Gaming should always be fun. At 87ph, we give every Filipino player the tools and information they need to stay in control, play within their means, and enjoy the experience safely.
87ph is committed to providing a safe and responsible environment for all players across the Philippines. These are the core principles that guide how we operate.
We encourage every Filipino player to set a clear gaming budget before they start. Only play with money you can comfortably afford to lose, and never chase losses by depositing more than planned. Treating gaming as entertainment — not as a source of income — is the healthiest approach. If you find it difficult to stick to a budget, our support team is ready to help you set deposit limits on your account.
It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying casino games or bingo. We recommend setting a time limit for each session and taking regular breaks to stay refreshed and clear-headed. Avoid gaming late at night or when you are tired, stressed, or emotionally upset, as these conditions can lead to poor decisions. Keeping sessions short and intentional helps you stay in control and enjoy the experience more.
If you feel that gaming is becoming a problem, you have the option to request a self-exclusion period on your 87ph account. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any bets, giving you the space you need to step back and reassess. Self-exclusion can be requested for a set period or indefinitely. Contact our support team at [email protected] to activate this option at any time.
87ph strictly prohibits access to anyone under 21 years of age, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. All new accounts are subject to age verification before any real-money activity is permitted. If we suspect that a minor is attempting to access the platform, the account will be suspended immediately pending review. We ask all players to keep their login credentials secure and never share account access with anyone who may be underage.
You can request a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your account to help manage your spending. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Reducing or removing a limit requires a waiting period as an additional safeguard. This feature is available to all registered players in the Philippines and can be adjusted through our support team.
Our team monitors unusual account activity and may reach out if we notice patterns that suggest a player may need support. These check-ins are not punitive — they are a genuine effort to make sure every player on the platform is doing well. You can also reach out to us proactively if you have concerns about your own gaming habits or those of someone you know. We treat all such conversations with complete confidentiality and care.
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Knowing the warning signs early makes it easier to seek help before the situation becomes serious.
Gambling becomes a problem when it starts to interfere with your daily life, relationships, finances, or mental health. Common warning signs include spending more money or time on gaming than you intended, feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing, and continuing to gamble even after significant losses. Some players find themselves borrowing money to fund their gaming or hiding their activity from family and friends — both of these are serious indicators that professional support may be needed.
Other signs to watch for include neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gaming, using gambling as a way to escape stress or negative emotions, and repeatedly failing to cut back despite wanting to. If you recognise any of these patterns in yourself or someone close to you, please do not hesitate to reach out for help. Early intervention makes a significant difference, and there is no shame in asking for support.
You are never alone. These organisations provide free, confidential support for players and their families across the Philippines.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming standards across all licensed operators in the Philippines. PAGCOR provides resources and guidance for players who need assistance managing their gaming behaviour. Their responsible gaming programme includes player education, self-exclusion registries, and referrals to professional counselling services. Filipino players are encouraged to familiarise themselves with PAGCOR's guidelines as a first step toward safer play.
The Philippine Department of Health operates a 24/7 mental health support line at 1553, available to anyone in the Philippines who needs to talk. If gambling-related stress is affecting your mental health or relationships, trained counsellors are available to listen and guide you toward appropriate support. Calls are free from most Philippine networks and completely confidential. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness, and help is always available.
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to recover from a gambling problem. Meetings are held regularly across major cities in the Philippines and are open to anyone who has a desire to stop gambling. The programme is free, peer-led, and has helped thousands of Filipinos regain control of their lives. Attending even a single meeting can be a powerful first step toward lasting recovery.
If you need to set limits, request a self-exclusion, or simply talk to someone about your gaming habits, our support team is here for you. Reach us at [email protected] and we will respond promptly and without judgement. All responsible gaming requests are handled with full confidentiality and are prioritised by our team. We are committed to making sure every player in the Philippines has a positive and sustainable experience on the platform.
