Important Notice: Gambling Can Be Addictive

Online gaming and betting are intended for entertainment purposes only. phingo strongly advises all players to set personal limits, never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and seek help immediately if gaming is negatively affecting your life, relationships, or finances. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to a qualified support service.

phingo Responsible Gaming Tools

phingo gives every Filipino player direct control over their gaming activity. These tools are available 24/7 from your account settings — no waiting, no hassle.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine Peso (PHP) to control how much you fund your phingo account. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — without a mandatory cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. Once your loss limit is reached on phingo, your account will be temporarily restricted from further wagering until the period resets.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration for your phingo gaming sessions. When your time limit is reached, phingo will display a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out to encourage healthy breaks.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets on phingo. This is a great first step if you feel your gaming is getting out of hand.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, phingo offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will not receive any marketing communications from phingo.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality check notifications on phingo that display your session duration and net win/loss position at regular intervals. These gentle reminders help you stay aware of your gaming activity in real time.

How to Self-Exclude on phingo

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available on phingo. If you feel that gaming is no longer fun and is causing harm, we strongly encourage you to use this feature. The process is straightforward and takes effect immediately.

Once self-exclusion is activated, phingo will close your account to all gaming activity, cancel any pending bonuses, and ensure you are removed from all marketing lists. Reactivation requires a mandatory waiting period and a formal review by the phingo responsible gaming team.

Age Verification
Strict 21+ Age Policy

In the Philippines, the minimum legal age for participating in casino-style gambling is 21 years old, as regulated by PAGCOR. phingo strictly enforces this requirement across all gaming products — live casino, slots, bingo, snooker, and American football betting.

All phingo account registrations require identity verification (KYC) to confirm that the applicant is at least 21 years of age. Valid Philippine government-issued IDs accepted include PhilSys National ID, UMID, passport, driver's license, PRC ID, and Voter's ID. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned.

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

21+
You Must Be 21 or Older to Play on phingo

This is not just a phingo policy — it is the law in the Philippines. PAGCOR regulations require all licensed online gaming operators to verify the age of every player before allowing them to deposit or wager real money.

Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

Honest self-assessment is the first step toward responsible gaming. If you answer "yes" to two or more of the following questions, phingo strongly encourages you to use our responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.

Do you find yourself spending more money on gaming than you originally planned?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming activity?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gaming?
Has gaming caused problems with your family, friends, work, or studies?
Do you chase losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have lost?
Do you hide your gaming activity or lie to people close to you about how much you play or spend?

If any of these questions resonate with you, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can activate phingo's self-exclusion tool immediately from your account settings, or contact our 24/7 support team for a confidential conversation about your options.
