How 117ph Supports Responsible Play
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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].
