Gaming Is Entertainment — Not a Solution

my9games is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. We believe that gaming should always be a form of entertainment — never a way to solve financial problems or escape personal difficulties.

At my9games, we take responsible gaming seriously. Whether you're spinning the slots from Makati, playing live poker in Cebu, or joining a bingo session from Davao, we want every session to be enjoyable and within your means. That's why we've built a comprehensive set of tools and resources to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times.

Problem gambling is a real concern in the Philippines, and my9games is committed to doing its part. We work in alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and the guidelines set out for licensed online gaming operators in the country. Our platform is designed to make it easy — not hard — to set limits, take breaks, and seek help if you ever feel your gaming is getting out of hand.

Remember: the house always has an edge. Gaming at my9games should be treated as paid entertainment, just like going to the cinema or watching a PBA game. Set a budget, stick to it, and enjoy the experience for what it is.

Important: If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, please reach out to our support team immediately. Self-exclusion and account closure are available at no cost and can be activated within minutes.

Strictly 21 and Above — No Exceptions

In accordance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, the my9games platform is strictly restricted to players who are 21 years of age or older. This is not just a policy — it is a legal requirement that we enforce rigorously.

All new accounts are subject to mandatory age verification as part of the KYC process. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds returned, and the matter reported to the appropriate Philippine authorities. If you are a parent or guardian, please use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing the my9games platform.

Responsible Gaming Tools at my9games

Every my9games player has access to a full suite of responsible gaming tools — all free, all available instantly from your account settings. Here's what you can use to stay in control.

1
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine Peso (₱) to make sure you never fund your account beyond what you've budgeted. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period — decreasing one is instant.

2
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing over a set period. When your loss limit is reached, my9games will automatically pause your gaming session for the remainder of that period so you can step back and reassess.

3
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so the platform reminds you — or automatically logs you out — after a defined period of play. It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the zone; this tool keeps you grounded.

4
Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic on-screen notifications that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered during the current session. A quick reality check goes a long way toward keeping gaming fun and manageable.

5
Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your my9games account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to log in or place bets. The cool-off activates immediately.

6
Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to close your my9games account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account cannot be reopened and you will be removed from all marketing communications.

How to activate these tools: Log in to your my9games account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, and select the tool you want to use. All tools are free and take effect immediately or within the timeframe specified. For self-exclusion requests, you may also contact our support team directly at [email protected].

Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to three or more, it may be time to use one of the my9games responsible gaming tools — or to reach out for professional support.

This self-check is not a clinical diagnosis. It is a simple awareness tool to help you reflect on your gaming habits. If you are concerned, please contact a professional counsellor or the support resources listed on this page.

Have you ever spent more money on gaming than you originally planned?
Have you tried to win back money you lost by playing more?
Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming?
Has gaming caused arguments or tension with your family or friends?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not able to play?
Have you missed work, school, or important events because of gaming?
Do you use gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
Have you ever lied to someone about how much time or money you spend on gaming?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. Reach out to the my9games support team or contact a professional counselling service. Getting help early makes a real difference.
