Our Commitment to Safe Play

At deskgame, we believe that entertainment should never come at the cost of your wellbeing. We are committed to providing Philippine players with a safe, transparent, and enjoyable platform where gaming remains a leisure activity — not a source of financial or emotional stress. We actively encourage all players to set personal limits, stay informed about the risks of problem gambling, and make use of the self-management tools built into every account. Our team monitors platform activity to identify patterns that may indicate a player needssupport. We take responsible gaming seriously as part of our core values, and we work continuously to improve the tools and information available to every player on our platform.

Set Your Own Limits

Control how much you deposit, how long you play, and how much you wager per session. Limits take effect immediately and can only be tightened — not loosened — within a cooling-off period, so your decisions stay protected.

Take a Break Anytime

If you feel you need time away from the platform, you can activate a temporary break or a longer self-exclusion period directly from your account settings. During any exclusion period, you will not be able to log in or receive promotional communications from us.

Track Your Activity

Your account dashboard gives you a clear view of your deposit history, session durations, and wagering totals. Reviewing this information regularly helps you stay aware of your habits and make informed decisions about your play.

Recognising When Gaming Becomes a Problem

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of how experienced or careful a player they are. It often develops gradually, which is why it is important to check in with yourself regularly and be honest about how gaming fits into your life. The following signs may indicate that your relationship with gaming has become unhealthy and that it may be time to seek support. Recognising these signs early is the most effective way to prevent a manageable situation from becoming a serious one. If you identify with any of the points below, we encourage you to use the tools available on deskgame or reach out to a professional support service in the Philippines.

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can comfortably afford.
  • Chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play or when you try to cut down.
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling personal belongings to fund your gaming activity.
  • Hiding your gaming habits or the amount you spend from family members or close friends.
  • Using gaming as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other personal difficulties.
  • Feeling unable to stop playing even when you want to, or after promising yourself you would quit.

Common Questions About Responsible Gaming

You can set deposit, loss, and session time limits directly from your account settings once you are logged in. Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your profile and choose the type of limit you want to apply. Limits take effect immediately and are designed to help you stay in control of your spending without any friction. If you want to lower a limit, the change applies straight away. If you want to raise a limit, a mandatory cooling-off period applies to give you time to reconsider. For step-by-step guidance, visit the FAQ page.

Self-exclusion is a tool that lets you voluntarily block yourself from accessing your deskgame account for a set period of time. You can choose a short break of a few days, a longer exclusion of several months, or a permanent closure if you feel that is the right decision for you. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or receive any marketing messages from us. To activate self-exclusion, go to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings or contact us through the FAQ page. We will process your request promptly and ensure your account is restricted as soon as possible.

No — deskgame is strictly for players who are 21 years of age or older, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration process and may request additional documentation at any time. If we have reason to believe that a minor has accessed the platform, we will immediately suspend the account and conduct a full review. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms. If you suspect a minor is using a deskgame account, please report it to us immediately through the FAQ page.

If you are concerned about your gaming habits, the most important step is to reach out for support as early as possible. In the Philippines, you can contact mental health and problem gambling support services for confidential advice and counselling. You can also use the self-exclusion and limit-setting tools on your deskgame account to give yourself immediate breathing room while you seek further help. Our support team is available through the FAQ page and can guide you to appropriate local resources. Remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, and there are people in the Philippines who are trained specifically to assist with gambling-related concerns.
