855pub's Commitment to Responsible Gaming

855pub is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all players in the Philippines. We invest in player protection tools, staff training, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that gaming on our platform remains a positive experience. If gaming ever stops being fun for you, we are here to help — no judgment, no hassle.

Our Player Protection Tools
855pub gives you real, practical tools to manage your gaming activity — all accessible directly from your account settings
Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your 855pub account to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so the platform automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when you have been playing for a set amount of time. Regular breaks are one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from 855pub without permanently closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets, giving you space to reassess your gaming habits.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gaming is becoming a problem, you can self-exclude from 855pub for a period of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Your account balance will be returned to you.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. Once you reach your loss limit, 855pub will automatically prevent further bets until the limit period resets. This tool helps you protect your bankroll and avoid chasing losses — one of the most common signs of problem gambling.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. Reality checks are a gentle nudge to pause, reflect, and decide whether you want to continue — keeping you in the driver's seat at all times.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion on 855pub
Self-exclusion is straightforward and takes effect immediately. Here is how to do it in four steps.
1
Log In to Your Account

Visit 855pub and log in to your registered player account. Make sure you are using the correct credentials for the account you want to exclude.

2
Go to Account Settings

Navigate to your Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" section from the menu.

3
Choose Your Exclusion Period

Select your preferred self-exclusion duration: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. Read the terms carefully before confirming.

4
Confirm & Done

Confirm your selection. Your account is immediately locked. Any remaining balance will be processed for withdrawal to your registered GCash or bank account.

Important: Self-exclusion on 855pub cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends. If you need immediate help or are in crisis, please contact our 24/7 live chat support team directly — they are trained to assist you with compassion and without judgment.
Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. The earlier you recognize the signs, the easier it is to get back on track. Ask yourself honestly: do any of these apply to you?

Spending more money on gaming than you can afford to lose
Borrowing money from family or friends to fund gaming
Chasing losses by placing bigger bets to win back what you lost
Lying to loved ones about how much time or money you spend gaming
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gaming
Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gaming
Using gaming as a way to escape stress, depression, or problems
Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming on your own
If you answered yes to two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to use 855pub's self-exclusion tool or reach out to our support team. You are not alone, and help is available.
Healthy Gaming Habits Checklist
I only gamble with money I can afford to lose — never with rent, bills, or savings.
I set a budget before I start playing and I stick to it, win or lose.
I treat gaming as entertainment, not as a source of income or a financial strategy.
I take regular breaks and do not play for extended sessions without stopping.
I never chase losses — if I hit my loss limit, I stop for the day.
I keep gaming separate from my emotions — I do not play when I am stressed, upset, or drinking.
My family and friends know I game, and they are comfortable with the time and money I spend.
I have other hobbies and interests outside of gaming that I enjoy regularly.

Tips for Safe & Enjoyable Gaming
Simple habits that keep gaming fun and prevent it from becoming a problem
Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you are willing to spend before you open the 855pub app. Treat it like a night out — once the budget is gone, the session is over. Never dip into money set aside for rent, groceries, GCash bills, or family needs.

Time Your Sessions

It is easy to lose track of time when you are in the zone. Use 855pub's session timer or set an alarm on your phone. Aim for sessions of no more than 1–2 hours, with breaks in between. Step away, have a snack, and come back fresh.

Never Play to Escape

If you are stressed about work, a fight with family, or financial pressure, gaming is not the answer. Playing to escape negative emotions is one of the fastest paths to problem gambling. Talk to someone you trust instead.

Accept Losses Gracefully

Every game has a house edge — that is how casinos work, and 855pub is no different. Losses are part of the experience. Never chase a loss by betting more to win it back. Accept it, close the app, and come back another day.

Talk to Someone

If you are worried about your gaming habits, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professional counselor. Sharing your concerns is a sign of strength, not weakness. 855pub's support team is also available 24/7 if you need guidance on using our responsible gaming tools.

Keep Balance in Life

Gaming should be one small part of a full life. Make sure you are spending quality time with family in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or wherever home is — pursuing hobbies, staying active, and maintaining the relationships that matter most to you.
