Gaming should be fun — a source of excitement and entertainment, not stress or financial harm. At 98php, we take our duty of care seriously. This page explains everything you need to know about playing responsibly and the tools we've built to help you stay in control.
98php Casino was built by Filipinos for Filipinos — and that means we understand, better than most, how deeply gambling can affect families and communities when it spirals out of control. We've seen it happen. That's exactly why responsible gaming isn't a compliance checkbox at 98php. It's something we genuinely believe in and actively invest in.
Our platform operates under a PAGCOR license, which means we are bound by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation's responsible gaming standards — one of Asia's most stringent regulatory frameworks for online casino operators. But we go beyond what PAGCOR requires, because we think our members deserve more than the minimum.
Every 98php account comes with a built-in suite of responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, reality checks, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion. These aren't buried in settings somewhere. They're front and center in your account dashboard, easy to find and even easier to activate.
If at any point gaming stops being fun and starts feeling like a problem — whether that's you, a family member, or a friend — we encourage you to use our tools or reach out to our 24/7 support team. There's no judgment here. We'd rather lose a player temporarily to a self-exclusion than lose them permanently to a problem that could have been addressed earlier.
Access to 98php Casino is strictly limited to persons aged 21 years and above, as required by PAGCOR and the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. This age restriction is non-negotiable. By registering, you confirm you are 21 or older. If we have reason to believe a member is under 21, the account will be suspended and all funds returned pending age verification.
If you feel your gaming is becoming a problem, contact our responsible gaming team immediately:
Every tool below is available to all 98php members from the Responsible Gaming section of your account dashboard — no extra steps, no waiting period to activate most of them. Take control of your gaming experience today.
Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount on your 98php account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before it applies.
Cap how much you can lose in a set period. When your net loss for the day, week, or month hits the limit you've chosen, 98php will automatically restrict further gameplay until the new period begins. A simple, powerful way to keep gaming within a budget you've decided on in advance.
Set an alert to notify you when you've been playing for a chosen duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom interval. A gentle reminder that it might be time to take a break, grab some tubig, and step away from the screen for a bit.
Enable periodic pop-up notifications during gameplay that show your current session duration, total bets placed, and net win or loss for the session. A quick reality check helps you make informed decisions about whether to keep playing or stop.
Take a short break from 98php without permanently closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit, or play. Your account and balance are preserved for when you're ready to return.
For members who need a longer or permanent break, 98php offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications. To request self-exclusion, contact our team at [email protected].
Requesting self-exclusion from 98php Casino is straightforward. Here's how the process works:
Email [email protected] or use the Live Chat feature in your account dashboard. State clearly that you are requesting self-exclusion and specify your preferred duration (6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent).
Our team will verify your identity to ensure the exclusion is applied to the correct account. You may be asked to confirm your registered name, mobile number, and date of birth.
Your account will be suspended within 24 hours of your verified request. Any pending withdrawals will be processed to your registered payment account before the suspension is applied.
At the end of a temporary exclusion period, you must actively contact our support team to reactivate your account. We will not automatically reopen accounts or send re-engagement promotions during or immediately after an exclusion period.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Here are some signs that gaming might be becoming more than just entertainment. If several of these resonate with you, it's worth talking to someone:
You're spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford to lose.
You find yourself chasing losses — depositing more to win back what you've lost.
Gaming is affecting your work, studies, relationships, or daily responsibilities.
You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not playing — or when you try to stop.
You're hiding your gaming activity from family members or close friends.
You've borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund your gaming.
You've tried to cut back or stop, but found it harder than expected.
If you recognize yourself in several of these statements, please contact the 98php responsible gaming team at [email protected] or use the Live Chat in your dashboard. Help is available, and there is no shame in asking for it.
