Tools That Keep You in Control

We've built practical tools directly into your 88 ph account so you can manage your gaming habits easily — no need to call anyone or fill out long forms.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, while raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Reminders

Choose how long you want to play in a single session and we'll send you a reminder when that time is up. Taking regular breaks helps you stay refreshed and make clearer decisions. You can set reminders as short as 30 minutes or as long as a few hours — whatever works best for your lifestyle.

Take a Break

If you feel like you need a short pause from gaming, you can activate a temporary break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a break, your account remains open but you cannot place any bets or make deposits. This is a great option when life gets busy or you simply want to reset your mindset before coming back to play.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer break, self-exclusion lets you suspend your account for a minimum of six months or permanently. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any promotional communications from us. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] and we will process your request promptly and with full confidentiality.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Gaming is meant to be a source of entertainment, not stress or financial strain. It helps to check in with yourself from time to time and be honest about how gaming fits into your life. If you notice any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to reach out for support.

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or chasing losses by placing bigger bets to try to win back what you lost.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or using gaming as a way to escape from problems or negative emotions.
  • Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time spent gaming online.
  • Borrowing money, selling personal belongings, or hiding your gaming activity from family and friends to continue playing.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gaming but finding it difficult to follow through on that intention.

Our Commitment to Safe Play

88 ph takes its responsibility to Filipino players seriously. We work continuously to make sure our platform supports healthy gaming habits and provides clear pathways to help when it is needed.

Age Verification

We strictly enforce the minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players in the Philippines, in line with PAGCOR regulations. Every new account goes through identity verification before any real-money gaming is permitted. We do not knowingly allow minors to access our platform under any circumstances.

Transparent Odds

We believe informed players make better decisions. All games on 88 ph display their return-to-player (RTP) percentages clearly so you always know what to expect. Understanding that gaming outcomes are based on chance — not skill or strategy — is an important part of playing responsibly and keeping expectations realistic.

Trained Support Team

Our customer support agents are trained to recognise signs of problem gambling and to respond with care and sensitivity. If you reach out to us about a gaming concern, you will be treated with respect and directed to the most appropriate tools or external resources available. We are here to help, not to judge.

This option is available to any player at any time, and all requests are handled with full confidentiality.
