Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

At pgplus, we believe that online gaming — whether that's spinning JILI slots, watching a PBA live bet settle, or joining a bingo room with players from Cebu to Davao — should always be fun. The moment it stops being that, it stops being the experience we want to deliver to every Filipino player on our platform.

Responsible gaming is not just a checkbox for pgplus. It is built into our platform design, our player account tools, and our support team training. We actively monitor gameplay patterns, make self-management tools easy to find, and never use pressure tactics to encourage players to spend beyond their personal limits.

If you are playing at pgplus, we want you to walk away feeling good about your session — win or lose. Setting a budget before you play, taking regular breaks, and treating gaming as one form of entertainment among many are the habits that keep the experience positive long-term.

This page outlines all of the responsible gaming tools and resources available to you as a pgplus player, and provides guidance on recognising the early warning signs of problem gambling before they become serious.

Gambling Involves Financial Risk

Online casino games and sports betting are forms of entertainment, not reliable income sources. You may win , but you should always expect to lose. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose — not rent, not bills, not money intended for your family. Always set a strict budget before your session and stick to it.

Age Restriction — Strictly Enforced: pgplus requires all players to be 21 years of age or older to register, deposit, and play. This is a mandatory requirement under Philippine gaming regulations. Age verification documents are reviewed before any withdrawal is processed. Underage accounts are permanently closed and all associated balances are forfeited.
PAGCOR Licensing Context: pgplus operates in compliance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations. PAGCOR — the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation — is the government body responsible for overseeing and regulating online gaming in the Philippines. PAGCOR also publishes responsible gaming guidelines and resources for Filipino players at their official website.
Free to Use: All responsible gaming tools on pgplus — deposit limits, session timers, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — are completely free to activate and take effect immediately upon request.

Responsible Gaming Tools at pgplus

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit into your pgplus account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your chosen limit is reached, further deposits are blocked for the remainder of that period. Limits take effect immediately when lowered, and require a 7-day cooling period to increase — giving you time to reconsider.

Session Time Limits

Define the maximum number of hours per day or per week that you want to spend actively logged in to the pgplus platform. When your session limit is approaching, pgplus will display a clear on-screen reminder. When the limit is reached, your session will be ended automatically and you will need to wait until the next period begins before logging back in.

Loss Limits

Cap the total amount you are permitted to lose within a defined time period. When your net loss reaches your set limit, pgplus will automatically restrict further gameplay until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to protect a specific budget and avoid chasing losses after an unlucky session on slots or live table games.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming without fully closing your account. Cooling-off periods can be set from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you will not be able to deposit or place any bets on pgplus. Your account remains intact and your balance is preserved, ready for when you return feeling refreshed and in control.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break or are concerned about your gambling behaviour, you can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your pgplus account is suspended, all marketing communications are stopped, and you will not be able to create a new account. Reinstatement after a fixed-term exclusion requires a formal request and a mandatory review period.

Reality Checks & Support Access

Enable periodic reality-check pop-ups that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during your current session. These neutral, factual prompts help you make an informed decision about whether to continue. Our 24/7 Filipino-friendly support team is also always one click away if you need to discuss your gaming behaviour confidentially.

All tools can be activated by contacting pgplus support at [email protected] or directly through your account settings panel once logged in.

How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools

pgplus has made it straightforward to set up any responsible gaming control on your account. You do not need to call anyone or fill out complicated forms. Here is the simplest path to getting your protections in place quickly.

All requests submitted via email to [email protected] with the subject line "Responsible Gaming Request" are treated as priority by our support team and will be processed within one (1) hour during business hours, and within four (4) hours outside business hours.

Remember: lowering a limit or activating a self-exclusion always takes effect immediately. Only increases to limits involve a waiting period to ensure that decisions made in the heat of a session cannot be instantly reversed.

  • Log In to Your pgplus Account

    Visit the pgplus Login page and sign in to your registered account. All responsible gaming settings are tied to your verified player account and take effect platform-wide.

  • Navigate to Account Settings

    Go to your account settings or player dashboard. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section — it is clearly labelled and accessible from the main menu.

  • Select Your Preferred Tool

    Choose from deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, reality checks, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion. Each tool has a simple input field where you enter your desired value or duration.

  • Confirm Your Selection

    Review your chosen settings and confirm. You will receive an email confirmation to your registered address once the tool is active on your account. Save this email for your records.

  • Contact Support If Needed

    If you cannot access your account settings or would prefer to speak to someone, email [email protected] with "Responsible Gaming Request" in the subject line and our team will handle it directly.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone regardless of age, income, or background. It develops gradually and is often difficult to recognise from the inside. The earlier it is identified, the easier it is to address. pgplus encourages every player — even those who feel fully in control — to periodically ask themselves the following questions honestly.

If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, it may be a sign that your relationship with gambling is becoming unhealthy. This is not a cause for shame — it is a reason to take action, and pgplus is here to help you do that.

Ask Yourself Honestly

1
Do you gamble to escape stress, loneliness, boredom, or negative emotions rather than purely for entertainment?
2
Have you ever chased losses — continued gambling after a losing session to try to win your money back?
3
Have you borrowed money, sold items, or used funds intended for bills or family expenses in order to gamble?
4
Do people close to you — family in Manila, Cebu, or elsewhere — express concern about how much time or money you spend gambling?
5
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to stick to your own rules?
6
Do you feel irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not gambling or when you are unable to access your gaming account?
You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling is a recognised health condition, not a personal failing. Millions of people across the Philippines and around the world have sought help and gone on to enjoy healthy, balanced lives. Reaching out early is always the right move.

Tips for maintaining healthy gaming habits at pgplus:

  • Always set a fixed budget before your session and treat it as an entertainment expense, not an investment.
  • Take regular breaks — at least 15 minutes every hour of play. Step away, have a snack, do something else.
  • Never play when you are tired, emotionally distressed, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Keep gaming in proportion to your other activities — time with family in Quezon City or Davao, work, hobbies, and rest all deserve their space.
  • Do not keep your financial situation secret from close family members. Transparency is protective.
  • Use pgplus's deposit and loss limit tools proactively — not reactively — before problems arise.
  • Remember that the house edge means the longer you play, the more likely you are to be behind overall. Gambling outcomes are random and past results never predict future results.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Resources: The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provides responsible gaming awareness resources for Filipino players. If you are concerned about your own or a family member's gambling behaviour, we encourage you to seek information and support through appropriate Philippine channels including PAGCOR's responsible gaming programme and accredited counselling services. pgplus can provide guidance on how to access these resources — contact us at [email protected].

Protecting Young People

Under Philippine law and pgplus's own policies, all players must be a minimum of 21 years old to register and play on the pgplus platform. This is non-negotiable. Age verification is conducted as part of the standard KYC (Know Your Customer) process using government-issued Philippine identification documents such as a driver's licence, Philippine passport, SSS Unified Multi-Purpose ID, PhilHealth card, or Postal ID.

If pgplus discovers that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately and permanently closed, all pending withdrawals will be cancelled, and the matter will be escalated to our compliance team. Any deposits made by an underage player will be handled in accordance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations.

If you are a parent or guardian, we recommend using parental control software on devices accessible to minors to prevent access to online gambling platforms. Talk openly with young people in your household about the risks of online gambling and why the minimum age restriction exists.

ID Verification

Government-issued Philippine ID required during the KYC process before any withdrawal is approved.

Account Security

pgplus accounts are protected by password and OTP verification to prevent unauthorised access by minors.

No Marketing to Minors

pgplus does not send promotional communications to any player whose age has not been fully verified as 21 or older.

pgplus is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for every Filipino player. Whether you want to explore our casino, set up responsible gaming limits on your account, or speak to our support team, we are here for you around the clock.
