123ph Responsible Gaming
Your wellbeing always comes first — here is how we help you stay in control.
At 123ph, gaming is meant to be an enjoyable form of entertainment for Filipino players — not a source of stress or financial hardship. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent, and supportive environment where every player can set their own boundaries and access help whenever they need it. This page outlines the tools, policies, and resources available to help you keep your gaming experience healthy and in control. We encourage all players to read through these guidelines before placing their first bet or joining a live casino table.
Player Protection Tools
Practical controls built into your 123ph account to help you manage your play.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be raised until the cooling-off period has passed. This gives you a firm financial boundary so your entertainment budget stays predictable. Lowering your limit is always instant — raising it requires a mandatory 24-hour review period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Session Time Reminders
Enable session time alerts to receive a notification after a set number of minutes or hours of continuous play. Losing track of time is one of the most common ways gaming sessions extend beyond what was originally planned. These reminders appear as a gentle on-screen prompt, giving you a natural pause point to decide whether to continue or step away. You can configure the interval to suit your own routine — from 30 minutes up to several hours.
If you feel you need a short pause from gaming, you can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days from your account settings. During this time, your account will be temporarily restricted from placing bets or accessing live casino games, giving you the space to reset and reflect. This feature is designed for players who recognise early warning signs and want to act before a small concern becomes a bigger problem. The break activates immediately upon request and cannot be cancelled early, ensuring the pause is meaningful and effective.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer-term solution, self-exclusion allows you to close your 123ph account for a minimum of six months or permanently. Once self-exclusion is activated, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or participate in any gaming activity for the full duration of the exclusion period. We will also suppress any promotional communications to your registered email and phone number during this time. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly — the process is straightforward, confidential, and handled with care.
Activity History
Your full gaming and transaction history is available at any time from your account dashboard. Reviewing your activity regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your spending patterns and session frequency. You can filter by date range, game type, or transaction category to get a clear picture of your habits over time. Transparency about your own behaviour is a powerful first step toward maintaining a healthy relationship with gaming entertainment.
Opt Out of Promotions
Promotional offers and bonus notifications can sometimes encourage more play than you originally intended. You can opt out of all marketing communications — including SMS, email, and in-app notifications — at any time through your account preferences. Removing these prompts helps you engage with the platform purely on your own terms, without external nudges influencing your decisions. This setting can be updated at any time and takes effect within 24 hours of your request.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or experience level. It often develops gradually, making it difficult to notice until the impact on daily life becomes significant. At 123ph, we want every Filipino player to be aware of the early warning signs so they can seek support before the situation escalates. If you recognise any of the following patterns in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage reaching out for help.
- Spending more money or time on gaming than you originally planned, and finding it difficult to stop once you have started.
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.
- Neglecting work, family responsibilities, or personal health in favour of gaming sessions.
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are unable to access gaming platforms.
- Borrowing money or selling personal belongings to fund gaming activity.
- Hiding your gaming habits from family members or close friends out of shame or fear of judgement.
- Using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties.
If several of these signs feel familiar, please use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools described above, or reach out to a professional support organisation. You are not alone, and help is available across the Philippines. Our support team can also point you toward local resources if you are unsure where to start.
Support & Further Resources
You do not have to face this alone — professional help is available in the Philippines.
National Council on Problem Gambling
The Philippines has dedicated government and non-government organisations that provide confidential counselling and support for individuals affected by problem gambling. These services are available to players and their families, and many offer free consultations either in person or by phone. Reaching out to a trained counsellor is a sign of strength, not weakness, and can make a significant difference in regaining control of your finances and wellbeing. We encourage any player who is concerned about their gaming behaviour to contact a professional support service as a first step.
