88bon Responsible Gaming
At 88bon, we believe gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress or financial hardship. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control and enjoy the experience safely.
Gaming is Entertainment,
Not a Financial Plan
88bon takes responsible gaming seriously. Whether you're spinning slots, playing live bingo, or betting on your favorite PBA team, the goal is always to have a good time — within your means and within your limits.
Problem gambling is a real concern, and 88bon is here to help. We've built a full suite of player protection tools directly into your account settings, so you can set limits, take breaks, or step away entirely — whenever you need to. No judgment, no hassle.
Our responsible gaming framework is designed with Filipino players in mind — from Manila to Mindanao. We understand that life gets complicated sometimes, and we want 88bon to be a place where you can unwind, not a place that adds to your worries.
Age Restriction: The 88bon platform is strictly for players aged 21 years and older. This is the minimum legal age for casino-style gambling in the Philippines. We verify age during registration and reserve the right to request documentary proof at any time. Underage accounts will be permanently closed.
Take Control of Your Gaming
88bon gives you real tools to manage how you play. These features are available directly in your account settings — no need to call support or wait for approval.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PHP you can deposit into your 88bon account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration so 88bon will automatically log you out after a chosen period — whether that's 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. A reminder notification appears 5 minutes before your session ends so you're never caught off guard.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount in PHP you're comfortable losing within a set period. When your loss limit is reached, 88bon will prevent further wagering until the limit period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming within budget.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in your current session. These gentle nudges help you stay aware of your activity without interrupting the fun unnecessarily.
Cool-Off Period
Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account and balance are preserved and fully restored when the period ends.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, 88bon's self-exclusion tool lets you close your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked and you will be removed from all marketing communications. Contact support to activate this at any time.
How to Access These Tools: Log in to your 88bon account, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, and you'll find all of the above tools in one place. Changes to limits that increase your exposure (e.g., raising a deposit limit) require a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before taking effect — this is intentional and for your protection.
Is Your Gaming Still Fun?
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often hard to recognize from the inside. Here are some honest questions to ask yourself. If several of these sound familiar, it may be time to use one of 88bon's player protection tools or seek outside support.
Do you find yourself spending more money on 88bon than you originally planned, or chasing losses to try to win back what you've lost?
Have you borrowed money, sold belongings, or used funds meant for bills, rent, or family needs in order to gamble?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not able to play, or do you use gambling to escape stress or negative emotions?
Have family members, friends, or colleagues expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult or impossible to follow through?
Do you hide your gambling activity from the people close to you, or feel guilt or shame after a gaming session?
If you answered yes to two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to use 88bon's self-exclusion or cool-off tools, and to reach out to a professional support service. There is no shame in asking for help — it's the smart move.
Tips for Playing Smart
Follow these simple guidelines to keep your 88bon experience enjoyable and sustainable.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance how much PHP you're comfortable spending — and treat it like an entertainment expense, not an investment. Use 88bon's deposit limit tool to enforce this automatically.
Never Chase Your Losses
Losing streaks are a normal part of gaming. Trying to win back losses by betting more is one of the most common paths to problem gambling. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment and move on.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly. Use 88bon's session time limit feature to build breaks into your play automatically. A short break helps you stay clear-headed and in control.
Keep Gaming in Balance
Gaming should be one of many leisure activities in your life — not the main one. Make sure you're also spending time with family, friends, and other hobbies you enjoy.
Don't Play Under Pressure
Avoid gaming when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states can cloud judgment and lead to decisions you'd normally avoid.
How to Self-Exclude on 88bon
Requesting self-exclusion is straightforward. Here's how to do it in three simple steps.
Log In to Your Account
Access your 88bon account via the login page. Navigate to Account Settings in the top-right menu.
Open Responsible Gaming
Select the Responsible Gaming tab. Choose Self-Exclusion and select your preferred exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent.
Confirm & Done
Confirm your request. Your account will be locked immediately. You'll receive a confirmation email at your registered address. Contact support if you need assistance at any point.
Prefer to speak to someone directly? You can also request self-exclusion by emailing [email protected] from your registered email address. Our support team is available 8:00 AM – 12:00 MN PHT, seven days a week, and will process your request promptly.
88bon's Player-First Approach
Responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox for us — it's built into how 88bon operates from the ground up.
Strict Age Verification
Every 88bon account goes through a mandatory age and identity verification process. We require valid Philippine government-issued ID to confirm that all players are 21 years of age or older before they can deposit or play.
Behavioral Monitoring
88bon's platform monitors player activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling — such as sudden increases in deposit frequency, extended session lengths, or repeated loss-chasing behavior. Our team may proactively reach out if we notice concerning patterns.
Trained Support Staff
Our customer support team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with sensitivity and discretion. If you reach out about a gambling concern, you'll be treated with respect and connected to the right resources — not pressured to keep playing.
Marketing Opt-Out
Players who activate a cool-off period or self-exclusion are automatically removed from all 88bon promotional communications — no bonus emails, no SMS offers, no push notifications. You can also opt out of marketing at any time from your account settings.
No Credit Gambling
88bon does not offer credit facilities or allow players to gamble on borrowed funds through our platform. All play must be funded from your own deposited balance. This is a deliberate policy to protect players from accumulating gambling-related debt.
Full Transaction History
Your complete deposit, withdrawal, and wagering history is always available in your 88bon account. Reviewing your history regularly is a healthy habit that helps you stay aware of your actual spending and make informed decisions about your gaming activity.
You Don't Have to Face This Alone
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available. 88bon encourages all players to reach out to qualified support services.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a responsible gaming program that provides resources, guidance, and support for Filipino players affected by problem gambling. PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework sets the standard for player protection in the Philippines.
Contact PAGCOR directly through their official government channels for responsible gaming assistance and self-exclusion registry information.
National Center for Mental Health
The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in the Philippines provides mental health services and can connect individuals with counselors experienced in behavioral addictions, including problem gambling. Their crisis hotline is available to Filipinos nationwide.
NCMH Crisis Hotline: 1553 (available 24/7 for mental health concerns)
Gamblers Anonymous Philippines
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling problem. Meetings are held across Metro Manila and other major cities including Cebu and Davao.
Reach out through local community health centers or social welfare offices for meeting schedules near you.
