Player Protection Programme

Responsible Gaming at 8c99

Gambling should always be entertainment — nothing more. 8c99 is committed to keeping it that way for every Filipino player on our platform, from Manila to Mindanao.

21+
Minimum Age Requirement

Under PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law, online gambling is strictly restricted to persons aged 21 years and older. 8c99 enforces this rule absolutely — no exceptions. Age verification is required for all registered accounts.

Our Commitment to Filipino Players

At 8c99, responsible gaming isn't a footnote in our terms and conditions — it's built into the platform itself. We understand that for a small number of players, gambling can stop being entertainment and start causing real harm. That's a reality we take seriously, and it's why 8c99 has invested in practical, accessible tools designed specifically to help Filipino players stay in control.

Whether you're a casual player who likes a few rounds of bingo on a Friday night in Cebu, or a sports bettor who follows PBA and NBA closely from Davao, 8c99 wants your experience on our platform to be positive, controlled, and within your means. The moment it starts feeling otherwise, we want you to know exactly what to do — and we make those options easy to find and use.

This page explains the responsible gaming tools available to you on 8c99, the warning signs of problem gambling, how to access support, and what 8c99 does on its end to protect players who may be at risk.

Player Protection Tools

Built into your 8c99 account — use them at any time, no questions asked.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 8c99 account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately for reductions. Increases to a deposit limit require a 24-hour cooling-off period before they take effect — this is by design, to prevent impulsive decisions.

Wagering & Loss Limits

Beyond deposit caps, you can set limits on total wagers placed or total losses sustained within a given period. When a limit is reached, 8c99 will block further bets automatically until the period resets, regardless of your remaining wallet balance.

Session Time Reminders

Set a session time limit on your 8c99 account. When you reach your chosen time, a notification will appear reminding you that your set session duration has passed. It's easy to lose track of time during live casino games or slot sessions — this tool keeps you grounded.

Cool-Off Period

Take a break from 8c99 for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days using the cool-off feature. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in or deposit. Your account and balance are preserved. The cool-off activates immediately upon request and cannot be cancelled mid-period.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a formal, longer-term option for players who need a serious break. You can self-exclude from 8c99 for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended. 8c99 will also use reasonable efforts to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period.

24/7 Support Access

If you need to talk to someone about your gambling, or if you need to activate any of the above tools urgently, the 8c99 support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via live chat and email. No judgement — just help.

How to Set Your Limits on 8c99

Three simple steps — takes less than 2 minutes.

In the account menu, navigate to "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection." Here you'll find all available limit tools — deposit caps, wagering limits, session timers, cool-off, and self-exclusion — all in one place.

3
Set Your Limits and Confirm

Choose the tool you need, enter your desired limit or period, and confirm. Protective limits (reductions, cool-offs, self-exclusion) take effect immediately. Need help? Live chat support is available 24/7 to guide you through the process.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Recognising the signs early is the most important step.

Chasing losses — Feeling compelled to continue playing to recover money you've already lost, rather than accepting the loss and stopping.

Gambling with money you can't afford — Using funds allocated for rent, utilities, food, or your family's needs to fund gambling sessions at 8c99 or elsewhere.

Hiding your gambling — Concealing the amount of time or money you spend gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.

Difficulty stopping — Repeatedly attempting to reduce or stop gambling but finding it difficult or impossible to follow through.

Neglecting responsibilities — Missing work, family commitments, or social obligations because of gambling activity.

Borrowing to gamble — Taking out loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit to fund gambling.
