Your Safety Tools

Take control of your gaming experience with these built-in protection features

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to control how much you spend. Once a limit is reached, you cannot deposit more until the period resets. Adjustments take 24 hours to become active.

Session Time Limits

Configure automatic logout after a specified playing time. You will receive reminders at intervals you choose. This helps prevent extended gaming sessions and promotes healthy breaks.

Reality Checks

Receive periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. Stay aware of your gaming activity with real-time notifications.

Cool-Off Period

Take a temporary break from gaming for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you cannot log in or access your account. Your balance remains safe and available after the cool-off ends.

Self-Exclusion

Request temporary or permanent account closure if you feel gaming is becoming a problem. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to permanent. This decision is irreversible during the exclusion period.

Activity History

Review your complete gaming history, including all bets placed, wins and losses, deposits and withdrawals. Export reports for personal record-keeping and self-assessment.

Important Notice: If you believe your gaming has become problematic or you are experiencing financial, emotional, or relationship difficulties due to gambling, please seek help immediately. Contact our support team or reach out to professional problem gambling organizations listed at the bottom of this page.

Age Verification & Legal Compliance

bds168 is committed to preventing underage gambling. Access to our platform is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and older, in accordance with Indonesian legal requirements and our licensing obligations.

We employ multiple verification measures to ensure compliance:

  • Account Registration: Date of birth is required during signup, and accounts are automatically rejected if the user is under 21
  • KYC Verification: Government-issued identification (KTP or passport) is verified before the first withdrawal to confirm age and identity
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Suspicious accounts flagged by our fraud detection system undergo additional age verification checks
  • Parental Controls: We encourage parents and guardians to use internet filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling sites

If you are under 21, you must leave this site immediately. Underage gambling is illegal, harmful, and strictly prohibited. Parents or guardians who discover a minor has accessed bds168 should contact us immediately at [email protected].

What is Healthy Gaming?

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Healthy gaming means playing within your limits, staying in control, and stopping when it stops being fun.

Principles of Responsible Gaming

  • Set a Budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money needed for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses
  • Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it. Take regular breaks to maintain perspective
  • Never Chase Losses: Losing is part of gambling. Trying to win back losses by betting more almost always leads to bigger losses
  • Don't Gamble When Upset: Avoid gaming when you are angry, depressed, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Balance with Other Activities: Gambling should be one of many leisure activities, not your primary form of entertainment
  • Understand the Odds: All casino games have a house edge. Over time, the casino always wins. Gambling is entertainment, not investment
  • Keep Track: Monitor your wins and losses honestly. Many problem gamblers overestimate wins and underestimate losses
  • Ask for Help: If you feel your gaming is becoming problematic, reach out to friends, family, or professional support services immediately

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is a serious behavioral disorder that can have devastating consequences on your finances, relationships, mental health, and overall quality of life. Early recognition and intervention are critical.

How to Set Your Limits

bds168 provides multiple tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activity. All limit settings can be configured directly from your Account dashboard under "Responsible Gaming Settings."

Deposit Limits

Control how much money you can deposit into your bds168 account over a specified period:

  • Daily Limit: Maximum deposit amount within any 24-hour period
  • Weekly Limit: Maximum deposit amount within any 7-day rolling period
  • Monthly Limit: Maximum deposit amount within any 30-day rolling period

Once you reach your limit, you cannot make additional deposits until the period resets. Limit increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period. Limit decreases take effect immediately.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum playing session duration. When your time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. You can log back in after a mandatory break period. We recommend setting session limits of 60-90 minutes with 15-minute breaks.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that display your current session length and net profit/loss. You can configure reminders to appear every 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Each reminder gives you the option to continue playing or log out.

Adjusting Your Limits

To modify your responsible gaming settings:

  1. Log in to your bds168 account
  2. Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming
  3. Select the limit type you wish to change
  4. Enter your desired limit amount or time period
  5. Confirm your changes (decreases are immediate; increases take effect after 24 hours)

Self-Exclusion & Account Closure

If you feel that you need a break from gambling or that your gaming has become problematic, bds168 offers self-exclusion options ranging from temporary cool-off periods to permanent account closure.

Cool-Off Periods (Temporary Break)

Request a short-term break from your bds168 account. During the cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, play, or access your account in any way. Available durations:

  • 24 hours: One-day break to reset and regain perspective
  • 7 days: One-week break for more serious reflection
  • 30 days: One-month break to evaluate your relationship with gambling

Your account balance remains safe during the cool-off period. After the period expires, your account automatically reopens and you can withdraw funds or resume playing.

Self-Exclusion (Extended Break)

Request a longer-term account closure if you recognize signs of problem gambling. Self-exclusion periods include:

  • 6 months: Minimum recommended self-exclusion for problem gambling recovery
  • 1 year: Extended exclusion for serious gambling problems
  • 3 years: Long-term exclusion for chronic problem gambling
  • 5 years: Maximum fixed-term exclusion
  • Permanent: Lifetime account closure with no option to reopen

Important: Self-exclusion is irreversible during the exclusion period. You cannot reopen your account, create a new account, or circumvent the exclusion in any way. Attempting to do so will result in account forfeiture and reporting to regulatory authorities.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

To initiate self-exclusion, contact our support team via:

  • Live chat with "Self-Exclusion Request" as the subject
  • Email to [email protected] with "Self-Exclusion" in the subject line

Our team will guide you through the process, answer your questions, and activate the exclusion within 24 hours. You will receive email confirmation once the exclusion is active.

Withdrawal During Exclusion: You may withdraw any remaining balance from your account before or during the self-exclusion period. Contact support to request a final withdrawal. Once processed, your account will be fully closed.
