Our Commitment to You

phsaya takes responsible gaming seriously. Here are the core pillars of our player protection program, designed specifically for the Filipino gaming community.

Self-Exclusion Program

Need a break? phsaya's self-exclusion tool lets you voluntarily suspend your account for a set period — 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or permanently. Once activated, you cannot reverse it until the period ends. Your wellbeing comes first.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your phsaya account to keep your spending in check. Limits take effect immediately when lowered. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

phsaya lets you set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, you'll receive a notification and be automatically logged out. It's a simple but powerful way to stay aware of how long you've been playing.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach your limit, phsaya will automatically prevent further play until the period resets. This tool is especially helpful for players who want to stay within a strict budget.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. These reality checks help you stay grounded and make informed decisions about whether to continue or take a break.

24/7 Support

phsaya's Filipino support team is available around the clock via live chat. If you're concerned about your gambling habits or those of someone you know, our trained agents can guide you to the right resources and tools — walang judgment.

Know the Warning Signs

Gambling is meant to be a fun pastime — a bit of excitement after a long week, a way to enjoy your favorite games from the comfort of your home in Manila, Cebu, or Davao. But for some players, it can become more than just entertainment. Knowing the warning signs early is the first step to getting help.

Ask Yourself Honestly

Do you find yourself gambling with money meant for rent, bills, or daily expenses like groceries?

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling?

Have you tried to win back money you've lost by gambling more — also known as "chasing losses"?

Do you hide your gambling activity from family members, friends, or your asawa?

Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or financial situation?

Do you feel the need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?

If you answered yes to two or more of the above questions, we strongly encourage you to use phsaya's self-exclusion tool and reach out to a professional support service. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

Our Player Tools

phsaya provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools accessible directly from your account settings. All tools are free to use and take effect immediately when restrictions are tightened.

Self-Exclusion

Temporarily or permanently suspend your phsaya account. Available for periods of 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, or indefinitely. Contact phsaya support via live chat to activate.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Set maximum deposit and loss amounts in Philippine Peso (PHP) per day, week, or month. Reductions apply instantly; increases require a 7-day waiting period.

Session & Wager Limits

Control how long you play and how much you wager per session. phsaya will notify you when you approach your set limits and log you out automatically when reached.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from phsaya without fully self-excluding. Cool-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days are available. During a cool-off, you cannot log in or place bets.

Account Activity History

Review your full gaming history, including all deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and session durations. Transparency in your own activity is a key part of responsible gaming.

21+ Age Verification Policy

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino gambling is strictly restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. phsaya enforces this requirement rigorously through a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process for all new accounts.

All players must submit a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's license, UMID, SSS ID, or voter's ID — before making their first deposit or withdrawal. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a player aged 21 or above will be permanently closed and any funds returned.

phsaya also encourages parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you suspect that a minor has registered a phsaya account, please contact our support team immediately.

Underage gambling is illegal in the Philippines. phsaya takes a zero-tolerance approach to underage gambling. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and reported to the relevant authorities.

21+
Age Restriction

phsaya strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement in compliance with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law. No exceptions.

Need Help?

You are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, phsaya encourages you to reach out to professional support services. Huwag mahiyang humingi ng tulong.

phsaya Live Support

Our trained support agents are available 24/7 via live chat on the phsaya platform. They can help you activate responsible gaming tools, discuss your concerns, and connect you with further resources — in both English and Filipino.

PAGCOR Player Protection

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming standards for all licensed operators in the Philippines. Players can contact PAGCOR directly for guidance on problem gambling and self-exclusion from all PAGCOR-regulated platforms.

Mental Health Support

The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in the Philippines provides free mental health services, including support for behavioral addictions like problem gambling. If gambling is affecting your mental health, please reach out to a qualified professional.

Talk to Someone You Trust

Sometimes the best first step is an honest conversation with a family member, close friend, or spiritual adviser. Problem gambling thrives in secrecy — opening up to someone you trust in your community, whether in Quezon City, Makati, or anywhere in the Philippines, can make a real difference.

Self-Assessment Tools

phsaya provides access to self-assessment questionnaires within your account dashboard to help you evaluate your gambling habits objectively. These tools are confidential and designed to help you make informed decisions about your gaming activity.

The phsaya Responsible Gaming Pledge

phsaya pledges to maintain a gaming environment that is safe, fair, and transparent for every Filipino player on our platform. We commit to the following principles:

  • We will never market our services to individuals under 21 years of age.
  • We will provide free and accessible responsible gaming tools to all registered players at all times.
  • We will honor all self-exclusion requests promptly and without question.
  • We will train our support staff to recognize and respond sensitively to signs of problem gambling.
  • We will never pressure a player to continue gambling or to reverse a responsible gaming restriction.
  • We will cooperate fully with PAGCOR and other Philippine regulatory authorities on responsible gaming initiatives.
  • We will continuously improve our responsible gaming program based on player feedback and industry best practices.
