Player Protection

Responsible Gaming at gogame

At gogame, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. Our responsible gaming program gives every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.

⚠️ Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

Important Notice for All gogame Players

Gambling is a form of entertainment — not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. The gogame platform is strictly for players aged 21 years and above, in compliance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, your relationships, or your finances, please use the tools on this page or contact our support team immediately. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying casino games, slots, bingo, and sports betting as a leisure activity — with full awareness of the risks involved and clear personal boundaries in place. At gogame, we take this seriously. We're not just saying it for compliance — we genuinely want every player from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City, to have a safe and enjoyable experience on our platform.

Responsible gaming at gogame covers three core areas: player education (understanding the odds and the nature of gambling), player tools (practical controls you can set on your account), and player support (access to help when things get difficult). All three are available to every registered gogame player, free of charge, at any time.

The Reality of Gambling

Every game on the gogame platform — whether it's a slot, a live casino table, a bingo room, or a sports bet — is designed with a built-in house edge. This means that over time, the platform will always retain a portion of total wagers. Winning is possible and happens regularly, but it is never guaranteed. No strategy, system, or "hot streak" changes the fundamental mathematics of gambling.

Understanding this is the first step toward responsible gaming. When you play on gogame, you should only ever wager money you can genuinely afford to lose — treat it the same way you'd treat spending on a movie, a meal out, or a concert ticket. It's entertainment with a cost, and that cost should always be within your personal budget.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to recognise in yourself. gogame encourages all players to regularly check in with their own gaming habits. Some warning signs to watch out for:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you originally planned;
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've lost;
  • Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses;
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not gambling;
  • Hiding your gambling activity from family members or friends;
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling;
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling;
  • Feeling that you need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to get the same excitement.

If any of these sound familiar, please reach out to gogame support or use the self-exclusion tool described below. You are not alone, and help is available.

21+

Strictly 21 and Above

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino-style gambling is restricted to persons aged 21 years and above. gogame enforces this through mandatory age verification at registration. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds handled in accordance with PAGCOR rules.

Quick Self-Check: Is Your Gaming Still Fun?
Do you set a budget before you start playing and stick to it?
Can you stop playing whenever you want, without feeling compelled to continue?
Do you only gamble with money you can afford to lose?
Is gambling just one of several leisure activities you enjoy?
Are your family and friends unaffected by your gambling habits?

If you answered No to any of the above, consider using gogame's responsible gaming tools or speaking with a support professional.

gogame Player Protection Tools

Every gogame account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls — available 24/7 in your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your gogame account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but increases take 7 days to take effect — giving you time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing in a given period. When your loss limit is reached, gogame will automatically prevent further play until the limit period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing chasing behaviour.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, gogame will display a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. Time limits help prevent the "just one more game" cycle that can lead to extended unplanned play sessions.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your gogame account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, you cannot log in or make deposits. The period cannot be shortened once activated.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer-term break option, available for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Once activated, your account is fully suspended and cannot be reopened during the exclusion period — no exceptions. This is gogame's strongest player protection tool.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session. Reality checks are a simple but powerful way to stay aware of your gaming activity in real time.

All responsible gaming tools are available directly in your gogame account settings panel after login. You can also request activation of any tool — including self-exclusion — by contacting gogame support at [email protected]. Self-exclusion requests submitted via support are processed within 24 hours.

How to Self-Exclude on gogame

Activating self-exclusion on gogame is straightforward. Once you make the decision to take a break, we make it as easy as possible to follow through. Here's how the process works:

  • 1 Log in to your gogame account and navigate to Account Settings from the top menu.
  • 2 Select Responsible Gaming from the settings menu to access all player protection tools.
  • 3 Click Self-Exclusion and choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent.
  • 4 Confirm your selection. Your account will be suspended immediately and you will receive a confirmation email.
  • 5 During the exclusion period, gogame will also suppress any marketing communications to your registered email and phone number.
  • 6 After the exclusion period ends, a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period applies before your account can be reactivated — giving you time to reflect.

Self-exclusion cannot be reversed or shortened once activated. If you attempt to create a new gogame account during an active self-exclusion period, that account will be closed and any deposits returned. Please take this tool seriously — it is designed to protect you.

Our Commitment to You

gogame's responsible gaming program is not just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. As a PAGCOR-regulated platform serving Filipino players across the country, we are held to strict standards of player protection, and we go beyond the minimum requirements because we genuinely care about our community.

Staff Training

All gogame customer support staff receive regular training on identifying signs of problem gambling and on how to sensitively direct players toward appropriate help and tools. Our team is here to support you, not just to resolve technical issues.

Marketing Responsibility

gogame does not target marketing at players who have activated responsible gaming tools, are in a cooling-off period, or have self-excluded. We also do not use aggressive bonus structures designed to encourage excessive play. All promotions include clear terms and wagering requirements.

Underage Gambling Prevention

Every new gogame account undergoes age verification before any real-money play is permitted. Players must be 21 years of age or older. If you share a device with younger family members, please ensure your gogame account is protected with a strong password and that you log out after every session.

gogame is regulated by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation). Our responsible gaming practices are subject to regular PAGCOR review and audit. Player protection is a regulatory requirement — and a personal commitment from everyone at gogame.

Play Smart, Play Safe

Six golden rules every gogame player should keep in mind every time they log in.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you open the gogame app. Treat it like a budget for any other form of entertainment — once it's gone, the session is over. Never dip into savings, rent money, or funds earmarked for bills.

Never Chase Your Losses

Chasing losses is one of the most common and dangerous gambling behaviours. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, log out and step away. Tomorrow is another day — and the games will still be there when you're ready to play responsibly again.

Keep It Fun

The moment gambling stops being fun and starts feeling like an obligation or a source of stress, it's time to take a break. gogame's cooling-off and self-exclusion tools are there for exactly this situation — use them without hesitation.

Take Regular Breaks

Long, uninterrupted gaming sessions can cloud your judgment and lead to impulsive decisions. Enable gogame's session time reminders and make a habit of stepping away every hour — grab a snack, stretch, or chat with family.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If you're worried about your gambling habits, talking to a trusted friend, family member, or professional counsellor can make a real difference. You don't have to deal with it alone — and reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Review Your Gaming History

gogame provides a full transaction and gaming history in your account dashboard. Regularly reviewing how much time and money you've spent is a healthy habit that keeps you honest with yourself and helps you spot patterns early.
