At GGPoker, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your means. This page outlines the tools and resources available to every Filipino player who wants to keep their experience healthy and enjoyable.
GGPoker is committed to providing a gaming environment thatprioritises the wellbeing of every Filipino player above all else. We understand that for most people, gaming is a form of entertainment — and we want to make sure it stays that way. Our platform is designed with built-in safeguards that give you full control over how you play, how much you spend, and how long you stay on the platform. We work in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations to ensure that all responsible gaming tools are accessible, easy to use, and genuinely effective. If you ever feel that your gaming habits are becoming a concern, we encourage you to use the tools on this page or reach out to our support team immediately.
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your GGPoker account to keep your spending within a budget that works for you. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period. This tool is especially useful for Filipino players who want to enjoy the platform without the risk of overspending. You can adjust your deposit limits at any time through your account settings. Lowering your limit takes effect right away, while requests to raise it are subject to a review period to protect your interests.
GGPoker allows you to set session time reminders so you always know how long you have been playing. When your chosen time limit is reached, you will receive a clear notification prompting you to take a break or end your session. Keeping track of time is one of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming. We recommend all Filipino players set a session reminder, especially during longer gaming sessions on weekends or holidays. This feature is available in your account settings and can be updated at any time to suit your schedule.
If you feel you need a short pause from gaming, the Take a Break feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this period, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access any real-money features on the platform. This is a voluntary tool designed to give you space to reset without permanently closing your account. All your account data and balance are safely preserved during the break period. When the break ends, you can resume playing at your own pace with no penalties or restrictions applied.
For players who feel they need a longer or more permanent break, GGPoker offers a self-exclusion option that closes your account for a minimum of six months or permanently, depending on your preference. Once self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period — this is intentional, to give you the strongest possible protection. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to ensure your account is restricted without delay. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed and your personal data handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We strongly encourage any player who feels their gaming is out of control to use this tool without hesitation.
Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is the first step toward getting help. GGPoker encourages all Filipino players to check in with themselves regularly and be honest about their gaming habits. The following signs may indicate that gaming is having a negative impact on your life.
Continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost is one of the most common warning signs of problem gambling. If you find yourself increasing your bets after a losing streak, it is time to step back and reassess.
Using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or other essential expenses to fund gaming sessions is a serious warning sign. Gaming should only ever be funded from disposable income that you can genuinely afford to lose.
If gaming is causing you to spend less time with family and friends, or if loved ones have expressed concern about your habits, this is a clear signal that your gaming may be becoming unhealthy. Social connections are important — do not let gaming replace them.
Using gaming as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or other personal difficulties can quickly lead to dependency. If you notice that you turn to gaming whenever you feel low or overwhelmed, please consider speaking to a professional counsellor.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, you do not have to face it alone. GGPoker encourages all players in the Philippines to reach out to the following support resources. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and these organisations are equipped to provide confidential, professional assistance.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provides a dedicated helpline for players who need guidance on responsible gaming and problem gambling support within the Philippines.

GGPoker strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years old for all players in the Philippines, in line with local gaming regulations. During the registration process, all new accounts are subject to identity verification to confirm that the applicant meets the minimum age requirement. We use secure, third-party verification services to cross-check government-issued identification documents submitted by players. Any account found to belong to an underage individual will be immediately suspended and all funds returned in accordance with our terms. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor has registered on GGPoker, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and act swiftly.
Responsible gaming is not just a policy at GGPoker — it is a core part of how we operate for every Filipino player on our platform. Use our tools, know your limits, and enjoy the game the way it was meant to be enjoyed: as entertainment. If you have questions about any of the tools or resources on this page, our FAQ section has detailed answers ready for you.
