Tools to Keep You in Control

Every registered player on cash games has access to these built-in responsible gaming features at no extra cost.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, while raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. This feature puts a firm, player-defined ceiling on how much you can fund your account, making it easier to stick to a personal budget. It is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming spend predictable and stress-free.

Session Time Reminders

Choose how long you want each gaming session to last, and the platform will send you a clear on-screen reminder when that time is up. Taking regular breaks is one of the simplest habits that keeps gaming enjoyable rather than exhausting. You can set reminders as short as 30 minutes or as long as several hours, depending on your personal preference. When the reminder appears, you are always free to continue playing — the goal is awareness, not restriction. Over time, session reminders help you build a healthier relationship with online entertainment.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a complete break from gaming, our self-exclusion tool lets you suspend your account for a set period — from 30 days up to five years, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets, and you will be removed from all marketing communications. Requests to end a self-exclusion early are subject to a mandatory reflection period before they take effect. This feature is designed for players who recognise that they need a firm boundary, and we take every self-exclusion request seriously. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion at any time.

Loss Limits

In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss threshold for any given day, week, or month. Once your net losses reach the limit you have chosen, your account will be restricted from further wagering until the period resets. This tool is particularly useful for players who want to protect themselves from chasing losses — one of the most common patterns associated with problem gambling. Like deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a waiting period. Combining loss limits with deposit limits gives you a comprehensive financial safety net.

Reality Checks

Reality check notifications appear at regular intervals during your session to show you exactly how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won or lost during that time. These brief pop-ups are designed to cut through the immersive nature of online gaming and give you an honest, real-time snapshot of your activity. You can customise the frequency of reality checks in your account settings. Many players find that simply seeing the numbers laid out clearly is enough to prompt a healthy decision to take a break. Staying informed is the first step to staying in control.

Support & Referrals

Our support team is available around the clock to assist any player who has concerns about their gaming behaviour or that of someone they care about. We can provide information about local Philippine support organisations, helplines, and counselling services that specialise in gambling-related issues. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness, and every conversation with our team is treated with complete confidentiality. We also work with PAGCOR-recognised responsible gaming bodies to ensure our referral network is up to date and relevant for Filipino players. You are never alone in managing your gaming habits.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Knowing the signs early makes it much easier to take action before things escalate.

Behavioural Warning Signs

  • Spending more time or money on gaming than you originally planned, and finding it difficult to stop even when you want to.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, which often leads to larger losses.
  • Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social activities because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for essential expenses such as rent or food to fund gaming.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or when you try to cut down.
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family members or close friends, or lying about how much time or money you spend.
  • Continuing to gamble despite repeated negative consequences in your personal, financial, or professional life.

What to Do If You Recognise These Signs

The most important step is to acknowledge the pattern honestly — problem gambling tends to worsen when it is minimised or ignored. Start by using the self-assessment tools available in your account, and consider activating a deposit limit or self-exclusion period to give yourself breathing room. Talk to someone you trust, whether that is a family member, a close friend, or a professional counsellor who specialises in gambling-related concerns. In the Philippines, PAGCOR operates a responsible gaming programme and there are local helplines staffed by trained counsellors who understand the specific pressures Filipino players face. Our support team can connect you with these resources immediately — simply reach out through the contact details in the footer of this page. Remember that seeking help early leads to much better outcomes, and that entertainment should always add to your quality of life, not subtract from it.

Responsible Gaming — Common Questions

Quick answers to what Filipino players ask most about safe and responsible play on the platform.

Log in to your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in Philippine pesos. Enter the amount you are comfortable with and confirm your choice — the limit takes effect immediately. If you later decide to lower your limit, the change is applied right away. If you want to raise it, a 24-hour waiting period applies to give you time to reconsider. If you need help finding the setting, our support team is available around the clock to guide you through the process.

Yes — our self-exclusion tool lets you suspend your account for a defined period ranging from 30 days to five years, without permanently deleting your account. During the suspension you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets, and you will be removed from all promotional communications. At the end of the exclusion period, you can choose to reactivate your account after a mandatory reflection period. If you feel you need a permanent solution, we can also close your account entirely on request. Either way, our support team will handle your request promptly and with full confidentiality.

No — cash games is strictly for players aged 21 and above, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. All new accounts are subject to identity verification, and we reserve the right to request additional age verification documents at any time. If we discover that an account is held by someone under the legal age, the account will be closed immediately and any funds will be returned. We encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms. Protecting young people is a non-negotiable part of our responsible gaming commitment.

Start by contacting our support team using the email address in the footer of this page — we can connect you with PAGCOR-recognised responsible gaming resources and local Philippine counselling services. You can also activate self-exclusion immediately through your account settings to give yourself a firm break while you seek support. Talking to a trusted friend or family member is also a valuable first step. Professional help is available in the Philippines through gambling-specific counselling programmes, and reaching out early significantly improves outcomes. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for help — if gaming is causing you stress or financial worry, that is reason enough to reach out.
