At i888, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep their gaming experience safe and enjoyable.
Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, please use the self-exclusion tools available in your i888 account or contact our 24/7 support team immediately.
Our Commitment
Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from the i888 Platform. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period — giving you a real, enforceable break from gaming.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps directly from your account settings. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered instantly — increases require a 7-day cooling-off period.
Set a maximum session duration so the Platform automatically logs you out after your chosen time. A reminder notification appears 10 minutes before your session limit is reached.
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during the current session — keeping you grounded and aware at all times.
Need a short break without full self-exclusion? Activate a 24-hour, 7-day, or 30-day cooling-off period. Your account is suspended for the duration — no logins, no deposits, no play.
Our trained responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via live chat. Whether you need help activating a limit or just want to talk, we are here — no judgment, just support.
Responsible gaming means enjoying online casino games — slots, bingo, live dealer tables, and more — as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or escape problems. At i888, we want every Filipino player from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City, to have a positive, controlled gaming experience that stays within their personal limits.
The reality is that gambling, like any form of entertainment, carries risk. For most players, it stays fun and manageable. But for some, it can develop into a habit that affects their finances, relationships, and mental health. i888 takes this seriously. That is why we have built a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the Platform — not hidden in a menu somewhere, but front and centre in your account settings.
i888 strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement for all players in the Philippines, in line with PAGCOR regulations and Philippine gaming law. We verify the age of every player during the registration and KYC process. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately closed and all funds returned.
If you are a parent or guardian, we strongly encourage you to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. Keep your i888 login credentials private and never share your account with anyone under 21.
Problem gambling does not always look the same for everyone. It can develop gradually, and many players do not realise there is an issue until it has already affected their daily life. Here are some warning signs to watch out for — in yourself or someone you care about:
Ask Yourself Honestly
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to use our self-exclusion tools or speak with our support team right away.
All responsible gaming tools at i888 are available directly from your account dashboard. Here is how to get started:
Log in to your i888 account and navigate to Account Settings from the top-right menu.
Select "Responsible Gaming" from the settings menu to access all available tools in one place.
Choose your preferred tool — deposit limit, session limit, cooling-off period, or self-exclusion — and set your parameters.
Confirm your selection. Restrictions take effect immediately. You will receive a confirmation email to your registered address.
Contact support anytime via 24/7 live chat if you need help activating any tool or if you want to discuss your situation confidentially.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on the i888 Platform. When you activate self-exclusion, your account is immediately suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or play for the duration of the exclusion period. i888 will also suppress all marketing communications to your registered email and mobile number during this time.
Self-exclusion periods available at i888 are: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, and permanent exclusion. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed under any circumstances. Temporary exclusions cannot be shortened once activated — this is by design, to give you a genuine, enforceable break.
If you have self-excluded and attempt to open a new account, i888 will close that account immediately upon detection. We use identity verification and KYC data to enforce self-exclusion across all accounts linked to your identity.
One of the most important principles of responsible gaming is to only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose. At i888, we recommend treating your gaming budget the same way you would treat a budget for any other form of entertainment — set an amount you are comfortable spending, and stick to it.
Never gamble with money earmarked for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses. Never borrow money to fund gambling. If you find yourself doing either of these things, please activate a deposit limit or self-exclusion immediately and reach out to our support team.
i888 accepts deposits via GCash, Maya, and Philippine bank transfers (BPI, BDO, Metrobank, UnionBank, and others). All transactions are processed in Philippine Peso (₱). We do not accept credit card deposits for gambling, in line with current Philippine payment regulations.
i888 operates in accordance with the responsible gaming standards set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). We are committed to maintaining a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all Filipino players. Our responsible gaming programme is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect the latest PAGCOR guidelines and best practices in player protection.
As part of our PAGCOR-aligned responsible gaming commitment, i888 displays the following mandatory advisory on all pages of the Platform: Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

PAGCOR Advisory
"Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop."
This advisory is issued in accordance with PAGCOR responsible gaming guidelines and applies to all players on the i888 Platform.
21+ only. Players must be at least 21 years of age to register and play on i888.
Stay Sharp
Decide how long you will play before you start — and stop when the time is up, win or lose. Use i888's session timer to automate this.
Only play with disposable income — money left over after all your bills, savings, and essentials are covered. Never chase losses with extra deposits.
Treat gaming as entertainment, the same way you would a movie or a night out with friends. Winnings are a bonus — not an income strategy.
Avoid gaming when you are stressed, upset, or trying to escape a problem. Emotional gambling leads to poor decisions and bigger losses.
