Player Protection

Responsible Gaming

At gb888, we believe gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress or financial hardship. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.

21+ Only — Strict Age Verification Required

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

For most players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines, online gaming at gb888 is a fun and exciting pastime — a way to unwind, enjoy some friendly competition, and maybe win a little extra. And that's exactly what it should be.

But gb888 also knows that for some players, gambling can become a problem. Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. That's why responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox for us. It's a core part of how gb888 operates every single day.

We've built a full suite of player protection tools directly into the gb888 platform, and our support team is available 24/7 to help any player who needs assistance. Whether you want to set a deposit limit, take a short break, or permanently self-exclude, gb888 makes it easy to stay in control.

Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

  • Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
  • Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you've lost
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling
  • Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling on your own

gb888 Player Protection Tools

Built-in tools to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your gb888 account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 7-day cooling-off period.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that gb888 will automatically log you out after a set period of continuous play. You can also enable on-screen reminders that pop up at regular intervals to let you know how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary self-exclusion (from 24 hours up to 6 months) or a permanent self-exclusion that closes your gb888 account indefinitely. During self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or receive any marketing communications from gb888.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality check notifications that display your current session duration, total bets placed, and net gaming result. These on-screen prompts help you stay aware of your activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue playing.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming without permanently closing your account. A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to log in and deposit for a period of your choosing — from 1 day to 6 weeks. This is a great option if you feel you need a short pause.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold for a given day, week, or month. Once your net losses reach the limit you've set, gb888 will prevent further play until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to keep their gaming within a strict budget.

All responsible gaming tools can be activated instantly via your account settings or by contacting gb888 live chat support 24/7.

Do you gamble with money you need for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?
Have you ever lied to a family member or friend about how much you gamble?
Do you feel the need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same excitement?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible?
Do you gamble to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings?
After losing, do you feel a strong urge to return and win back your losses?
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or finances?

21+
Minimum Age Requirement
Philippine PAGCOR Regulation

Strict 21+ Age Policy

In the Philippines, the minimum legal age for participating in casino-style gambling is 21 years old, as mandated by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation). gb888 strictly enforces this requirement and takes underage gambling very seriously.

Every player who registers on gb888 is required to verify their age and identity before they can make a deposit or play any real-money games. We use a combination of document verification (government-issued Philippine ID, passport, or driver's licence) and third-party identity verification services to confirm that all players meet the 21+ requirement.

If gb888 discovers that a player is under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter will be reported to the relevant authorities in accordance with PAGCOR regulations. Any winnings accumulated by an underage player will be forfeited.

Protecting Young People

If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites. gb888 also recommends keeping your account credentials private and logging out after every session.
