Gambling should be entertaining, not harmful. At sbouno, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing tools to help you stay in control. Play responsibly, know your limits, and seek help if gambling becomes a problem.
sbouno is an adults-only platform. You must be at least 21 years of age to register an account, place bets, or participate in any gambling activity on our platform. This age restriction is non-negotiable and strictly enforced across all Indonesian provinces. We conduct rigorous age verification checks during account registration and may request additional proof of age at any time. Any user found to be under 21 will have their account immediately closed, and all funds will be returned to the source payment method (where legally permissible). Parents and guardians: please ensure that minors in your household do not have access to your sbouno account.
sbouno recognizes that for most of our 2.5 million members across Indonesia, betting on sports, playing live casino, trying their luck on togel (Indonesia's traditional numbers lottery), or spinning slot gacor (high-RTP slots) is a form of entertainment — a way to add excitement to watching BRI Liga 1 matches, following the Champions League, or simply unwinding after a long day. However, we also understand that for a small percentage of players, gambling can become problematic and lead to financial, emotional, and social harm.
That is why responsible gaming is not an afterthought at sbouno — it is woven into the fabric of our platform. We invest heavily in responsible gaming tools, staff training, and player education. Our support team is trained to recognize signs of problem gambling and is empowered to intervene when necessary. We partner with international organizations dedicated to gambling harm prevention. And we continuously refine our systems to detect at-risk behavior before it escalates into a crisis.
Our goal is simple: to ensure that every player on sbouno enjoys gambling as a safe, controlled, and entertaining activity — never as a source of distress or financial ruin. If you ever feel that gambling is no longer fun, that you are chasing losses, or that betting is interfering with your life, we want you to know that help is available, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
sbouno provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools designed to help you manage your gambling activity, set boundaries, and take breaks when needed. All tools are free to use and can be activated instantly through your account settings.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your sbouno account. Once you reach your limit, you will not be able to deposit additional funds until the limit period resets. Decreasing a limit takes effect immediately; increasing a limit is subject to a 48-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set limits on how much you can lose over a given period (daily, weekly, or monthly). If you reach your loss limit, you will be unable to place further bets until the limit period resets. This tool helps you avoid chasing losses — one of the most common warning signs of problem gambling. Loss limits apply to net losses (total bets minus total winnings).
Set a maximum session duration for each time you log in to sbouno. When your session time expires, you will be automatically logged out and prompted to take a break. This tool is especially useful for players who find it difficult to step away from live casino tables, in-play betting markets, or progressive slot games. You can set session limits ranging from 30 minutes to 6 hours.
Receive periodic notifications while you are logged in, reminding you how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost during the session. Reality checks help you stay aware of time passing and make conscious decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break. You can customize the frequency of these reminders (every 30, 60, or 90 minutes).
Take a short break from gambling by activating a time-out period. During a time-out, your account will be temporarily suspended, and you will not be able to log in, place bets, or deposit funds. Time-out periods can be set for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. This tool is ideal if you feel you need a short break to regain perspective or reassess your gambling habits.
If you feel that gambling has become a serious problem, you can activate self-exclusion for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account will be fully deactivated, you will not receive any marketing communications, and you will not be able to reopen your account or create a new one. Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool available and should be used if you recognize that you cannot control your gambling behavior.
Problem gambling often develops gradually. Knowing the warning signs can help you or someone you care about seek help before the situation worsens.
Take a moment to reflect on your gambling behavior. If you answer "yes" to one or more of the following questions, you may be at risk of developing a gambling problem:
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, we strongly encourage you to reach out for help. Problem gambling is a recognized behavioral disorder, and effective treatment and support services are available. You do not have to face this alone.
If you are struggling with problem gambling, or if you are concerned about a friend or family member's gambling behavior, please contact our Responsible Gaming Support Team. Our trained specialists are available 24/7 via live chat or email () and can provide confidential guidance, connect you with professional counseling services, and help you activate self-exclusion or other protective measures. You can also activate self-exclusion directly through your account settings at any time — no questions asked, no judgment.
sbouno partners with international organizations dedicated to gambling harm prevention. These external resources provide free, confidential counseling and support for individuals affected by problem gambling.
Multiple international gambling support organizations provide 24/7 helplines, online chat, and email support in multiple languages, including Indonesian and English. These services are completely confidential and free of charge. Trained counselors can help you assess your gambling behavior, develop a plan to regain control, and connect you with local treatment providers if needed.
Gamblers Anonymous is a global fellowship of men and women who share their experiences, strength, and hope with each other to recover from problem gambling. GA meetings are peer-led, non-professional, and completely free. Meetings are available in major Indonesian cities including Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, and Medan, as well as online for those who prefer anonymity or do not have access to in-person meetings.
Problem gambling is often linked to underlying mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or substance abuse. Licensed psychologists and psychiatrists in Indonesia offer evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which has been proven effective in treating gambling addiction. sbouno's support team can provide referrals to trusted mental health professionals in your area.
Problem gambling affects not only the individual but also their loved ones. GamAnon and similar organizations provide support groups specifically for family members and friends of problem gamblers. These groups help families understand gambling addiction, set healthy boundaries, and navigate the emotional and financial challenges that come with supporting a loved one in recovery.

Follow these core principles to ensure that gambling remains a fun, safe, and controlled activity.
Never gamble with money you need for essential expenses such as rent, groceries, utility bills, school fees, or medical care. Treat gambling as entertainment with a cost, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Decide in advance how much time you will spend gambling, and stick to that limit. Take regular breaks every 30-60 minutes to step away, stretch, and regain perspective. Never gamble for extended periods without rest.
If you lose money, accept the loss and walk away. Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back what you lost — is one of the fastest paths to problem gambling. Losses are part of gambling; accept them and move on.
Gambling should be enjoyable. If you find yourself feeling stressed, anxious, angry, or depressed while gambling — or if gambling stops being fun — it's time to take a break or stop altogether. Do not gamble to escape problems or cope with negative emotions.
Do not gamble while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that impairs your judgment. Making clear-headed decisions is essential to responsible gambling. If you have been drinking, log out and return when you are sober.
If you are concerned about your gambling, talk to a friend, family member, or counselor. Keeping gambling problems secret often makes them worse. Opening up to someone you trust is the first step toward regaining control.
Our Responsible Gaming Support Team is available 24/7 to assist you. Whether you need help activating a tool, want to discuss your concerns, or need referrals to professional support services, we are here for you.
