tmt88 believes every Filipino player deserves a gambling experience that stays fun. That means giving you the tools, the knowledge, and the support to keep things in balance — and being honest when the balance tips. This page explains everything tmt88 offers to keep your play healthy.
Our Commitment
Responsible gaming isn't a page on a website for tmt88 — it's a condition of our PAGCOR operating license and a genuine operational commitment. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation requires all licensed online operators to maintain active responsible gaming programs, and tmt88 takes those requirements seriously at every level of the platform.
The reality is that most Filipino players who come to tmt88 are here for entertainment. They enjoy the thrill of a well-timed slot spin, the tension of a live Baccarat hand, or the social element of an online Bingo room. For the vast majority, gambling stays exactly what it's supposed to be — leisure. tmt88 wants to keep it that way.
But gambling can stop being entertainment for some players, and tmt88 knows that. The platform's responsible gaming tools exist for that moment — when a player in Pasig or Davao starts spending more than they intended, chasing losses they can't afford, or letting a GCash top-up become a compulsion rather than a choice. tmt88's tools and support team are here before that moment escalates.
All responsible gaming controls on tmt88 take effect immediately when activated — there is no delay or cooling-off period before a restriction kicks in. Limits are always easier to tighten than to loosen. Increases to limits are subject to a mandatory 24-hour reflection period before they take effect.
tmt88 operates under a PAGCOR license that requires active compliance with the Commission's responsible gaming framework. This includes mandatory age verification for all accounts, player protection tools, and regular reporting on responsible gaming activities to PAGCOR.
Problem gambling is a recognised health issue in the Philippines and globally. It affects people from all backgrounds — from casual players in Quezon City to regular bettors in Cebu. If you or someone you know is showing signs of problem gambling, help is available. tmt88 can connect you with support resources immediately.
Healthy gambling means playing with money you can genuinely afford to lose, treating outcomes with enjoyment rather than anxiety, and stopping when you want to — not because you ran out. tmt88 is designed to support that kind of play.
Core Principles
These six commitments form the foundation of tmt88's responsible gaming program — each one backed by policy, technology, and people.
Every tmt88 account is subject to age verification as required by PAGCOR. No withdrawal is processed until a valid Philippine government-issued ID confirming the player is at least 21 years of age has been reviewed. Accounts found to belong to minors are permanently closed and reported to PAGCOR immediately. No exceptions are made and no winnings from underage accounts are honoured.
tmt88's self-exclusion tool allows you to close your account to gambling activity for a defined period — from six months to permanent. Once activated, self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours and cannot be reversed for the duration of the chosen period. tmt88 will reject any new registration attempt from a self-excluded player and remove their account from promotional communications immediately upon exclusion request.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps that prevent your GCash or Maya top-ups from exceeding what you've decided is your personal budget. Limits can be lowered instantly — the tighter restriction always applies immediately. Increases to an existing deposit limit are subject to a mandatory 24-hour waiting period, giving you time to reconsider before committing to a higher limit.
tmt88 allows you to set a maximum net loss limit per day, week, or month. Once you reach your chosen loss limit within the period, tmt88 blocks further betting until the limit period resets. This is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available — it puts a hard ceiling on worst-case outcomes and removes the temptation to chase losses in the heat of the moment.
Long sessions can blur the sense of time passing and the money being spent — especially on mobile where tmt88 is always a thumb-tap away. tmt88's session time tools let you set a maximum session length, and optional pop-up reminders alert you at intervals you define. When your session limit is reached, tmt88 logs you out automatically and requires a deliberate decision to return.
A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to play without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off can be set for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During a cooling-off period, your account remains accessible for reviewing history and managing withdrawals, but no bets can be placed. The period cannot be cut short once activated — only extended if needed.
Available Right Now in Your Account
All tools below are accessible from your tmt88 Account Settings. No need to contact support — you can activate most of these yourself in under two minutes.
Cap the total amount you can deposit into your tmt88 Wallet over a rolling period. Available in daily (e.g., PHP 500/day), weekly (e.g., PHP 2,000/week), and monthly (e.g., PHP 5,000/month) configurations. Multiple limit types can be active simultaneously.
How to activate: Log in → Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits → Set your preferred amount and period → Confirm. Takes effect immediately.
Define the maximum net loss you are willing to sustain over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss reaches this threshold, tmt88 prevents further wagering until the period resets. This is independent from your deposit limit — both can run concurrently.
How to activate: Log in → Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits → Enter your limit → Save. Reductions are immediate. Increases require 24-hour confirmation.
Receive an in-session notification at a time interval of your choosing — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — reminding you how long you've been playing. Optional hard session cutoff automatically logs you out after a maximum session duration you set in advance.
How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Reminders → Choose interval and optional cutoff time → Save. Active from your next login session.
Suspend all wagering activity on your account for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. Account access for viewing history and processing pending withdrawals remains available. No new bets can be placed while a cooling-off period is active. Duration cannot be shortened.
How to activate: Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Cooling-Off → Select duration → Confirm. Takes effect within the same session. Support is also available 24/7 to assist.
Self-exclusion is tmt88's most powerful responsible gaming tool. It closes your account to all gambling activity for a defined extended period — minimum six months, or permanently. Self-exclusion activates within 24 hours of your request and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. tmt88 will remove you from all promotional communications and block any new account registration attempts from your details.
How to request (account settings): Log in → Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion → Choose period (6 months / 1 year / 2 years / Permanent) → Confirm. You will receive a confirmation notification.
How to request (via support): Contact tmt88's 24/7 live chat or email [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request." Include your registered mobile number. Our team will process your request as an urgent priority.
Step by Step
If you feel that gambling is no longer a healthy activity for you, self-exclusion is the right step. Here's exactly how to do it on tmt88 — it takes less than five minutes and takes effect within 24 hours.
Open the tmt88 platform on your browser. If you're unable to log in, contact support directly at [email protected] — they can process your self-exclusion request without requiring login.
In your account dashboard, navigate to Account Settings and select the Responsible Gaming section. This is where all player protection tools are managed.
Choose from 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or Permanent exclusion. Consider permanent exclusion if gambling has been causing serious harm — a shorter period may not be sufficient. There is no wrong choice here.
Confirm the request. You'll receive a confirmation notification. Your account will be suspended to gambling activity within 24 hours and you'll be removed from all tmt88 promotional communications.
Any verified withdrawal requests already submitted before your self-exclusion will be processed normally. Contact support if you have questions about outstanding balances.

If you answered yes to three or more of these questions, please reach out for help. tmt88's support team is available 24/7 and can activate your responsible gaming tools immediately. You do not need to be in crisis to ask for support — catching it early is always better.
