. The document must be valid (not expired) and the details must match the information provided at registration.
Our identity verification system performs an automated check within minutes. Edge cases are escalated to a human reviewer. The process is typically completed within one business hour during peak WIB times.
Once verified, your Account is fully activated and all deposit and withdrawal methods are available. Your identity documents are stored securely in encrypted form under our Privacy Policy.
pg389 reserves the right to request updated verification documents at any time if our systems flag unusual Account activity or if your verification documents approach expiry.
Every pg389 Member has access to the following tools at no cost. All tools can be activated instantly through your Account dashboard or by contacting our 24/7 support team.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limit increases take 24 hours to apply; reductions take effect immediately.
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose over a set period. When your net loss reaches the threshold you have defined, your Account is automatically restricted from further wagering until the next period begins.
Define a maximum single-session duration. When your session time expires, you will be automatically logged out and prompted to take a break before you can log in again. Perfect for maintaining healthy play habits.
Receive a periodic on-screen notification reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in your current session. Reality checks can be set at intervals of 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes.
Take a short break from the platform for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a time-out, your Account remains open but deposits and wagering are fully disabled. The period cannot be shortened once set.
Permanently or semi-permanently exclude yourself from pg389 for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or indefinitely. During exclusion, your Account is fully locked, all marketing is suppressed, and re-registration attempts are blocked.
All tools are available via Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, or by messaging our support team.

Most people gamble for entertainment, and for most players it stays that way. But for some, gambling patterns can shift gradually in ways that are hard to notice from the inside. The questions to the right are designed to help you reflect honestly on your relationship with gambling.
If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use one of pg389's player protection tools — a time-out or self-exclusion — and to reach out to a qualified support organisation. This is not a clinical diagnostic tool; it is a prompt for honest self-reflection.
There is no shame in recognising that gambling is causing problems. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our support team is available around the clock, every day of the year — including during Idul Fitri, Ramadhan, and all other Indonesian public holidays.
Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned or could comfortably afford?
Have you gambled to try to win back money you have previously lost (known as "chasing losses")?
Has gambling ever caused arguments, tension, or worry within your family or close relationships?
Have you ever borrowed money, sold possessions, or taken on debt specifically to fund gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session or replaying past bets — even when you are at work or with family?
Have you ever felt irritable, restless, or anxious when you tried to cut down or stop gambling?
Have you ever concealed the extent of your gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues?
Have you ever used gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties?
Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to players who feel that gambling is causing harm. When you self-exclude, your pg389 Account is immediately and fully locked — you cannot deposit, wager, or log in. All promotional emails and bonus notifications are permanently suppressed for the duration of the exclusion period.
We take self-exclusion seriously. If you attempt to re-register a new Account during your exclusion period, our systems are designed to detect and block that attempt. If you are aware that you have circumvented a self-exclusion block, please contact us immediately — we will re-apply the exclusion without question.
Self-exclusion must be initiated via Live Chat or by emailing [email protected] from your registered email address. Include "Self-Exclusion Request" in the subject line.
Select from 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or indefinite (permanent). We recommend choosing a longer period if you are uncertain — it is easier to review after a long period than to regret a short one.
Your Account is locked within minutes of your request being received. You will receive a confirmation email. Any pending withdrawals of real-money balances will be processed to your registered payment method.
When your chosen exclusion period expires, your Account is not automatically reactivated. You must contact us in writing and complete a review process with our responsible gaming team before access is restored.
If gambling has become a serious problem for you or someone you care about, professional support organisations exist that specialise in exactly this area. pg389 strongly encourages any player experiencing gambling-related harm to reach out to one of the following types of resource:
Many countries operate free, confidential gambling helplines staffed by trained counsellors. In Indonesia, mental health support is available through national health services — reach out to a general mental health helpline if a dedicated gambling line is not available in your area.
Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is a free, peer-supported fellowship programme for people who believe they have a gambling problem. GA meetings — including online sessions accessible from Indonesia — follow a proven 12-step recovery framework.
A licensed psychologist or cognitive-behavioural therapist experienced in addictive behaviour can provide structured, evidence-based treatment for problem gambling. Your primary care doctor or a local clinic in cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, or Bandung can provide referrals.
Talking openly with a trusted family member or friend is often the first step toward recovery. Gam-Anon, a companion programme to Gamblers Anonymous, provides support specifically for the family members and loved ones of problem gamblers.
The internet creates real risks that minors may inadvertently — or deliberately — access gambling platforms. pg389 takes this risk seriously and has implemented multiple layers of protection beyond basic age declaration at registration. Our KYC process requires documentary proof of age before real-money play is permitted, and our systems are configured to flag accounts showing behavioural patterns inconsistent with an adult user.
We strongly recommend that parents and guardians in Indonesia take the following additional steps to protect minors in their households:
Free and paid parental control tools are available for all major operating systems (Android, iOS, Windows, macOS). These can block access to gambling-category websites at the device level.
Most modern home routers sold in Indonesia support content-category filtering. Enabling gambling-category blocks at the router level covers all devices on your home network simultaneously.
Never share your pg389 username or password with household members, and log out of your Account on any shared device. Unauthorised access by a minor through a parent's Account is a serious safeguarding risk.
Research shows that young people whose families discuss gambling honestly — including its risks and the difference between entertainment and addiction — are significantly less likely to develop problem gambling behaviour in adulthood.
The players who enjoy gambling the most over the long term are those who treat it as entertainment — not as a financial strategy. The following habits will help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling on pg389:
