At grab98, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable, controlled experience. Our comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools is designed to help every player on our platform — from Jakarta to Bali — stay informed, stay in control, and play within their means.
grab98 provides every registered player with a full suite of account management tools to support responsible, sustainable gaming habits.
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your Account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Define a net loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your accumulated losses reach the limit you have set, your Account will be automatically restricted from placing further bets until the period renews. This tool is one of the most effective safeguards against uncontrolled spending.
Set a maximum continuous session duration. Once you have been logged in for your chosen period, you will be automatically signed out and prompted to take a break. Regular session breaks help maintain perspective and prevent the kind of extended play that can lead to poor decision-making.
Enable timed pop-up notifications that appear at regular intervals during your session — for example, every 30 or 60 minutes. Each reminder displays your current session duration, net balance change, and a prompt to review whether you wish to continue. Small reminders make a significant difference.
Need a short break from gambling without closing your Account permanently? The time-out feature allows you to suspend your Account for a fixed period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a time-out, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your balance and history are safely preserved.
If you feel that gambling is causing serious harm to your life, finances, or relationships, you may voluntarily exclude yourself from the grab98 Platform for a minimum of 6 months, up to a permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion requests are processed immediately and are irreversible for the chosen duration. Contact our support team to activate this option.
The table below summarizes how each responsible gaming limit works, how quickly it takes effect, and how you can adjust it. All limits can be configured through your Account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit Limit | Daily / Weekly / Monthly | Immediately | After 24 hours | Yes, with 24-hour delay |

| Self-Exclusion | 6 months / 1 year / 5 years / Permanent | Immediately | N/A — cannot be shortened | No — irreversible for chosen period |
Honest self-reflection is one of the most powerful tools available to any player. Review the questions below carefully. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to contact our support team, activate a time-out or self-exclusion, and consider reaching out to a professional counseling service.
If you answered "yes" to two or more questions: Please do not hesitate to seek help. You can contact the grab98 support team at [email protected] at any time to activate a time-out or self-exclusion. Our support agents are trained to handle these requests with full confidentiality and without judgment. Taking this step is a sign of strength, not weakness.
grab98 enforces a strict minimum age policy across all aspects of its Platform. You must be at least 21 years of age to register an Account, make a deposit, place a bet, or participate in any promotional activity offered by grab98. This requirement applies to all players regardless of their city or region of residence within Indonesia — whether you are based in Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Bali, Medan, or anywhere else.
All new Accounts are subject to a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before withdrawals are permitted and periodically during the account lifecycle. As part of this process, you will be required to submit a government-issued identity document — such as a KTP (Indonesian national identity card) or passport — confirming that you are 21 years of age or older. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to an adult will be suspended and any funds held will be handled in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
If you share a computer, tablet, or mobile device with family members — particularly children or teenagers — we strongly recommend taking the following precautions:
Reporting Underage Access: If you have reason to believe that a person under the age of 21 has registered or is actively using a grab98 Account — whether your own or another — please contact us at [email protected] immediately. We take all such reports seriously and act on them without delay.
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive protection tool available on the grab98 Platform. It is designed for players who recognize that their gambling has become harmful and who need a firm, enforced break. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period has elapsed — this is intentional, and it is there to protect you.
Reach out via the 24/7 live chat on the grab98 Platform or send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our trained responsible gaming agents will handle your request with complete confidentiality.
Select from a minimum of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. You can also request an indefinite exclusion with no set end date. Our agent will confirm your chosen period before proceeding.
To ensure the request is genuine and originates from the Account holder, we will verify your identity using the details on your registered Account. This step protects you from any third party attempting to exclude your Account without your knowledge.
Once confirmed, your Account will be suspended immediately. You will be logged out automatically, all active sessions will terminate, and no further logins, deposits, or bets will be possible for the duration of your exclusion period.
As part of the self-exclusion process, grab98 will immediately remove you from all promotional mailing lists and push notification campaigns. You will not receive any bonus offers, event promotions, or re-engagement communications during your exclusion period.
Important: If you have self-excluded and later attempt to open a new Account with grab98 using different personal details, your new Account will be closed and any deposits will be returned once the connection is identified. grab98 takes self-exclusion commitments seriously and uses identity-matching systems to enforce them.
Beyond the technical tools we provide, responsible gaming is built on a foundation of informed, mindful habits. The following principles are encouraged for every player on the grab98 Platform:
The house always has a statistical edge over time. Gambling should be treated as a form of paid entertainment — similar to buying a cinema ticket or attending a sporting event — rather than a reliable way to generate income. Set a budget that you are completely comfortable losing, because there is always a chance you will. Never gamble with money allocated for essential expenses such as rent, food, school fees, or utilities.
Whether you are betting on BRI Liga 1 football, placing a mix parlay (a multi-leg accumulator bet popular with Indonesian sports bettors), or spinning slots from Pragmatic Play, understanding the rules and odds of each game helps you make informed choices. Knowledge of how odds and return-to-player (RTP) percentages work reduces the risk of unrealistic expectations.
One of the most common patterns in problem gambling is the urge to place progressively larger bets after a losing streak in an attempt to recover previous losses quickly. This behavior — commonly known as "chasing losses" — almost always leads to larger cumulative losses. If you find yourself chasing, take a break immediately. Use our time-out feature or speak to our support team.
A healthy approach to gambling means it occupies a proportionate and limited share of your leisure time. If you notice that gaming is crowding out other hobbies, social activities, or time with family, this is a warning signal worth taking seriously. Maintaining diverse interests and social connections is a strong protective factor against problem gambling.
It is easy to lose track of time during an engaging session. Use grab98's built-in session timer and reality check reminders to maintain awareness of how long you have been playing and how much your net balance has changed. Reviewing your transaction history regularly in your Account dashboard is also a healthy habit.
If gambling is causing you distress, our support team is available around the clock. Reach out through any of the following channels — all conversations are treated with complete confidentiality.
