Responsible Gaming
at pg65

Gaming should always be a source of fun — never stress, never financial pressure, and never something that takes over your life. At pg65, we take our duty of care to every Filipino player seriously. This page covers everything you need to stay in control: our 21+ policy, the tools we provide, the warning signs to watch out for, and where to get help if you ever need it.

Our Commitment

Gaming That Stays Fun

pg65 is more than just an online casino — we are a community built around entertainment, excitement, and fair play for Filipino players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and everywhere in between. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can stop being fun and start becoming a problem.

That's why responsible gaming is not a legal checkbox for pg65. It is a genuine, ongoing commitment. We have invested in real tools, real policies, and real support pathways so that every player on our platform can enjoy their experience within safe boundaries — and get help quickly if those boundaries start to slip.

Our responsible gaming programme operates in full alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework, the most relevant regulatory standard for online gaming in the Philippines. We actively monitor player behaviour for signs of harmful patterns and intervene proactively where we see them.

The pg65 Promise: We will never market aggressively to players who show signs of problematic gambling. We will always prioritise your wellbeing over your wagering volume. No exceptions.

Built-In Protections

Tools Every pg65 Player Has Access To

Every single one of these tools is available free of charge to all registered pg65 players. No waiting periods, no fees — just open your account dashboard and take control.

Deposit Limit Controls

Set a hard cap on how much you can deposit per day, per week, or per month in Philippine Peso. Once your limit is reached, pg65 will automatically block further deposits until the period resets. Increases to your limit take 7 days to take effect — decreases are instant.

Session Time Limits

Tell pg65 how long you want to play in a single session. When your chosen time limit is up, you will receive a clear on-screen notification. You can also enable a mandatory log-out after your session limit expires so you cannot continue playing even if you wanted to.

Loss Limit Controls

Define the maximum amount in PHP you are comfortable losing over a given period. pg65 will stop you from placing further bets once that threshold is crossed — helping you stick to a budget that makes sense for your personal financial situation.

Cooling-Off Periods

Need a short break? A cooling-off period lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit or place bets. Your account and balance remain intact so you can return when the period ends.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion lets you block your pg65 account for a minimum of 6 months, or for 1 year, 2 years, or indefinitely. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — this is intentional, to protect you.

Reality Check Alerts

Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in that session. These gentle interruptions help keep you aware of time passing — something that can be easy to lose track of in the flow of a bingo or slot session.


Step-by-Step

How to Self-Exclude on pg65

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on pg65. It is designed for players who feel their gambling has become difficult to control and who want a firm, enforced break — not just a soft reminder.

Activating self-exclusion is straightforward and takes less than two minutes. Here is exactly how to do it:

Important: Once self-exclusion is active, any pending withdrawals will still be processed to your GCash, Maya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank account. Your funds are always safe.

Self-Exclusion Steps

  • 01
    Log in to your pg65 account — use the pg65 Login link in the top navigation bar to access your account dashboard.
  • 02
    Navigate to Account Settings — look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section within your account dashboard menu.
  • 03
    Select Self-Exclusion — choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or indefinite. Read the confirmation notice carefully before proceeding.
  • 04
    Confirm your decision — you will be asked to confirm twice. Once confirmed, self-exclusion takes effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address.
  • 05
    Contact support if needed — if you encounter any difficulty activating self-exclusion, contact pg65 support via live chat 24/7 and an agent will process it manually on your behalf, immediately.
  • 06
    Consider national exclusion — for a broader exclusion covering multiple PAGCOR-licensed operators, you can also register with PAGCOR's responsible gaming exclusion programme directly.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can creep up gradually. These are the most common warning signs that gaming may be moving from entertainment into something that needs attention.

Chasing Losses

You keep playing past your planned budget, convinced that one more bet will win back what you have already lost. This cycle rarely ends well and is one of the clearest early indicators of a gambling problem.

Losing Track of Time

Sessions that were supposed to last 30 minutes regularly stretch into hours without you noticing. Gaming is taking up significantly more time than you planned or intended on a regular basis.

Gambling With Bill Money

You have used money set aside for rent, utilities, food, load, or other essential expenses to fund your gambling. This is a serious sign that gambling has moved beyond entertainment and into financial risk territory.

Hiding Your Gambling

You find yourself being secretive about how much you play or how much you have spent — hiding transactions from family members in Manila, Cebu, or wherever you are in the Philippines, or feeling defensive when the topic comes up.

Mood Depends on Results

Your emotional state — your whole day, really — is heavily influenced by whether you won or lost. Wins feel like relief rather than fun; losses trigger anger, anxiety, or depression that lingers well beyond the session.

Borrowing to Gamble

You have borrowed money from friends, family, or lenders specifically to fund gambling, or you have used credit facilities in ways that your future self will struggle to repay. This is a strong signal that immediate support is needed.

Recognising the signs is the first step. If any of the above resonates with you or someone you know, please use the self-exclusion tools on pg65 and consider reaching out to one of the support organisations listed below. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the responsible thing to do.

Age Verification

Strict 21+ Policy at pg65

Under PAGCOR regulations, online casino gaming in the Philippines is strictly restricted to adults aged 21 years and older. This is not a guideline — it is a legal requirement, and pg65 enforces it without exception.

Every pg65 account is subject to mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification before any withdrawal is processed. During KYC, you will be required to submit a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as your PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's licence, UMID, or SSS/GSIS card — that confirms your identity and date of birth.

Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be permanently closed immediately. All deposits associated with such an account will be refunded in full, and the case will be reported to the relevant authorities as required by PAGCOR regulations.

Parents and guardians in the Philippines are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect a minor has created a pg65 account, contact our support team via live chat immediately.

Mandatory KYC Verification

All players must verify their identity and age before withdrawals are enabled. Accepted documents include PhilSys ID, Philippine passport, driver's licence, UMID, SSS, and GSIS cards.

Account Monitoring

pg65 actively monitors all accounts for behavioural patterns that may indicate underage use. Suspicious accounts are flagged for immediate manual review by our compliance team.

Zero Tolerance Policy

Any confirmed underage account is closed permanently and the incident is reported to PAGCOR. There are no second chances — protecting minors is a non-negotiable priority at pg65.
