Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not playing?
Has gaming started to affect your work, studies, or relationships?
Do you borrow money or sell belongings to fund your gaming?
Do you hide your gaming activity from family or friends?
Do you feel like you need to gamble with larger amounts to get the same excitement?

If you answered yes to one or more of the above, please consider activating hi89's self-exclusion tool or reaching out to our 24/7 support team. You can also contact our support at [email protected] for confidential assistance.

hi89's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At hi89, responsible gaming is not just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. We believe that every Filipino player deserves a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment. Whether you're spinning the reels on your favorite slot, playing a round of bingo, or trying your luck at live casino games, hi89 is designed to keep the experience enjoyable and within healthy limits.

We understand that for a small number of players, gaming can become problematic. That's why hi89 has invested in a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that includes player protection tools, staff training, age verification systems, and partnerships with support organizations. Our goal is simple: keep gaming fun, and step in early when it stops being fun.

The 21+ Rule — No Exceptions

In the Philippines, participation in casino-style online gaming is restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above, in line with PAGCOR regulations and the broader Philippine gaming framework. hi89 strictly enforces this age restriction at every stage of the player journey — from registration to deposit to gameplay.

During the account registration process, hi89 requires all players to submit valid government-issued identification to verify their age and identity. Accepted documents include the Philippine passport, SSS ID, driver's license, and the PhilSys National ID. Any account found to belong to a person under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be returned, and the matter may be reported to the relevant authorities.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has accessed the hi89 platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We take underage gaming extremely seriously and will act without delay.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling disorder — is a recognized behavioral condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It is characterized by an inability to control gambling behavior despite negative consequences to one's finances, relationships, work, or mental health.

Common warning signs of problem gambling include:

  • Spending more time or money on gaming than intended;
  • Chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets;
  • Neglecting work, school, family, or social obligations due to gaming;
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gaming;
  • Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gaming;
  • Lying to family members or friends about gaming activity;
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming.

If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out for help. Gaming should always be a leisure activity — not a way to earn money, escape problems, or cope with stress.

PAGCOR and Responsible Gaming in the Philippines

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the primary regulatory body overseeing gaming operations in the Philippines. PAGCOR has established responsible gaming guidelines that all licensed operators are required to follow, including age verification requirements, player protection tools, and staff training standards.

hi89 operates in alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework. We encourage all players who need additional support or information about responsible gaming in the Philippines to consult PAGCOR's official resources and guidelines.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

  • Set a budget before you play — decide how much you can afford to spend and stick to it, whether you're depositing via GCash, PayMaya, BPI, or BDO.
  • Treat losses as the cost of entertainment — never chase losses or try to "win back" money you've already spent.
  • Take regular breaks — use hi89's session time reminders to step away from the screen regularly.
  • Don't play when emotional — avoid gaming when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Balance gaming with other activities — maintain a healthy mix of hobbies, social activities, and responsibilities.
  • Keep gaming private from minors — ensure that children and young people in your household cannot access your hi89 account.

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, help is available. hi89's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and can assist you in activating self-exclusion, setting account limits, or simply talking through your concerns in confidence.
