Tools That Keep You in the Driver's Seat

Every 13 ph account comes with built-in controls you can activate any time, straight from your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap so your spending never goes beyond what you are comfortable with. Once a limit is active, it takes effect immediately and cannot be raised until a mandatory cooling-off period has passed. This gives you a reliable safety net even on days when the excitement of a big match makes it tempting to top up just one more time. You can review and adjust your limits at any time from your account dashboard. Lowering a limit always takes effect right away — raising one requires a short waiting period by design.

Session Time Reminders

It is easy to lose track of time when you are deep into a live match or a fast-paced game. Session time reminders send you a notification after a set period — say, 30 minutes or one hour — so you can pause, check in with yourself, and decide whether to continue. You choose the interval that works for you, and the reminder appears as a clear on-screen prompt rather than a subtle background alert. Taking regular breaks is one of the simplest and most effective habits for keeping gaming enjoyable long-term. You can update your reminder interval or turn it off entirely from your account settings at any time.

Cool-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break from betting, a cool-off period lets you temporarily suspend your account for a defined window — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During a cool-off, you cannot place bets or make deposits, but your account and balance remain intact so you can return when you are ready. This tool is ideal for players who want a structured pause without committing to a full self-exclusion. Requesting a cool-off takes just a few taps in your account settings, and it activates immediately with no delay. We encourage you to use this feature proactively rather than waiting until a problem feels serious.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment for players who feel they need a more serious break from gambling. You can request a self-exclusion period of one month, six months, one year, or indefinitely, and during that time your account will be fully restricted — no betting, no deposits, no promotional communications. Once a self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends, which is intentional: it gives you a firm boundary when you need it most. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team at [email protected] or use the option in your account settings. We treat every self-exclusion request with full confidentiality and without judgement.

Spending Tracker

Your account dashboard includes a clear spending summary showing your deposits, withdrawals, and net betting activity over any period you choose. Seeing your actual numbers — rather than relying on memory — is one of the most powerful ways to stay honest with yourself about your gambling habits. The tracker updates in real time so there are no surprises at the end of the month. If your spending is trending in a direction you are not comfortable with, you can act immediately by adjusting your deposit limits or requesting a cool-off. Transparency about your own activity is the foundation of responsible play, and 13 ph makes that information easy to access at any time.

Support Any Time

Our support team is available around the clock to help with any responsible gaming concern, no matter how small it feels. Whether you want help setting up a limit, need guidance on self-exclusion, or simply want to talk through a concern, you can reach us at [email protected]. We are trained to handle these conversations with care and discretion, and we will never pressure you to continue playing. If you feel that gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please reach out — early conversations lead to better outcomes. You can also visit our FAQ page for quick answers to common responsible gaming questions.

Know the Warning Signs

Gambling is entertainment — but it can become a problem for some people. Recognising the signs early makes all the difference.

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of income, age, or experience. The signs are not always obvious at first, but there are patterns worth watching for. If you find yourself betting more than you planned, chasing losses to try to win back money, or feeling anxious or irritable when you are not able to play, these may be early indicators that your relationship with gambling needs attention. Borrowing money to fund bets, hiding your gambling activity from family or friends, or neglecting work and personal responsibilities are more serious warning signs that warrant immediate action. At 13 ph, we take these signals seriously and encourage every player to check in with themselves regularly — not just when things feel out of control.

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you intended
  • Chasing losses by placing bigger or more frequent bets
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Hiding gambling activity from people close to you
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems

Where to Get Help in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available in the Philippines. The National Council on Problem Gambling and local mental health organisations offer confidential support and counselling services. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness, and the sooner you seek help, the easier recovery becomes. You can also contact our team at [email protected] and we will assist you in activating self-exclusion or connecting you with appropriate resources. Remember: 13 ph is here to provide entertainment, and we want every Filipino player to enjoy our platform safely and sustainably for the long term.

Quick Answers on Responsible Play

Common questions from Filipino players about our player protection tools.

Log in to your account and go to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. The limit takes effect immediately once saved. If you want to lower your limit, the change is instant. If you want to raise it, a mandatory waiting period applies to give you time to reconsider. If you need help finding the setting, contact [email protected] and our team will guide you through the process.

No. Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed or shortened before the chosen period expires. This is a deliberate design choice to ensure the tool provides a genuine, reliable break when you need it most. After the exclusion period ends, you may contact [email protected] to discuss reactivating your account. We strongly recommend taking time to reflect before returning to play, and our support team is happy to talk through your options with you.

Yes, absolutely. All responsible gaming requests — whether for deposit limits, cool-off periods, or self-exclusion — are handled with full confidentiality. Your information is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes, and our support team is trained to handle these conversations with discretion and care. You will never be pressured to continue playing or to reverse a protection measure you have put in place. Your wellbeing always comes first at 13 ph.

If you are concerned about a family member or someone close to you, the most important step is to open a calm, non-judgmental conversation about what you have observed. Encourage them to use the responsible gaming tools available on their account, and if the situation feels serious, suggest they speak with a professional counsellor or contact a problem gambling helpline in the Philippines. You can also contact our support team at [email protected] on their behalf to ask about account restrictions. Supporting someone through a gambling problem can be challenging — make sure you also look after your own wellbeing during the process.
