Our Commitment to You

At phswertr, responsible gaming is not just a legal checkbox — it is a genuine part of how we operate. We believe that a sustainable, trustworthy gaming platform is one that actively looks out for its players, not just its bottom line.

We know that for most Filipino players, gaming is a fun pastime — something to enjoy after a long week, a way to add excitement to watching your favorite PBA team, or just a relaxing way to spend a Sunday afternoon. That's exactly what it should be. But we also know that for some people, gambling can become a problem, and we want to be part of the solution, not the problem.

phswertr has invested in a full suite of responsible gaming tools that are accessible directly from your account settings — no need to call anyone or jump through hoops. Set your limits, take a break, or exclude yourself entirely. The controls are yours.

Remember

Gambling should never be seen as a way to earn income, recover financial losses, or solve personal problems. If you find yourself gambling for these reasons, please use our self-exclusion tools or reach out to our support team immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit into your phswertr account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, phswertr will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets.

Session Time Limits and Reality Checks

Set a maximum session duration and receive on-screen reality check reminders at regular intervals showing your total session time and net gaming activity. It's easy to lose track of time — these tools help you stay aware.

Self-Exclusion

Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from the phswertr Platform. Options range from 30 days to permanent closure. During self-exclusion, your account is locked and you will not receive any marketing communications from phswertr.

Player Protection Tools

Six built-in tools to keep your phswertr experience safe and in your control

Deposit Limits

Control exactly how much money enters your phswertr account each day, week, or month. Limits apply instantly and can only be increased after a mandatory 7-day review period — protecting you from heat-of-the-moment decisions.

Loss Limits

Set a hard ceiling on how much you can lose within any given period. Once reached, phswertr automatically pauses your wagering access until the limit period resets — no willpower required on your end.

Session Time Limits

Define how long each gaming session can last. When your time is up, phswertr will log you out automatically. Pair this with reality check pop-ups to stay fully aware of how long you've been playing.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break without fully closing your account? A cool-off period lets you pause access to phswertr for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account and balance are preserved — you just can't play during the break.

Self-Exclusion

The most powerful tool available. Self-exclusion locks your phswertr account for a minimum of 30 days, up to permanent closure. All marketing is stopped immediately. This is the right choice if gambling is causing you real harm.

Reality Check Reminders

Receive periodic on-screen notifications showing your session duration, total bets placed, and net result. These gentle nudges help you make informed decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.

Self-Assessment Quiz

Not sure if your gaming habits are healthy? Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use phswertr's responsible gaming tools or seek support.

1

Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford?

2

Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more — sometimes called "chasing losses"?

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

Do you use gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems?

If You Answered Yes to 2 or More

Your gambling habits may be causing harm. Please consider activating self-exclusion on phswertr and reaching out to a professional counselor or PAGCOR's responsible gaming support services. You are not alone, and help is available.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Understanding the warning signs is the first step toward getting help

Financial Warning Signs

Borrowing money to gamble, unpaid bills, selling personal items, or hiding financial losses from family members in Manila, Cebu, or elsewhere.

Social Warning Signs

Withdrawing from family and friends, neglecting responsibilities, lying about time or money spent gambling, or missing important events to play.

Emotional Warning Signs

Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling. Using gambling to cope with stress, loneliness, or emotional pain rather than for entertainment.

Behavioral Warning Signs

Chasing losses, increasing bet sizes to feel the same excitement, failed attempts to cut back, or continuing to gamble despite serious negative consequences.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Resources

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the primary regulatory body overseeing gambling in the Philippines. PAGCOR operates a dedicated responsible gaming program that provides support, counseling referrals, and self-exclusion registry services for Filipino players who need help managing their gambling behavior.

phswertr cooperates fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework. Players who register for PAGCOR's national self-exclusion program will also be excluded from phswertr in accordance with regulatory requirements.

PAGCOR Self-Exclusion

Register with PAGCOR's national self-exclusion program to be barred from all PAGCOR-regulated gaming venues and platforms across the Philippines.

Counseling Support

PAGCOR's responsible gaming program can refer players to licensed counselors and support groups available in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other major cities.

Need Immediate Help?

If you or someone you know needs urgent support for problem gambling, contact PAGCOR's responsible gaming hotline or visit their official government website. You can also reach phswertr support directly at [email protected] — we will connect you with the right resources without delay.

Age Restriction Policy

Strictly 21+ Only

Philippine law requires that all participants in casino-style gambling must be at least 21 years of age. phswertr enforces this requirement strictly and without exception. This is not just a legal obligation — it is a moral one. Young people are particularly vulnerable to the harms of problem gambling, and phswertr will not be a platform that contributes to that harm.

During registration, every player must confirm their age and submit valid government-issued identification as part of our Know Your Customer (KYC) process. Accepted IDs include Philippine Passport, Driver's License, UMID, SSS ID, PhilHealth ID, and Voter's ID — all of which display date of birth.

Any account found to belong to a player under 21 years of age will be immediately and permanently closed. All deposits will be returned to the originating payment method, and any winnings will be forfeited. phswertr may also report the incident to PAGCOR as required by regulation.
