// PLAYER PROTECTION FRAMEWORK
At 8kk, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, debt, or harm. Our responsible gaming framework gives every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.
21+ ONLY — AGE RESTRICTION STRICTLY ENFORCED. The 8kk platform is exclusively available to players aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. If you are under 21, please do not attempt to register or use this platform.
// OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
Responsible gaming at 8kk is not just a policy page — it is built into the platform itself. Here are the six pillars of our player protection framework.
Players who feel they need a break can activate self-exclusion directly from their account settings. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or a permanent exclusion. Once activated, access to the platform is immediately restricted.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your 8kk account to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and any increase requires a 48-hour cooling-off period before it applies.
Lose track of time? 8kk sends in-session notifications after 30, 60, and 90 minutes of continuous play. You can also set a custom session time limit from your account settings so the platform reminds you when it is time to take a break.
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period. Once your loss limit is reached, 8kk will automatically pause your gaming session for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful for players who want a hard financial boundary.
At regular intervals during your gaming session, 8kk displays a reality check pop-up showing your net session result, time played, and a prompt to review your activity. These prompts are designed to keep you grounded and aware of your actual gaming behavior.
8kk's responsible gaming support team is available 24/7 via live chat. Whether you need help activating a tool, want to discuss your gaming habits, or need a referral to professional counseling resources in the Philippines, our team is here to help — no judgment, no pressure.
// ACCOUNT CONTROL TOOLS
Every 8kk account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls. These tools are free, always available, and designed to put you — not the platform — in charge of your gaming experience.
Filipino players can access all responsible gaming tools from the Account Settings panel after logging in. No waiting period, no fees, and no questions asked when you choose to limit or pause your activity.
Set a cap on how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Reductions apply instantly; increases require a 48-hour review period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a given period. When the limit is hit, your session is paused automatically until the period resets.
Set a maximum continuous play duration. 8kk will notify you at intervals and automatically end your session when the limit is reached.
Take a short break from the platform — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is temporarily suspended during this period. You can request a cooling-off at any time from account settings.
For players who need a longer break or want to stop gambling entirely, self-exclusion blocks access to the 8kk platform for 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Permanent exclusion cannot be reversed.
// KNOW THE SIGNS
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognizing the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, please reach out to our support team or a professional counselor.
Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose, or borrowing money to fund gaming activity.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling.
Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about the extent of your gambling activity.
Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time spent gambling.
Using gambling as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of depression or anxiety.
Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement.
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gambling on your own.
// SELF-ASSESSMENT TOOL
Answer these questions honestly to get a sense of whether your gaming habits are staying healthy. This is not a diagnostic tool — it is a starting point for reflection.
Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are doing other things?
Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more?
Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships with family or friends?
Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from people close to you?
Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low when you are not able to gamble?
// OUR RESPONSIBLE GAMING POLICY
At 8kk, responsible gaming is not an afterthought — it is a core part of how we operate. We understand that for the vast majority of Filipino players, online gaming at 8kk is a fun and entertaining pastime. But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can become a problem. Our job is to make sure every player has the information and tools they need to keep gaming enjoyable and within healthy limits.
Responsible gaming means playing within your means, treating gambling as entertainment rather than a source of income, and knowing when to stop. It means setting a budget before you start, sticking to it, and never chasing losses. At 8kk, we define responsible gaming as any approach to gambling that keeps the activity fun, controlled, and free from negative consequences in your personal, financial, or professional life.
8kk pledges to: always verify the age of every player before allowing account registration; provide clear and accessible responsible gaming tools to all account holders; train our support staff to recognize and respond to signs of problem gambling; never market to players who have self-excluded or set marketing restrictions; and cooperate fully with PAGCOR and other relevant Philippine authorities on player protection matters.
The minimum age to use the 8kk platform is 21 years, in line with Philippine regulations governing casino-style online gambling. Age verification is mandatory during the registration process and again during KYC verification. Players who cannot verify their age will not be permitted to deposit, play, or withdraw funds. If we discover that a player under 21 has registered, the account will be immediately suspended and any funds returned.
We also encourage parents and guardians in the Philippines to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you believe a minor in your household has accessed 8kk, please contact our support team immediately.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel their gambling is getting out of hand. When you activate self-exclusion on 8kk, your account is immediately restricted — you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets for the duration of the exclusion period. You will also be removed from all marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion.
To activate self-exclusion, log in to your 8kk account, navigate to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gaming section. Choose your preferred exclusion period and confirm. If you are unable to log in or need immediate assistance, contact our 24/7 live chat support team and they will activate the exclusion on your behalf within minutes.
Problem gambling is recognized as a behavioral health issue in the Philippines and globally. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related problems, professional help is available. The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in Mandaluyong City offers mental health services and crisis support. Community-based mental health programs are also available in Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and other major cities across the country.
8kk does not provide clinical counseling services, but our responsible gaming support team can help connect you with appropriate resources and can activate account restrictions immediately to give you the space you need to seek help.
