th88 | Responsible Gaming —
Play Smart, Stay in Control

Gaming on th88 is meant to be enjoyable — not stressful. This page explains the tools available to help you manage your play, recognise the signs that something is off, and take action when needed. It is here for every Filipino player who uses th88, whether you are playing once a week or every day.

21+

th88 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Online gaming involves real financial risk. There is no guaranteed win in any game on the platform. Always play within a budget you are comfortable losing, and treat gaming as entertainment — not income.

th88 Responsible Gaming Tools

Every registered th88 player has access to these tools. You do not need to be in trouble to use them — they are for anyone who wants more control over how they play.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your th88 account within a chosen period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. You can lower the limit at any time.

Session Reminders

Set a time reminder that notifies you when you have been playing for a set duration. The reminder appears on screen so you can decide whether to continue or take a break. Long uninterrupted sessions are one of the more common signs of unhealthy gaming patterns.

Cooling-Off Period

Request a short account pause of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days when you feel you need a break. During this period your account is restricted from play and deposits. The cooling-off cannot be removed early once activated.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming has become a serious problem, you can request self-exclusion — a longer-term restriction on your account that prevents all play and deposits for a set period of your choosing. Contact th88 support through live chat to activate this.

KYC Age Verification

Every th88 account requires identity verification before withdrawals are processed. This KYC process also confirms that the account holder is at least 21 years old. Accounts that fail to verify will not be permitted to withdraw funds.

24/7 Support Access

th88 live chat support is available around the clock. If you need to activate any responsible gaming tool, discuss a concern about your account, or simply want to talk through your options, support is always available — no appointment needed.

Online Gaming Is Entertainment

th88 offers sports betting, live casino, fish games, slots, eBingo, and online poker — and the common thread across all of them is that they are games of chance. No matter how experienced a player is, no strategy removes the risk of losing money. This applies equally whether you are betting on a PBA game in Manila, playing live Baccarat from Cebu, or running a fish game session from Davao.

The best way to approach online gaming is to treat it the same way you would treat a night out or any other form of paid entertainment. Decide in advance what you are comfortable spending, and once that amount is gone, stop for the session. The games will still be there next time.

Never gamble with money set aside for rent, bills, food, or other essentials. If you find yourself thinking about how to make back what you have lost, that is a signal to stop and step back.

Signs That Gaming May Be Becoming a Problem

Problem gambling does not always feel obvious from the inside. It tends to develop gradually. The following signs are worth taking seriously if you recognise them in your own habits:

Spending more than you planned on games, repeatedly
Chasing losses — continuing to play to try to recover what you have already lost
Thinking about gaming constantly, including when you are at work, with family, or trying to sleep
Feeling irritable or restless when you are unable to play
Borrowing money or selling things to fund gaming
Hiding how much you play or spend from family members or close friends
Neglecting responsibilities, work, or personal relationships because of gaming
Feeling a need to bet higher amounts to get the same level of excitement

If three or more of these sound familiar, it is worth taking a break from gaming and speaking with someone you trust. You can also contact th88 support to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion while you decide what to do next.

Practical Tips for Staying in Control

Set a budget before you start

Decide how much you are going to spend before you open a game. Use th88's deposit limit feature to enforce that budget at the account level, so the decision is made when you are thinking clearly — not in the middle of a session.

Set a time limit for each session

Use th88's session reminder tool to get a notification after a set amount of time. Playing for long periods without breaks is one of the patterns associated with unhealthy gaming habits, even if your spending stays within budget.

Stop when you hit your limit — win or lose

Set a stop point in both directions. If you reach your spending limit, stop. If you win a meaningful amount, consider stopping there too — continuing after a win is how many players end up losing what they gained.

Keep gaming separate from other areas of your life

Gaming on th88 should not take time away from family, work, or personal commitments. If you find yourself making excuses to your family or skipping responsibilities to play, that is worth paying attention to.

Do not chase losses

Trying to win back money you have already lost is one of the most common patterns in problem gambling. The outcome of every game is independent — past losses do not change the odds of the next round. If you are playing to recover money, stop for the day.

How to Activate th88 Responsible Gaming Tools

All responsible gaming tools at th88 are activated through your account settings or via live chat support. Here is how to access the main ones:

  • Deposit limits — available in your account dashboard under account settings. You can set or lower a limit at any time. Increases to a limit may take effect after a short review period.
  • Session reminders — set up in your account preferences. Choose the session duration that triggers your reminder notification.
  • Cooling-off period — contact th88 live chat support and request a specific duration. This takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed early.
  • Self-exclusion — contact th88 live chat support directly. Self-exclusion is a longer-term option intended for players who believe their gaming has become a serious concern. During self-exclusion, your account will not accept deposits or allow play for the agreed period.

These tools are free, always available, and there is no penalty for using them. th88 will not contact you with promotional messages to return to gaming while a cooling-off or self-exclusion period is active.

Quick Self-Check

Reflect honestly on these questions. If several of them apply to you, consider speaking with someone or using a th88 responsible gaming tool.

1
Have you spent more on gaming than you intended this week?
2
Have you borrowed money specifically to play on th88 or any other platform?
3
Do you feel anxious or irritable when you are unable to play?
4
Have you played to try to win back money you lost in a previous session?
5
Have you hidden how much you play or spend from someone close to you?
6
Has gaming affected your work, studies, or relationships negatively?
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, consider activating a cooling-off period or contacting th88 support to talk through your options.

21+ Reminder

th88 is for adults aged 21 and above only. If you know someone under 21 who is using the platform, please report it to th88 support immediately.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Common questions from th88 players about responsible gaming tools, self-exclusion, and how to get support.

Deposit limits are available through your th88 account settings once you are logged in. You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit in Philippine Pesos (PHP). The limit takes effect immediately when set. You can lower your limit at any time, but increases may take a short period to process to give you time to reconsider the change.

A cooling-off period is a short account pause — typically 24 hours to 7 days — intended for players who want a temporary break. It is useful when you feel like you need a reset without committing to a longer break. Self-exclusion is a more serious and longer-term restriction, intended for players who feel their gaming has become harmful. Both prevent all play and deposits during the active period, and neither can be reversed early once activated. Contact th88 live chat support to activate either option.

No. Once a cooling-off period or self-exclusion is active on your account, th88 will not send you promotional messages, bonus offers, or any communications encouraging you to return to gaming. The purpose of these tools is to give you space, and we respect that.

If you are concerned about a family member's gaming habits, the most direct step is to have an open and non-judgmental conversation with them about what you are seeing. Encouraging them to use th88's responsible gaming tools — or to take a break from gaming entirely — is a reasonable starting point. If they are a th88 account holder, they can contact support at any time to activate a cooling-off or self-exclusion. If the situation feels serious, encourage them to seek guidance from a professional counsellor or support service in the Philippines.

Yes. th88 is strictly for players aged 21 years or older. Identity verification (KYC) is required before withdrawals are processed, and part of that verification confirms the account holder's age. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be closed immediately and any balance will be reviewed in line with th88's Terms & Conditions.

Yes. th88 reserves the right to impose account restrictions — including temporary or permanent play limits — on players who show clear signs of problem gambling, even in the absence of a voluntary request. This is a measure of last resort and is done out of a genuine commitment to player welfare. If your account has been restricted for this reason and you want to discuss it, please contact th88 support directly.
