Responsible Gaming

117ph | Play Smart. Stay in Control.

At 117ph, gaming is meant to be enjoyable — a bit of fun, a reason to root for your favourite team, a way to unwind after a long week. We want every Filipino player to keep it that way. This page covers the tools, tips, and resources that help you stay in control of how you play.

21+
Adults Only
117ph is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Please play responsibly.
Important Reminder

Online gaming involves real money and real financial risk. There is no guaranteed win, no strategy that always works, and no system that beats the house every time. If you ever feel that gaming is no longer fun or is affecting your daily life, please use the tools and guidance on this page. You are not alone, and help is always available.

How 117ph Supports Responsible Play

Strict 21+ Age Verification

Every account on 117ph goes through identity verification before withdrawals are approved. We do not allow anyone under 21 to participate, and we take this seriously.

Deposit Limit Controls

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your account to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. You can adjust limits through account settings.

Self-Exclusion Options

If you need a break, you can request a temporary pause or a longer self-exclusion period on your account. Contact our support team at any time to activate this.

Session Time Reminders

It is easy to lose track of time when you are in the middle of a game. We encourage players to set personal time limits and step away from the screen regularly.

24/7 Support Access

Our support team is available around the clock. Whether you have a concern about your account or just need someone to talk to about your gaming habits, we are here.

Reality Check Tools

Keep perspective on your gaming activity. Review your bet history, wins, losses, and time spent directly from your account dashboard to stay informed at all times.


What Responsible Gaming Means at 117ph

Responsible gaming is not about telling you how to play — it is about making sure you always feel in charge of the experience. At 117ph, we believe that slots, live casino tables, sports betting on PBA and international basketball, and fish games are all genuinely entertaining when approached the right way.

The right way means playing with money you can afford to lose, spending time that does not cut into work, family, or sleep, and stopping when it stops being fun. That is it. No complicated rules, just a straightforward mindset that keeps gaming where it belongs — in the entertainment column of your life, not the stress column.

A quick rule of thumb: Before you start a session, decide on a budget and a time limit. When either one runs out, log off. That single habit makes a bigger difference than any strategy or system.

Self-Management Tools Available on 117ph

These tools are built into the platform and can be activated by contacting our support team or through your account settings.

1

Deposit Limits

Set a cap on how much you can deposit in a given period — daily, weekly, or monthly. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a short cooling-off period.

2

Temporary Break (Cool-Off Period)

Request a short pause on your account — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this period, you will not be able to log in or place bets. This is useful when you feel you need a bit of distance without committing to a longer exclusion.

3

Self-Exclusion

Request a longer-term self-exclusion of several months or more. Once activated, your account is suspended and you will not be able to reopen it before the exclusion period ends. This is a serious tool for players who feel they need a firm break from gaming.

4

Account History Review

Your full bet history, deposit and withdrawal records, and session logs are available in your account dashboard. Reviewing these regularly helps you stay honest about your gaming habits and spot any patterns worth addressing.

5

Promotional Opt-Out

If you feel that bonus offers or promotional messages are nudging you to play more than you want to, you can opt out of all marketing communications at any time through your account preferences or by contacting support.

Recognising the Warning Signs

Problem gambling does not always look dramatic. Often it creeps in gradually — a little more time, a slightly bigger bet, a sense that the next session will fix what the last one lost. Knowing the early signs helps you course-correct before things become harder to manage.

Behaviour What It Can Mean
Chasing losses — betting more to recover what you lost A sign that gaming has shifted from entertainment to pressure
Borrowing money specifically to fund gaming Financial impact has moved beyond disposable income
Lying to family or friends about how much you play or spend Gaming is affecting personal relationships and trust
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not playing Emotional dependence on the activity may be developing
Neglecting work, school, or responsibilities to play Gaming is competing with important areas of daily life
Playing to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems Gaming is being used as a coping mechanism rather than entertainment

If any of these sound familiar — even just one or two — it is worth taking a step back. You do not need to tick every box on the list for the concern to be valid. Trust your gut. If something feels off about how you are engaging with gaming, take it seriously.

Reaching out for help is a sign of self-awareness, not weakness. Many people in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the Philippines deal with this quietly. You do not have to.

Quick Self-Check

Honest answers to these questions can help you get a clearer picture of your relationship with gaming. If you answer "yes" to several of these, consider speaking with someone or using one of the tools above.

Do you spend more time or money gaming than you originally planned?
Have you tried to cut back on gaming but found it difficult?
Do you feel the need to place bigger bets to get the same level of excitement?
Have you missed work, school, or important commitments because of gaming?
Do you think about gambling frequently — even when you are not playing?
Have you gambled with money set aside for rent, food, or bills?
Do you feel the need to hide your gaming activity from the people close to you?

Practical Tips for Healthier Gaming

Most players on 117ph enjoy the platform without any issues — they set a budget, have some fun, and log off. Here are some habits that keep gaming enjoyable long-term:

  • Treat it like entertainment spending. Think of your gaming budget the same way you think about going to the cinema or eating out. It is money spent for enjoyment, not an investment.
  • Never chase losses. If you have hit your budget for the session, log off. Trying to win back what you lost in the same session rarely works out and often makes things worse.
  • Set a timer. Before you start, decide how long you will play. When the timer goes off, finish the current round and stop — even if things are going well.
  • Avoid gaming when stressed or upset. Making decisions about bets when you are emotionally off-balance tends to lead to outcomes you will regret. Play when you are relaxed and clear-headed.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen between sessions. Go for a walk, eat something, check in with family. Gaming should fit around your life, not the other way around.
  • Keep perspective on wins. A good run is great, but it does not mean your luck will hold. Do not increase your bets significantly off the back of a winning streak.
  • Use the tools available. If you feel yourself drifting into unhealthy habits, do not wait for things to get worse. Set a deposit limit or take a break through your account settings — that is exactly what those tools are for.
Remember: No game on 117ph — not slots, not live casino, not sports betting — offers guaranteed returns. Every outcome involves chance. Responsible gaming starts with accepting that reality and playing accordingly.

Protecting Your Household

If you share a device with family members, including younger siblings or children, please make sure your 117ph account is secured with a strong password and that you log out after every session. Your login credentials should never be shared or left accessible.

117ph takes the protection of minors seriously. Accounts found to be accessed by individuals under 21 will be closed immediately. If you suspect that someone underage has gained access to a 117ph account, contact us right away at [email protected].


Responsible Gaming FAQ

You can request a deposit limit by contacting our support team at [email protected] or through the live chat feature on the platform. Tell us the limit amount and the period (daily, weekly, or monthly) and we will apply it to your account promptly. Reducing a limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider.

Yes. A cool-off period lets you pause your account for a set time — anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks — without permanently closing it. During the pause, you cannot log in or place bets. When the period ends, your account is automatically reactivated. Contact our support team to set this up.

When you request self-exclusion, your account is suspended for the duration you specify. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets during this period. We will also stop sending you any promotional communications. At the end of the exclusion period, you will need to contact us to have your account reviewed before it is reactivated — it does not open automatically.

If you have had difficulties with gambling in the past, we strongly recommend speaking with a professional support service before creating or reopening an account. 117ph offers self-exclusion and deposit limit tools, but we are not a substitute for professional support. Your wellbeing always comes first.

You can reach our support team 24/7 via email at [email protected]. For account-related tools such as deposit limits, cool-off periods, or self-exclusion, email is the most reliable channel. We aim to respond to all responsible gaming requests as a priority.
