Why Responsible Gaming
Matters to r85

At r85, we take responsible gaming seriously — not just because it's required under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every player on our platform. Whether you're spinning slots from Makati, playing bingo in Cebu, or betting on the PBA from Davao, r85 wants your experience to stay enjoyable and within your means.

Gambling is a form of entertainment. Like any form of entertainment, it works best when it's done in moderation, with a clear head, and with money you can afford to spend. The moment it stops being fun — or starts affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health — it's time to use the tools r85 provides to take a step back.

r85 is aligned with the responsible gaming framework set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), the regulatory body overseeing licensed online gaming in the Philippines. We enforce strict age verification (21+ only), provide self-exclusion tools, and maintain deposit and loss limit features that every registered player can activate at any time — free of charge.

If you or someone you know is showing signs of problem gambling, please use the tools on this page or reach out to our support team. You are never alone in this.

The 21+ Rule — No Exceptions

Under PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law, online casino gaming is strictly limited to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. r85 enforces this through mandatory age verification at registration — every new account must submit a valid government-issued ID (PhilSys, passport, or driver's license) before any real-money play is permitted.

Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds returned, and the matter reported to PAGCOR as required by law. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Important: If you are a parent or guardian and suspect a minor has accessed r85, contact our support team immediately. We will investigate and act within 24 hours.
Player Tools

r85 Responsible Gaming Tools

Every r85 player has access to these protection tools — free, instant, and available directly from your account settings at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your r85 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 7-day cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing in a given period. When your net losses hit the threshold you've set, r85 will automatically restrict further play for that period. This tool is especially useful for players who want a hard financial safety net.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so r85 automatically logs you out after a defined period of play. You'll also receive on-screen reminders as you approach your limit. Taking regular breaks is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable and in perspective.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break without fully closing your account? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The cool-off activates immediately and cannot be reversed once set.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, r85 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will be blocked from creating new accounts. This is the strongest protection tool available.

Reality Check Alerts

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent or won in the current session. These reality checks help you stay grounded and make conscious decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

How to access these tools: Log in to your r85 account, go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. All tools are available there at no cost. Changes to stricter limits (lower deposits, shorter sessions, self-exclusion) take effect immediately. Changes to more permissive limits require a mandatory review period.
Know the Signs

Warning Signs of
Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they've been playing. The key is recognizing the warning signs early, before gambling starts causing serious harm to your finances, relationships, or mental health.

r85 encourages every player to honestly assess their own gaming behavior. If you recognize yourself in any of the warning signs listed here, please use our responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Remember: Responsible gaming means gambling only with money you can afford to lose, treating it as entertainment — not as a way to earn income or recover losses.
01
Chasing Losses

Continuing to play or increasing your bets in an attempt to win back money you've already lost. This is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.

02
Gambling Beyond Your Means

Using money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses to fund your gaming. If gambling is competing with your basic needs, it's time to stop and seek help.

03
Inability to Stop

Feeling unable to stop playing even when you want to, or continuing to play despite promising yourself you would stop. Loss of control over gambling behavior is a key indicator of a problem.

04
Hiding Your Gambling

Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling. Secrecy and deception are strong warning signs that gambling has become a problem.

05
Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling. If gaming is interfering with your daily responsibilities or relationships, it has moved beyond healthy entertainment.

06
Borrowing to Gamble

Taking out loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit cards specifically to fund gambling. Financial desperation linked to gambling is a serious warning sign requiring immediate action.

Self-Exclusion

Need a Serious Break?
Self-Exclusion is Here.

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool r85 offers. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is immediately and completely suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, place bets, or receive promotional communications for the duration of your chosen exclusion period.

r85 offers the following self-exclusion periods: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the period ends. This is by design — it's meant to be a firm commitment, not a temporary inconvenience.

During your self-exclusion period, r85 will also make reasonable efforts to prevent you from opening a new account. If you attempt to register a new account while self-excluded, it will be closed and any deposits returned.

Self-Exclusion Periods
Short Break 6 Months
Standard 1 Year
Extended 3 Years
Permanent Forever
Note: Self-exclusion activates instantly and cannot be reversed early. All pending withdrawals will still be processed to your registered payment method.
Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming
Still in Control?

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we strongly encourage you to use r85's responsible gaming tools or speak with a professional counselor.

This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it's a starting point for honest self-reflection. Your answers are private and are not recorded by r85.

Tip: Print or screenshot this checklist and revisit it once a month. Honest self-assessment is the first step toward staying in control of your gaming habits.

Support Resources

Help is Always Available

r85 works alongside Philippine regulatory bodies and support organizations to ensure every player has access to professional help when they need it.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming standards for all licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. PAGCOR maintains a national self-exclusion registry and player protection programs that r85 participates in and supports.

r85 Responsible Gaming Support

Our dedicated responsible gaming team is available 24/7 to assist players who have concerns about their gaming behavior. Contact us through the live chat feature in your r85 account or email our support team. All conversations are strictly confidential.

National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH provides mental health services across the Philippines, including support for behavioral addictions such as problem gambling. Filipino players in Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other major cities can access NCMH services through their regional offices.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling problem. GA meetings are held regularly in Manila, Quezon City, Makati, and other cities.

DSWD Crisis Intervention

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) provides crisis intervention services for Filipinos experiencing financial or personal crises, including those related to problem gambling. DSWD offices are present in all provinces and major cities nationwide.

Parental Controls & Account Sharing

r85 strictly prohibits account sharing. Each account must be used only by the registered account holder who is 21 years of age or older. If you share a device with family members, ensure your r85 account is always logged out and your credentials are kept private.

Healthy Habits

Tips for Healthy Gaming

Simple habits that keep gaming fun, sustainable, and firmly in the entertainment category — not a financial strategy.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you open the app. Treat it like a night out — once the budget is gone, the session is over. Never dip into savings, rent money, or funds earmarked for bills.

Set a Time Limit

Decide how long you'll play before you start. Use r85's session time limit feature or simply set a timer on your phone. When the timer goes off, log out — regardless of whether you're winning or losing.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

Approach every gaming session as entertainment, not as a way to make money. The house always has an edge over the long run. Wins are a bonus — not an expectation. This mindset keeps gaming enjoyable and sustainable.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly. Grab a snack, stretch, or chat with someone. Extended gaming sessions impair judgment and make it harder to stick to your budget and time limits. Breaks keep you sharp and in control.

Never Chase Losses

If you've hit your loss limit for the session, stop. Chasing losses is the fastest path to problem gambling. Accept that losing is part of the game, log out, and come back another day with a fresh budget and a clear head.

Keep Gaming in Balance

Make sure gaming is just one of many activities in your life — not the main one. Maintain your hobbies, social connections, and physical health. A balanced lifestyle is the best protection against problem gambling.
