Player Protection

p989 Responsible Gaming

At p989, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or harm. This page outlines the tools, resources, and commitments p989 has in place to help every Filipino player stay in control of their gaming experience.

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please use the self-exclusion and limit tools available in your p989 account, or reach out to our support team for immediate assistance. You are not alone.

21+

Strictly 21 and Above

p989 is an online gaming platform exclusively for adults aged 21 years and older, in full compliance with Philippine gaming law and PAGCOR regulations. No exceptions.

Age Restriction at p989

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR's licensing conditions, online casino gaming is restricted to individuals who are at least 21 years of age. p989 strictly enforces this requirement at every stage of the player journey — from registration through to withdrawal.

During the registration process, every new p989 player is required to confirm their date of birth. Before any withdrawal is processed, p989 verifies the player's identity through our KYC process, which includes government-issued ID verification. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned in accordance with applicable law.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor may have accessed the p989 platform, please contact our support team immediately. We take underage gaming prevention extremely seriously and will act without delay.

Parents & Guardians: We strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. p989 supports all efforts to keep gaming away from those who are underage.

Your Protection Tools

p989 gives every player direct access to a full suite of responsible gaming tools — available anytime from your account settings. These tools are free, instant, and designed to keep you in control.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your p989 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set period. When your net losses reach the limit you've set, p989 will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets. This tool helps you stay within your personal budget at all times.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your session time is up, p989 will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This is a simple but powerful way to prevent extended gaming sessions from becoming a habit.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up notifications that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered during the current session. Reality checks are a gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue or take a break.

Take a Break

Need a short pause? Use the Take a Break feature to temporarily suspend your p989 account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place wagers. This is ideal if you feel you need a short cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break or want to stop gambling entirely, p989 offers self-exclusion periods from a minimum of 6 months up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and p989 will not send you any promotional communications.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. The earlier it is recognized, the easier it is to address. Ask yourself these questions honestly:

Do any of these apply to you?

Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned, or chase losses to try to win back what you've lost?

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling?

Has gambling caused problems with your family, friends, work, or finances here in the Philippines?

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling constantly — planning your next session or reliving past wins?

Have you borrowed money, sold belongings, or used bill money to fund your gambling?

Have you tried to hide your gambling activity from people close to you?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use p989's self-exclusion tool or take a break, and to seek support from a professional counseling service.

You don't have to face problem gambling alone. p989 works within the PAGCOR responsible gaming framework and encourages players to reach out to professional support services available to Filipinos.
