At 98vipph, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. Our Responsible Gaming program gives every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable. Because the best kind of win is one that doesn't cost you more than you can afford.
Whether you're playing slots in Manila, betting on the PBA in Cebu, or enjoying bingo in Davao — 98vipph has your back with a full suite of player protection features built right into the platform.
98vipph gives you six powerful tools to manage your gaming activity. All of them are free, available 24/7, and can be activated directly from your account settings — no waiting, no hassle.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set a maximum session duration so the platform automatically reminds you — or logs you out — after a specified period of continuous play. Whether it's 30 minutes or 3 hours, you decide how long each gaming session lasts. Great for players in Quezon City and Makati who play during lunch breaks.
Enable periodic on-screen notifications that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session. Reality checks are a gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue — keeping you grounded and in control at all times.
Need a short break? Request a temporary account suspension for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The suspension activates immediately and cannot be reversed before the chosen end date.
For players who feel their gambling is becoming a serious problem, self-exclusion blocks all access to the 98vipph platform for a minimum of six (6) months. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours and are irreversible during the exclusion period. This is our strongest player protection tool.
Our responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via live chat and email. Whether you need help setting limits, understanding your options, or just want to talk to someone about your gaming habits, we're here — no judgment, just support.
Problem gambling can affect anyone — from casual players in Manila to regular bettors in Cebu. The key is recognizing the warning signs early, before gambling stops being entertainment and starts causing real harm to you and your family.
If you recognize three or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use 98vipph's self-exclusion tool or reach out to our support team immediately.
Remember: Gambling is meant to be entertainment. If it stops feeling fun and starts feeling like a necessity, that's a sign to step back and seek help. There is no shame in asking for support — it's the smart move.
Requesting self-exclusion on 98vipph is straightforward and takes less than five minutes. Once submitted, your request is processed within 24 hours and the exclusion is irreversible for the duration you select. There are no fees, no penalties, and no questions asked.
Access your 98vipph account using your registered email and password. Navigate to the Account Settings section from the main menu.
Inside Account Settings, locate the Responsible Gaming tab. This is where all player protection tools — including deposit limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion — are managed.
Choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. We recommend choosing a longer period if you feel your gambling has become a serious concern.
Review your selection and confirm. You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address. Your account will be suspended within 24 hours and all marketing communications will be stopped immediately.
If you have difficulty accessing your account settings or need immediate assistance, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat or email at [email protected] and we will process your self-exclusion request directly.

No exceptions. No workarounds. 98vipph enforces the 21+ age requirement on every account, every time.
Under Philippine law and 98vipph's own platform rules, all players must be at least 21 years of age to register, deposit, and play. This is not just a legal requirement — it is a core part of our commitment to protecting young Filipinos from the potential harms of gambling.
Every new 98vipph account goes through a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process that includes age verification using a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as a passport, driver's license, or PhilSys national ID. Accounts that cannot verify the 21+ age requirement are permanently closed and any funds are returned.
Under 21?
You are not permitted to use the 98vipph platform under any circumstances. If you are under 21 and have accessed the platform, please contact us immediately to close your account.
Parents & Guardians
