Player Wellbeing
At 770pub, we believe that gaming should always be fun, in control, and within your means. This page explains the tools and resources we provide to help every member in the Philippines maintain a healthy relationship with sports betting and online gaming. If at any point the fun stops, we are here to help.
Our Tools
770pub provides several practical tools that every registered member in the Philippines can use directly from their account settings. These are designed to give you full control over how much you spend, how long you play, and when you need a break. You do not need to contact support to activate most of these features — they are available to you at any time.
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your 770pub account to make sure your spending stays within a comfortable range. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory waiting period. This gives you a reliable budget cap that protects you from impulsive top-ups during a losing streak. We recommend all new members in the Philippines set a deposit limit before placing their first bet. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, while raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period for your protection. This feature is free to use and available at any time through your account dashboard.
It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying sports betting or casino-style games on a mobile device. 770pub lets you set session time reminders that notify you after a chosen duration — for example, after 30, 60, or 90 minutes of active play. These reminders appear as on-screen alerts and encourage you to take a break, check in with yourself, and decide whether to continue or log out. Regular breaks are one of the most effective habits for keeping gaming enjoyable rather than compulsive. You can adjust or disable session reminders at any time through your account settings. We encourage all members across the Philippines to use this feature, particularly during evening and late-night sessions.
If you feel you need a short break from betting and gaming but are not ready for a full self-exclusion, a cooling-off period lets you pause your account for a defined number of days — from 1 day up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, place bets, or access the gaming section of 770pub. Existing pending withdrawals will still be processed during this time. Once the cooling-off period ends, your account automatically reactivates, and you can resume playing if you choose to. This is a useful option for members in the Philippines who recognise they need a structured pause rather than a permanent change. You can request a cooling-off period by contacting our support team or through the responsible gaming section of your account.
Self-exclusion is a stronger, longer-term option for members who feel their gaming has become a problem and want to stop entirely for a significant period. You can request a self-exclusion for a minimum of 6 months, and it can be extended up to 5 years or made permanent. During self-exclusion, your account is deactivated, you cannot create a new account, and 770pub will take reasonable steps to prevent you from being contacted with promotional communications. We take self-exclusion requests very seriously, and our team processes them promptly with full respect for your privacy. If you are considering self-exclusion, please also explore external support resources listed further down this page. Lifting a self-exclusion requires contacting our support team directly and completing a review process to ensure you are ready to return to gaming safely.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of how experienced a player you are. Recognising the early warning signs in yourself or someone close to you is the first and most important step toward getting the right help. The following signs do not mean you are beyond help — they simply mean it may be time to use one of our responsible gaming tools or reach out to a support service in the Philippines.
If you find yourself placing larger bets or playing for longer periods specifically to recover money you have lost, this is one of the most recognised signs of problem gambling. Chasing losses rarely results in recovery and usually leads to greater financial harm. If this pattern feels familiar, consider setting a deposit limit on your 770pub account today or requesting a cooling-off period to break the cycle.
Spending significantly more time on gaming than you originally planned — especially at the expense of work, family time, or sleep — is a strong indicator that gaming may be getting out of balance. Using our session time reminder feature can help you become more aware of how long you are playing, and our cooling-off option lets you step back whenever you need to reset.
When your emotional wellbeing becomes strongly dependent on winning or losing — feeling elated after a win and deeply distressed after a loss — it may indicate that gaming has moved beyond entertainment into something more compulsive. Healthy gaming means the outcome does not significantly affect your everyday mood, relationships, or ability to function at work or school.
Feeling the need to hide your gaming or betting activity from family members, friends, or colleagues — or lying about how much money you have spent — is a significant warning sign that should not be ignored. Secrecy around gambling often accompanies escalating financial and emotional problems. If this resonates with you, please consider reaching out to one of the support organisations listed below.
Spending money on gaming that was intended for essential expenses — such as rent, utilities, groceries, or loan repayments — is a serious warning sign. Gaming should always come from discretionary income you can comfortably afford to lose. If you are borrowing money or using credit to fund gaming activity, we strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion and seek professional support immediately.
Missing work deadlines, neglecting household duties, or withdrawing from social activities in favour of gaming are signs that betting may be interfering with your daily life in a meaningful way. These changes often start gradually and can be hard to notice from the inside. Trusted friends and family members often notice these patterns before the person experiencing them does — if someone close to you has raised a concern, please take it seriously.
Get Help
If you or someone you know needs help with problem gambling, the following organisations provide free, confidential support for individuals and families across the Philippines. You do not need to be in crisis to reach out — early conversations are often the most effective.
The Philippine government's national body dedicated to addressing problem gambling provides referral services, counselling resources, and public education programmes. Their services are available to all residents of the Philippines regardless of income or background. If you are unsure where to start, contacting a national body is a good first step toward understanding your options and getting connected with local professionals who can help.
The Philippines operates several mental health helplines that can support individuals dealing with compulsive behaviours, anxiety, depression, and stress related to gambling losses. Talking to a trained counsellor — even anonymously — can help you understand what you are experiencing and identify the next steps. These services are free to call and are staffed by professionals who will not judge your situation.
Gamblers Anonymous (GA) is a peer-support fellowship for people who want to stop gambling. GA groups operate across major cities in the Philippines and offer regular meetings where members share experiences and support one another through recovery. Attendance is free and completely voluntary. Many people find that speaking with others who have been through similar experiences is more helpful than clinical intervention alone — GA can be a powerful complement to professional counselling.
