At sg88, we believe that gaming should always be fun, controlled, and within your means. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, resources, and support needed to keep gaming a positive experience.
Our Commitment
sg88 is one of the Philippines' most trusted online gaming platforms, and with that trust comes a deep responsibility. We know that for the vast majority of our players — from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City — gaming on sg88 is a fun, social, and entertaining activity. But we also know that for some players, gaming can become a problem.
That is why sg88 has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives every player the power to stay in control. Whether you want to set a daily deposit limit, take a short cooling-off break, or permanently self-exclude from the platform, sg88 has the tools to support you — no questions asked, no judgment, no delay.
Responsible gaming at sg88 is not just a policy page — it is a core part of how we operate. Our customer support team is trained to identify signs of problem gambling and to connect players with the right resources. We work within the framework established by PAGCOR to ensure that sg88 remains a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players.
Quick Facts
Player Protection Tools
sg88 gives you full control over your gaming activity. These tools are available to every registered player at no cost and can be activated instantly through your account settings or by contacting sg88 support.
Set a maximum deposit amount in Philippine Peso (PHP) on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, sg88 will prevent further deposits until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but increases take 7 days to take effect — a deliberate cooling-off measure to protect you.
Set a maximum session duration so that sg88 automatically logs you out after a defined period of play. You can also enable session reminders that notify you of how long you have been playing, helping you stay aware of time spent on the platform.
Define the maximum amount in PHP you are comfortable losing within a set period. When your loss limit is reached, sg88 will restrict further play until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to enjoy sg88 games without the risk of significant financial loss.
Take a short break from sg88 without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods can be set for 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you will not be able to log in to your sg88 account or receive any promotional communications from us.
If you feel that gaming has become a problem, sg88's self-exclusion tool allows you to permanently or temporarily close your account. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to 5 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, sg88 will close your account, return any remaining balance, and ensure you are removed from all marketing lists.
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that display how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost during your current session. These reality checks are designed to keep you grounded and help you make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, which is why it is important to recognise the early warning signs. If you identify with any of the signs listed here, we strongly encourage you to use sg88's responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.
Remember: reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. sg88 is here to support you every step of the way.
Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly to get a sense of whether your gaming habits are healthy. This is not a clinical assessment — it is a starting point for reflection.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, consider using sg88's responsible gaming tools or seeking support.
Have you ever spent more money on gaming than you originally planned to in a single session?

Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by continuing to play or placing bigger bets?
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity or the amount of money you spent from family members or close friends?
Has gaming ever caused you to miss work, school, or important family events in the past 12 months?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you tried to reduce or stop gaming?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund your gaming activity?
Do you find yourself thinking about gaming frequently, even when you are doing other things?
Safer Gaming Tips
Following these simple guidelines will help you keep gaming fun, affordable, and stress-free. sg88 recommends all players — whether you are a casual player in Makati or a regular in Cebu — to adopt these habits as part of your gaming routine.
External Support
If you or someone you know needs help with problem gambling, these organisations provide free, confidential support for Filipino players.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming standards for all licensed operators in the Philippines. PAGCOR maintains a national self-exclusion registry and provides resources for players who need help managing their gaming activity. sg88 cooperates fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and reporting requirements.
The NCMH provides mental health support services across the Philippines, including counselling for behavioural addictions such as problem gambling. If you are in Metro Manila or nearby provinces, the NCMH Crisis Hotline is available 24/7. Problem gambling is a recognised mental health condition — seeking help is the right thing to do.
The Department of Health (DOH) operates a mental health helpline available to all Filipinos. If gaming-related stress, anxiety, or depression is affecting your daily life, reaching out to the DOH helpline is a confidential and free first step toward getting the support you need. All calls are handled by trained mental health professionals.
sg88's own support team is trained to assist players who are concerned about their gaming habits. Contact us via live chat 24/7 or email us at [email protected] to request any responsible gaming tool, ask questions about your account activity, or simply talk to someone who understands.
