188ji believes that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your means. We provide every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep gaming a positive experience — never a problem.
Player Protection Tools
188ji gives every player access to a full suite of responsible gaming tools — available directly from your account settings, no questions asked.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 188ji account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Set a session duration reminder so 188ji will notify you when you've been playing for a set amount of time. It's easy to lose track of time when you're enjoying bingo or slots — this tool helps you stay aware and take breaks when needed.
Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to log in or make deposits. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
If you feel that gaming is becoming a problem, you can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will be removed from all 188ji marketing communications.
Set a maximum loss threshold for a given period. Once your net losses reach the limit you've set, 188ji will prevent further wagers until the period resets. This tool helps you protect your bankroll and avoid chasing losses.
Enable reality check pop-ups that appear at regular intervals during your gaming session, showing you how long you've been playing and your net win/loss for the session. A quick reality check can make a big difference in keeping gaming fun.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, age, or background. It often develops gradually, and many players don't realize there's an issue until it has already caused significant harm. Knowing the warning signs is the first step toward getting help.
If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use 188ji's responsible gaming tools or reach out to a professional support service. There is no shame in asking for help — it takes courage.
Spending more than you can affordUsing money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or family needs to fund gaming sessions is a serious warning sign that gambling has moved beyond entertainment.
Chasing lossesContinuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've already lost — often increasing bet sizes — is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.
Lying about gaming activityHiding how much time or money you spend on gaming from family members, friends, or colleagues is a strong indicator that gaming has become problematic.
Neglecting responsibilitiesMissing work, school, or family obligations because of gaming — or feeling restless and irritable when not playing — suggests that gaming is interfering with daily life.
Borrowing money to gambleTaking out loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit cards specifically to fund gaming sessions is a clear sign that gambling has become financially harmful.
Unable to stop or cut backMaking repeated unsuccessful attempts to reduce or stop gambling, or feeling a compulsive urge to keep playing despite wanting to stop, indicates a loss of control that requires professional support.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a powerful tool for players who feel they need a longer break from gaming. Once activated, your 188ji account will be fully suspended for the duration you choose — and 188ji will make every reasonable effort to ensure you cannot access the platform during that period.
Log in to your 188ji account and navigate to Account Settings. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section in your account dashboard.
Select "Self-Exclusion" and choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Consider your situation carefully — exclusion periods cannot be shortened once activated.
Confirm your request. You will receive a confirmation notification. Your account will be suspended immediately and you will be removed from all 188ji promotional communications for the duration of the exclusion.
Contact support if needed. If you are unable to access your account settings or need immediate assistance with self-exclusion, contact the 188ji support team directly. Our team is available 24/7 and will process your request promptly.
After your exclusion period ends, you will need to contact 188ji support to reactivate your account. There is a mandatory 24-hour reflection period before reactivation is processed, giving you time to reconsider.
Self-Assessment
Take a moment to honestly reflect on the following questions. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or seek support.
Have you ever spent more money on gaming than you originally planned to?
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund a gaming session?
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by continuing to play?
Has gaming ever caused arguments with your family or affected your relationships?
Have you ever missed work, school, or an important commitment because of gaming?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop gaming?
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity from people close to you?
