21+ Only - Adults Only Gaming

You must be at least 21 years of age to register an account and play on hombet. We strictly enforce age verification and will permanently close any account found to belong to a minor. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. Parents and guardians, please supervise internet usage and consider parental control software to protect minors.

Our Commitment to You

hombet is dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and responsible gaming environment for all Indonesian players. We recognize that while the vast majority of our players enjoy betting on sports like BRI Liga 1 football, playing casino games, or trying their luck at slots as a form of entertainment, a small percentage may develop problematic gambling behavior. That's why we have implemented comprehensive responsible gaming policies, tools, and resources to help you stay in control.

Responsible gaming means understanding that gambling should never interfere with your financial stability, personal relationships, work responsibilities, or mental health. It means setting limits before you play, recognizing warning signs of problem gambling, and seeking help when needed. At hombet, we support your right to enjoy our platform as entertainment, and we also support your right to access tools and assistance if gambling stops being fun.

Our responsible gaming framework is built on four pillars: prevention (educating players about risks), early intervention (identifying concerning patterns), self-management tools (empowering players to set their own limits), and support (connecting players who need help with professional resources). Every member of our customer support team receives specialized training in responsible gaming practices and is prepared to assist Indonesian players with empathy, respect, and confidentiality.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling, is a behavioral condition where an individual loses control over their gambling activities despite negative consequences. It affects people of all ages, income levels, and backgrounds across Indonesia, from Jakarta to Bali, Surabaya to Medan.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek help:

  • Spending more time and money gambling than you can afford: Regularly exceeding your budget or gambling for longer than you intended.
  • Chasing losses: Continuing to bet in an attempt to win back money you have lost, often leading to even greater losses.
  • Gambling to escape problems: Using gambling as a way to avoid dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, or other life challenges.
  • Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling activities.
  • Lying about gambling: Hiding the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues.
  • Borrowing money to gamble: Taking loans, using credit cards, or borrowing from family and friends to fund gambling.
  • Relationship conflicts: Arguments with loved ones about your gambling habits or the financial impact of gambling.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not gambling: Experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms when unable to gamble.
  • Failed attempts to cut back: Trying to reduce or stop gambling but being unable to do so despite good intentions.
  • Gambling as the primary source of excitement: Losing interest in hobbies, social activities, or other forms of entertainment.

If you identify with several of these warning signs, please reach out to our customer support team immediately. We are here to help, not to judge. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Self-Management Tools

hombet provides a comprehensive suite of tools to help you maintain control over your gambling activities. These tools are available to all Indonesian players and can be adjusted at any time through your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 customer support team.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can deposit into your hombet account. Once you reach your limit, you will not be able to deposit additional funds until the time period resets. This helps ensure you never gamble more than you can afford to lose. Deposit limits can be decreased immediately but increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider.

Wagering Limits

Control how much you can stake on bets across sports betting, casino games, slots, and other products. Set maximum stake amounts per bet or per day to prevent impulsive high-stakes gambling. These limits apply across all games and betting markets on hombet.

Session Time Limits

Set reminders or automatic logouts after a specified period of continuous play. Choose time intervals of 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or custom durations. When your session time expires, you'll receive a notification reminding you to take a break. This helps prevent prolonged gaming sessions and encourages healthy gambling habits.

Reality Checks

Receive periodic pop-up notifications during gaming sessions showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. These reality checks help you maintain awareness of your gambling activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

Timeout / Cool-Off Period

Temporarily suspend your account for a period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a timeout, you cannot access your account, place bets, or make deposits. This gives you time to step back, reassess your gambling habits, and return with a fresh perspective. Timeouts cannot be reversed once activated.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or long-term exclude yourself from using hombet services for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is the most serious responsible gaming tool and should be used if you feel you have lost control over your gambling. During self-exclusion, your account is completely closed, and you cannot access any hombet services. At the end of a temporary self-exclusion period, your account remains closed unless you actively choose to reopen it after speaking with our responsible gaming team.

To activate any of these tools, log into your hombet account, navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account settings, or contact our Indonesian-speaking customer support team 24/7 via live chat, WhatsApp, or email at [email protected] (displayed as plain text, not clickable).

How to Set Your Limits

We strongly recommend setting deposit limits and session time limits before you start playing. Think about how much money you can afford to lose without affecting your essential expenses like rent, food, bills, and savings. Think about how much time you can spend on entertainment without neglecting work, family, or other important responsibilities. Set your limits accordingly and stick to them. Remember: gambling should enhance your life, not control it.

  • Mental Health Crisis Lines: Contact local mental health hotlines for immediate support if you are in crisis. Many Indonesian hospitals and mental health centers offer counseling services.

  • Recognizing triggers and avoiding situations that lead to gambling urges.
  • Replacing gambling with healthier hobbies and activities.
  • Building a support network of family and friends who can provide accountability.
  • Keeping a journal to track thoughts, feelings, and urges related to gambling.
  • Learning stress management and coping techniques to deal with emotions without gambling.
  • Removing access to gambling funds by giving financial control to a trusted family member.

Tips for Responsible Gambling

Follow these guidelines to ensure gambling remains a safe and enjoyable form of entertainment:

Before You Play

  • Set a budget: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing. Treat this as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
  • Set a time limit: Determine how long you will play and stick to it. Set an alarm if necessary.
  • Never gamble with borrowed money: Only gamble with your own disposable income, never with money you've borrowed or need for essential expenses.
  • Be in the right mindset: Don't gamble when you're stressed, depressed, intoxicated, or under the influence of substances. Make decisions when you're clearheaded.

While Playing

  • Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen every 30-60 minutes to maintain perspective.
  • Don't chase losses: Accept losses as part of the game. Trying to win back lost money usually leads to bigger losses.
  • Celebrate wins responsibly: When you win, consider cashing out rather than reinvesting all your winnings.
  • Stay aware of time and money: Keep track of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

After Playing

  • Review your session: Reflect on whether you stayed within your limits and whether gambling felt like fun or stressful.
  • Don't try to recoup immediately: If you lost money, resist the urge to play again right away to win it back.
  • Maintain balance: Ensure gambling doesn't replace other hobbies, social activities, or responsibilities.

When to Stop

Stop gambling immediately and seek help if: you find yourself lying to loved ones about your gambling; you're gambling with money needed for bills, rent, or food; you're borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling; gambling is affecting your work performance or relationships; you feel anxious, depressed, or suicidal related to gambling losses; or you've tried to cut back but cannot control your gambling urges. These are serious warning signs that require professional assistance.

For Parents and Guardians

Protecting minors from gambling is a shared responsibility. hombet strictly prohibits anyone under 21 from accessing our services, but we encourage parents and guardians across Indonesia to take proactive steps:

  • Monitor your children's internet usage and be aware of the websites they visit.
  • Install parental control software to block access to gambling websites.
  • Keep payment cards and e-wallet credentials secure so they cannot be used without permission.
  • Talk to your children about the risks of gambling and the importance of waiting until they are adults.
  • Set a positive example by gambling responsibly yourself and demonstrating healthy attitudes toward money and risk.

If you discover that a minor has accessed hombet using your payment method or personal information, please contact our support team immediately so we can close the account and assist with any necessary steps.

We train our staff regularly, invest in detection and intervention technologies, and collaborate with responsible gaming organizations to create the safest possible environment for Indonesian players.

Our goal is to preserve that enjoyment while providing support for the minority who may struggle. Your wellbeing is more important to us than any revenue you generate. If gambling stops being fun, we want you to stop, get help, and come back only if and when you're ready.
