🛡️ Play Responsibly

Responsible Gaming
at th18

Gaming should always be fun — never stressful. th18 is committed to giving every Filipino player the tools and knowledge to stay in control.

21+

th18 strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement in line with Philippine gaming regulations. Gambling is for adults only.

Gambling Can Be Addictive

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, please reach out for help immediately. th18 provides self-exclusion tools and supports access to professional counseling services. Remember: it's okay to ask for help, and you don't have to face this alone.

Our Commitment to You

At th18, responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. We genuinely care about the well-being of every player on our platform, from Luzon to Mindanao. Whether you're spinning slots in Makati, playing bingo in Cebu, or catching a virtual sports match in Davao, we want your experience to be enjoyable, safe, and within your means.

We understand that for most players, online gaming is a form of entertainment — a way to unwind after a long day, enjoy some friendly competition, or try your luck for a bit of extra excitement. That's exactly what it should be. But we also know that for some people, gambling can become a problem. That's why th18 has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives players real tools to manage their play.

Our responsible gaming program is built around four key principles: prevention, awareness, control, and support. Every feature we offer — from deposit limits to self-exclusion — is designed with these principles in mind.

Strict 21+ Age Policy

In the Philippines, the legal age for casino-style gambling is 21 years old. th18 strictly enforces this requirement across all games and services on our platform. No exceptions.

Age Verification: All new th18 accounts are subject to identity verification. We require government-issued ID (such as a Philippine passport, driver's license, or national ID) to confirm that every player is at least 21 years of age before they can deposit or play for real money.

If we discover that a player has misrepresented their age during registration, their account will be immediately suspended, all winnings will be forfeited, and any deposits will be returned. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and will cooperate fully with PAGCOR and law enforcement in any related investigation.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites. If you suspect that a minor has accessed th18, please contact our support team immediately.

Quick Self-Assessment

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to take a break or seek support.

1

Do you find yourself spending more money on gambling than you originally planned?

2

Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?

3

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

4

Have you tried to hide your gambling activity from family members or close friends?

5

Do you find yourself chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you've lost?

6

Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships, work, or daily responsibilities?

Remember: Recognizing a problem is the first and most important step. th18's self-exclusion and limit tools are available 24/7 — no judgment, no waiting period.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, which makes it easy to miss the early warning signs. Here are some common indicators to watch out for:

  • Spending more than you can afford to lose on a regular basis
  • Using money meant for rent, bills, or groceries to gamble
  • Taking out loans or using credit cards specifically to fund gambling
  • Selling personal belongings to get gambling money
  • Constantly thinking about where to get more money to play

  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape stress, problems, or negative emotions
  • Lying to family and friends about how much time or money you spend gambling
  • Feeling guilty or ashamed after gambling sessions
  • Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back or stop gambling

  • Neglecting family, friends, or work responsibilities because of gambling
  • Arguments with loved ones about money or time spent gambling
  • Withdrawing from social activities you used to enjoy
  • Prioritizing gambling over important life events or commitments
  • Feeling isolated or misunderstood by people around you

How to Use Self-Exclusion at th18

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel they need a break. When you self-exclude on th18, your account is suspended for the duration you choose — and you won't be able to log in, deposit, or place bets during that period.

1
Log In to Your th18 Account

Access your account settings from the main menu after logging in to the platform.

2
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings

Find the "Responsible Gaming" section in your account dashboard. This is where all your limit and exclusion tools are located.

3
Choose Your Exclusion Period

Select a self-exclusion period: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. All options take effect immediately.

4
Confirm Your Request

Confirm your self-exclusion request. You'll receive an email confirmation, and your account will be suspended right away — no cooling-off period.

5
Need Help? Contact Support

If you're having trouble accessing the self-exclusion tool, our 24/7 customer support team can process the request on your behalf immediately.

Important: Self-exclusion requests are irreversible for the chosen duration. Once activated, th18 staff cannot override or lift the exclusion early — this is by design, to protect you.

Tips for Healthy, Enjoyable Play

Most players on th18 enjoy gaming as a fun pastime without any issues. Here are some practical tips to keep it that way:

  • Set a budget before you play — decide how much you're comfortable spending and stick to it. Think of it like a budget for a night out with friends.
  • Set a time limit — use th18's session time reminders to keep track of how long you've been playing. It's easy to lose track of time when you're having fun.
  • Never chase losses — if you've hit your loss limit for the day, log out and come back another time. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse.
  • Don't gamble when emotional — avoid playing when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. These states can lead to poor decisions.
  • Balance gambling with other activities — gaming is more enjoyable when it's one of many things you do for fun, not the only one.
  • Take regular breaks — step away from the screen every hour or so. A short break helps you stay clear-headed and in control.
  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose — never use money set aside for essential expenses like food, rent, or your children's education.
