Gaming should always be a source of entertainment, not stress. phcity is committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience safe, balanced, and enjoyable at all times.
At phcity, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is built into how we operate. We believe every Filipino player deserves a platform that actively supports healthy gaming habits, provides clear information about risk, and makes it easy to access help when needed. The tools and guidelines on this page are available to all registered members at no cost.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings at any time. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until a mandatory cooling-off period has passed. This gives you full control over how much you spend on the platform each period. If you ever feel your current limits are too high, you can lower them instantly with no waiting period. We strongly encourage all Filipino players to set these limits when they first register, before they start playing.
Losing track of time is one of the most common ways gaming sessions become longer than intended. phcity allows you to set session time reminders that will alert you after a chosen period of play, so you can take a break, reassess, and decide whether to continue. These reminders are a simple but effective way to stay aware of how long you have been playing. You can configure your preferred reminder interval from your account dashboard at any time. Taking regular breaks is one of the healthiest habits any player can build.
If you feel you need a break from gaming, you can activate a cool-off period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks, during which your account will be temporarily suspended. For players who need a longer break, a full self-exclusion option is available, which locks your account for a minimum period and prevents re-registration during that time. Self-exclusion requests are processed promptly and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. This tool is designed for players who recognise they need distance from the platform and want a firm boundary in place. Reaching out for this kind of support is a sign of strength, and our team is here to help you through the process.
phcity strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 21 from registering or playing on the platform, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. Age verification is required during the registration process, and we reserve the right to request additional documentation at any time if we have reason to believe an account holder may be underage. If you share a device with younger family members, we recommend using parental control software to prevent access to gaming sites. Any account found to belong to an underage player will be closed immediately and all funds returned. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a responsibility we take seriously across every aspect of our platform.
Gaming becomes a problem when it stops being fun and starts affecting your daily life, finances, or relationships. The following signs may indicate that your gaming habits need attention.
Spending more money than you can afford to lose, or chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to recover.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or when you try to cut down on gaming.
Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time spent gaming.
Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for essential expenses such as rent or food to fund gaming.
Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends, or feeling guilt and shame about how much time or money you spend.
Repeatedly trying to stop or reduce gaming without success, or returning to the platform shortly after deciding to quit.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please do not wait to seek help. You can use the self-exclusion tool in your phcity account settings right now, or reach out to a professional support organisation. Problem gambling is a recognised condition that responds well to early intervention — the sooner you act, the easier recovery becomes. Our support team can also guide you to appropriate resources available in the Philippines. You are not alone, and help is always within reach.
