Responsible Gaming Guide from SPINSY

Our commitment

SPINSY does not run games or accept money, so we cannot set limits for you. What we can do is repeat a plain fact on every page: results are random, the house edge always applies, and nobody can promise you a win. Our aim is that you read the risks before you spin, not after.

We will never describe gambling as income, a side hustle or a way out of debt. If money is tight, play is the wrong tool.

Player tools to use before you start

Licensed operators typically provide tools to keep play inside a budget. Look for them in account settings and switch them on before your first deposit.

• Deposit limits: cap how much you can add per day, week or month
• Loss limits: stop play once a set amount has been lost
• Time limits and reality checks: reminders when a session runs long
• Cooling-off breaks: pause your account for a short fixed period
• Self-exclusion: block your account for a longer period, often months or more
• Wallet discipline: only use pesos you can afford to lose, from an account in your own name

A good rule: decide your entertainment budget the way you would for a movie night, and treat it as spent the moment you deposit.

Recognising problem signs

Trouble rarely shows up all at once. It tends to creep, a little more time and a little more money each week. Be honest with yourself about the signs below.

• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Borrowing money, or using GCash or Maya funds meant for bills
• Hiding play from family or friends
• Feeling irritable when you try to stop
• Playing to escape stress or low mood
• Believing a 'lucky pattern' will turn things around, when each spin is random

Protecting minors: 21+ only

Online gambling is for adults aged 21 and over. If children share your phone or e-wallet, use a passcode, log out after play and never store card or wallet details where a minor can reach them.

Where to get help

If gambling is hurting you or someone close to you, talk to someone today. The NCMH crisis hotline at 1553 is free and confidential. You can also ask any operator for a cooling-off period or self-exclusion, and tell a trusted friend or family member so you are not carrying this alone.
