At phww, we believe that gaming should always be fun, controlled, and within your means. We are committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, resources, and support they need to keep their gaming experience safe and enjoyable. Our responsible gaming programme is built around PAGCOR guidelines and the best practices of the international gaming industry.
Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, help is available. phww provides free self-exclusion and limit-setting tools to all registered players.
Minimum Age Requirement
Philippine gaming regulations require all phww players to be at least 21 years of age.
Every phww account comes with built-in tools to help you stay in control of your gaming activity.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your phww account to keep your spending within a budget you're comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period.
Set a maximum session duration so phww automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when you've been playing for a set amount of time. A great way to stay mindful of how long you've been on the platform.
Take a short break from phww without permanently closing your account. Cool-off periods range from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During a cool-off, you cannot log in or place bets, but your account and balance remain intact.
If you feel your gaming is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from phww for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will not receive any marketing communications.
Set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach your loss limit, phww will prevent further betting until the limit period resets. This tool helps protect your bankroll and prevents chasing losses.
You can opt out of all phww promotional communications at any time — including bonus offers, free bet notifications, and event reminders. Reducing exposure to gambling promotions is a recognised responsible gaming practice.
Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online gaming is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. phww enforces this requirement rigorously through a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process that every new player must complete before making their first deposit or placing any bet.
During KYC verification, you will be asked to submit a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as your PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's licence, SSS/GSIS ID, or PRC ID — along with a selfie for facial verification. Accounts that cannot be verified as 21+ will be suspended immediately.
Why 21+? The Philippines sets the minimum gambling age at 21 to protect young adults from the potential harms of problem gambling during a critical period of personal and financial development. phww fully supports this policy and takes age verification seriously.
Provide your basic details including full name, date of birth, email, and mobile number.
Upload a clear photo of your valid Philippine government-issued ID (front and back).
Take a live selfie to confirm your identity matches your submitted ID document.
Once verified as 21+, your phww account is fully activated. Set your limits before you start playing.
Answer honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to several of these questions, it may be time to use phww's responsible gaming tools or seek support.
If you answered yes to two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to activate phww's self-exclusion tool or contact the NCMH Crisis Hotline at 1553 for free, confidential support.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available to phww players. When you self-exclude, phww will immediately suspend your account and take all reasonable steps to prevent you from accessing the platform for the duration of your chosen exclusion period.
phww offers the following self-exclusion periods:
During any self-exclusion period, phww will:
Important: Self-exclusion is a serious commitment. Players who self-exclude must not attempt to circumvent the exclusion by registering a new account. Doing so is a violation of phww's Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of any balance.
To activate self-exclusion, log in to your phww account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, and select your preferred exclusion period. You can also contact phww support at [email protected] to request self-exclusion directly.
You are never alone. If gambling is affecting your life or the lives of people around you, these free resources are available to Filipinos nationwide.

Keeping gaming fun is all about staying in control. Here are some practical tips every phww player should follow.
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start. Only use money set aside for entertainment — never use rent, grocery, or bill money for gambling on phww.
Step away from the screen regularly. Long, uninterrupted gaming sessions can cloud your judgment. Use phww's session time limit tool to get automatic reminders.
Treat phww as entertainment, not a source of income. The house always has an edge — enjoy the experience, celebrate wins, and accept losses as the cost of entertainment.
If you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop. Chasing losses by betting more is one of the most common paths to problem gambling. Log out, take a break, and come back another day.
If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand, talk to a family member or close friend. Sharing your concerns is often the first and most important step toward getting help.
Don't wait until gambling becomes a problem. Set deposit limits, loss limits, and session timers proactively. These tools are free, easy to use, and available to every phww account holder.
phww is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. Enjoy our full range of casino games, slots, bingo, and sports betting — with the peace of mind that comes from knowing phww has your back. 21+ only. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
