21+ ONLY
Gambling is strictly for adults aged 21 and over. If you are under 21, you are not permitted to use sihoki services. Underage gambling is illegal and will result in immediate account termination.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At sihoki, we believe that online betting and casino gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal harm. While millions of people around the world gamble responsibly without issue, we recognize that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic or even addictive. That is why we have implemented comprehensive responsible gaming measures to help our users stay in control.
Responsible gaming means gambling within your means, understanding the risks, setting personal limits, and recognizing when gambling stops being fun. It means treating sihoki as a leisure activity, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. We are committed to providing tools, resources, and support to help you maintain healthy gambling habits and seek assistance if you need it.
This page outlines the responsible gaming features available on sihoki, warning signs of problem gambling, and external support resources in Indonesia and internationally. If you ever feel that your gambling is getting out of control, please do not hesitate to use our self-exclusion tools or contact our support team for confidential assistance. Your well-being matters more than any bet.
Take Control of Your Gaming
sihoki provides powerful tools to help you manage your gambling activity. These features are designed to give you control and prevent gambling from becoming a problem.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you add to your account. Once your limit is reached, you cannot deposit more until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specific time period. When you reach your loss limit, you will be prevented from placing further bets until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
Control how long you spend on sihoki by setting session time limits. You will receive notifications as you approach your limit and be automatically logged out when the limit is reached.
Reality Check
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost. This helps you stay aware of your gambling activity in real time.
Time-Out
Take a break from gambling by setting a time-out period ranging from 24 hours to 6 months. During this time, you cannot access your account, deposit funds, or place bets.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from sihoki for periods ranging from 6 months to permanent closure. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the period expires.
How to Activate These Tools
Log in to your sihoki account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming Tools. From there, you can configure deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality checks, time-outs, or request self-exclusion. Changes to limits take effect immediately, though increases to existing limits may be delayed by 24-48 hours to prevent impulsive decisions. For self-exclusion, contact customer support via live chat or email, and we will process your request within 24 hours.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Problem gambling, also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is a behavioral disorder characterized by an inability to control gambling behavior despite negative consequences. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, income level, or gambling experience. Early recognition is key to preventing serious harm.
Warning Signs You Should Watch For
- Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose (rent, bills, savings)
- Chasing losses by gambling more to win back money you have lost
- Lying to family, friends, or colleagues about your gambling activity
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling
- Spending increasing amounts of time and money on gambling
- Gambling has caused relationship conflicts or financial problems
If you recognize three or more of these warning signs in yourself, you may have a gambling problem. It is important to act now before the situation worsens. Problem gambling is treatable, and help is available.

Tips for Gambling Responsibly
Follow these guidelines to ensure gambling remains a fun and safe form of entertainment:
Set Limits Before You Start
Decide in advance how much money and time you are willing to spend, and stick to those limits. Never chase losses or increase your budget impulsively. Use sihoki's built-in limit-setting tools to enforce your personal rules automatically.
Never Gamble with Money You Cannot Afford to Lose
Only gamble with disposable income - money left over after paying bills, rent, food, savings, and other essential expenses. Never use credit cards, loans, or money meant for important purposes to fund gambling.
Understand the Odds
All casino games and most sports bets favor the house in the long run. The odds are designed so that, statistically, the platform will profit over time. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from gambling periodically to maintain perspective. Set an alarm or use sihoki's session time limits to remind yourself to take breaks. During breaks, do other activities you enjoy that have nothing to do with gambling.
Do Not Gamble When Upset or Under the Influence
Avoid gambling when you are feeling stressed, depressed, angry, or intoxicated. Emotional states and substance use impair judgment and can lead to impulsive, regrettable decisions.
Balance Gambling with Other Activities
Maintain a healthy lifestyle with diverse interests - work, hobbies, exercise, socializing with friends and family. Gambling should be just one of many leisure activities, not your primary source of entertainment or social interaction.
Do Not Try to Win Back Losses
Chasing losses is one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors. If you lose money, accept it as the cost of entertainment and walk away. Trying to win it back often leads to bigger losses and spiraling out of control.
Keep Track of Your Activity
Monitor how much time and money you spend gambling. sihoki provides detailed account statements and transaction history. Review these regularly to ensure you are staying within your intended limits.
Supporting Someone with a Gambling Problem
If you are concerned that a friend or family member has a gambling problem, your support can make a significant difference in their recovery. Here is how you can help:
- Educate Yourself: Learn about problem gambling, its signs, and available treatments so you can understand what they are experiencing.
- Start a Conversation: Express your concerns in a non-judgmental, supportive way. Choose a calm moment and focus on specific behaviors you have observed rather than accusations.
- Encourage Professional Help: Suggest they speak with a counselor or contact a problem gambling helpline. Offer to help them find resources or accompany them to appointments.
- Set Boundaries: Do not enable their gambling by lending money, paying their debts, or making excuses for them. Offer emotional support but not financial support for gambling.
- Take Care of Yourself: Supporting someone with an addiction can be emotionally draining. Seek support for yourself through family counseling services or support groups for loved ones of problem gamblers.
Recovery from problem gambling is possible with the right support and treatment. Encourage your loved one to take the first step toward getting help.
