Our Commitment to You

At 88milyon, we believe that online gaming should be a fun and entertaining experience for all Filipino players. While the majority of our players enjoy gaming responsibly, we recognize that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic. That's why we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing the tools, resources, and support you need to stay in control.

As a PAGCOR-regulated online gaming operator in the Philippines, 88milyon adheres to the highest standards of player protection and responsible gaming. We work closely with PAGCOR and other regulatory bodies to ensure that our platform is safe, fair, and transparent. Our responsible gaming program is designed to help you make informed decisions about your gaming activity and to provide assistance if you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related harm.

This page provides comprehensive information about responsible gaming, including warning signs of problem gambling, self-assessment tools, account control features, self-exclusion options, and links to professional support services in the Philippines. We encourage all players to read this information carefully and to reach out to our support team if you have any questions or concerns.

21+ Only. 88milyon is strictly for players aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations enforced by PAGCOR. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. We verify the age of all players during registration and reserve the right to request additional proof of age at any time.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling, is a behavioral addiction characterized by an inability to control gambling behavior despite negative consequences. Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, income level, or cultural background. It can lead to serious financial, emotional, and social problems for the individual and their loved ones.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following warning signs, it may be time to seek help:

  • Spending more money or time on gambling than you can afford or intended
  • Chasing losses by continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've lost
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or engaging in illegal activities to fund gambling
  • Lying to family, friends, or colleagues about your gambling activity
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative emotions like stress, anxiety, or depression
  • Experiencing relationship problems, financial difficulties, or legal issues as a result of gambling
  • Feeling guilty, ashamed, or hopeless about your gambling behavior
  • Repeatedly trying and failing to control, cut back, or stop gambling

Self-Assessment: Do You Have a Gambling Problem?

Answer the following questions honestly to assess whether your gambling may be becoming problematic:

  • Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to achieve the same level of excitement?
  • Have you ever felt restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling?
  • Have you made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling?
  • Do you often think about gambling (reliving past gambling experiences, planning your next gambling session, or thinking of ways to get money to gamble)?
  • Do you often gamble when feeling distressed (helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed)?
  • After losing money gambling, do you often return another day to try to win back your losses (chasing losses)?
  • Have you lied to family members, your therapist, or others to conceal the extent of your gambling?
  • Have you jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of gambling?
  • Do you rely on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling?

If you answered "yes" to four or more of these questions, you may have a gambling problem and should consider seeking professional help. Contact our support team or reach out to a professional counseling service for assistance.

Responsible Gaming Tools at 88milyon

88milyon provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control of your gaming activity. All of these tools are available free of charge and can be accessed through your account settings or by contacting our customer support team.

1. Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can deposit into your 88milyon account. Once you reach your limit, you will not be able to make additional deposits until the limit period resets. Deposit limits can be set or adjusted at any time through your account settings. Increases to deposit limits take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period, while decreases take effect immediately.

2. Loss Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly loss limits to control how much money you can lose during a specified period. Your loss limit is calculated as the difference between your total deposits and total withdrawals during the limit period. Once you reach your loss limit, you will not be able to place additional bets until the limit period resets.

3. Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration to control how long you spend gaming on the 88milyon platform. When your session time limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and will need to wait until the next day to log back in. This tool helps you take regular breaks and maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other activities.

4. Reality Checks

Enable reality check notifications to receive periodic reminders of how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost during your current session. Reality checks help you stay aware of your gaming activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

5. Account History and Activity Reports

Access your complete gaming history at any time through your account dashboard. Your activity report includes detailed information about all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, games played, wins, and losses. Reviewing your account history regularly can help you identify patterns in your gaming behavior and make more informed decisions.

6. Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a break from gaming, you can request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from the 88milyon platform. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to access your account, place bets, or receive promotional communications from 88milyon. Self-exclusion options include:

  • 24-Hour Cool-Off: A short break to help you regain control and perspective
  • 1-Week to 6-Month Temporary Exclusion: A longer break for players who need more time away from gaming
  • Permanent Self-Exclusion: A permanent closure of your account for players who wish to stop gaming indefinitely

To request self-exclusion, contact our customer support team. Self-exclusion requests are processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. If you have requested permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed permanently and cannot be reopened.

How to Access Responsible Gaming Tools

All responsible gaming tools can be accessed through your 88milyon account settings under the "Responsible Gaming" section. If you need assistance setting up any of these tools, our customer support team is available 24/7 via live chat or email to help you.

You can also contact our support team directly to request self-exclusion or to discuss any concerns you may have about your gaming activity. We are here to support you.

Support Resources in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available. The following organizations provide confidential counseling, support groups, and treatment services for individuals affected by gambling-related harm in the Philippines:

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Program

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a comprehensive responsible gaming program that includes player education, self-exclusion services, and referrals to professional counseling. PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources are available to all players in the Philippines, regardless of which gaming operator they use.

For more information about PAGCOR's responsible gaming initiatives, visit the official PAGCOR website or contact their responsible gaming hotline. PAGCOR also maintains a national self-exclusion registry that allows individuals to voluntarily exclude themselves from all PAGCOR-licensed gaming establishments and online platforms.

Mental Health and Counseling Services

Several mental health organizations in the Philippines provide specialized counseling and treatment for gambling addiction:

  • National Center for Mental Health (NCMH): The NCMH in Mandaluyong City offers outpatient and inpatient treatment programs for behavioral addictions, including gambling disorder. Services include individual counseling, group therapy, and family support programs.
  • Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA): PMHA provides mental health education, counseling services, and support groups throughout Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other major cities in the Philippines.
  • Private Counseling Centers: Many private psychologists and counseling centers in Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Cebu, and other urban areas offer specialized treatment for gambling addiction. Contact your local mental health provider for referrals.

  • NCMH Crisis Hotline: Provides immediate mental health support and referrals to treatment services
  • Local Government Mental Health Services: Many cities and municipalities in the Philippines operate mental health hotlines and walk-in counseling centers

Online Support Communities

Online support groups and forums can provide peer support and shared experiences for individuals recovering from gambling addiction. While online communities can be helpful, they should not replace professional treatment. Always consult with a licensed mental health professional for personalized advice and treatment.

Support for Family Members

Problem gambling doesn't just affect the individual—it impacts families, friends, and loved ones as well. If someone you care about is struggling with gambling addiction, support is available for you too. Family counseling services, support groups for family members, and educational resources can help you understand gambling addiction and learn how to support your loved one's recovery.

Contact the organizations listed above to inquire about family support programs in your area. Remember, you are not alone, and help is available.

Tips for Responsible Gaming

Follow these practical tips to ensure that your gaming experience at 88milyon remains fun, safe, and within your control:

  • Set a Budget: Decide how much money you can afford to spend on gaming before you start playing, and stick to that budget. Never gamble with money you need for essential expenses like rent, bills, food, or transportation.
  • Set Time Limits: Decide how much time you want to spend gaming each day or week, and use session time limits to enforce those boundaries. Take regular breaks to rest, eat, and engage in other activities.
  • Don't Chase Losses: Accept that losses are a normal part of gaming. Never try to win back money you've lost by increasing your bets or playing longer than planned. Chasing losses is a common sign of problem gambling.
  • Keep Gaming Fun: Gaming should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. If gaming stops being fun or starts causing stress, it's time to take a break.
  • Don't Gamble Under the Influence: Avoid gambling when you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as impaired judgment can lead to poor decisions and increased risk-taking.
  • Balance Gaming with Other Activities: Make sure gaming doesn't interfere with your work, school, family responsibilities, or social life. Maintain a healthy balance between gaming and other important aspects of your life.
  • Be Honest with Yourself: Regularly assess your gaming behavior and be honest about whether it's becoming problematic. If you notice warning signs, don't ignore them—seek help early.
  • Talk to Someone: If you're concerned about your gaming, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professional counselor. Sharing your concerns can help you gain perspective and find solutions.

When Gaming Becomes a Problem

If you find yourself unable to control your gaming despite negative consequences, if gaming is causing financial hardship, relationship problems, or emotional distress, or if you feel that gaming has taken over your life, it's time to seek professional help. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and recovery is possible with the right support.

Don't wait until the problem gets worse. Reach out to our support team, contact a professional counseling service, or call a crisis hotline today. Taking the first step toward getting help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Preventing Underage Gaming

88milyon is committed to preventing underage gaming and ensuring that only individuals aged 21 and above can access our platform. Underage gambling is illegal in the Philippines and can have serious negative consequences for young people's development, mental health, and financial well-being.

Our Age Verification Process

All players must verify their age during the registration process by providing a valid government-issued ID (Philippine passport, driver's license, SSS ID, UMID, or PhilSys National ID). Our verification system checks the date of birth on your ID to confirm that you are at least 21 years old. We reserve the right to request additional proof of age at any time, and accounts that fail age verification will be immediately suspended.

Parental Controls and Advice

Parents and guardians play a crucial role in preventing underage gaming. We encourage parents to:

  • Monitor their children's internet usage and be aware of the websites and apps they access
  • Use parental control software to block access to gambling websites and apps
  • Keep credit cards, e-wallets (GCash, PayMaya), and other payment methods secure and out of reach of minors
  • Talk to their children about the risks of gambling and the importance of waiting until they are of legal age
  • Set a positive example by practicing responsible gaming themselves

Reporting Underage Gaming

If you suspect that a minor is using the 88milyon platform or any other online gaming site, please report it immediately to our customer support team. We take all reports of underage gaming seriously and will investigate and take appropriate action, including account suspension and reporting to relevant authorities if necessary.
