Our Philosophy: Entertainment First
Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment, not a way to make money.
- Never chase your losses.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose (like rent, bills, or tuition).
- Never view gambling as a solution to financial problems.
We want you to enjoy the thrill of the win, but also accept the risk of loss as part of the game.
Tools to Help You Stay in Control
We empower you to manage your gaming activity. LEO888 offers several gambling limits and features that you can set up within your account or by contacting Customer Support.
1. Deposit Limits
Control your spending before you even start playing. You can set a cap on how much you can deposit within a specific timeframe:
- Daily Limit
- Weekly Limit
- Monthly Limit
- Once you reach this limit, you will not be able to deposit more until the period resets.
2. Session Time Limits
Lose track of time easily? Set a session limit. You will be automatically logged out or notified when your selected playtime (e.g., 1 hour) is up.
3. Reality Checks
We can send you a pop-up notification at regular intervals (e.g., every 60 minutes) showing you how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost during the session. This helps you step back and reassess.
4. Account History
Transparency is key. You have full access to your transaction and gameplay history, allowing you to track exactly how much you have spent and played over time.
Need a Break? Self-Exclusion Options
If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, or if you just need to step away, we support self exclusion Philippines standards.
- Cool-Off Period: Take a short break for 24 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. Your account will be temporarily suspended.
- Self-Exclusion: This is a stronger measure. You can request to have your account locked for a longer period (6 months, 1 year, or permanently).
- During this time, you cannot login, deposit, or play.
- We will stop sending you marketing materials.
- To activate this, please contact our 24/7 Support Team immediately.
Recognizing the Signs of Problem Gambling
It is important to be honest with yourself. Ask yourself these questions:
- Do you spend more time or money on gambling than you intended?
- Do you gamble to escape from worry, trouble, or boredom?
- Have you ever borrowed money to gamble?
- Have you lied to friends or family about how much you gamble?
- Do you feel anxious or depressed after gambling?
If you answered “YES” to any of these, you may be at risk. We strongly encourage you to use our limitation tools or seek professional help.
External Help & Resources
You are not alone. There are professional organizations dedicated to helping individuals with gambling issues. We recommend the following free and confidential services:
- Gambling Therapy: A global service offering practical advice and emotional support.
- GamCare: Leading provider of information, advice, and support for anyone affected by gambling harms.
- PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: Refer to the official PAGCOR website for local resources available in the Philippines.
Protecting Minors (18+ Only)
LEO888 strictly prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from creating an account or playing on our site.
- We perform verification checks (KYC) to confirm age.
- If we discover a user is under 18, the account will be closed and funds forfeited.
Advice for Parents:
If you share your device with minors, we recommend using filtering software such as Net Nanny or CyberPatrol to block access to gambling sites.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How do I set a deposit limit?
A: You can often set this in your “My Account” / “Responsible Gaming” settings tab. Alternatively, contact Live Chat, and our agents will set it for you immediately.
Q: Can I remove my self-exclusion early?
A: Generally, no. To ensure the effectiveness of the self exclusion Philippines policy, requests to reopen accounts before the agreed period ends are typically denied or subject to a strict “cooling-off” review period (e.g., 24 hours after the request).
Q: Is my gaming activity private?
A: Yes. We respect your privacy and data security. However, we monitor activity to detect potential problem gambling behaviors as part of our regulatory duty.
