Your samba account lets you change your password anytime in your profile settings. If you forget your password, click the "Forgot password?" link on the login page; we'll send a reset link to your registered email. You can also update your mobile number, email address, and other account details from your profile. If you suspect someone else has accessed your account, change your password immediately and contact our support team via in-app chat. We can review your account activity and help you recover it. Do not share your password with anyone, and always log out on shared devices.
Payments and transactions
Yes. We accept direct bank transfers from online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, and local payment. When you click "Deposit" in the samba app or browser, select your bank and we'll show you the account details to transfer to. Your deposit appears in your samba account within a few minutes once the bank confirms the transfer. We also accept online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, and e-wallet. Choose the payment method that works best for you—all methods are encrypted and secure. If your transfer doesn't arrive within subject to verification, contact our support team and we'll investigate.
Live-dealer tables are games where a real person deals cards or spins a wheel while you watch on video. We offer blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Dragon Tiger hosted in live studios. You place your bet using buttons on the screen, and results settle in real time. Slot games are automated—you spin the reels and the result is generated instantly by the game software. Slots include titles like Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, and Mahjong Ways. Both types of games offer payouts instantly to your samba account. Live-dealer tables have a person hosting, so they feel social; slots are faster and require no wait between spins.
We may offer new-account promotions from time to time—terms apply and vary. Visit the Promotions section in the samba app or browser for current offers. Any promotional credit is subject to wagering requirements and other conditions stated at the time. Offers may be regional or seasonal. Read the full terms before claiming a promotion. If you have questions about whether you're eligible for an offer, contact our support team. We don't advertise exact bonus amounts on this page because terms and availability change regularly.
After you request a withdrawal, we review it within a few business hours to make sure your account is verified and there are no issues. Once approved, the money is sent to your bank or payment app (mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, or your bank) and usually arrives within one business day. During holidays like Idul Fitri or Idul Adha, banks process transfers more slowly, so withdrawals may take longer. If your withdrawal hasn't arrived three business days after approval, contact our support team—we'll trace it with your bank. Large withdrawals may require KYC verification before we can process them, which can add a few business days.
Games and betting
We offer betting on football tournaments including Liga 1 (Indonesia's top division), Piala Indonesia, Piala AFF, Champions League, and Premier League. We also cover MotoGP motorcycle racing, badminton, and esports markets like Mobile Legends, Free Fire, and PUBG Mobile. Check the Sportsbook section in the samba app to see upcoming matches and current odds. Games change seasonally—for example, Piala AFF runs during certain months, and Liga 1 follows the season calendar. Our support team can tell you which leagues and events we're covering this week.
On Android, download the samba app from our website or app store, install it, and log in. On iPhone or iPad, open Safari and go to the samba website—we provide browser-based access on iOS since app distribution rules differ. Both Android app and iOS browser are fully functional and sync with your account instantly. Your balance, game history, and settings are the same whether you use the app or browser. The Android app may use slightly less mobile data than the browser if you're on a limited data plan. Log out when using shared devices, and enable password protection for extra security.
Yes. Our samba website works on desktop browsers (Windows, Mac, Linux). Simply visit samba.best, log in, and access all games, sports betting, and account features. Desktop offers a larger screen for live-dealer tables if you prefer. Most players use mobile for convenience, but desktop is equally supported. Your account, balance, and game history sync across all devices in real time. We recommend a stable internet connection for live-dealer tables to ensure smooth video and audio. Desktop is also useful for managing account details or depositing via desktop banking.
Blackjack rules are standard: reach 21 or get closer than the dealer without going over. Aces count as 1 or 11, face cards count as 10. Roulette rules depend on the variant—European roulette has 37 numbers (0–36), American has 38 (0, 00, 1–36). You place your bet, the wheel spins, and the ball lands on a number. Payouts depend on your bet type (single number, red/black, even/odd, etc.). The live dealer explains rules during the game; you can also ask our support team for a quick overview. Games settle automatically and credit your account instantly.
Support and security
Our samba support team speaks English and Indonesian. Contact us via in-app chat or email. Response times depend on how busy we are, but we aim to help within a few hours during business days. If you contact us outside business hours, we'll reply when we return. Use clear language and include your username or email so we can look up your account quickly.

Our samba service is available in jurisdictions where local law permits online gaming. We do not offer services in regions where online wagering is prohibited. You are responsible for verifying that samba is legally accessible in your location before opening an account. Our Legal Notice page explains this in detail. If you're unsure about the legal status of online gaming in your country or city—whether you're in Jakarta, Bandung, Medan, Surabaya, or elsewhere—consult your local authorities or a legal advisor. We may suspend accounts detected accessing samba from prohibited jurisdictions.
All connections to samba use SSL encryption—look for the padlock symbol in your browser address bar. Your password is never stored in plain text; we hash it using industry-standard methods. Never share your password, and change it if you suspect it's been compromised. Use a strong password (at least 8 characters, mix of letters, numbers, symbols). Enable two-factor authentication if we offer it. If your account is compromised, contact support immediately and we'll help you recover it. We monitor accounts for fraudulent activity and may freeze a compromised account temporarily to protect your balance.
