External Support Organisations
In addition to wbo77's internal Responsible Gaming services, we encourage Members who are struggling with gambling-related issues to reach out to independent professional organisations that specialise in problem gambling support and treatment:
International Resources
- Gamblers Anonymous: A global fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope to help each other recover from gambling addiction. Website and meeting schedules available at gamblersanonymous.org.
- GamCare (UK-based, international support): Offers free confidential advice, information, and support for anyone affected by problem gambling. Website: gamcare.org.uk.
- BeGambleAware: UK-based charity providing information, advice, and support for anyone affected by gambling harms. Website: begambleaware.org.
- National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG): US-based organisation offering resources, training, and advocacy for problem gambling prevention and treatment. Website: ncpgambling.org.
Regional Support (Indonesia)
While dedicated problem-gambling support services specific to Indonesia are limited, the following mental health and counselling organisations can provide professional assistance:
- Indonesian Mental Health Association (PDSKJI): National association of psychiatrists and mental health professionals offering counselling and treatment referrals. Many members speak English.
- Crisis Hotlines: Indonesia operates several crisis hotlines for mental health support, including anxiety, depression, and addiction issues. Contact our support team for current phone numbers and availability in your region.
- Private Counselling Services: Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, and Bandung all have private psychologists and counsellors who offer therapy for addiction and compulsive behaviours. wbo77 can provide referrals upon request.
Confidential Referrals: If you would like wbo77 to connect you with a professional counselling service in your area, please email [email protected] with the subject line "Counselling Referral Request". All referral requests are handled confidentially by our Responsible Gaming team.
Supporting a Friend or Family Member
If someone you care about is experiencing gambling-related harm, approaching the topic with empathy and without judgment is crucial. Here are some guidelines for offering support:
- Choose the right time and place: Have the conversation in private, when both of you are calm and not rushed.
- Express concern, not criticism: Use "I" statements such as "I'm worried about you" rather than "You have a problem."
- Listen without interrupting: Let them share their feelings and experiences without immediately offering solutions.
- Avoid enabling: Do not lend money or cover debts incurred through gambling, as this can prolong the problem.
- Encourage professional help: Suggest that they contact wbo77's Responsible Gaming team or an external counselling service.
- Take care of yourself: Supporting someone with a gambling problem can be emotionally draining. Consider seeking support for yourself through organisations like Gam-Anon (for family members of problem gamblers).
Protecting Minors
wbo77 is strictly an adults-only platform. All Members must be at least 21 years of age. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and employ the following measures to prevent minors from accessing the Platform:
- Mandatory KYC Verification: All accounts must complete identity verification using a government-issued ID (Indonesian KTP, passport, or SIM driving licence) before any withdrawal is processed.
- Age-Gate Technology: The wbo77 website displays prominent 21+ warnings and age-verification prompts.
- Parental Guidance: Parents and guardians are encouraged to use internet filtering software to block access to gambling sites on devices used by minors.
- Immediate Account Closure: If we discover that an account has been opened by a minor, the account is immediately closed, all wagers voided, and funds forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.
If you believe a minor has accessed wbo77, please report it immediately to [email protected] with the subject line "Underage Account Report".
