Our Commitment

What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online casino games, slots, bingo, keno, fishing games, and sports betting as a form of entertainment—not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. At 22phmaya, we recognize that while most Filipino players gamble responsibly, some may develop unhealthy patterns that can lead to problem gambling.

Problem gambling, also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, is a behavioral disorder characterized by an inability to control gambling impulses despite negative consequences. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. The good news is that problem gambling is treatable, and early intervention can make a significant difference.

Our responsible gaming program is designed to help you stay in control by providing tools to set limits, recognize warning signs, and access support when needed. We believe that informed players are empowered players, and we're committed to creating a safe gaming environment for all Filipino users in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and across the Philippines.

Important Notes

Limit Adjustment Policy

To protect players from impulsive decisions, 22phmaya enforces the following policies for limit adjustments:

  • Decreasing Limits: Takes effect immediately. You can lower your limits at any time without delay.
  • Increasing Limits: Subject to a 24-hour cooling-off period. Requests to increase limits will be processed after 24 hours to prevent impulsive decisions.
  • Removing Limits: Subject to a 7-day cooling-off period. This ensures you have time to reconsider before removing protective measures.
  • Self-Exclusion: Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period expires. This is a firm commitment to help you stay away from gambling.
Pro Tip: Set your limits before you start playing, not after you've already been gambling. This helps you make rational decisions based on your budget and time availability, not on emotions or losses.

Best Practices

Tips for Responsible Gaming

Set a Budget

Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing, and stick to that budget. Never gamble with money you need for bills or essentials.

Set Time Limits

Decide in advance how long you'll play and set a timer. Take regular breaks and don't let gambling interfere with work, family, or sleep.

Never Chase Losses

Accept losses as part of the game. Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more is a dangerous pattern that leads to bigger losses.

Gamble for Fun

Treat gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money. If you're not having fun, it's time to stop.

Don't Gamble Under Influence

Avoid gambling when you're drinking alcohol, using drugs, or feeling emotional. These states impair judgment and lead to poor decisions.

Balance with Other Activities

Make sure gambling doesn't replace other hobbies, social activities, or time with family and friends. Maintain a balanced lifestyle.

Use Separate Funds

Keep your gambling funds separate from your everyday money. Use a dedicated e-wallet like GCash or PayMaya for gaming only.

Know When to Stop

If you're feeling stressed, frustrated, or chasing losses, it's time to take a break. Walk away and come back another day.
