sm188Frequently Asked Questions

During registration on sm188, you supply a username, email address, password, and mobile number. After account creation, you must complete identity verification (KYC) to unlock deposits and withdrawals. KYC requires a government-issued ID (national card or passport) and a proof-of-address document (utility bill, bank statement, or residence letter dated within three months). We verify documents within one business day in most cases. Users in Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, and Semarang proceed through the same verification flow. Once verified, your account is fully active and you may deposit via DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, or e-wallet.

On the login page, select "Forgot password?" and enter the email address linked to your sm188 account. We send a password-reset link to that email within a few minutes. Click the link, set a new password (at least 8 characters, mix of letters and numbers recommended), and log in. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder or wait subject to verification and request a new link. If you cannot access the email address on file, contact our support team with proof of identity (a photo of your ID and a recent payment receipt from sm188) so we can verify your ownership and help you regain access.

Live-dealer tables—blackjack, roulette, baccarat, Dragon Tiger—feature a real human dealer on camera, streamed in real time from our studio. You place bets and the outcome is determined by physical cards or a roulette wheel. Slots—Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, Mahjong Ways—are software-based games where outcomes are determined by a random-number generator. Slots are faster-paced and support tournaments (daily and weekly events with entry fees and prize pools), while live-dealer tables are individual sessions with real-time interaction. Both use the same account balance and appear in your transaction history.

As you deposit and play on sm188, you accumulate points based on your activity. These points contribute to your account tier, which unlocks higher account preferences, faster withdrawals, and access to premium tournaments. You can view your current tier and points balance in your Account menu. Tier status is recalculated monthly. Moving up a tier gives you better terms immediately; moving down a tier (if activity decreases) takes effect at the start of the next calendar month. Benefits are cumulative—a higher tier includes all benefits of lower tiers plus additional perks. We do not charge fees for tier advancement.

During Liga 1, Piala Indonesia, and Piala AFF seasons, our sportsbook expands available markets. Match odds are published a few hours before kickoff, and we offer live in-play betting during the match. Bets are settled within a few hours of the final whistle. In rare cases where a match is abandoned, postponed, or result disputed, settlement is delayed until the official result is confirmed (typically within 48 hours). We do not settle on predictions of rescheduled matches; we settle only on the actual final result. Check your bet slip for settlement rules specific to the market you selected before placing a bet.
