21+ Only – Play Responsibly

Responsible Gaming
at PG88

Online gaming is about having fun, not chasing losses. PG88 gives every Filipino player the tools to set personal limits, take breaks, and keep gaming a healthy part of their leisure time – never a financial burden.

21+

PG88 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Age is verified during the KYC process.

Tools to Keep You in Control

PG88 builds responsible gaming features directly into your account so staying in control is simple and always accessible.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you're comfortable depositing in PHP within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once you hit your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time – increases take effect after a cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

It's easy to lose track of time when you're enjoying slots or a live casino table. Session reminders notify you when you've been playing for a set amount of time so you can decide whether to keep going or step away for a bit.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to place bets or deposit for a set number of days. Your account remains accessible for viewing your history and withdrawing cleared balances.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is becoming a problem, self-exclusion lets you close access to your PG88 account for an extended period. During self-exclusion, you will not receive marketing communications and cannot reverse the exclusion until the chosen period ends.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on how much PHP you are willing to lose in a given period. When your net loss reaches that limit, further betting is paused automatically. This helps you maintain a clear budget without having to monitor your balance manually during every session.

Reality Checks

Reality check pop-ups appear at intervals you choose and display a summary of how long you have been playing and your current session balance. A quick moment of reflection can make a real difference to how you approach your gaming session.

Our Approach to Responsible Gaming

PG88 believes that online gaming can be a genuinely enjoyable pastime for Filipino adults when it's approached with the right mindset and boundaries.

1What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means making deliberate, informed choices about when, how much, and how long you play. It's about treating gaming as a form of entertainment that fits comfortably within your budget and lifestyle – not a source of income or a way to recover money you have already lost.

Most players in the Philippines enjoy PG88's slots, live casino tables, sports betting on PBA and international basketball, eBingo, and other games without any issues. But for a small number of people, gaming can become more than just a pastime. PG88 takes that risk seriously, which is why responsible gaming tools are available to every registered member – not just those who ask for them.

Important Reminder
Online gaming always involves financial risk. Wins are never guaranteed. Never bet more PHP than you can comfortably afford to lose, and never use gaming as a way to deal with financial pressure or personal stress.

2Signs That Gaming May Be Becoming a Problem

Problem gambling can develop gradually. These questions are a useful starting point for self-reflection. If several of them apply to you, it may be worth taking a break or reaching out for support.

Personal Check-In

Do you find yourself spending more PHP on gaming than you originally planned?

Are you chasing losses – continuing to play to try to win back what you have lost?

Do you feel restless or irritable when you are not able to play?

Have you hidden your gaming activity from family members or close friends?

Has gaming affected your work, studies, relationships, or sleep in a negative way?

Have you borrowed money or sold items to fund your gaming sessions?

Do you feel like you are unable to stop even when you want to?

If you answered yes to several of these questions, please consider using PG88's self-exclusion option or contacting our support team at [email protected]. Taking action early is always the right call.

All responsible gaming controls are available from within your registered PG88 account. Here's how to access and use them:

Log in to your PG88 account

Access PG88 from your browser on desktop or mobile. Your responsible gaming settings are in the account section once you're logged in.

4Healthy Gaming Habits

You don't need to be experiencing a problem to benefit from good gaming habits. These practices help keep gaming a positive part of your leisure time from the start:

  • Set a PHP budget before you start. Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open a game or place a bet, and stick to it regardless of how your session goes.
  • Treat losses as the cost of entertainment. Think of your gaming budget the same way you'd think about a cinema ticket or a dinner out – money spent on an experience, not an investment.
  • Never chase losses. If you've reached your budget for the session, stop. Chasing losses rarely leads to recovery and often leads to bigger losses.
  • Set a time limit, not just a spending limit. Decide how long you will play before you start. A session timer or reality check reminder can help you stick to that decision.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen for a few minutes every hour. A short break helps you stay aware of how much you're spending and how long you've been playing.
  • Don't play when stressed, tired, or under the influence. Your judgement and impulse control are reduced in these states. Gaming when you're in a bad headspace often leads to decisions you'll regret.
  • Keep gaming separate from your financial goals. Online gaming should never form part of your plan to pay bills, cover rent, or build savings.

5Protecting Players Under 21

PG88 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. This is non-negotiable. During the KYC identity verification process, all members are required to submit a valid government-issued ID confirming they meet the age requirement. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 is immediately closed, regardless of how much has been deposited or played.

If you share a device or home network with a minor, we strongly recommend keeping your PG88 account secured with a strong password and ensuring that your OTP verification codes are sent to a device only you access. Never share your login credentials with anyone.

Parental Controls
Consider enabling device-level parental controls or website filtering on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms, including PG88.

6Getting Help and Contacting PG88

If you have concerns about your own gaming behaviour or that of someone close to you, reaching out is always the right move. PG88 support is available to help you activate any responsible gaming tool on your account without judgement.

  • Email: [email protected] – include "Responsible Gaming Request" in the subject for priority handling.
  • Account settings: Deposit limits, session reminders, and cooling-off periods can be set directly from your account dashboard after logging in.
  • Self-exclusion: Contact support to request a temporary or longer-term exclusion from the PG88 platform.

PG88's support team will treat all responsible gaming requests with confidentiality and care. You will not be pressured to reconsider or wait. Protecting your wellbeing is more important to us than keeping you playing.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Answers to the questions Filipino players most commonly ask about staying safe on PG88.

Log in to your PG88 account and go to the Responsible Gaming or Account Limits section in your dashboard. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly PHP deposit limit. Lower limits take effect immediately. If you want to increase a limit, a mandatory waiting period applies before the change takes effect.

Yes. A cooling-off period lets you suspend betting and deposit access for a set number of days without closing your account permanently. You can still log in to view your history and withdraw any cleared balance during the cooling-off period. To request a cooling-off period, use the account settings or contact [email protected].

During self-exclusion, your PG88 account is suspended for the period you choose. You will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. You will be removed from all marketing communications. Any cleared, withdrawable balance you hold will be processed to your verified payment method. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed by you during the chosen period – this is intentional to give you a genuine break.

Yes. PG88 requires all members to be 21 years of age or older. This age requirement is verified through the KYC process, where you are required to submit a valid government-issued ID. Any account belonging to a person under 21, discovered at any point, will be closed immediately and any deposits returned net of bonuses in line with the Terms and Conditions.

If you are concerned about a family member's gaming behaviour, encourage them to take PG88's self-assessment check-in questions and to speak openly about their gaming habits. Suggest they contact PG88 support at [email protected] to ask about limit-setting or self-exclusion. Taking a calm, non-judgemental approach tends to be more effective than confrontation. Professional support resources are available in the Philippines for problem gambling concerns.

PG88 monitors account activity as part of its responsible gaming programme. If patterns consistent with problem gambling are detected, such as extended sessions, rapid-fire deposits, or sharp increases in bet size, PG88 may reach out to you via your registered email address to check in and remind you of available responsible gaming tools. This is not a judgement – it's a commitment we make to every member.
