Gaming should always be fun, never a problem. At 99ph, we're committed to providing a safe, transparent, and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. Learn how we protect you and how you can stay in control.
99ph believes that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial or emotional stress. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing tools, resources, and support to help you maintain control over your gaming activity.
As a licensed online gaming platform operating in the Philippines, 99ph adheres to the responsible gaming standards set by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) and follows international best practices to ensure player safety and well-being.
This page outlines the tools available to you, the warning signs of problem gaming, and the resources you can access if you or someone you know needs help. Remember: gaming is meant to be fun. If it stops being fun, it's time to take a break.
Under Philippine law, online gambling is restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is not just a guideline — it is a legal requirement that 99ph takes very seriously.
All players must verify their age and identity before making their first withdrawal. We use government-issued identification documents (such as Philippine passports, driver's licenses, SSS/GSIS IDs, or PhilSys IDs) to confirm that every player meets the minimum age requirement.
If we discover that a player is under 21 years old, we will immediately close their account, void all bets and winnings, and return any deposited funds to the source. We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms.
If you are under 21 years old, you are not permitted to register, deposit, or play on the 99ph platform. Attempting to use a false identity or someone else's documents is a serious offense and may result in legal action.
Problem gaming can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It often starts gradually and can escalate over time. Recognizing the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help.
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to take action. Problem gaming is treatable, and help is available.
Take control of your gaming with these built-in tools designed to help you play responsibly
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your 99ph account. Once you reach your limit, you won't be able to deposit more until the period resets.
Set a maximum session duration to remind yourself to take breaks. When your time limit is reached, you'll receive a notification and be logged out automatically.
Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a day, week, or month. Once you hit your loss limit, you won't be able to place any more bets until the period resets.
Need a short break? Use our "Take a Break" feature to temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to log in or play.
If you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is irreversible during the chosen period and applies across all 99ph platforms.
Review your complete gaming history, including deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and time spent playing. Transparency helps you stay aware of your gaming patterns.
All of the self-control tools listed above are available directly from your 99ph account settings. Here's how to access them:
Once activated, your limits will take effect immediately. If you want to increase a limit, there is a 24-hour cooling-off period before the change takes effect. If you want to decrease a limit, the change is applied instantly.
If you're not sure what limits to set or need assistance activating any of these tools, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat. Our team is trained to help you set up responsible gaming controls in a judgment-free, supportive environment.
Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available at 99ph. When you self-exclude, your account is completely suspended for the period you choose, and you will not be able to log in, deposit, or play during that time.
If you chose a 6-month or 1-year self-exclusion, your account will remain closed even after the period ends. To reactivate your account, you must contact 99ph support and confirm that you are ready to return. We will also provide information about responsible gaming resources before reactivating your account.
Self-exclusion is not a temporary "cool-down" — it is a serious commitment to take a break from gaming. Once activated, it cannot be reversed. If you're unsure whether self-exclusion is right for you, consider using the "Take a Break" feature first or speaking with a support counselor.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gaming, professional help is available. The following organizations provide free, confidential support to individuals affected by gambling-related issues in the Philippines:
PAGCOR operates a responsible gaming program that provides information, counseling, and support services for players in the Philippines. Their resources include educational materials, self-assessment tools, and referrals to professional counselors.
Contact: Visit the PAGCOR website or contact their customer service hotline for responsible gaming support
The NCMH provides mental health services, including counseling and treatment for behavioral addictions such as problem gambling. Services are available in Metro Manila and through partner facilities nationwide.

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experiences, strength, and hope to help each other recover from problem gambling. Meetings are held regularly in Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu, and Davao.
Problem gaming doesn't just affect the player — it affects families too. If you're concerned about a loved one's gaming habits, consider reaching out to a family counselor or support group. Open, honest communication is often the first step toward recovery.
You don't have to face problem gaming alone. Whether you're struggling yourself or worried about someone else, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Professional counselors are available 24/7 and all conversations are completely confidential.
