We require two documents for KYC verification. First, a government-issued photo ID: a national ID card, passport, or driver's license. Second, proof of your residential address: a recent utility bill (electricity, water, gas), bank statement, or tenancy agreement—dated within the last 3 months. Upload clear, legible images of both documents during account setup. Our verification team reviews them within one business day. If documents are unclear or incomplete, we will request new images. Do not submit forged or altered documents; doing so violates our terms and may result in permanent account suspension.
If you forget your password, go to the gem188 login page and click "Forgot your password?" Enter your username or email address. We will send you a password-reset link via email. Click the link and enter a new, strong password—at least 8 characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols. The reset link expires after one hour; if it has expired, request a new one. After resetting your password, log in with your new credentials. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in your Account Settings to add extra protection against unauthorized access.
We recommend enabling two-factor authentication to protect your gem188 account. Log in to your Account Settings and navigate to Security. Select "Enable 2FA" and follow the on-screen prompts. You will be asked to scan a QR code using an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy) on your phone. Alternatively, you can enter a manual setup key. After setup, the app generates a six-digit code every 30 seconds. When you log in, you will be asked to enter this code along with your password. Save your backup codes in a safe place—if you lose access to your authenticator app, backup codes allow you to regain access.
Payments and transactions
Yes, we support bank transfers from online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, and local payment via virtual account (VA) numbers. When you deposit, select "Bank Transfer" and choose your bank. We will generate a unique virtual account number for your transaction. Transfer the amount from your bank account to that VA number. The transfer typically reflects in your gem188 account within minutes to one hour, depending on your bank's processing time. Some banks may have lower daily limits for online transfers; contact your bank if you need to increase your limit. Bank transfers are available to users across Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, Semarang, and other regions in supported jurisdictions.
Bonus offers on gem188 vary by promotion type. A welcome offer for new accounts typically matches a percentage of your first deposit up to a maximum amount—details are shown at registration. To claim a bonus, you must meet eligibility requirements: be a new account holder, complete KYC verification, and make a qualifying deposit. Most bonuses carry a playthrough requirement—you must wager the bonus amount a certain number of times in eligible games before you can withdraw it. Bonuses expire if not claimed or played within a set timeframe (usually 30 days). Weekly cashback and referral rewards have separate terms listed in our Promotions section. Read each promotion's full terms before claiming; we do not guarantee all users qualify for all offers.
To withdraw funds from gem188, go to your Account Dashboard and select "Withdrawal." Choose your payment method (online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, or bank account). Enter the amount and confirm. Your withdrawal request enters a verification queue. We review all withdrawals to prevent fraud and money laundering—this typically takes one to two business days. Once approved, the funds transfer to your nominated payment method. Processing time depends on your bank or e-wallet provider; most online payment and e-wallet transfers complete within minutes, while bank transfers may take one to three business days. You can withdraw only to the payment method you used to deposit, unless you provide alternative documentation.
If a deposit does not appear in your gem188 account after one hour, first check that your bank or e-wallet confirmed the transaction. Check your bank statement or payment app to see if the money left your account. If the payment was sent but gem188 did not receive it, contact our support team immediately with your transaction ID and bank confirmation. If the payment failed at your bank (insufficient funds, wrong details, or network issue), retry the transaction. For withdrawals that do not complete, check your email for rejection reasons—common reasons include unverified address, account flags, or a mismatch between your withdrawal method and deposit method. Contact support for clarification on why a withdrawal was rejected; we will advise on next steps.
Game rules and categories
Before placing your first bet or playing any game on gem188, read our Terms and Conditionswhich cover account eligibility, payment policies, dispute resolution, and prohibited conduct. Familiarize yourself with the rules of your chosen game category. For football betting, understand how odds work, what happens if a match is postponed, and how we settle bets. For live-dealer games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger), learn the house rules and payout rates. For slots (Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, Mahjong Ways), understand that outcomes are determined by a random number generator and that previous results do not influence future spins. For esports (Mobile Legends, Free Fire, PUBG Mobile), know how team scoring and match cancellations affect your bets. Each game has in-app rules; read them before playing.
Live-dealer games on gem188 use real dealers and physical equipment streamed via video. You play against the dealer in real time in games like blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Dragon Tiger. The dealer's actions (card dealing, wheel spinning, outcome) are broadcast live; you do not control the outcome. Slots are software-based games where outcomes are determined by a random number generator. You select your bet amount and spin; the reels generate random symbols. Slots are faster than live-dealer games and offer different odds and payout structures. Both game types are available on gem188; choose based on your preference for pacing and interaction style. Neither game type guarantees wins; all outcomes are subject to the laws of probability.
If a football match (Liga 1, Piala Indonesia, Piala AFF, Champions League, or Premier League) is postponed, bets typically remain open until the match is rescheduled and played. Check the match status on the gem188 platform for updates. If a match is cancelled and not rescheduled within a set timeframe (usually 14 days), bets are voided and stakes are returned to your account. Bets on individual player performances or specific occurrences (first goal scorer, number of yellow cards) are voided if the match is cancelled. If a match is abandoned mid-play, bets on completed outcomes (first-half results) may be settled; bets on uncompleted outcomes are voided. Our terms detail cancellation rules; contact support if you are unsure how a postponement affects your bets.
