Our Commitment
hotph takes responsible gaming seriously. These aren't just words on a page — they're built into how our platform works, from the moment you sign up to every session you play.
hotph strictly enforces the minimum age of 21 years for all players, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. Every account goes through age verification before any real-money play is permitted.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately — and increasing it requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
Enable session time alerts to receive a notification after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of continuous play. It's a simple nudge to take a break, grab a snack, and come back refreshed.
Need a longer break? Request a self-exclusion period of 1 month to 5 years — or permanently. During exclusion, your account is suspended and you cannot register a new one on hotph.
Reality check notifications pop up at intervals you choose, showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session — keeping you grounded and aware.
Our support team — available in English and Filipino around the clock — can help you activate any responsible gaming tool, answer questions, or connect you with professional help resources.
Awareness
Gaming is entertainment — and like any form of entertainment, it can become a problem for some people. Recognizing the early signs of problem gambling is the first step toward getting help. At hotph, we want every Filipino player to be informed and empowered.
If you recognize two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage reaching out for support. You are not alone — help is available right here in the Philippines.
Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, consider using hotph's responsible gaming tools or seeking professional support.
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're doing other things?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Do you feel the need to bet larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from family members or close friends?
Has gambling ever caused significant stress, conflict, or financial difficulty in your life?
Do you gamble to escape from problems, loneliness, or negative emotions?
Player Tools
All hotph responsible gaming tools are available directly from your account dashboard — no need to contact support to activate them. You're in control, always.
Cap your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits in PHP. Limits apply instantly. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour waiting period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Set a maximum session duration per day. When your limit is reached, hotph will automatically log you out and display a responsible gaming reminder before you can log back in.
Take a short break from gaming by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is temporarily suspended and no marketing communications will be sent during this time.
For longer breaks, self-exclusion suspends your account for 1 month up to 5 years, or permanently. hotph will also flag your details to prevent re-registration during the exclusion period.
View a full breakdown of your gaming activity — deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses, and time spent — for any period. Transparency helps you make informed decisions about your play.
Set a maximum loss threshold per session or per day. Once reached, hotph will notify you and optionally end your session automatically — so you never lose more than you're comfortable with.
Step by Step
Setting up your responsible gaming preferences on hotph takes less than two minutes. Here's how to do it from your account dashboard.
Access your account via the hotph Login page. Make sure you're on the official hotph.net platform.
Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
Find the Responsible Gaming tab in your settings panel. All available tools are listed here with clear descriptions.
Select the limits or tools you want to enable, enter your preferred values in PHP or minutes, and confirm. Changes take effect immediately.
If you'd prefer to have our team set up tools on your behalf — especially for self-exclusion — contact hotph support at [email protected] anytime, 24/7.
Age Policy
Philippine gaming regulations set the minimum legal age for casino-style gambling at 21 years old. hotph enforces this strictly — no exceptions, no workarounds.
If you share a device with younger family members, here are some practical steps to keep them safe:
