Our Responsible Gaming Commitments

bonusph has built a comprehensive responsible gaming program to support Filipino players at every step — from account setup to ongoing gameplay monitoring and crisis support.

Self-Exclusion Program

Players who feel they need a break from gaming can activate bonusph's self-exclusion tool instantly. Choose from a temporary cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days — or opt for a permanent account closure. During any exclusion period, your account is fully locked and all marketing communications are suspended.

Deposit Limit Controls

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your bonusph account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for at least 72 hours — giving you a built-in cooling-off period before any changes take effect. Decreasing limits takes effect instantly.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum daily session time to keep your gaming activity in check. bonusph will notify you when you're approaching your session limit and automatically log you out when the limit is reached. This tool helps Filipino players maintain a healthy balance between gaming and everyday life in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and beyond.

Loss Limit Settings

In addition to deposit limits, bonusph offers a loss limit feature that caps how much you can lose within a defined time period. Once your loss limit is reached for the day, week, or month, your account is automatically restricted from placing further bets until the period resets — keeping your finances firmly under your control.

Reality Checks

bonusph sends periodic reality check notifications during your gaming sessions — reminding you how long you've been playing, how much you've spent, and your current account balance. These gentle reminders are designed to keep you grounded and in full control of your gaming behaviour at all times.

24/7 Support & Counselling

Our dedicated responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via live chat. If you or someone you know is showing signs of problem gambling, our trained support agents can connect you with professional counselling resources and help you activate the appropriate protection tools on your bonusph account immediately.

Self-Help Tools

How to Use bonusph's Protection Tools

Accessing responsible gaming tools on bonusph is straightforward. Here is a step-by-step guide to activating the protections that matter most to you — all accessible directly from your account settings without needing to contact support.

All protection tools activate instantly. Once set, limits and exclusions take effect on your account right away — no waiting period, no exceptions.

Need help? If you cannot locate a tool or need assistance setting up your limits, our live chat support team is available 24/7 and will walk you through the process.

01
Log In to Your bonusph Account

Access the bonusph platform and log in to your registered account. All responsible gaming tools are located under your Account Settings menu — look for the "Responsible Gaming" tab in your profile dashboard.

02
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings

Click on your account avatar or username at the top right of the screen, then select "Account Settings." From the left-side menu, choose "Responsible Gaming" to access all available protection tools in one place.

03
Set Your Deposit, Loss, or Session Limits

In the Limits section, enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly limits for deposits, losses, and session time. Confirm each limit with your account password. Limits take effect immediately upon confirmation and are displayed in Philippine Peso (₱).

04
Activate a Cool-Off or Self-Exclusion Period

If you feel you need a break, select the Cool-Off or Self-Exclusion option. Choose your desired duration — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, or permanent. Once activated, your account is locked for the full duration and cannot be reopened early under any circumstances.

05
Enable Reality Check Notifications

Turn on Reality Check reminders to receive periodic in-session notifications about your play duration and spending. Set your preferred reminder interval — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — to stay consistently aware of your activity without breaking your gaming flow.

06
Contact Support If You Need More Help

If at any point you feel overwhelmed or need immediate assistance, use the live chat button available on every page of the bonusph platform. Our responsible gaming support agents are specially trained and available 24/7 to provide guidance and connect you with professional resources.

Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming Staying Healthy?

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, bonusph encourages you to reach out to our support team or activate a self-exclusion period.

Have you ever spent more money on gaming than you originally intended, or exceeded your own mental budget for the session?

Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or used funds meant for bills or family expenses (like rent, utilities, or tuition) to fund your gaming activity?

Do you find yourself thinking about gaming frequently when you are not playing — planning your next session, thinking about past losses, or counting down to your next deposit?

Have you tried to cut back or stop gaming entirely but found it difficult or impossible to follow through on that intention?

Has gaming negatively affected your relationships with family or friends, your performance at work or school, or your overall mental and physical health?

Do you feel the urge to "chase losses" — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost during a session or over recent days?

Have you hidden the extent of your gaming activity, or the amount of money involved, from people close to you — such as a spouse, parent, or close friend?

If any of these questions resonate with you, please reach out to bonusph's responsible gaming support team via live chat, or contact the PAGCOR responsible gaming helpline. You are not alone, and help is available right now.

Understanding Responsible Gaming at bonusph

bonusph is one of the Philippines' most trusted online gaming platforms — and with that trust comes a deep, genuine commitment to the welfare of every Filipino player on our platform. Responsible gaming is not just a checkbox for bonusph; it is a core value that shapes how we design our products, train our support teams, and interact with our community of players from Luzon to Mindanao.

We understand that for the vast majority of our players, gaming on bonusph is a fun, relaxed pastime — a chance to unwind after a long day in Manila traffic, enjoy a few rounds of fishing arcade games, or try your luck on the slots over the weekend. And we want to keep it that way. The moment gaming stops being fun and starts causing stress, financial strain, or personal problems, bonusph wants to be part of the solution — not part of the problem.

The 21+ Age Policy — Non-Negotiable

Under Philippine gaming regulations and our operating framework, the bonusph platform is strictly and exclusively available to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. This is not a suggestion — it is a hard requirement that is enforced through our Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process, which every new player must complete before making a deposit or placing a bet.

During the KYC process, bonusph requires players to submit a valid, government-issued Philippine ID — such as a PhilSys national ID, passport, or driver's license — to confirm their identity and date of birth. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended, all funds will be handled in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the incident will be reported as required by law.

We also strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on shared devices and to have open conversations with younger family members about the legal age requirements for online gaming in the Philippines.

Recognizing Problem Gambling in the Philippines

Problem gambling is a recognized behavioural issue that affects a small but significant number of players across the Philippines — and globally. It is characterized by a persistent and recurrent inability to control gambling behaviour despite the negative consequences it causes to the individual's financial, personal, and professional life.

Common signs of problem gambling include: spending beyond one's means, neglecting work or family responsibilities to gamble, borrowing money from friends, relatives, or lenders (including "5-6" informal lenders) to fund gaming activity, feeling irritable or anxious when not gambling, and repeatedly failing to reduce or stop gambling despite genuinely wanting to do so.

If you recognize these patterns in yourself or someone you care about, bonusph urges you to take action early. The sooner protective measures are put in place, the easier it is to regain control. Our platform tools and our support team are here to help — no judgment, no pressure, just practical support.

PAGCOR and Responsible Gaming in the Philippines

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) — the government agency responsible for regulating and licensing gaming operations in the Philippines — maintains a dedicated responsible gaming program for Filipino players. PAGCOR's responsible gaming initiatives include player protection guidelines, casino exclusion programs, and public awareness campaigns.

bonusph operates in alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and encourages all players who need additional support to reach out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources directly. Filipino players seeking to self-exclude from all PAGCOR-regulated gaming venues may also do so through the PAGCOR casino exclusion program.

Practical Tips for Safe Gaming on bonusph

  • Set a budget before you play — decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending, and treat it like money spent on entertainment, not an investment.
  • Use bonusph's deposit limits — set your limits to match your budget so the platform enforces your decision automatically, even in the heat of the moment.
  • Take regular breaks — use the session time limit feature to ensure you step away from the screen regularly, stay hydrated, and maintain perspective.
  • Never chase losses — losing sessions are a normal part of gaming. Chasing losses by increasing bets or continuing to play is one of the most common and harmful patterns in problem gambling.
  • Play sober and clear-headed — avoid gaming when tired, stressed, emotionally overwhelmed, or under the influence of alcohol. Poor decisions made in these states can have lasting financial consequences.
  • Keep gaming in proportion — gaming should be one of many activities in your life, not the main one. Family time, career, physical health, and social relationships should always take priority.
  • Talk to someone you trust — if gaming is becoming a source of stress or conflict in your household, talking openly about it with a trusted family member or friend is one of the most effective first steps.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Log in to your bonusph account and navigate to Account Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming tab. Under the Limits section, choose Deposit Limits and enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly amount in Philippine Peso (₱). Your limit will take effect immediately. Remember: you can lower your limit at any time, but increasing it requires a mandatory 72-hour waiting period.

A cool-off period is a short-term break — typically 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days — after which your account automatically reactivates. It is designed for players who need a temporary pause. Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment, ranging from 6 months to permanent closure, and the account cannot be reopened during the exclusion period under any circumstances. Both tools are available directly from your Responsible Gaming settings.

No. Once a self-exclusion period is activated on your bonusph account, it cannot be reversed or shortened for any reason. This is by design — the value of self-exclusion as a responsible gaming tool depends entirely on its enforceability. If you selected a time-limited exclusion, your account will only be eligible for reactivation after the full period has elapsed and after you have completed a mandatory re-evaluation process with our support team.

Any remaining eligible balance in your bonusph account at the time of self-exclusion will be processed for withdrawal to your registered payment method — such as your GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, or UnionBank account — subject to standard verification procedures. Bonus funds and any funds under active wagering requirements may be forfeited in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

bonusph operates within the Philippine regulatory framework for online gaming. We are committed to full compliance with all applicable regulations, including PAGCOR's responsible gaming requirements, anti-money laundering obligations under the AMLA, and data protection requirements under the Data Privacy Act of 2012. For specific licensing queries, please contact our support team.

Our responsible gaming support team is available 24/7 via live chat — just click the chat icon on any page of the bonusph platform. You can also reach us by email at [email protected] (plain text only — not a clickable link). Our average response time is 3–5 minutes via live chat, and we aim to respond to all email inquiries within one business day.
