be88 Responsible Gaming – Play Smart, Stay in Control
At be88, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your means. This page outlines the tools, guidelines, and support resources available to every player in the Philippines so you can enjoy the platform responsibly.
What Does Playing Responsibly Actually Mean?
Gaming is entertainment — and like all entertainment, it works best when it fits comfortably into your life. Here is what responsible play looks like on be88.
Only Spend What You Can Afford
Set a personal budget before you start and stick to it. Gaming funds should come from your disposable income, never from money set aside for rent, food, or bills.
Keep Track of Your Time
It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying a game. Set a session timer, take regular breaks, and make sure gaming does not crowd out other parts of your day.
Play for Fun, Not to Chase Losses
Wins and losses are both part of the experience. If you find yourself trying to win back money you have already lost, that is a signal to pause and step away for a while.
Stay Honest With Yourself
Regularly check in on how gaming fits into your life. If it is affecting your relationships, work, or finances, it may be time to use one of the self-management tools available on the platform.
Gaming Is Not for Everyone
Minors under 21 years of age are strictly prohibited from registering or playing on be88. If you are a parent or guardian, please use device-level controls to prevent underage access.
Help Is Always Available
If you or someone you know needs support, our team is reachable at any time. You can also reach out to professional organisations in the Philippines that specialise in gambling-related concerns.
Which Self-Management Tools Does be88 Offer?
We give every registered player in the Philippines direct access to a set of practical controls designed to keep your gaming experience healthy and within your chosen limits.
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately, while increasing it requires a short cooling-off period to give you time to reconsider. This tool is one of the most effective ways to keep your spending predictable and within your personal budget. If you are unsure what limit to set, start conservatively and adjust over time as you get a clearer picture of your gaming habits.
Session reminders send you a notification after a set amount of continuous play time, prompting you to take a break or log out. You choose the interval that works for you — whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or longer. These gentle nudges help prevent the kind of extended sessions that can lead to fatigue and poor decision-making. Taking regular breaks is a simple habit that makes a real difference to how you feel after a gaming session. You can update your reminder preferences at any time from your account dashboard.
A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a short duration of your choosing — typically between one day and several weeks. During this time you will not be able to log in, place bets, or make deposits. This option is ideal if you feel you need a short break without committing to a full self-exclusion. At the end of the cooling-off period your account is automatically reactivated, though you can extend the period at any time before it expires. Requesting a cooling-off period is straightforward and takes effect within minutes of your request.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term option for players who feel they need a more significant break from gaming. You can request a self-exclusion period of six months, one year, or longer, and during that time your account will be fully suspended with no possibility of early reactivation. All marketing communications will also be stopped for the duration of your exclusion. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to ensure your protection. If you are considering self-exclusion, we also encourage you to reach out to a professional support service in the Philippines for additional guidance.
