At perya games, we believe that gaming should always be a fun and enjoyable experience — never a source of stress, financial strain, or harm. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all players in the Philippines, with tools and resources that help you manage your play responsibly. This page explains the responsible gaming measures we have in place, the warning signs to watch out for, and where to get help if you or someone you know needs support. Our goal is to make sure every player on the platform can enjoy the experience at their own pace, within their own limits.
perya games provides practical controls so you can set boundaries that work for your lifestyle and budget.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period. This helps you stay within a budget you are comfortable with and prevents impulsive top-ups during a losing streak. Limits can be lowered at any time with no waiting period. We encourage all players to set a deposit limit when they first register.
Losing track of time is one of the most common ways gaming can become problematic. perya games lets you set session time reminders that notify you when you have been playing for a set duration. You can choose intervals that suit your routine — whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or longer. When the reminder appears, you can choose to continue or take a break. These reminders are a simple but effective way to stay aware of how long you have been playing.
If you feel that you need a longer break from gaming, our self-exclusion feature allows you to temporarily or permanently suspend your account. You can choose a self-exclusion period ranging from a few days to an indefinite block. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets. This is a serious tool designed for players who recognise that they need to step away, and we process all self-exclusion requests promptly and without question.
In addition to deposit limits, you can set a maximum loss threshold for any given period. Once you reach your loss limit, your account will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets. This feature is especially useful for players who want to enjoy the excitement of betting without risking more than they can afford to lose. Loss limits are a proactive way to protect your bankroll and keep gaming in its proper place as entertainment.
Reality checks are periodic on-screen messages that show you a summary of your current session — including how long you have been playing and your net win or loss position. These prompts appear at intervals you choose and are designed to give you an honest snapshot of your activity without interrupting the flow of play unnecessarily. Seeing the numbers in plain view can be a powerful motivator to take a break or reassess your session. You can adjust the frequency of reality checks at any time from your account dashboard. We recommend enabling this feature alongside session time reminders for the most complete picture of your gaming habits.
A cooling-off period is a short-term break option for players who want to pause without committing to a full self-exclusion. You can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days directly from your account settings. During this time, your account remains open but wagering and deposits are suspended. This gives you space to reflect on your gaming habits without permanently closing your account. It is a flexible middle ground between unrestricted play and full self-exclusion, and we encourage players to use it whenever they feel they need a reset.
Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting back in control. Here are the most common indicators that gaming may be affecting your wellbeing.
Continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost is one of the clearest signs of problematic gaming. This behaviour often leads to larger losses and increased frustration. If you notice yourself increasing your bets after a losing session, it is time to step back and use one of the limit tools available on your account.
Using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or other essential expenses to fund gaming is a serious warning sign. Gaming should only ever be funded from disposable income — money you can genuinely afford to lose. If you find yourself borrowing money or dipping into savings to play, please reach out for support immediately and consider activating self-exclusion.
When gaming starts to interfere with work, school, family time, or sleep, it has moved beyond healthy entertainment. Missing deadlines, skipping meals, or staying up through the night to play are all signs that gaming is taking up more space in your life than it should. Setting session time limits and reminders can help you keep gaming in its proper place alongside your other commitments.
If you feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you are unable to access the platform, this may indicate a dependency that goes beyond casual entertainment. Healthy gaming should feel like a leisure activity you can easily set aside. If the thought of not playing causes significant distress, we strongly encourage you to speak with a professional counsellor or contact one of the support organisations listed below.
Secrecy around gaming — such as hiding how much time or money you spend — is a common sign that something is wrong. If you feel the need to lie about or conceal your gaming habits from the people close to you, it is worth taking an honest look at whether your relationship with gaming is still healthy. Talking openly with someone you trust is often the most important first step toward making a positive change.
You are never alone. These organisations provide free, confidential support for players and their families.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a dedicated responsible gaming programme that provides guidance, self-exclusion registries, and referrals to counselling services across the Philippines. PAGCOR's programme is available to all players regardless of which licensed platform they use. If you wish to be added to the national self-exclusion list, PAGCOR can facilitate this process. Their resources are available in both English and Filipino to ensure accessibility for all players nationwide.
The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in the Philippines offers a 24-hour crisis hotline and counselling services for individuals experiencing mental health challenges, including those related to compulsive gambling. Their trained counsellors can provide immediate support and refer you to appropriate treatment programmes. The NCMH crisis line is free to call and available around the clock, making it one of the most accessible resources for players in distress. Reaching out early can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes.
Gamblers Anonymous Philippines is a peer support fellowship for individuals who want to stop gambling and stay stopped. Meetings are held regularly in major cities across the Philippines and are open to anyone who believes they may have a gambling problem. The programme follows a 12-step recovery model and is entirely free to attend. Members share their experiences in a confidential, non-judgmental environment, which many people find more approachable than formal clinical treatment. Family members of problem gamblers are also welcome through the affiliated Gam-Anon programme.
perya games takes its responsibilities as a licensed online gaming platform seriously. We comply fully with the responsible gaming requirements set by PAGCOR and continuously review our player protection measures to ensure they meet the highest standards. Our platform is strictly for adults aged 21 and above, and we use age verification processes at registration to prevent underage access. We do not market our services to vulnerable individuals, and we train our support team to identify and assist players who may be showing signs of problem gambling. If our team identifies unusual patterns in your account activity, we may reach out proactively to check in and offer support tools.
We also work to ensure that our games are fair and that outcomes are determined by certified random number generators, so players can trust that the platform is not designed to exploit them. Transparency is central to how we operate — our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy are written in plain language so every player understands exactly what they are agreeing to. If you have any questions about our responsible gaming practices, our support team is available through the contact details on the platform and our FAQ page covers the most common queries in detail.
Set your limits, explore our games, and enjoy the perya games experience at your own pace. If you have questions about account controls or need guidance, our FAQ page is a great place to start. You can also log in to manage your responsible gaming settings or create a new account today.
