You are not alone — help is always available.

01Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At sgi88, responsible gaming is not just a legal checkbox — it is a core part of who we are as a platform serving Filipino players. We genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player from Manila to Mindanao, and we have built our platform with safeguards, tools, and policies designed to keep gaming enjoyable and within healthy limits.

sgi88 defines responsible gaming as the set of practices, policies, and tools that ensure our players can enjoy online casino games and sports betting in a way that is safe, informed, and sustainable. We recognize that for a small number of players, gambling can become problematic — and we take that seriously.

Our responsible gaming framework covers four key areas: prevention (stopping problem gambling before it starts), protection (tools that help players stay in control), intervention (identifying and supporting at-risk players), and education (giving players the information they need to make smart choices).

sgi88's Core Principle: Gaming on sgi88 should always be entertainment — a fun way to enjoy casino games and sports betting with Filipino friends and fellow players. The moment it stops being fun, it's time to take a break. sgi88 will always support you in doing that.


02Strict 21+ Age Policy

sgi88 enforces a strict minimum age requirement of 21 years old for all players. This is in line with Philippine law, which sets the minimum age for casino-style gambling at 21 years. No exceptions are made — ever.

Every sgi88 account registration requires age verification. Before any withdrawal can be processed, players must complete full Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, which includes submission of a valid government-issued Philippine ID (such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, or driver's license) confirming that the player is 21 years of age or older.

  • Players who provide false age information during registration will have their accounts permanently suspended and any winnings forfeited.
  • sgi88 reserves the right to request age verification documents at any time, without prior notice.
  • Any player found to be under 21 years of age will be immediately excluded from the sgi88 Platform.

⚠️ 21+ Only — No Exceptions: If you are under 21 years of age, you are not permitted to register or play on sgi88 under any circumstances. This rule exists to protect young Filipinos from the potential harms of gambling.


03Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, and many players do not realize they have a problem until it has already caused significant harm. sgi88 wants every Filipino player to be able to recognize the warning signs early.

The following table outlines common warning signs of problem gambling, categorized by severity:

Warning Sign Level
Spending more money on gambling than you planned or can afford Moderate
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble to try to win back money you've lost Serious
Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling Serious
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling Serious
Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions Moderate
Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities because of gambling Serious
Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling Serious
Spending increasing amounts of money to get the same level of excitement Moderate
Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other activities Moderate
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling Serious

If you recognize two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use sgi88's responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team immediately.


04Self-Assessment Checklist

sgi88 encourages all Filipino players to periodically check in with themselves about their gaming habits. Answer the following questions honestly — this checklist is for your own benefit and is completely private.

sgi88 Responsible Gaming Self-Check
Q1 Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?
Q2 Do you find yourself thinking about gambling when you should be focused on work, family, or other responsibilities?
Q3 Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more — and ended up losing even more?
Q4 Have you hidden your gambling activity or the amount you've spent from family members or close friends?
Q5 Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low when you are not able to gamble?
Q6 Have you borrowed money from family, friends, or financial institutions specifically to fund gambling?
Q7 Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, at work, or in your daily life in the Philippines?
Q8 Have you ever felt that you need to gamble with larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement?

What Your Answers Mean: If you answered "Yes" to one or more of these questions, it may be a sign that gambling is becoming a problem. sgi88 strongly encourages you to use our self-exclusion or deposit limit tools, or to contact our 24/7 support team for a confidential conversation about your options.


05sgi88 Player Safety Tools

sgi88 provides every registered Filipino player with a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools, available directly through your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team. These tools are free, easy to use, and take effect immediately upon request.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PHP you can deposit into your sgi88 account. Once set, limits can only be increased after a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period.

Bet Limits

Control the maximum amount you can wager on any single bet or game session on sgi88. Bet limits help you stay within your entertainment budget and avoid impulsive high-stakes decisions.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session on sgi88. When your time limit is reached, you will receive a notification and be prompted to take a break before continuing.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders during your sgi88 session showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent — keeping you grounded and aware at all times.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from sgi88 for a set period — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, your account is temporarily suspended and you cannot log in or deposit.

Activity History

Review a full log of your gaming activity, deposits, withdrawals, and session durations on sgi88 at any time. Transparency about your own habits is the first step toward responsible play.


06Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on sgi88. When you self-exclude, your sgi88 account is fully suspended for the duration you choose — you will not be able to log in, deposit, place bets, or receive any promotional communications from sgi88 during this period.

sgi88 offers the following self-exclusion options:

  • Short-Term Exclusion (1–6 months): A temporary break from sgi88. After the exclusion period ends, you may request account reactivation with a mandatory 24-hour waiting period and a responsible gaming review.
  • Long-Term Exclusion (6–12 months): A more extended break. Reactivation requires a formal request and a 7-day waiting period after the exclusion period expires.
  • Permanent Self-Exclusion: A lifelong ban from the sgi88 Platform. This decision is irreversible. Once a permanent self-exclusion is in place, sgi88 will never reactivate the account under any circumstances.

How to Self-Exclude: Contact the sgi88 support team via 24/7 live chat or email at [email protected] and request self-exclusion. Our team will process your request immediately, with no questions asked and no pressure to reconsider. Your wellbeing comes first.

During any self-exclusion period, sgi88 will also suppress all marketing emails, SMS messages, and promotional notifications to your registered contact details. If you receive any sgi88 marketing communication during your self-exclusion period, please notify our support team immediately.

Important: Self-exclusion on sgi88 applies only to the sgi88 Platform. If you are struggling with problem gambling across multiple platforms, we strongly encourage you to also register with the PAGCOR responsible gaming self-exclusion program, which covers all PAGCOR-regulated gaming venues and platforms in the Philippines.


07Deposit & Spending Limits

One of the most effective ways to keep your sgi88 gaming experience healthy is to set clear financial boundaries before you start playing. sgi88 makes it easy to set and manage deposit and spending limits directly from your account dashboard.

  • Daily Deposit Limit: The maximum amount in Philippine Peso (PHP) you can deposit into your sgi88 account within a 24-hour period.
  • Weekly Deposit Limit: A rolling 7-day cap on total deposits to your sgi88 account.
  • Monthly Deposit Limit: A calendar-month cap on total deposits, ideal for players who want to set a firm monthly entertainment budget in PHP.
  • Loss Limit: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given time period. Once your loss limit is reached, sgi88 will automatically suspend your gaming session for the remainder of that period.

Limit Reduction vs. Increase: Reducing your deposit or loss limits takes effect immediately on sgi88. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 7-day waiting period — this cooling-off period is intentional and cannot be waived. It gives you time to reconsider before raising your financial exposure.

sgi88 recommends that all Filipino players set deposit limits when they first register their account. Think of it as setting your entertainment budget for the month — just like you would for movies, dining out in BGC, or a weekend trip to Boracay. Gaming is more enjoyable when you know exactly what you are comfortable spending.

09PAGCOR & Regulatory Framework

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the primary government body responsible for regulating and licensing online gaming operations in the Philippines. PAGCOR has established a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that all licensed operators — including platforms serving Filipino players — are required to follow.

PAGCOR's responsible gaming initiatives include:

  • National Self-Exclusion Program: A centralized registry that allows Filipino players to voluntarily exclude themselves from all PAGCOR-regulated gaming venues and platforms across the Philippines.
  • Responsible Gaming Awareness Campaigns: Public education programs designed to raise awareness about problem gambling among Filipino communities in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and nationwide.
  • Operator Compliance Requirements: Mandatory responsible gaming policies, player protection tools, and staff training requirements for all PAGCOR-licensed gaming operators.
  • Age Verification Standards: Strict enforcement of the 21+ minimum age requirement across all regulated gaming platforms in the Philippines.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: Filipino players can access PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources and self-exclusion program by contacting PAGCOR directly through their official government channels. sgi88 fully supports and cooperates with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework.

sgi88 is committed to operating in a manner that is consistent with PAGCOR's responsible gaming standards and the broader goal of making online gaming in the Philippines safe, fair, and sustainable for all Filipino players.


10Protecting Minors

sgi88 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. No person under the age of 21 is permitted to register, play, or access the sgi88 Platform in any way. We implement multiple layers of age verification to enforce this policy.

If you share a device or computer with family members who are under 21 years of age, sgi88 strongly recommends the following precautions:

  • Always log out of your sgi88 account when you are not actively using it, especially on shared devices.
  • Never save your sgi88 login credentials in a browser or app on a shared device that minors can access.
  • Use device parental controls to restrict access to gaming websites on devices used by children or teenagers in your household.
  • Keep your sgi88 account details private — do not share your username, password, or account access with anyone, including family members under 21.

If you suspect that a minor has accessed or registered an sgi88 account, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. sgi88 will investigate and take immediate action, including permanent account closure and forfeiture of any associated funds.

Parental Responsibility: Account holders are fully responsible for ensuring that no person under 21 years of age accesses their sgi88 account. Allowing a minor to gamble on sgi88 is a serious violation of our Terms & Conditions and may have legal consequences under Philippine law.
