88bon is a PAGCOR-regulated online casino built for Filipino adults who enjoy gaming as entertainment. That word — entertainment — is the foundation of everything on this page. If the fun ever starts feeling like pressure, this page has the tools, the information, and the support resources to help you regain control.
Online gaming is one of the most popular forms of digital entertainment in the Philippines right now. Millions of Filipinos enjoy casino games, bingo, slots, and sports betting as a leisure activity — the same way they enjoy a movie, a round of golf, or a night out with barkada in Poblacion. For the vast majority of players, that's exactly what it stays: an enjoyable way to spend discretionary time and money.
88bon exists within that reality. We're a PAGCOR-regulated platform and we take that regulatory relationship seriously — not just as a licensing formality, but as a genuine framework for operating responsibly. PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines set minimum standards, and 88bon's internal policies are designed to meet and exceed them. The tools on this page aren't an afterthought. They're built into the platform architecture and available to every registered player without friction.
But we also know that gambling, like any form of entertainment involving money, can become problematic for a small percentage of people. Problem gambling doesn't look the same for everyone. It can develop gradually — a few extra sessions here, a bigger bet there — before it starts affecting daily life, relationships, or finances. The best time to set limits is before there's a problem. That's why 88bon makes deposit limits, session timers, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion tools available from the moment your account is active.
If you're reading this page because you think you or someone you care about might have a problem with gambling, the most important thing to know is this: help is available, the tools on 88bon work immediately, and you don't have to justify or explain your decision to use them. You can set a deposit limit, take a break, or exclude your account right now — no waiting period, no questions asked about why.
Six practical tools built into every 88bon account — accessible from your settings page at any time, no justification required.
Set a maximum deposit amount for any rolling daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once you reach your limit, 88bon will automatically block further deposits until the period resets. You can reduce your limit immediately, but increases require a 7-day cooling-off period — this is intentional and protects you from impulsive changes in the heat of a session.
Choose an automatic session reminder at 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours. When your chosen time is reached, a clear notification will appear showing your session duration, net position for the session, and total deposits for the month. You choose whether to continue or stop — the reminder just ensures the decision is conscious, not habitual.
Take a short break from 88bon — 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days — without closing your account permanently. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your balance is safe and will be waiting when your cooling-off period ends. Useful when you feel like you need a short pause but aren't ready for a longer break.
Set a maximum net loss amount for any rolling daily, weekly, or monthly period. When your net losses across all games reach your set limit, 88bon will prevent you from placing further bets until the period resets. Loss limits work independently of deposit limits and give you an additional layer of control over the outcome side of your play, not just the input side.
Your 88bon account dashboard displays your current session time, the net result of your current session, total deposits for the current calendar month, and your win/loss trend over the past 30 days. This information is always visible without needing to navigate to a separate page — transparency about your own activity is the most effective responsible gaming tool available.
The most powerful tool on this list. Request temporary self-exclusion (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months) or permanent exclusion directly from your account settings or by contacting 88bon support. Exclusion takes effect immediately, blocks all access including login, and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Permanent exclusion is irreversible.
Philippine gaming law — specifically PAGCOR's regulatory framework — requires that all online casino players be at least 21 years of age. This isn't a suggestion. It's a legal requirement, and 88bon enforces it through mandatory government ID verification for every account before real-money gaming access is granted.
No exceptions under any circumstances. Both Philippine law and 88bon's platform policy.
Valid Philippine government-issued ID required. PhilSys, passport, LTO license, UMID all accepted.
Any account found to belong to a person under 21 is immediately closed and reported to PAGCOR.
Parents and guardians: if you share a device, use browser parental controls and password-protect your 88bon account to prevent underage access.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. These are the behavioral signals that 88bon's responsible gaming framework is designed to detect — and that you should take seriously if you recognize them in yourself or someone close to you.
Placing bigger bets to try to win back money you've already lost — the most common and dangerous pattern in problem gambling. Each chase often leads to larger losses, not recovery.
Using rent money, utility bills, food budget, or borrowed funds for gambling deposits. If a loss would create a genuine financial hardship, the bet is too large for your current situation.
Regularly spending more time on gambling than you planned, missing meals, sleep, or important commitments because of extended gaming sessions you didn't intend to have.
Concealing deposit amounts, session frequency, or losses from family members or partners. Secrecy around gambling activity is a strong indicator that you already know something is wrong.
Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or difficult personal situations. When gambling becomes a coping mechanism, it typically escalates quickly.
Arguments with family or barkada about gambling, reduced performance at work or school, neglected responsibilities — when gambling is affecting your relationships and livelihood, it has moved beyond entertainment.
The first step is acknowledging it — and you've already done that by reading this page. The second step is using the tools available to you right now: set a deposit limit, start a cooling-off period, or activate self-exclusion from your 88bon account settings. The third step, if needed, is reaching out to one of the support organizations listed in the Resources section below. 88bon's support team is available 24/7 and can activate account restrictions on your behalf if you contact us through live chat.
This isn't a clinical diagnostic tool — it's a set of plain questions adapted from the PAGCOR responsible gaming framework and widely used problem gambling screening tools. If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, 88bon strongly recommends using the self-exclusion tool or contacting a support organization.
Please consider using 88bon's self-exclusion tool immediately, or contact the support organizations listed in the Resources section below. Reaching out early makes a real difference. You are not alone — problem gambling affects a meaningful proportion of regular online casino players in the Philippines, and effective help is available.
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement from gambling?
Have you ever lied to family members, friends, or your partner about how much time or money you spend gambling?
Have you ever gambled to try to win back money you lost in a previous session — and ended up losing more?
Have you ever used money intended for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses to fund gambling deposits?
Have you ever felt restless, irritable, or anxious when you tried to cut down or stop gambling?
Has gambling ever caused you to miss or be late for work, school, or important family commitments in the past month?
Have you ever borrowed money from family, friends, or a loan source specifically to have funds available for gambling?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently when you're not playing — planning your next session or remembering past wins or losses?
Takes less than 3 minutes. Works immediately. No justification needed.

Self-exclusion durations at 88bon range from a short break to permanent closure. There is no wrong choice — the right duration is whatever helps you regain control. Once set, the period cannot be shortened. This is a deliberate protection mechanism.
A 30-day cooling-off period. Useful if you feel you've been playing too frequently recently and want to reset your habits without a long-term commitment.
90 days away from the platform. Enough time to genuinely assess your relationship with gambling and address any underlying contributors.
A 6-month exclusion is appropriate where gambling has meaningfully disrupted your finances, relationships, or daily routine.
Twelve months gives you the space to seek professional support, stabilize finances, and rebuild habits without the platform in the picture at all.
Irreversible account closure. No future re-registration is permitted. Recommended for players who have determined that gambling should not be part of their life. Your balance will be withdrawn to your registered payment method before the account is closed.
If gambling is negatively affecting your life or someone you care about, these organizations provide free and confidential support to Filipino players.

No judgment, no questions about your reasons.
These are 88bon's public commitments to every Filipino player on the platform — not aspirational statements, but operational standards that are embedded in our PAGCOR license and our internal compliance framework. We publish them here so you know what to hold us to.
When you ask to be excluded, it happens immediately — regardless of what promotions are active, what your balance is, or how recently you deposited. Exclusion requests are never delayed or discouraged.
88bon monitors gaming patterns for signs of problem gambling and reports to PAGCOR as required. Players showing consistent loss-chasing behavior may receive mandatory cooling-off communications from the compliance team.
Once a self-exclusion is active, 88bon removes the player from all marketing lists — no bonus emails, no re-engagement SMS, no promotional notifications for the duration of the exclusion period.
No verification required to set a limit. No waiting period to reduce a limit. No explanation required to exclude your account. These tools are designed to be faster and easier to use than making a deposit.
Government ID verification is mandatory and non-bypassable. No account reaches real-money gaming without completing KYC. This applies to every player, every time, with no exceptions.
88bon is built for Filipino adults who enjoy online gaming as entertainment. Set your limits before you start, use the tools when you need them, and reach out to our 24/7 support team if something doesn't feel right.
