Gaming Is Entertainment.
Keep It That Way.

At PH97, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform — from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City. We know that for the vast majority of Filipino players, online gaming is a fun pastime, a way to unwind after a long day, or a chance to test your skills and luck. And that's exactly what it should be.

But we also know that for some people, gambling can become a problem. Problem gambling doesn't discriminate — it can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. That's why PH97 has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives every player the power to stay in control.

Our responsible gaming tools are free, easy to use, and available to all registered PH97 players at any time. You don't need to be in crisis to use them — in fact, the best time to set limits is before you ever feel like you need to. Think of it as a seatbelt: you put it on before you need it, not after.

🔞 Age Restriction: The PH97 platform is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. All accounts are subject to age verification. If we discover that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately closed and any balance forfeited. If you know a minor who is attempting to access PH97, please contact our support team immediately.
⚠️ Gambling Warning

Gambling involves real money and real risk. There is no guaranteed way to win. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Never chase losses. Never borrow money to gamble. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, work, or mental health — please reach out for help. PH97's support team is available 24/7.
📋 PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: PH97 operates in alignment with the responsible gaming standards set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). PAGCOR provides responsible gaming guidelines and resources for Filipino players. For more information on PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework, contact PAGCOR directly through their official government channels.

PH97 Responsible Gaming Tools

Free tools available to every registered player — use them anytime, no questions asked

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your PH97 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 7-day cooling-off period.

⏱️
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration for your PH97 gaming sessions. When your time is up, you'll receive a clear notification and be logged out automatically. This helps prevent the "just one more game" spiral that can lead to extended, unplanned play.

😴
Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your PH97 account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The cool-off activates immediately and cannot be reversed early.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, PH97 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the chosen period. During exclusion, your account is fully locked and all marketing communications are stopped.

How to Access These Tools: Log in to your PH97 account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. All tools are available there at no cost. You can also contact our 24/7 Live Chat support to activate any of these tools on your behalf — our team will process your request immediately.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognizing the signs early is the first step toward getting help

1
Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've already lost — often leading to even bigger losses and a dangerous cycle.

2
Gambling Beyond Your Means

Betting money that was meant for rent, groceries, bills, or other essential expenses. Using GCash, BDO, or BPI funds that you cannot afford to lose.

3
Borrowing to Gamble

Taking loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit to fund gambling activity. This is a serious warning sign that requires immediate attention.

4
Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, neglecting family obligations, or withdrawing from social activities because of time or money spent on gambling.

5
Inability to Stop

Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or feeling restless and irritable when you try to cut back or quit.

6
Hiding Your Gambling

Lying to family members or loved ones about how much time or money you spend gambling, or feeling the need to keep your gambling secret.

7
Gambling to Escape

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems rather than as a form of entertainment.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer honestly — this is for your benefit, not ours

In the past 12 months, have you…

Spent more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Felt the need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement?
Made repeated unsuccessful attempts to control or stop gambling?
Felt restless or irritable when trying to reduce or stop gambling?
Gambled as a way to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness or anxiety?
Lied to family members or others to conceal the extent of your gambling?
Jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or opportunity because of gambling?
Relied on others to provide money to relieve a desperate financial situation caused by gambling?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, it may be a sign that gambling is becoming a problem. Please consider using PH97's self-exclusion tool or reaching out to our support team. You are not alone, and help is available.
