Our Commitment

Gaming Should Always Be Fun

At richphil, responsible gaming is not just a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We understand that for most players, online gaming is a form of entertainment, a way to unwind after a long day in Manila traffic or a fun activity to enjoy on weekends. But we also know that for some, gaming can become a problem.

That is why richphil has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives every player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control. From deposit limits and session reminders to full self-exclusion options, richphil puts you in the driver's seat of your own gaming experience.

Our responsible gaming program is aligned with PAGCOR's guidelines and the broader standards of the international responsible gaming community. We work continuously to improve our tools and resources so that richphil remains a platform where Filipinos can play with confidence.

richphil's responsible gaming tools are available to all registered players at no cost. You can access them anytime through your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.

Player Protection Tools

Tools to Keep You in Control

richphil gives every player a full suite of responsible gaming tools — all available directly from your account dashboard, no waiting required.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your richphil account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be 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 richphil will automatically remind you — or log you out — when you have been playing for a set amount of time. This helps prevent the kind of extended play sessions that can lead to poor decision-making.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from richphil at any time. During a self-exclusion period, your account will be suspended, you will not receive any marketing communications, and you will not be able to log in or create a new account.

Cool-Off Periods

Need a short break without committing to full self-exclusion? richphil's cool-off feature lets you pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account is suspended but your data and balance are preserved.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold for a given period. Once you have lost the specified amount, richphil will prevent further play until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming within a budget you are comfortable with.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost in the current session. These reality checks help you stay aware of your gaming activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. The first step to getting help is recognizing the signs. richphil encourages all players to be honest with themselves about their gaming habits.

If you recognize any of the following warning signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use richphil's responsible gaming tools or reach out to a professional support service. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the smart and courageous thing to do.

Experiencing three or more of these warning signs regularly is a strong indicator that gambling may have become a problem. Please reach out for support — richphil's team is here to help, and professional resources are available free of charge in the Philippines.

Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses.

Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.

Hiding your gambling activity from family members, friends, or your partner.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling or when you try to stop.

Spending more time gambling than you originally intended, session after session.

Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or social activities because of gambling.

Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling activity.

Thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next session, reliving past wins, or calculating how to get more funds.

Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling but being unable to follow through.

Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties.

Self-Exclusion

How to Self-Exclude on richphil

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel their gambling is getting out of hand. richphil makes the self-exclusion process straightforward and immediate — no lengthy forms, no waiting periods, no questions asked.

Once a self-exclusion is in place, richphil will take all reasonable steps to ensure you cannot access the platform, including blocking your account, removing you from marketing lists, and flagging your details to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period.

Important: If you choose permanent self-exclusion, this decision cannot be reversed. Temporary exclusions have a minimum period of 30 days. richphil will not lift a self-exclusion early under any circumstances — this is for your protection.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Got questions about richphil's responsible gaming tools and policies? Here are answers to the most common questions from Filipino players. If you don't find what you're looking for, our support team is available 24/7.

All responsible gaming tools on richphil are free to use and can be activated instantly from your account settings. No approval process is required.

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, the minimum age for gambling is 21 years old — higher than in many other countries. This reflects the Philippine government's commitment to protecting young adults from the potential harms of gambling. richphil strictly enforces this requirement through identity verification during registration and ongoing KYC checks. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended.

Log in to your richphil account and navigate to Account Settings, then select Responsible Gaming. From there, you can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine Peso (₱). Your limit takes effect immediately. If you want to lower your limit, the change is instant. If you want to raise your limit, a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period applies before the increase takes effect — this is a deliberate safeguard to prevent impulsive decisions.

No. richphil will not reverse or lift a self-exclusion early under any circumstances. Temporary self-exclusions have a minimum period of 30 days and will only be lifted after the full exclusion period has elapsed and you have submitted a formal request to reinstate your account. Permanent self-exclusions cannot be reversed at all. This strict policy exists to protect players during vulnerable periods — we understand it may feel frustrating in the moment, but it is genuinely for your benefit.

Any remaining balance in your richphil account at the time of self-exclusion will be held securely. You may request a withdrawal of your balance by contacting richphil's support team. Withdrawals during a self-exclusion period are processed to your verified payment method (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, Metrobank, etc.) within the standard processing timeframe. richphil will not withhold funds from a self-excluded player.

richphil cooperates fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming oversight requirements, which may include reporting self-exclusion data to PAGCOR's central exclusion registry. This means that if you self-exclude from richphil, your exclusion may also be recognized by other PAGCOR-licensed operators, providing a broader layer of protection. All data sharing with PAGCOR is conducted in accordance with the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012.

The most honest question to ask yourself is: is gambling causing problems in my life? If you are spending more than you can afford, hiding your gambling from loved ones, chasing losses, or feeling anxious when you are not gambling, these are warning signs worth taking seriously. richphil recommends reviewing the warning signs listed on this page and, if you recognize yourself in three or more of them, reaching out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming hotline or the NCMH crisis line for a confidential conversation with a professional.
