At deskgame, we believe that gaming should always be a fun and safe experience for every Filipino player. We are committed to providing tools, information, and support to help you keep your play enjoyable and within healthy limits. If you ever feel that gaming is affecting your daily life, this page is here to help you take action early.
We give every Filipino player practical options to manage their gaming activity at any time.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap so your spending stays within a budget you are comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered right away — increases require a cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Receive an on-screen reminder after a set period of play so you are always aware of how long you have been active. Taking regular breaks keeps gaming enjoyable and prevents fatigue-driven decisions that you may later regret.
If you need a short pause from gaming, you can place your account on a temporary break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period you will not be able to log in or place any bets, giving you space to reset and reflect.
For players who feel they need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum of six months. Once activated, this cannot be reversed during the exclusion period, and we will not send you any promotional communications while it is in effect.
Review your full betting and deposit history at any time from your account dashboard. Keeping track of your activity is one of the simplest and most effective ways to stay aware of your gaming habits and spot any patterns early.
Our support team is available to help you activate any responsible gaming tool or discuss your options. You can also find answers to common questions in our FAQ section at any time without needing to contact us directly.
Gaming is meant to be a source of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial pressure. Recognising the early warning signs of problem gambling is the first step towards getting things back on track. The following are common indicators that your relationship with gaming may need attention.
If you recognise any of the signs above in yourself or someone you care about, please do not hesitate to reach out for support. Help is available in the Philippines and you do not have to face this alone. The following organisations provide free, confidential assistance to people affected by problem gambling.
The NCMH Crisis Hotline operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and provides free mental health support to anyone in the Philippines who needs it. You can reach them at 1553 (toll-free from any landline or mobile network in the Philippines).
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) runs a dedicated responsible gaming programme that includes player education, self-exclusion registries, and referrals to counselling services across the country.
Gamblers Anonymous offers peer support meetings and a 12-step recovery programme for individuals struggling with compulsive gambling. Their community-based approach has helped many Filipinos regain control of their lives and finances.
deskgame is an entertainment platform intended exclusively for players who are 18 years of age or older. We take our obligation to prevent underage access very seriously, and age verification is a required step during the registration process for all new accounts. No player under the legal age will be permitted to deposit funds, place bets, or access any real-money features on the platform.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly encourage you to use device-level parental controls and to keep your login credentials private at all times. Never share your username or password with anyone, including minors in your household. If you suspect that a minor has accessed a gaming account, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Parents and guardians in the Philippines can also make use of third-party parental control software to restrict access to gaming websites on shared devices. Protecting young people from exposure to gambling content is a shared responsibility, and we are committed to doing our part on the platform side.
If you have questions about responsible gaming tools or want to learn more about how to manage your account safely, our FAQ page covers the most common topics in detail. You can also create a free account and access all responsible gaming settings directly from your profile dashboard after you register.
