Tools to Keep You inControl

Simple, practical features designed to help every Filipino player stay on top of their gaming habits.

Deposit Limits

Setting a deposit limit is one of the most effective ways to manage how much you spend on gaming each day, week, or month. On phjoy, you can request a deposit limit that suits your personal budget and financial situation. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period. This gives you a reliable safety net so that your entertainment spending stays within a range you are comfortable with. We encourage all players in the Philippines to set a deposit limit as soon as they register, even if they feel confident about their spending habits.

Session Time Reminders

It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying sports betting or casino-style games on a mobile device. Our session time reminder feature sends you a notification after you have been playing for a set period, prompting you to take a break and check in with yourself. You can customise the reminder interval to match your own preferences, whether that is every 30 minutes, every hour, or longer. Taking regular breaks is a healthy habit that helps you stay refreshed and make clearer decisions during your gaming sessions. We recommend using this feature alongside a deposit limit for the most balanced and enjoyable experience on phjoy.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a longer break from gaming, our self-exclusion option allows you to temporarily or permanently suspend your account. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access any gaming features on the platform. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to ensure your account is restricted without delay. You can choose a self-exclusion period that suits your needs, from a short cooling-off break to a permanent closure if required. If you are unsure which option is right for you, our support team is available to guide you through the process with care and without judgement.

Reality Checks

A reality check is a brief on-screen prompt that appears at regular intervals during your gaming session, showing you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent or won during that time. This feature is designed to keep you grounded and aware of your activity without interrupting the flow of your experience too heavily. Many players find that a quick reality check is all they need to make a conscious decision about whether to continue playing or step away for a while. You can set the frequency of reality checks in your account settings to match your personal preferences. Staying informed about your own activity is one of the simplest and most powerful responsible gaming habits you can build.

Account Cooling-Off

A cooling-off period is a short-term break option for players who want to pause their gaming activity without committing to a full self-exclusion. You can request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days depending on what you feel you need. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to access any gaming features. This option is ideal if you have had a frustrating session and want to step back before making any further decisions about your account. We process cooling-off requests immediately so that the restriction is in place before you have a chance to change your mind in the heat of the moment.

Our dedicated support team is available to assist any player in the Philippines who has questions or concerns about their gaming behaviour.

Know the Signs – Stay Aware

Understanding the early warning signs of problem gambling helps you take action before things become serious.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can comfortably afford.
  • Chasing losses by placing more bets in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling personal belongings to fund your gaming activity.
  • Hiding your gaming activity from friends or family members.
  • Feeling that gaming is no longer fun but something you feel compelled to do.

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Always set a budget before you start playing and stick to it.
  • Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a way to earn money.
  • Take regular breaks and never play when you are tired or upset.
  • Keep track of how much time and money you spend each session.
  • Talk to someone you trust if you feel gaming is becoming a problem.
