Player Wellbeing First Self-Management Tools Philippines

Our Commitment to Safe Play

Responsible gaming is at the heart of everything we do at 23 ph. We are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent environment where Filipino players can enjoy sports betting and casino-style entertainment without putting their financial wellbeing or mental health at risk. We recognise that while the vast majority of our players engage with the platform purely for fun, a small number may develop patterns of play that cause harm — and we take that responsibility seriously. Our tools and policies are designed to give every player full visibility and control over their own activity at all times. We work in accordance with applicable Philippine gaming regulations and continuously review our responsible gaming measures to ensure they remain effective and accessible.

If you ever feel that your gaming habits are becoming difficult to manage, we encourage you to use the self-management tools available in your account settings or to reach out to our support team directly at [email protected]. Help is always available, and there is no judgement — only support.

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 can only be lowered right away — increases require a cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session time alerts so the platform notifies you after a set period of play. Taking regular breaks helps you stay aware of how long you have been active and keeps gaming a leisure activity rather than a compulsion.

Cooling-Off Period

Request a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period your account is temporarily suspended from placing bets or deposits, giving you space to reassess your gaming habits without permanently closing your account.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, you can self-exclude for a minimum of six months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully restricted and you will not receive any promotional communications from 23 ph for the duration of the exclusion period.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Understanding the warning signs is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, please reach out.

Chasing Losses

Feeling compelled to keep playing in order to win back money you have already lost is one of the most common and serious warning signs of problem gambling. This pattern can quickly escalate and lead to significant financial harm.

Spending Beyond Your Budget

Regularly wagering more than you can comfortably afford, borrowing money to fund gaming, or neglecting essential expenses such as rent, food, or bills in favour of placing bets are clear indicators that gaming has moved beyond healthy entertainment.

Emotional Distress

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when you are not able to play, or using gaming as a way to escape from stress, personal problems, or difficult emotions, suggests that the activity may be having a negative impact on your mental health and daily life.

Hiding Your Activity

Concealing the amount of time or money you spend on gaming from family members, friends, or colleagues is a strong signal that you may already sense your habits have become problematic and are worth addressing sooner rather than later.

Loss of Time Awareness

Consistently losing track of how long you have been playing, missing meals, sleep, or important commitments because of gaming sessions, or finding it genuinely difficult to stop once you have started are all signs that your relationship with gaming may need attention.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Quick answers to the questions Filipino players most often ask about staying safe on 23 ph.

You can set a deposit limit by logging in to your account and navigating to the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings. From there, you can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit that suits your budget. The limit takes effect immediately once saved, and any reduction you make is applied straight away. If you wish to increase a limit, a mandatory review period applies to ensure the decision is considered rather than impulsive. If you need assistance setting up your limits, our support team is available at [email protected].

When you activate self-exclusion, your 23 ph account is immediately restricted — you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits for the duration of the exclusion period. We will also remove you from all marketing and promotional communications for the entire period. Self-exclusion is available for a minimum of six months and can be set as a permanent exclusion if preferred. To request self-exclusion, please contact our support team at [email protected] or use the option in your account settings. We take self-exclusion requests very seriously and process them as a priority.

Yes — if you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, support is available in the Philippines. We encourage players to seek help from qualified mental health professionals or counselling services in their area.

Absolutely. The cooling-off period feature allows you to temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days without permanently closing it. During this time you will not be able to log in or place any bets, giving you a genuine break from the platform. Once the cooling-off period ends, your account is automatically reactivated and you can resume playing if you choose to. This option is ideal if you feel you need a short pause to reassess your habits without committing to a full self-exclusion. You can activate a cooling-off period through your account settings or by contacting [email protected].
