At perya time, your wellbeing always comes first. Here is everything Filipino players need to know about setting limits, recognising warning signs, and keeping gaming fun and safe.
Gaming and sports betting are meant to be enjoyable, social, and exciting — a form of entertainment that adds energy to your day, not stress. At perya time, we believe that every Filipino player deserves a safe and transparent environment where fun never comes at the cost of personal wellbeing. Responsible gaming is not just a legal requirement for us; it is a genuine commitment to the community of players across the Philippines who trust our platform every single day. We understand that for some players, what starts as casual entertainment can gradually shift into something harder to manage — and that is exactly why we provide clear tools, honest information, and direct support to help you stay in control at every stage. Our platform is designed so that you always have full visibility over your activity, your spending, and your time — because informed players make better decisions. Whether you are a first-time bettor or a seasoned player, the principles of responsible gaming apply equally, and perya time is here to support you every step of the way.
Decide on a fixed amount in Philippine pesos that you are comfortable spending before you open any game or place any bet. Treat it like an entertainment budget — once it is used, the session ends. Never use money set aside for rent, food, bills, or family needs.
Set a clear time limit for each gaming session and stick to it. Use your phone's built-in screen time tools or a simple alarm to remind yourself when to stop. Taking regular breaks keeps your mind fresh and your decisions sharp.
Chasing losses is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling. If you have reached your budget limit, stop — no matter how tempting it feels to win it back. Every bet is independent, and no outcome is ever guaranteed.
If you feel that gaming is becoming difficult to control, you can request a self-exclusion period through our support team. This temporarily restricts access to your account and gives you the space and time to reset without pressure.
Recognising the early warning signs is the most important step. Be honest with yourself — if any of the following sound familiar, it may be time to take a break or seek support.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, taking action early makes a real difference. You do not have to wait until things feel out of control — reaching out for support at any stage is a sign of strength, not weakness. perya time provides multiple pathways to help, and our support team is available to assist any Filipino player who needs guidance without judgement. The sooner you act, the easier it is to regain balance and keep gaming a positive part of your life.
Remember: gaming should always be a source of entertainment, not a source of financial pressure or emotional distress. perya time is committed to supporting every Filipino player who needs help, without judgement.
We have built practical, easy-to-use tools directly into the platform so that every Filipino player can manage their gaming activity with confidence and clarity.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine pesos directly through your account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets — giving you firm, automatic control over your spending. This tool is one of the most effective ways to prevent overspending before it becomes a problem. You can adjust your limit downward at any time, and increases take effect only after a mandatory review period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Request a short break from the platform — from 24 hours up to several weeks — without permanently closing your account. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in or place bets, giving you genuine breathing room to reassess your habits. This option is ideal for players who feel they need a temporary pause rather than a permanent exit. All cooling-off requests are processed immediately and cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed.
For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion closes access to your account for an extended period. Contact our support team at [email protected] to activate this option — we process all self-exclusion requests promptly and without question. During the exclusion period, you will not receive any promotional communications from perya time. We take this commitment seriously and will not attempt to re-engage excluded players before their chosen period ends.
perya time operates strictly for players aged 18 and above. We take the protection of minors seriously and have multiple safeguards in place to prevent underage access.
Every new player who registers on perya time must confirm that they are at least 18 years old at the point of registration. We conduct identity verification checks as part of our standard onboarding process, and accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to an adult will be suspended immediately. Our verification process is aligned with PAGCOR's requirements and Philippine law, ensuring that only eligible adults can access real-money gaming features. If we have any reason to suspect that an account is being used by a minor, we will freeze the account and conduct a full review before allowing any further activity.
We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. Tools such as device-level content filters and browser restrictions can provide an additional layer of protection at home.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend keeping your perya time account credentials private and logging out after every session. Never allow children or teenagers to use your account, even casually — this puts both your account and their wellbeing at risk. Talk openly with young people in your household about the nature of online gaming and the importance of responsible behaviour around money and entertainment. Early conversations about healthy gaming habits can make a lasting difference.
If you believe a minor has accessed a gaming account — whether on perya time or any other platform — contact the platform's support team immediately and report the incident to PAGCOR. Protecting young Filipinos from the potential harms of underage gambling is a shared responsibility that we take very seriously.
You are never alone. If you or someone you know needs help with problem gambling, these resources are available in the Philippines.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a dedicated responsible gaming programme that provides guidance, resources, and referral services for Filipino players who are experiencing difficulties. PAGCOR's framework sets the standard for responsible gaming across all licensed operators in the Philippines, and perya time is fully aligned with these guidelines. Players can contact PAGCOR directly for information about their rights and available support services.
The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in the Philippines provides free mental health services and a crisis hotline available to all Filipinos. If gaming-related stress, anxiety, or financial pressure is affecting your mental health, reaching out to a professional counsellor can be a life-changing step. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support — early intervention is always more effective than waiting until problems become severe.
Our dedicated support team is available to assist any Filipino player who has concerns about their gaming behaviour. You can reach us at [email protected] to request account limits, cooling-off periods, or self-exclusion. We treat all responsible gaming enquiries with complete confidentiality and respond promptly. There is no judgement — only practical help and genuine care for your wellbeing as a valued member of the perya time community.
