Applies to all Filipino players on the 18yo mobile platform. Gambling is for adults aged 18 and above only.

Our Commitment to Filipino Players

Gaming is meant to be a form of entertainment — not a source of financial stress or emotional harm. At 18yo, we take our responsibility to every Filipino player seriously, and we actively encourage healthy habits around sports betting and casino-style games on our mobile platform.

We understand that problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of experience or income level. That is why we have built a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools directly into the 18yo platform, so you always have control over how you play, how much you spend, and how long you stay on.

If you ever feel that your gaming is no longer fun or is causing you worry, we urge you to use the tools below or reach out to our support team immediately at [email protected]. You are never alone in this, and help is always available.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much Philippine pesos you can deposit. Once your limit is reached, no further top-ups are accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit instantly, but increases take 24 hours to apply — giving you a cooling-off buffer.

Session Time Reminders

Choose to receive on-screen reminders after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of continuous play. These prompts help you stay aware of how long you have been active, so you can make a conscious decision to continue or take a break without losing track of time.

Take a Time-Out

Need a short break? Activate a time-out period of 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month directly from your account settings. During a time-out, your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place any bets until the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, you can request self-exclusion for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Once active, self-exclusion cannot be reversed for the duration of the chosen period. Contact [email protected] to start the process and our team will act on your request promptly.

Recognising When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to spot. Below are some common warning signs that your relationship with gaming may need attention. If you identify with several of these, we strongly encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or speak to a professional.

  • You spend more money than you planned or can afford on gaming.
  • You find yourself chasing losses by placing more bets to win back what you lost.
  • Gaming is affecting your relationships, work, or daily responsibilities.
  • You feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you are not playing.
  • You hide your gaming activity or the amount you spend from family and friends.
  • You borrow money or sell belongings to fund your gaming sessions.
  • You have tried to cut back but find it difficult to stop or reduce your play.

Recognising these signs early is the first step toward regaining control. The 18yo platform is designed to support you at every stage — whether that means setting tighter limits, taking a break, or stepping away entirely until you feel ready to return.

Keeping Minors Safe

The 18yo platform is strictly for players aged 18 years and above. Every new account undergoes identity and age verification before full access is granted. If you are a parent or guardian, we recommend activating parental control software on shared devices and keeping your login credentials private to prevent anyone underage from accessing the platform. If you suspect a minor has registered an account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take action without delay.

Common Questions About Responsible Gaming

Log in to your account and go to the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. From there, you can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in Philippine pesos. The new limit takes effect immediately if you are lowering it, or after 24 hours if you are increasing it. Our support team at [email protected] can also assist you with setting limits if you need help navigating the settings.

No. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed. This is intentional — the restriction is designed to provide a firm, reliable boundary so you can focus on your wellbeing without the temptation to log back in early. After your self-exclusion period ends, you may contact [email protected] to discuss reactivating your account.

Yes. All responsible gaming requests — including limit changes, time-outs, and self-exclusion — are handled confidentially by our support team. Your information is not shared with third parties except where required by Philippine law or our regulatory obligations. You can review our full Privacy Policy for more details on how we handle your personal data.

If you need professional support beyond what 18yo's tools can provide, we encourage you to reach out to qualified mental health professionals or organisations in the Philippines that specialise in addiction and behavioural health. Our support team at [email protected] can point you toward appropriate resources based on your situation and location within the Philippines.
