Why It Matters

Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming at YY PH

Every feature below was designed with one goal in mind — making sure you're always in the driver's seat when it comes to how you play.

Deposit Limits

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

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration before you start playing. When your time is up, YY PH will prompt you with a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. It's a simple way to make sure you're playing for fun — not losing track of time.

Reality Check Reminders

Receive on-screen pop-up alerts at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — showing you how long you've been playing and your net win/loss for the session. A quick reality check goes a long way.

Cooling-Off Periods

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or up to 6 weeks. During this time your account is temporarily suspended — no logins, no bets, no deposits. You can set this up in your account settings at any time.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is getting out of control, self-exclusion is the most powerful tool we offer. You can close your YY PH account for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Contact our support team and we will action it immediately — no questions asked.

24/7 Support Access

Our support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. Whether you need help setting a limit, want information about self-exclusion, or just need someone to talk to, we're here. Walang husgahan dito — we're on your side.

Activating Your Responsible Gaming Tools

All YY PH responsible gaming tools are free, instant to activate, and accessible directly from your account dashboard. Here's how each one works:

Log in and go to Account Settings

Click your username icon in the top-right corner and select "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu.

Choose the tool you want to activate

Pick from deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion. Each tool has clear instructions on the settings page.

3

Enter the limit amount or time period you want. For deposit limit reductions and cooling-off periods, the change is immediate. For limit increases, a 7-day wait applies to prevent impulsive decisions.

4

Contact support if you need more help

If you want to self-exclude or need urgent assistance, reach our 24/7 team via live chat or email at support@yyph.best. We'll handle your request with full confidentiality.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling doesn't always look obvious. It can creep up gradually, and many players don't realise there's an issue until it's significantly affecting their daily life and finances. If any of the points below sound familiar — whether for yourself or someone you know — it may be time to take a step back and seek support.

There's no shame in recognising these patterns. The bravest thing you can do is acknowledge them early. YY PH is here to support you through every step — hindi ka nag-iisa.

If you answer "yes" to three or more of the warning signs below, we strongly encourage you to use our self-exclusion tool or contact our support team immediately.

You spend more money on betting than you originally planned, and it happens repeatedly — not just once.

You borrow money, sell belongings, or use bill money to fund your gambling on YY PH or any other platform.

Gambling has started to affect your work, studies, or important relationships at home.

You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to gamble, or you use gambling to escape problems or negative feelings.

You keep chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you've already lost.

You hide your gambling activity from family members or lie about how much time or money you spend on it.

You have tried to cut back on gambling but found it very difficult to stop even when you wanted to.
