Our Commitment to Player Protection

gococo takes responsible gaming seriously. As Indonesia's premier online betting platform, we recognize that while the vast majority of our players enjoy sports betting, casino games, slots, and lottery offerings like togel (Indonesia's traditional numbers lottery) as a form of entertainment, a small percentage may develop problematic gambling behaviors that negatively impact their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

Our responsible gaming program is built on three foundational principles: prevention through education, early intervention through monitoring and tools, and support for those who recognize they need help. We invest significantly in technology, training, and partnerships to ensure every Indonesian player across Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, Bandung, Bali, and beyond has access to the resources and support they need to make informed decisions about their gaming activity.

Responsible gaming is not just a regulatory requirement for gococo — it is a core value embedded in everything we do. From the moment you create an account through our rigorous age verification process, to the daily deposit limits you can set, to the self-exclusion options available when you need a break, every feature of the gococo platform is designed with your wellbeing in mind. We believe that sustainable, enjoyable gaming requires honest self-assessment, awareness of risk factors, and immediate access to protective tools when warning signs emerge.

Player Protection Tools

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account dashboard. Once set, limits cannot be increased for 24 hours, giving you time to reconsider impulsive decisions.

Time-Out Features

Take a short break from gaming by setting time-outs ranging from 24 hours to 30 days. During time-out periods, you cannot access your account or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

Temporarily or permanently close your account through our self-exclusion program. Choose exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or lifetime. This action is irreversible during the chosen period.

Reality Checks

Receive automatic notifications about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. Reality checks help you maintain awareness of time and money spent on the platform.

Loss Limits

Set maximum loss limits over specific time periods. Once your loss limit is reached, you cannot place additional bets until the period resets or you contact support to modify the limit.

Activity History

Access comprehensive reports of your betting history, deposits, withdrawals, wins, and losses. Transparency helps you evaluate your gaming patterns objectively and identify concerning trends.

Strict Age Verification – Adults Only (21+)

Why Age Verification Matters

Indonesian law and gococo policy strictly prohibit individuals under 21 years of age from gambling. Underage gambling poses serious developmental, financial, and psychological risks to young people whose brains are still maturing and who lack the life experience and financial stability to gamble responsibly. gococo employs multiple layers of age verification to prevent underage access:

  • Registration Age Check: All new accounts require date of birth entry. The system automatically rejects registrations from individuals under 21 years of age.
  • KYC Document Verification: Before processing your first withdrawal, gococo requires submission of government-issued identification (Indonesian KTP or passport) showing your date of birth. Our compliance team manually reviews all documents to confirm authenticity and verify age.
  • Payment Method Verification: Bank accounts and e-wallets (BCA, BRI, BNI, Mandiri, OVO, DANA, GoPay, ShopeePay) used for deposits and withdrawals must be registered in your own name and linked to your verified identity.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Our systems flag suspicious activity patterns that may indicate account sharing, underage use, or identity fraud. Flagged accounts undergo immediate investigation and may be suspended pending verification.

Parental Guidance

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software, internet filtering tools, and device monitoring to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Open conversations about the risks of gambling and the importance of age restrictions help protect young people from exposure to gambling content before they are legally and developmentally ready.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know exhibits multiple warning signs below, it may indicate a gambling problem requiring professional help:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than originally intended
  • Lying to family members or friends about gambling activities
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to finance gambling
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling

Gambling Self-Assessment Questions

Answer these questions honestly to assess whether your gambling is becoming problematic:

1. Have you often gambled longer or with more money than you intended?

2. Have you felt the need to increase your bet sizes to achieve the same level of excitement?

3. Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found yourself unable to do so?

4. Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to reduce or stop gambling?

5. Do you gamble to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or negative feelings?

6. After losing money, do you often return to try to win it back (chasing losses)?

7. Have you lied to family members or others to hide the extent of your gambling?

8. Have you jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational opportunity due to gambling?

9. Do you rely on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling?

If you answered "yes" to four or more of these questions, you may have a gambling problem and should seek professional help immediately.

Setting Limits and Using Protection Tools

How to Set Deposit Limits

Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for maintaining control over your gambling spending. Here's how to set deposit limits on your gococo account:

  • Log into your gococo account and navigate to Account Settings
  • Select "Responsible Gaming" from the settings menu
  • Choose "Deposit Limits" and select your preferred limit type (daily, weekly, or monthly)
  • Enter the maximum amount in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) you wish to deposit during that period
  • Confirm your choice — the limit takes effect immediately
  • To increase a limit, you must wait 24 hours after submitting the request (cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions)
  • To decrease a limit, the change is applied instantly

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a powerful tool for players who recognize they need a complete break from gambling. When you self-exclude from gococo:

  • Your account is immediately suspended — you cannot log in, deposit funds, or place bets
  • You will not receive promotional emails, offers, or marketing communications from gococo
  • Any pending bonuses or promotional offers are forfeited
  • Your remaining account balance can be withdrawn through normal withdrawal procedures
  • The exclusion period you select (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or lifetime) cannot be reversed or reduced — this ensures you have adequate time away from gambling to address underlying issues
  • At the end of a temporary exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, or 5 years), your account is NOT automatically reactivated — you must contact customer support to request reactivation, and we may ask questions about your readiness to return

To activate self-exclusion, contact gococo customer support via live chat or email ([email protected]) with the subject line "SELF-EXCLUSION REQUEST." Our team will guide you through the process with care and confidentiality. You can also request that we add you to third-party exclusion databases that prevent you from accessing other gambling platforms as well.

Using Time-Outs Effectively

Time-outs provide a middle ground between full self-exclusion and unrestricted access. Consider using a time-out if:

  • You've been gambling more frequently than usual and want to take a step back
  • You're experiencing a stressful life event (job loss, relationship issues, financial pressure) and need to avoid gambling during this vulnerable period
  • You're unsure whether you need full self-exclusion and want to test a shorter break first
  • You've noticed warning signs of problematic gambling but feel capable of managing with a temporary pause

Time-outs can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, 2 weeks, or 30 days through your account's Responsible Gaming settings.
