Our Commitment to You

dream88 takes responsible gaming seriously. We know that for most players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines, online gaming is a form of entertainment — a way to unwind and enjoy some excitement after a long day. And that is exactly how it should stay.

Problem gambling is a real concern, and dream88 is proactive about it. We have built a suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform so that every player has the power to set boundaries, take breaks, and stay in control of their gaming habits at all times.

Remember: Gambling should never be seen as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses. If gaming stops being fun, it is time to take a break.

Player Protection First

Every feature on dream88 is designed with player safety in mind. From account verification to transaction monitoring, we actively look out for signs of problem gambling.

Strict Age Verification

dream88 requires all players to be 21 years or older. We verify age and identity during registration and may request additional documents at any time.

Self-Management Tools

Set your own deposit limits, session time reminders, and cooling-off periods directly from your dream88 account settings — no waiting, no hassle.

Wellbeing Support

Our 24/7 Filipino support team is trained to assist players who may be experiencing difficulties. Reach out anytime via live chat — we are here to help.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

dream88 gives you direct control over your gaming activity. Here are the tools available to every registered player on the platform.

1
Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your dream88 account. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. You can lower your limit at any time with instant effect.

2
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that dream88 will automatically remind you — or log you out — when your chosen time is up. This helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing and avoid losing track of time.

3
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set period. Once your loss limit is reached, dream88 will restrict further play for that period. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming within budget.

4
Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your dream88 account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets. Promotional communications are also paused.

5
Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, dream88 offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once activated, your account is closed and you will not be able to re-register during the exclusion period. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion immediately.

6
Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders during your gaming sessions that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These gentle nudges help you stay grounded and make informed decisions about continuing to play.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Responsible gaming starts with self-awareness. Here are some signs that your gaming habits may be becoming a problem. If you recognise any of these in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help.

Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned, or gambling with money set aside for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills.

Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often leading to even greater losses.

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

Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gambling.

Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gambling activity.

Borrowing money, selling possessions, or engaging in other financial risk-taking behaviour to fund gambling.

Self-Assessment Checklist

Answer these questions honestly to get a sense of your current relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical tool — it is simply a starting point for reflection.

Do you gamble more than you intend to when you start a session?
Have you ever gambled with money needed for daily expenses?
Do you feel the need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult?
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships or at work?
Do you feel guilty or ashamed after a gambling session?

If you answered Yes to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use dream88's self-exclusion tool or speak with our support team. You can also seek help from professional resources available in the Philippines.

Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Gaming

Follow these simple guidelines to keep your dream88 experience fun, responsible, and within healthy limits.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you log in to dream88. Treat it like entertainment spending — once it is gone, stop playing. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Track Your Time

It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying slots, bingo, or live casino games. Use dream88's session time reminders to keep your gaming sessions short and enjoyable.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

Online gaming at dream88 is entertainment. Winning is exciting, but it should never be your primary motivation. If you find yourself playing just to win money, take a step back and reassess.

Never Chase Losses

One of the most important rules of responsible gaming: if you are on a losing streak, do not try to win it all back in one session. Accept the loss, step away, and come back another day with a fresh mindset.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly. Grab a snack, stretch, or chat with family. Regular breaks help you stay clear-headed and make better decisions when you return to the game.

Talk to Someone

If you feel that gambling is affecting your life, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professional. You are not alone — support is available, and reaching out is a sign of strength.

Support Resources in the Philippines

dream88 encourages players who need help to reach out to professional support organisations. The following resources are available to Filipino players.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming initiatives in the Philippines. PAGCOR provides guidelines, resources, and support programs for players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties. dream88 operates in alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework.

National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH provides mental health support services across the Philippines, including counselling for behavioural issues such as problem gambling. Their crisis hotline is available to anyone in need of immediate support. Reach out to NCMH if you or someone you know needs professional help.

dream88 Support Team

Our 24/7 Filipino support team is always available to help. Whether you want to activate a self-exclusion, set deposit limits, or simply talk to someone about your gaming habits, our team is here for you. Contact us via live chat on the dream88 platform anytime.

Family and Community Support

In Filipino culture, family and community are central to wellbeing. If gambling is affecting your relationships or home life, consider speaking openly with a trusted family member or community leader. Sometimes, the support of loved ones is the most powerful resource of all.

dream88 and PAGCOR: dream88 supports PAGCOR's responsible gaming initiatives and encourages all players to familiarise themselves with the responsible gaming guidelines published by PAGCOR. If you believe you have a gambling problem, please seek help promptly — early intervention makes a significant difference.
