🛡️ Player Protection

th18 Responsible Gaming

At th18, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. We are fully committed to responsible gaming practices that protect Filipino players — from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City — and ensure that the th18 experience stays enjoyable for everyone.

⚠️

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop. — th18 supports PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines and the welfare of every Filipino player on our platform.

Our Commitment to You

Responsible gaming is not just a checkbox for th18 — it is a core part of how we operate. Here are the six pillars of our player protection program.

🔞
Strict 21+ Age Policy

th18 enforces a hard 21-year minimum age requirement for all players, in line with Philippine gaming law. Every account is verified through KYC before any real-money play is permitted.

🚫
Self-Exclusion Tools

Players who feel they need a break can activate self-exclusion at any time — for a set period or permanently. Once activated, access to the th18 Platform is immediately restricted.

💰
Deposit & Loss Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit and loss limits directly from your th18 account settings. These limits help you stay in control of your spending and gaming budget.

⏱️
Session Time Reminders

th18 sends automatic session time reminders so you always know how long you have been playing. You can also set session time limits to keep your gaming sessions healthy and balanced.

🧠
Reality Checks

Regular reality check pop-ups remind you of your net gaming activity during a session — including time played and net win or loss — so you can make informed decisions about continuing.

🤝
24/7 Support Access

Our dedicated responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via live chat. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to us anytime — walang judgment, lagi kaming nandito.

21+

Age Restriction Policy

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino gaming is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. th18 enforces this requirement without exception.

🔞 21+ Only 🛡️ KYC Verified 📋 PAGCOR Aligned

Why 21+ Matters

The 21+ age requirement exists to protect young Filipinos from the potential harms of gambling before they have the maturity and financial independence to make fully informed decisions. th18 takes this responsibility seriously.

Every new th18 account must pass a Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification process before any real-money deposits or gameplay are permitted. This process requires submission of a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, driver's license, or SSS/GSIS card — to confirm that the player is at least 21 years old.

Accounts found to belong to players under 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be returned, and the case will be reported to the appropriate authorities in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. There are no exceptions to this policy at th18.

⚠️ Parents and Guardians: If you believe a minor has registered on th18, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take immediate action to close the account and return any funds.

Player Protection Tools

th18 gives every registered player access to a full suite of responsible gaming tools — all available directly from your account dashboard, no need to contact support.

📉
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your th18 account per day, week, or month. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and after a 24-hour cooling-off period when increased.

📊
Loss Limits

Cap the maximum amount you can lose within a set time period. Once your loss limit is reached, th18 will automatically prevent further real-money gameplay until the period resets.

Session Limits

Define the maximum duration of a single gaming session. When your session limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out and prompted to take a break before playing again.

❄️
Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in or place any bets on the th18 Platform.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion can be set for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.

Reality Checks

Receive automatic pop-up reminders at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — showing your session duration and net gaming result so you can stay grounded.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing the warning signs early can make a big difference. If you recognize any of these patterns in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help.

💸

Spending more money on gambling than you can afford, or borrowing money to fund gaming sessions.

😰

Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gambling or when you try to cut back.

🔄

Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.

🙈

Hiding your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues out of shame or guilt.

Spending increasing amounts of time gambling, to the point where it affects work, school, or relationships.

🧩

Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions rather than for entertainment and fun.

💚 You Are Not Alone: Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across the Philippines. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. th18's support team is here for you 24/7 — reach us at [email protected].

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Common questions from Filipino players about th18's responsible gaming program and player protection tools.

The minimum age to register and play on th18 is 21 years old. This is in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations and PAGCOR guidelines. All accounts are subject to KYC identity verification to confirm age before real-money play is permitted. Accounts belonging to players under 21 will be immediately closed and funds returned.

You can activate self-exclusion directly from your th18 account settings under the "Responsible Gaming" tab. Choose a period of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is restricted immediately and cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. You can also contact our 24/7 support team to activate self-exclusion on your behalf.

Yes. th18 allows you to set daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits from your account settings. When you reduce a limit, it takes effect immediately. When you request an increase, a 24-hour cooling-off period applies before the new limit becomes active — this gives you time to reconsider. Loss limits and session time limits work in the same way.

A reality check is an automatic pop-up notification that appears during your gaming session at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. It shows you how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session. You can choose to continue playing or end your session. Reality checks are designed to keep you aware of your gaming activity and help you make informed decisions.

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, help is available. You can contact th18's responsible gaming support team 24/7 via live chat or email at [email protected]. PAGCOR also operates responsible gaming programs and can direct you to professional counseling services available across the Philippines, including in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other major cities. Remember: gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

A cooling-off period is a short-term break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in or place bets, but the restriction lifts automatically when the period ends. Self-exclusion is a longer-term commitment — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent — and cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. If you are unsure which option is right for you, our support team can help you decide.
