Our Commitment to Safe Play

phweek takes responsible gaming seriously. We know that for the vast majority of our players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and Makati, online gaming is a fun and entertaining pastime. But we also recognize that for some people, gambling can become a problem — and we have a duty to help.

That's why phweek has built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives every player the power to set limits, take breaks, and seek help when needed. Our tools are available 24/7, free of charge, and easy to access directly from your phweek account settings.

phweek operates in compliance with PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines and the standards set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. We are committed to continuous improvement of our player protection measures.

Your Responsible Gaming Tools

phweek gives you full control over your gaming experience. All tools below are available free of charge inside your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your phweek wallet. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but increases take 7 days to take effect — giving you time to reconsider.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount in Philippine Peso (₱) you are comfortable losing within a set period. When your loss limit is reached, phweek will automatically suspend your gaming session for the remainder of that period. This tool helps you stay within your personal budget.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your time limit is reached, phweek will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This is especially useful for players who find it easy to lose track of time while playing slots or live dealer games.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during your current session. Reality checks are a gentle but effective way to stay aware of your gaming activity without interrupting your experience.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from phweek by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot log in or place bets, but your account remains active. This is ideal if you feel you need a temporary pause without committing to full self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from phweek for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Any attempt to create a new account during self-exclusion will result in immediate closure.
