Our Commitment

Play Smart. Play Safe. Play bygame.

At bygame, responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox on a compliance form — it's something we genuinely care about. We know that for most Filipinos, online gaming is a form of recreation and entertainment, a way to unwind after a long day or enjoy a bit of excitement during a quiet weekend. That's exactly what it should be.

But we also know that for a small number of players, gaming can become more than just fun. It can start to affect budgets, relationships, and daily routines. That's why bygame makes responsible gaming tools available to every registered player — not just those who ask for them.

From deposit limits and session timers to cooling-off periods and full self-exclusion, we've built practical tools directly into the platform. We want you to stay in the game for the long run — not burn out in a week. Mag-ingat tayo sa isa't isa as a gaming community.

Remember: bygame is for players aged 21 and above only. If you think your gaming habits are becoming a concern, the tools on this page are here to help — and so is our 24/7 support team.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Every tool below is available to all bygame players free of charge. You can activate or adjust them any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. A great first step for anyone who wants to keep a budget.

Session Time Limits

Set a timer so bygame reminds you when you've been playing for a certain length of time. The reminder is a gentle nudge — it won't kick you out, but it will help you stay aware of how long you've been at it.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? You can temporarily lock your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period, you won't be able to log in or place any bets. The lock is immediate and cannot be reversed early.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that gaming is seriously impacting your life, you can permanently close your bygame account through self-exclusion. Once activated, this cannot be reversed. Contact support@bygame.best to request this.

How to activate these tools: Log into your bygame account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, or contact our live support team available 24/7. All limit changes that reduce your spending take effect immediately. Increases to limits have a 24-hour cooling period before taking effect.

Warning Signs

Is Gaming Still Fun, or Is It More Than That?

Most players on bygame enjoy gaming as a leisure activity — the same way people enjoy watching basketball, going to karaoke, or hanging out at the mall. But gaming becomes a problem when it shifts from something you choose to do, to something you feel you have to do.

Here are some warning signs that might suggest your gaming habits need a second look:

  • Spending more money on gaming than you planned or can afford
  • Trying to win back money you've already lost (chasing losses)
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family members or close friends
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not playing
  • Borrowing money or using household funds specifically for gaming
  • Gaming is affecting your work, school, or personal relationships
  • You need to bet more and more to feel the same excitement
  • You've tried to cut down before but couldn't follow through

If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself — or in someone you know — it may be time to use one of bygame's responsible gaming tools, or to reach out for support. Huwag mahiyang humingi ng tulong. It's the smartest move you can make.

Safe Play Principles

Six Rules for Responsible Gaming on bygame

These aren't arbitrary rules — they're genuinely practical habits that help keep gaming enjoyable over the long term.

Set a Gaming Budget

Before you deposit, decide how much you're comfortable spending — and treat it like money spent on any other form of entertainment. Once it's gone, it's gone. Don't dip into money earmarked for rent, groceries, or bills.

Play for Fun, Not to Earn

Think of bygame the same way you'd think of a night out or a day at the mall — it costs money and it's for enjoyment. Wins are a bonus, not a guarantee. Never rely on gaming winnings to pay for necessities.

Take Regular Breaks

Long gaming sessions can cloud your judgment, especially when you've hit a losing streak. Step away, grab a snack, drink some tubig. A fresh mind makes better decisions than a frustrated one.

Never Chase Your Losses

One of the most common traps in gaming is trying to win back what you've lost by increasing your bets. This almost always leads to bigger losses. Accept the result, close the app, and come back another day.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If gaming is causing you stress, talking to a family member or close friend can help. Sometimes just voicing your concern out loud is enough to help you reset. You don't have to deal with it alone.

Don't Game When Emotional

Playing when you're stressed, drunk, upset, or exhausted increases the risk of poor decisions and regret. Save gaming for when you're in a relaxed headspace and can enjoy it properly.

Self-Assessment

Quick Check: How's Your Relationship With Gaming?

Take a moment to honestly answer the questions below. This isn't a diagnostic tool — it's just a conversation starter with yourself. If you find yourself answering "yes" to several of these, it might be time to use one of bygame's responsible gaming features.

1 Have you ever spent more on gaming than you originally planned in a single session?
2 Do you sometimes think about gaming when you're doing other things — at work, during meals, or before sleeping?
3 Have you ever tried to win back money you lost on bygame by immediately depositing and playing again?
4 Does gaming ever make you feel stressed, guilty, or worried after a session?
5 Have you kept the amount you spend on gaming secret from a partner, family member, or close friend?
6 Do you ever borrow money or use savings that were meant for other purposes to fund your gaming?
7 Have you noticed that you need to bet higher amounts to get the same level of excitement as before?
8 Have you tried to cut down or stop gaming before, but found it harder than expected?

How to read your answers: If you answered "yes" to 1–2 questions, consider using deposit limits as a precaution. If you answered "yes" to 3–4, we recommend reaching out to our support team to discuss your options. If you answered "yes" to 5 or more, please consider self-exclusion and speak with a trusted person about what you're experiencing.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Yes — decreasing your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit, on the other hand, requires a 24-hour waiting period before the change is applied. This cooling period is intentional; it gives you time to reconsider before expanding your budget.

Any funds remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to you via your registered payment method (GCash, Maya, or bank transfer), after standard verification. Pending bonuses will be cancelled. The withdrawal process typically takes a few business days to complete.

Yes, a cooling-off period is temporary. Once the selected period expires (24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days), your account automatically becomes accessible again. You don't need to contact support — just log in as normal. Note that self-exclusion is permanent and different from a cooling-off period.

bygame uses responsible gaming monitoring tools that flag certain patterns — such as extended sessions, frequent late-night play, or rapidly increasing bet sizes. If our system detects these patterns, we may proactively reach out via email or in-platform notification to check in and remind you about our available support tools.

Yes. Players must be at least 21 years old to register and play on bygame. We require identity verification for all accounts, and any account found to belong to someone under 21 will be immediately closed and any deposited funds returned to the payment source.

If you're concerned about a family member's gaming behavior, please encourage them to talk to you openly and to reach out to our support team. You can also contact us at support@bygame.best to discuss options. We take third-party concerns seriously and will follow up sensitively and confidentially.
