Our Commitment to Safe Play

87ph is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all players in the Philippines. These are the core principles that guide how we support responsible gaming on our platform.

Set Your Own Limits

You are always in control of how much you spend and how long you play. 87ph encourages every player to set personal deposit, loss, and session time limits before starting any gaming activity. Reviewing and adjusting these limits regularly helps you stay within a budget that is comfortable for your lifestyle. Limits are a practical tool, not a sign of weakness — they are how smart players protect their enjoyment long-term. If you ever feel your limits need to be tightened, you can update them at any time through your account settings.

Take Breaks, Stay Balanced

Regular breaks are one of the most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable and prevent it from becoming a habit that feels out of control. We recommend stepping away from the platform after every session and avoiding long, uninterrupted periods of play. If you find yourself gaming to escape stress, boredom, or personal problems, that is a signal to pause and reassess. Healthy gaming fits naturally into your daily routine without crowding out other activities, relationships, or responsibilities. A short break today keeps the fun going for much longer.

Self-Exclusion When You Need It

If you feel that gaming is no longer something you can manage comfortably, self-exclusion is a straightforward option available to all 87ph account holders. A self-exclusion request temporarily or permanently restricts your access to the platform, giving you the space to step back without temptation. This tool is confidential and can be activated by contacting our support team using the email address listed in the footer. During a self-exclusion period, your account will not accept deposits or allow gameplay. We take every self-exclusion request seriously and process them promptly to protect your wellbeing.

Protecting Minors

87ph strictly prohibits anyone under 21 years of age from registering or participating in any gaming activity on the platform, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We verify the age of all account holders during the registration process and may request additional documentation at any time. If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent access to gaming platforms. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended and all funds returned in accordance with applicable law. Keeping gaming away from minors is a shared responsibility between the platform and every adult player.

Never Chase Your Losses

One of the most important principles of responsible gaming is accepting that losses are a normal part of any game of chance. Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money already spent — is a pattern that can quickly lead to financial and emotional harm. If you have reached your loss limit for the day, the right move is always to stop and return another time. No single session defines your overall experience, and the platform will always be here when you are ready to play again within your means. Accepting losses calmly is a sign of a healthy relationship with gaming.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If gaming is causing stress, conflict, or financial difficulty in your life, speaking openly with a trusted friend, family member, or professional counsellor is one of the most effective steps you can take. Many Filipino players find that simply talking about their concerns helps them regain perspective and make better decisions. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support — early conversations are always easier than waiting until a problem becomes serious. Our support team can also point you toward local Philippine resources and helplines if you need more structured assistance. You are never alone in managing your gaming habits.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Recognising early warning signs is the first step toward keeping gaming a positive part of your life. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, it may be time to seek support.

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or regularly exceeding the budget you set for yourself.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to access the platform or when you try to cut back on gaming.
  • Using gaming as a way to escape from problems, stress, feelings of depression, or difficult personal situations.
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming activities.
  • Borrowing money, selling personal belongings, or neglecting bills and essential expenses in order to fund gaming sessions.
  • Repeatedly trying to cut down or stop gaming but finding yourself unable to follow through on that intention.
  • Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of the time spent on gaming.

If you recognise two or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we encourage you to use the self-exclusion tool, speak with a trusted person, or contact a professional support service. The FAQ page also contains additional guidance on managing your account and accessing help.

Responsible Gaming – Common Questions

Quick answers to what Filipino players most often ask about staying safe on 87ph.

You can set deposit and spending limits directly through your 87ph account settings once you are logged in. Navigate to the responsible gaming section of your profile and choose the type of limit you want to apply — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Reducing a limit, however, takes effect right away. If you need assistance finding the settings, visit the FAQ page or contact our support team using the email in the footer.

When you request self-exclusion, your 87ph account is restricted so that you cannot log in, deposit funds, or participate in any gaming activity for the duration you specify. The process is confidential and is handled by our support team, who will confirm the exclusion period with you before it is applied. During the exclusion period, you will not receive any promotional communications from the platform. If you have a remaining balance at the time of exclusion, it will be held securely and returned to you upon request in accordance with our terms. Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available, and we process every request with care and without judgement.

No — all players must be at least 21 years of age to register and participate in any gaming activity on 87ph, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. Age verification is conducted during the registration process, and additional documentation may be requested at any time. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be suspended immediately and all associated funds returned according to applicable law. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned about a minor accessing gaming platforms, we recommend using parental control software on shared devices. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a responsibility we take seriously.

If you or someone you know needs professional support for problem gambling in the Philippines, there are several resources available. The National Council on Problem Gambling Philippines and PAGCOR's responsible gaming programme both offer guidance and referral services for Filipino players. Local mental health professionals and community counselling centres can also provide confidential support. You do not need to be in a crisis to reach out — early intervention is always more effective. Our support team can provide additional information on local resources if you contact us using the email address shown in the footer of this page.
