If you ever feel gaming is affecting your life, help is available — read on to find out how.

Our Commitment to Every Player

phruby takesresponsible gaming seriously — here is what that means in practice.

You Are Always in Control

phruby gives every registered player in the Philippines the ability to set deposit limits, session time reminders, and self-exclusion periods directly from their account settings. These tools are designed to put the power firmly in your hands, not ours. If you ever feel your gaming habits are shifting, use these features before the situation escalates. No questions asked, no waiting period — your limits take effect immediately. Gaming should always feel like a choice, never an obligation.

Strict 18+ Policy

Access to phruby is strictly limited to adults aged 18 and above, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. During registration, we verify age and identity to ensure minors cannot create accounts or participate in any form of gaming on the platform. If we have reason to believe an account is being used by or on behalf of a minor, that account will be suspended immediately pending investigation. We encourage parents and guardians to use device-level parental controls as an additional layer of protection. Protecting young people is a responsibility we take without compromise.

Budget Before You Play

One of the most effective responsible gaming habits is deciding your budget before you start — not while you are in the middle of a session. We recommend setting a fixed amount in Philippine pesos that you are genuinely comfortable losing, and treating it as the cost of entertainment rather than an investment. phruby's deposit limit tools let you cap how much you can add to your account per day, week, or month, making it easier to stick to your plan. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased immediately — there is a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Play within your means and the experience stays enjoyable.

Time Awareness Matters

It is easy to lose track of time when you are engaged in a game you enjoy — that is by design in any entertainment product. phruby lets you set session duration reminders so you receive a notification when you have been playing for a set amount of time. Taking regular breaks helps you stay sharp, make clearer decisions, and keep gaming in its proper place alongside work, family, and other priorities. If you find yourself consistently ignoring time reminders or extending sessions beyond what you planned, that is a signal worth paying attention to. A short break today is far better than a long problem tomorrow.

Spot the Warning Signs Early

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing what to look for makes it easier to act before things get out of hand.

Signs to Watch in Yourself

  • Spending more than you planned, more often than you intended
  • Chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you lost
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not playing
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gaming
  • Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities
  • Feeling that gaming is the only way to relax or escape stress

Signs to Watch in Someone You Know

  • Unexplained financial difficulties or requests to borrow money
  • Becoming secretive about time spent online or on mobile
  • Mood swings tied to wins and losses
  • Withdrawing from social activities and relationships
  • Talking about gaming constantly or being preoccupied with it
  • Neglecting meals, sleep, or personal hygiene
  • Expressing guilt or shame about gaming behaviour

Recognising these signs is the first and most important step. If any of the above sound familiar — whether in yourself or someone close to you — please do not wait. Use phruby's self-exclusion tool, reach out to our support team, or contact a professional helpline. There is no shame in asking for help, and acting early makes recovery significantly easier. The Philippines has dedicated support services for problem gambling, and our team can point you in the right direction.

Tools Built Into Your Account

Every phruby account comes with built-in controls you can activate at any time — no need to contact support first.

Deposit Limits

Cap your daily, weekly, or monthly deposits in Philippine pesos. Limits apply immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — without a cooling-off period.

Session Reminders

Set a time limit for each gaming session. When your chosen duration is reached, you will receive a clear notification so you can decide whether to continue or step away.

Take a Break

Need a short pause? Activate a temporary break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is suspended for the chosen period and cannot be reactivated early.

Self-Exclusion

For longer-term support, self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum of 6 months. During this period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or receive any promotional communications.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a given period. Once that threshold is reached, gaming is paused automatically until the period resets — keeping your budget intact.

Support Access

Our support team is available around the clock. If you need help activating any of these tools, have concerns about your account, or simply want to talk, we are here and ready to assist.
