pisogame believes that responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox — it's the foundation of a fair, sustainable, and genuinely enjoyable platform. This page covers everything you need to know about our player protection tools, the 21+ age requirement, self-exclusion options, and where to get help if gambling stops being fun.
Must be at least 21 years old to play on pisogame
For most Filipino players, a session on pisogame is exactly what it's meant to be — a fun way to unwind after a long day at work in Makati or BGC, a bit of excitement during a lazy Sunday in Cebu, or the thrill of a live bingo round with friends online. And for the majority of our 2.4 million registered players, it stays that way.
But pisogame is also realistic. Gambling carries risk. For a minority of players, what starts as casual entertainment can develop into a pattern that causes real harm — financially, emotionally, and socially. That's not something we can ignore, and under our PAGCOR licence, it's not something we're allowed to ignore either.
pisogame's responsible gaming programme is built around three ideas: prevention (making sure the right information is always in front of players before problems develop), player control (giving you the tools to manage your own play without having to ask for permission), and intervention (having a clear path to help when things do go wrong).
All the tools described on this page are available directly from your Account Settings — no need to contact support, no waiting periods for most adjustments, and no judgment. The choice to use them is yours, and we actively encourage every pisogame player to explore them even if you think you don't need them right now.
Under PAGCOR's licensing conditions for casino-category online gaming in the Philippines, pisogame is legally required to restrict access to players who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age. This is not a guideline — it is a hard legal requirement that pisogame enforces without exception.
Every pisogame Account requires KYC identity verification before real-money deposits, bets, or withdrawals are permitted. A valid Philippine government-issued ID — passport, driver's licence, PhilSys national ID, UMID, SSS, or PRC ID — is required to confirm both your identity and your age.
If you suspect underage access: If you know of a minor who is using or attempting to use pisogame, please contact our support team immediately. We take all such reports seriously and are required to report confirmed cases to PAGCOR.
Parents and guardians: We encourage you to use device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. Internet filtering software can add an additional layer of protection beyond pisogame's own age verification process.
All of the following tools are available directly in your Account Settings. No forms to submit, no approval required for most adjustments — you are in control.
Set a cap on how much you can deposit in a day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limits can be reduced immediately, but increases require a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Instant ActivationDefine the maximum amount you're comfortable losing within a set period. When your net losses reach that ceiling, your ability to place further bets is paused until the limit period resets. A practical tool for anyone who wants to maintain strict budget discipline.
Instant ActivationSet an alert to appear after a defined period of continuous play — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom interval. The reminder shows your session duration and net session result, giving you a natural pause to decide whether you want to continue or log off.
CustomisableAt intervals you set yourself, a pop-up appears mid-session showing how long you've been playing and your running win/loss total for that session. These gentle reality checks help you stay grounded in your actual position — not just the excitement of the next spin or hand.
CustomisableTake a temporary break from real-money play — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. Once a cooling-off period is activated, it cannot be reversed before it expires. During a cooling-off, you can still log in to view your account history, but all bets and deposits are blocked.
Irreversible Until ExpiryThe most decisive tool on the platform. Self-exclusion permanently blocks real-money access for a minimum of 6 months — and up to 5 years or permanently. Once activated, it cannot be reversed before the minimum period. Best suited to players who feel they need a firm, long-term boundary.
Minimum 6 MonthsTip: pisogame strongly recommends that every player take five minutes during account setup to activate at least a monthly deposit limit — even a generous one you don't expect to hit. Having a structural safeguard in place means you never have to rely purely on willpower in the heat of a session.
All responsible gaming tools are accessible from your pisogame Account Settings without contacting support. Here's how to find them.
Access your account at pisogame.bio using your registered email address and password. If 2FA is enabled, complete the verification step.
Click your username or avatar in the top-right corner of the screen, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
In the Account Settings menu, click the "Responsible Gaming" tab. This is where all six player protection tools are grouped together in one place.
Select the tool you want to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, session reminder, cooling-off, or self-exclusion — and enter the relevant value or duration. Follow the on-screen confirmation prompts.
Review your selection and confirm. Most reductions take effect immediately. Increases to existing limits require a 24-hour processing delay to ensure the change is deliberate. You'll receive a confirmation email when the change is applied.
If you have difficulty accessing the Responsible Gaming section or need assistance, our 24/7 support team can guide you through the process via live chat from within your account.
Self-exclusion is the strongest protection tool available on pisogame. When you activate it, your account is locked from all real-money play for the duration you select. This is a voluntary, irreversible action during the active period — it cannot be undone by contacting support.
Available self-exclusion durations:
What happens when you self-exclude: Your account is immediately locked. You cannot deposit, bet, or access the game lobby. Any active bonus offers are cancelled. Your real-money balance is preserved and returned to your nominated withdrawal method upon request once the exclusion period has elapsed and re-verification is completed.
pisogame will also remove you from all promotional mailing lists for the duration of the exclusion. If you attempt to register a new account while self-excluded, that account will be detected and suspended. pisogame cross-checks new registrations against its exclusion register as part of the standard KYC process.
Problem gambling rarely arrives all at once — it usually creeps in gradually. The earlier these signs are recognised, the easier it is to address them. Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply.
Returning to play specifically to win back money you've already lost — often increasing your bets to "speed up" the recovery. This cycle is one of the most consistent early warning signs.
Betting with funds set aside for rent, bills, food, or other essentials — or borrowing money specifically to gamble, whether from family, friends, or credit lines.
Thinking about gambling when you're not playing — planning your next session obsessively, feeling restless or irritable when you haven't played recently, or unable to stop thinking about past wins or losses.
Hiding the extent of your gambling from family, friends, or colleagues — lying about how much time or money you're spending, or feeling defensive or secretive about your gaming habits.
Repeatedly deciding to play less — setting your own mental limits — and consistently failing to stick to them despite genuine intent to do so.
Turning to gambling as a way to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, boredom, or difficult personal situations — using it as an emotional escape rather than a source of entertainment.
Answer these questions honestly — they're just for you. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be worth considering one of pisogame's player protection tools or reaching out for support.
Have you ever spent more money gambling than you originally planned in a single session?
Have you ever had to borrow money or sell something to fund your gambling?
Has gambling ever negatively affected your work, studies, or family relationships?
Do you find it difficult to walk away from a session when you're losing?
Have you ever felt the need to hide how much you're gambling from people close to you?
When you win, do you feel a strong urge to immediately reinvest your winnings to win more?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling and found it harder than expected?
Do you use gambling as a way to relieve stress, anxiety, or negative feelings?
If you answered "yes" to 2 or more questions: That's not a cause for panic — it's useful information. Consider activating a deposit or loss limit right now, or reach out to pisogame support to discuss your options. Help is available and confidential.
pisogame actively supports access to responsible gaming resources. If you or someone you care about is struggling with gambling, these organisations provide confidential, professional guidance.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates the Philippines' official responsible gaming programme, which covers all PAGCOR-licensed operators including pisogame. PAGCOR's programme includes a national self-exclusion register that, once a player is enrolled, applies across all PAGCOR-licensed casino operations — online and land-based.
If you wish to be enrolled in the PAGCOR national self-exclusion register — which provides a broader level of exclusion coverage beyond a single platform — you can contact PAGCOR directly through their official government portal. pisogame cooperates fully with PAGCOR's exclusion registers and is required to cross-reference new account registrations against them.
PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources also include educational materials on recognising problem gambling, financial counselling referrals, and guidance for families and loved ones of people experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
Regulatory oversight: pisogame is required under its PAGCOR licence to maintain a responsible gaming programme that meets or exceeds PAGCOR's minimum standards. Our player protection tools, age verification processes, and self-exclusion procedures are all subject to periodic PAGCOR audit and review.
Licensed mental health professionals in the Philippines can provide confidential assessment and ongoing support for gambling-related issues. Your primary care doctor can provide a referral to a licensed counsellor or psychologist.
Gambling problems affect the people around the player too. If you're concerned about a family member or friend, reaching out to a counsellor yourself — even before the person with the problem is ready to seek help — can be an important first step.
Our 24/7 support team can activate any responsible gaming tool on your behalf, walk you through self-exclusion, or help you access your account history. Contact us anytime via live chat from within your account.
Set a personal budget for gambling before you play — from discretionary income only. Treat it like entertainment spending, not an investment.
Decide how long you're going to play before you start — then stick to it. Session time reminders in your Account Settings can help hold you to that commitment.
Casino games are designed for entertainment, not as a reliable income source. If you find yourself depending on gambling winnings to cover costs, that's a signal to step back.
The moment gambling starts feeling stressful, compulsive, or like an obligation rather than entertainment — that's your cue to step away. The games will still be there tomorrow.
pisogame's responsible gaming programme isn't about discouraging play — it's about making sure that when you play, you're doing it in a way that stays enjoyable. 2.4 million Filipino players trust pisogame precisely because we take these protections seriously. Set your limits, use the tools, and play on your own terms.
21+ only. Gambling is for adults and for entertainment. If gambling is causing you distress, please activate self-exclusion from Account Settings or contact our support team now.
