Our Responsible Gaming Tools

phalaro gives every registered player direct access to a full suite of responsible gaming controls — all available from your account dashboard, no waiting required. These tools are here for you, and we encourage you to use them proactively.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your phalaro account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 7-day cooling period — decreasing it is instant.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set period. When your loss limit is reached, phalaro will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming within budget.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration and receive an in-platform notification when your time is up. It is easy to lose track of time when you are in the zone — this tool keeps you aware and in control of how long you play each session.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break without fully closing your account? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your phalaro account for a chosen duration — 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit, or wager.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, you can request a self-exclusion from phalaro for a minimum of 6 months, up to a permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will be removed from all marketing communications. This cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.

Marketing Opt-Out

You can opt out of all promotional communications from phalaro at any time — including bonus offers, free spin notifications, and event announcements. Simply update your communication preferences in your account settings or contact our support team.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. Recognizing the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help. Ask yourself honestly: do any of the following apply to you?

Do you find yourself gambling with money you cannot afford to lose — money meant for rent, bills, or daily expenses?

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

Have you tried to win back money you have lost by gambling more — also known as "chasing losses"?

Do you hide your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or wherever you are based?

Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or financial situation?

Do you feel a need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?

Do you think about gambling frequently — planning your next session, reliving past wins, or thinking about how to get more money to gamble?

If you answered yes to two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to use phalaro's self-exclusion tool and seek professional support. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

The minimum age to register and play at phalaro is 21 years old, in accordance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations governing online gambling. phalaro conducts mandatory age verification during the KYC process.

Log in to your phalaro account, go to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gaming section. From there, choose Deposit Limits and set your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly limit in Philippine Peso (₱). The limit takes effect immediately. Remember: reducing a limit is instant, but increasing one requires a 7-day waiting period.

No. Once a self-exclusion is confirmed, it cannot be reversed or shortened during the exclusion period. This is by design — the purpose of self-exclusion is to provide a firm, reliable barrier during a difficult time. After the exclusion period ends, you may contact phalaro support to discuss reactivation, which includes a mandatory review process.

Any remaining balance in your phalaro account at the time of self-exclusion will be held securely. You may request a withdrawal of your balance by contacting our support team. phalaro will process the withdrawal to your registered payment method (GCash, Maya, or bank account) after standard verification checks.

phalaro complies with all PAGCOR reporting requirements, which may include sharing certain player data with regulatory authorities as required by law. Self-exclusion requests may be reported to PAGCOR's exclusion registry where applicable, to help prevent excluded players from accessing other licensed platforms. For more details, refer to our Privacy Policy.
