Online gaming should be enjoyable — a form of entertainment that fits within your life, not something that takes over it. This page explains the tools available to you on onlinesabong, practical habits for staying in control, and where to get help if you ever need it.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly PHP deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, further deposits are blocked until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately — increases have a cooling-off period before they activate.
Configure in-session alerts that notify you when you have been playing for a set amount of time. Whether you are in the middle of slots, a live casino table, or following a PBA bet, reminders prompt you to take a break and reassess.
If you need a break, you can exclude your account from all gaming activity for a set period — from a few days to several weeks. During exclusion, your account cannot be used to place bets or make deposits.
Players who feel they need a long-term break can request permanent account exclusion through our support team. This cannot be reversed for a minimum cooling-off period, giving you real time away from the platform.
Your account gives you access to a full history of your deposits, withdrawals, and bet records. Reviewing your own activity regularly is one of the most practical habits for staying aware of your actual spending rather than going on feel alone.
Our support team can help you activate any of the above tools, adjust your account settings, or connect you with the information you need. If you are unsure how to use any responsible gaming feature, reach out and someone will assist you directly.
Responsible gaming means engaging with online gaming as a form of entertainment — one that you choose and control, rather than one that controls you. It means setting limits before you start, knowing when to stop, and keeping gaming activity separate from money that you need for everyday essentials like rent, food, and transportation.
At onlinesabong, we want players to enjoy slots, live casino, fish games, sports betting, and every other category in the Game Lobby — but only in a way that is sustainable and enjoyable in the long run. That means being honest with yourself about your own gaming habits, and using the tools available to you when you need them.
No game on onlinesabong guarantees a win. All online gaming involves real money and real risk. The house edge means that over time, most players who chase losses will lose more than they intended. This is not a flaw — it is how games of chance work, and understanding it is the foundation of responsible play.
These habits are simple but effective. They are the same principles behind most responsible gaming frameworks and are worth building into your routine from the start — not just when things have already gone wrong.
Log in to your account, go to Account Settings, and look for the Responsible Gaming or Deposit Limit section. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit in PHP that reflects what you can genuinely afford to put towards gaming entertainment. Once set, the limit applies immediately. If you want to increase your limit later, a mandatory waiting period applies before the change takes effect — this is intentional, to prevent impulsive decisions made during a losing session.
In the same Responsible Gaming section, you can set a session duration after which you will receive an alert. The alert does not force you to stop — it simply reminds you how long you have been playing, so the decision to continue or take a break remains yours. Many players find a 60 or 90-minute reminder useful, especially during longer live casino or sports betting sessions.
If you feel that gaming is becoming more of a stress than an enjoyment, a temporary self-exclusion lets you step away without permanently closing your account. You can set a period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks. During exclusion, deposits and bets are blocked. When the period ends, your account is reactivated automatically if you choose to return.
If you feel you need a longer or permanent break, contact the onlinesabong support team directly. Permanent exclusion is taken seriously — once activated, a significant cooling-off period applies before the account can be reactivated, and in many cases the exclusion is indefinite. This tool exists for players who recognise that they need real distance from gaming, and we treat those requests with respect and without judgment.
Problem gambling does not only affect the player. If you are concerned about the gaming habits of a family member or someone close to you — whether they are in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines — there are things you can do.
If you answered yes to two or more of these, consider using the deposit limit or self-exclusion tools in your account, or reach out to our support team.
