Safe Play

rm98 Responsible Gaming

At rm98, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress or financial hardship. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to play safely and within their means.

21+

The rm98 platform is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. This is a firm requirement under Philippine gaming regulations. No exceptions.

Player Tools

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

rm98 gives you direct control over your gaming activity. These tools are available in your account settings at any time — no waiting, no hassle.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your rm98 account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Decide how long you want to play in a single session. rm98 will send you a reminder when your chosen time is up, and can automatically log you out so you stay in control of how much time you spend on the platform.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your rm98 account will be temporarily suspended and you won't be able to log in or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, rm98 offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you're comfortable losing over a given period. rm98 will stop you from placing further bets once your loss limit is reached, helping you avoid chasing losses in the heat of the moment.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in your current session. A quick reality check goes a long way toward keeping your gaming in perspective.

Awareness

Know the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, age, or background. The earlier you recognize the signs, the easier it is to get back on track. Here are some red flags to watch out for:

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford.

Borrowing money from family, friends, or loan apps (like those popular in Manila and Cebu) to fund your bets.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not gambling.

Chasing losses — placing bigger bets to try to win back money you've already lost.

Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling.

Lying to loved ones about how much time or money you spend on gambling.

Using gambling as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems.

If two or more of these sound familiar, it may be time to take a step back and use rm98's responsible gaming tools — or reach out for professional support.

Best Practices

Tips for Playing Responsibly

Whether you're betting on PBA games, spinning slots, or playing bingo on rm98, these habits will help keep your gaming experience positive and sustainable.

Set a strict budget before you start playing and stick to it — treat it like a night out, not an investment.
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use rent money, grocery funds, or emergency savings.
Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen, grab a snack, and come back with a clear head.
Don't chase losses. If you've hit your limit for the day, log out and come back another time.
Keep track of how much time you spend on rm98. Use the session timer tool to stay aware.
Avoid gambling when you're stressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Your judgment won't be at its best.
Talk openly with someone you trust if you feel your gambling is getting out of hand. There's no shame in asking for help.
Remember: the house always has an edge. Gambling is entertainment, not a reliable way to earn money.
Use rm98's deposit and loss limits proactively — set them before you feel you need them, not after.
If you're a parent or guardian, use device parental controls to prevent underage access to the rm98 platform.

Age Policy

Strict 21+ Age Requirement

21+

Philippine Legal Age for Casino-Style Gambling

Under Philippine gaming regulations, participation in casino-style online gambling is restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. rm98 strictly enforces this requirement across all games and betting activities on the platform — including slots, bingo, live casino, sports betting, and all other rm98 products.

During registration, rm98 requires all players to submit valid government-issued identification to verify their age and identity. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be immediately suspended and any funds returned in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor may have accessed the rm98 platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

rm98 supports the responsible gaming framework promoted by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation). Filipino players seeking additional guidance, counselling, or self-exclusion support through national programs are encouraged to reach out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources directly through official government channels.
