88php Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Safe Play

88php is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for all players across the Philippines. We recognise that while the vast majority of our players enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment, a small number may develop habits that go beyond healthy play. Our responsible gaming programme is designed to give every player thetools and information needed to stay in control of their gaming activity at all times.

Gaming is meant to be a source of entertainment, not a way to earn money or escape from personal problems. We encourage all players to set a budget before they start playing and to treat any losses as the cost of entertainment rather than a debt to be recovered. If you ever feel that gaming is affecting your daily life, your relationships, or your finances, we urge you to make use of the tools available on this page or to reach out to our support team immediately.

Player Control Tools

88php provides a range of practical tools that allow you to manage your gaming activity directly from your account. These tools are available to all registered players in the Philippines and can be activated at any time through the in-platform help channel.

• Deposit Limits – Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period.
• Session Time Reminders – Receive an on-screen notification after a set period of continuous play, reminding you to take a break and review your activity.
• Self-Exclusion – Request a temporary or permanent exclusion from the platform. During an exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or participate in any games. This option is available for periods ranging from 30 days to permanent closure.
• Account Activity Review – Access a full history of your deposits, withdrawals, and gaming sessions at any time so you can make informed decisions about your play.
• Reality Check – Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during the current session.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It is important to recognise the early warning signs so that you or someone you care about can seek help before the situation becomes more serious. Common signs include spending more money or time on gaming than you intended, feeling anxious or irritable when not playing, chasing losses in an attempt to win back money, neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming, and borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gaming activity. If any of these signs apply to you, please consider using our self-exclusion tool or contacting a professional support organisation.

Protection of Minors

88php strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from registering or playing on our platform, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. During the registration process, all players are required to verify their age and identity. If we have reason to believe that a minor has accessed the platform, we will immediately suspend the account and conduct a full review. We also encourage parents and guardians to make use of parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor is using your account, please contact our support team without delay.

External Support Resources

If you feel that you need professional support beyond what 88php can provide, we encourage you to reach out to the following organisations that offer free, confidential assistance to individuals and families affected by problem gambling in the Philippines. The National Council on Problem Gambling and similar local mental health organisations can provide counselling, crisis intervention, and long-term support programmes. You can also speak to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional if you are concerned about your gaming habits. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and support is always available.
