At 117ph, we believe gaming should be fun, exciting, and most importantly — safe. We're committed to helping Filipino players enjoy our platform responsibly by providing tools, resources, and support to keep gambling entertainment, not a problem. Play smart, know your limits, and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
117ph operates under a PAGCOR license with strict responsible gaming standards that protect Filipino players. As a regulated gaming operator, we take our obligation seriously to prevent gambling-related harm, promote awareness of problem gambling, and ensure that our platform remains a safe space for entertainment.
Responsible gaming means maintaining control over your gambling activity, setting realistic limits, and recognizing when gaming stops being fun. Whether you're spinning slots, betting on sports, or playing live dealer games at 117ph, we want you to enjoy the experience without negative consequences to your finances, relationships, or wellbeing.
117ph strictly prohibits underage gambling. All players must be at least 21 years old to register an account, deposit funds, or play any games on our platform. This age requirement is mandated by Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations.
During registration and throughout your gaming journey, we verify player age through:
If you are a parent or guardian, we encourage you to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. Monitor your children's online activities and keep your 117ph login credentials secure.
Problem gambling, sometimes called gambling addiction or compulsive gambling, occurs when someone loses control over their gambling behavior. It's not about how much you gamble or how often — it's about the impact gambling has on your life.
Most people can gamble for entertainment without problems. But for some, gambling becomes more than a hobby. It can affect your financial stability, damage relationships, harm mental health, and interfere with work or school. Recognizing the warning signs early is crucial to preventing serious harm.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to several, you may have a gambling problem:
If these questions resonate with you, please reach out for help. Problem gambling is treatable, and support is available. You don't have to face this alone.
We've built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into your 117ph account. These features give you control over your gaming activity and help you stay within safe limits. All tools are free to use and can be activated instantly from your account settings.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your 117ph account. Once you reach your limit, you won't be able to deposit more until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time (effective immediately), but increasing limits requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to ensure you're making a clear-headed decision.
How to set deposit limits:
Loss limits prevent you from losing more than a specified amount over a set time period. Unlike deposit limits, loss limits track net losses (deposits minus withdrawals) to ensure you never lose more than you're comfortable with. This is particularly helpful for players who want to enjoy gaming without risking significant financial harm.
Set maximum gaming session durations to prevent marathon gambling sessions that blur your judgment. When your session time expires, you'll be automatically logged out. This simple tool helps you maintain balance between gaming and other aspects of life. Recommended limits: 1-2 hours per session.
Reality checks are periodic reminders that display how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. These pop-up notifications appear at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 minutes, every hour) to give you a moment to reassess whether you want to continue playing. Reality checks help prevent tunnel vision that can occur during extended gaming sessions.
If you feel you need a break from gambling, self-exclusion allows you to temporarily or permanently close your 117ph account. During the self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or play — and we will not send you promotional communications.
Self-exclusion options at 117ph:
To activate self-exclusion, contact our customer support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Once confirmed, your account will be closed within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation email with details of your exclusion period.
In addition to 117ph's self-exclusion tools, PAGCOR operates a National Self-Exclusion Registry that allows Filipino players to exclude themselves from all licensed gaming operators in the Philippines. This program provides comprehensive protection across multiple platforms.
To enroll in the National Self-Exclusion Registry, visit the PAGCOR Responsible Gaming website or contact their responsible gaming hotline for assistance. Enrollment is confidential and free of charge.
Beyond using our tools, here are practical strategies to keep your gaming healthy and enjoyable:
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, help is available. Several Philippine organizations and international resources provide free, confidential support for gambling addiction:
PAGCOR operates a dedicated helpline for Filipino players experiencing gambling problems. Trained counselors provide support, referrals, and information about treatment options. Calls are confidential and free of charge.
The NCMH provides mental health services including treatment for behavioral addictions like gambling. They offer counseling, therapy programs, and psychiatric support for individuals and families affected by problem gambling.
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experiences, strength, and hope to help each other recover from gambling addiction. GA meetings are held regularly in Metro Manila and other cities across the Philippines.
Several online forums and support groups connect Filipino players with others facing similar challenges. These communities offer peer support, advice, and encouragement for those working toward recovery.
BeGambleAware is a UK-based charity providing information, advice, and support for anyone affected by problem gambling. Their website offers self-assessment tools, practical tips, and links to treatment providers worldwide.
If you are in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm related to gambling problems, please reach out immediately:
You are not alone. Help is available 24/7. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
117ph takes extra measures to protect players who may be vulnerable to gambling harm, including individuals with mental health conditions, substance abuse issues, or a history of problem gambling. If you believe you or someone you know may be at higher risk, we encourage proactive use of our self-exclusion and limit-setting tools.
We also monitor accounts for patterns that may indicate problem gambling, such as rapid increases in deposit frequency, extended gaming sessions, or erratic betting behavior. If our systems flag concerning activity, we may reach out to check on your wellbeing and offer support resources.
117ph is committed to ethical marketing that does not target vulnerable individuals, misrepresent odds of winning, or encourage excessive gambling. Our promotional communications:
If you wish to stop receiving promotional emails, SMS messages, or push notifications from 117ph, you can unsubscribe at any time through your account settings or by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing communication.
At the end of the day, 117ph exists to provide entertainment. Gaming should be exciting, social, and enjoyable — a way to relax and have fun in your free time. When gambling stops being fun and starts causing stress, financial strain, or relationship problems, it's time to step back.
