From daily Sit & Go tables to marquee multi-table tournaments with prize pools stretching into the hundreds of millions of Rupiah, pg138 is where Indonesia's sharpest poker players compete, qualify, and cash out. Whether you're a grinder from Jakarta or a weekend player tuning in from Bali, the felt is always green and the action never stops.
Poker has grown rapidly across Indonesia over the past decade, fuelled by a generation of players who cut their teeth on mobile apps and graduated to serious competition. pg138 recognised this shift early and built a tournament poker infrastructure that matches international standards while staying deeply connected to the Indonesian experience — IDR balances, local bank deposits, and Indonesian-speaking support available around the clock.
Every tournament on pg138 is powered by a certified random-number generator (RNG) and operates under our international gaming license, meaning the shuffle is provably fair and every player — whether depositing via BCA, BRI, OVO, or DANA — competes on a level field. Prize pools are denominated entirely in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), so what you see in the lobby is exactly what lands in your withdrawal to Mandiri or GoPay.
The pg138 poker room runs Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi, and Omaha Hi-Lo ring games alongside a structured tournament calendar that includes daily satellites, weekly majors, and seasonal championship events. High-volume players earn loyalty points that accelerate through our Bronze, Silver, and Gold VIP tiers — unlocking faster withdrawals, higher table limits, and invitations to exclusive pg138 private tournaments reserved for our elite player community.
All times are in Western Indonesia Time (WIB, UTC+7). Prize pools shown are guaranteed minimums — late registration and overlay frequently push final pools higher. Buy-ins are denominated in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

Every pg138 poker tournament uses standard hand rankings. Highest hand wins — familiarise yourself before sitting at the felt.
pg138 hosts multiple tournament formats to suit every experience level and bankroll. Here's what each format means in practice.
A tournament that starts as soon as a set number of players register — no scheduled start time required. Perfect for players who want tournament-format action without waiting. pg138 SNGs run 6-max and 9-max tables with buy-ins from Rp 10.000 upward.
Scheduled tournaments with a fixed start time, open registration window, and a guaranteed prize pool. Players start with equal chip stacks and are consolidated onto fewer tables as eliminations occur. The pg138 Sunday Major and Championship Series are MTT formats.
A lower buy-in tournament whose prize is a free entry (ticket) to a higher buy-in event. pg138 runs daily satellites to the Sunday Major and quarterly satellites to the Championship Series — the most cost-effective path to big-field competition from Jakarta or Surabaya.
Zero buy-in tournaments with a real IDR prize pool funded entirely by pg138. Our daily freeroll at 20:00 WIB is open to all registered players and is the ideal entry point for newcomers from Bandung, Medan, Yogyakarta, or anywhere across Indonesia who want tournament experience without financial risk.
pg138 distributes tournament prizes across the top finishing positions using an internationally standard payout structure. The table below shows a representative breakdown for a 100-player field.
| Position | Prize Share | Example Payout (Rp 50 M pool) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 1st Place | 28% | Rp 14.000.000 |
| 2 2nd Place | 18% | Rp 9.000.000 |
| 3 3rd Place | 12% | Rp 6.000.000 |
| 4th Place | 8% | Rp 4.000.000 |
| 5th Place | 6% | Rp 3.000.000 |
| 6th – 9th Place | 3.5% each | Rp 1.750.000 each |
| 10th – 18th Place | 1.5% each | Rp 750.000 each |
| 19th – 27th Place | 0.7% each | Rp 350.000 each |
Exact payout percentages vary by field size and tournament type. Final payout structure is always displayed in the pg138 tournament lobby before late registration closes. All payouts credited to your IDR wallet instantly after the tournament completes.
Tournament winnings are credited to your pg138 IDR wallet as soon as the final hand is dealt. Withdraw to any of the following payment channels — typically processed within 30 minutes:
Minimum withdrawal: Rp 50.000. No withdrawal fees charged by pg138 — bank/e-wallet transfer fees may apply per your provider's standard rates.
Whether you're entering your first Nightly Grind or grinding your way into the pg138 Championship Series, these fundamentals apply at every buy-in level.
Your decision-making changes dramatically as your stack shrinks relative to the big blind. With 20+ big blinds, play deep-stack poker and look for post-flop spots. Below 15 big blinds, switch to push-fold strategy — there's no room for thin calls or fancy plays.
In the money-bubble phase — the last few eliminations before paid positions — the Independent Chip Model (ICM) means chip equity no longer equals prize equity. Tighten your opening ranges against big stacks and apply aggression to medium stacks who cannot afford elimination.
Acting last on every post-flop street gives you an information advantage that compounds over a tournament. Play more hands in late position (cutoff, button), fold weak holdings from early position, and steal blinds aggressively from the button when the table is passive.
In the early levels of a pg138 MTT, chips you lose are harder to replace than chips you win are worth. Avoid all-in confrontations with marginal holdings during the first few blind levels — survive, accumulate, and let the field thin itself out before shifting to an aggressive gear.
Three-betting (re-raising before the flop) is one of the highest-impact plays in tournament poker. Build a balanced three-bet range that includes strong value hands (AA, KK, QQ, AK) alongside bluff candidates with good blocker effects (A5s, KQo) to avoid becoming predictable at the pg138 tables.
Omaha is the second most popular variant in the pg138 poker room. The rules share DNA with Texas Hold'em but require a fundamental shift in hand selection and equity thinking.
Getting from zero to seated at a pg138 tournament table takes less than ten minutes for players in Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, or anywhere else across Indonesia.
