At ruby88, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. Here's everything you need to know about playing responsibly on our platform.
Here at ruby88, we want every Filipino player — whether you're in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or Quezon City — to enjoy our games the way they're meant to be enjoyed: as entertainment. Slots, bingo, and live casino games are designed to be fun, and the house always has a mathematical edge over time.
Responsible gaming means setting limits, knowing when to stop, and never chasing losses. ruby88 provides a full suite of tools to help you stay in control at all times. We take our duty of care seriously — because your well-being matters more to us than any single bet.
We've built responsible gaming into the core of the ruby88 platform — not as an afterthought, but as a fundamental part of how we operate.
Every ruby88 account goes through a mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) process. We verify government-issued IDs to confirm that all players are 21 years of age or older before any real-money gaming is allowed.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your ruby88 account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
If you feel you need a break, ruby88 offers self-exclusion options ranging from 24 hours to permanent account closure. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in or receive any promotional communications.
ruby88 lets you set session time alerts so you're always aware of how long you've been playing. When your chosen time is up, you'll receive a clear notification — giving you the nudge to take a break.
Our reality check tool shows you a summary of your gaming activity — wins, losses, and time spent — at regular intervals you choose. Staying informed about your play history is one of the most effective responsible gaming habits.
Our ruby88 support team is trained to recognize signs of problem gambling and to respond with empathy and practical guidance. Reach out anytime — we're here to help, not to judge.
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, which is why it's important to recognize the early warning signs. If any of the following sound familiar — whether for yourself or someone you care about — please take it seriously and reach out for help.
ruby88 is committed to providing resources and tools to help players in the Philippines who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties. You are not alone, and help is available.
Please use our self-exclusion tool immediately or contact our support team. You can also reach out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming helpline for confidential assistance.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've already lost — often leading to even bigger losses and a cycle that's hard to break.
Feeling the need to conceal how much time or money you spend on gaming from family members, friends, or colleagues in Manila, Cebu, or wherever you are.
Using money intended for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses — or borrowing money from GCash, PayMaya, or other sources — to fund gambling activity.
Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling but finding yourself unable to do so, even when you genuinely want to take a break.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling, or experiencing extreme highs and lows tied directly to wins and losses.
Allowing gambling to interfere with work, school, family obligations, or social relationships — prioritizing gaming over the people and responsibilities that matter most.
These tools are available to every registered ruby88 player at no cost. You can activate them anytime from your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Cap how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Limits take effect instantly when set. Reductions are immediate; increases require a 24-hour waiting period to protect you from impulsive decisions.
Take a short break from gaming for 24 hours, 48 hours, or up to 30 days. During this period your account is temporarily suspended. You can still withdraw any existing balance.
Exclude yourself from ruby88 for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. All marketing communications will stop immediately.
Review your complete gaming history — every session, deposit, withdrawal, and wager — directly from your ruby88 account dashboard. Full transparency, always available to you.
Log in to your ruby88 account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. All tools are available there. Alternatively, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected] and a team member will assist you in setting up any limit or exclusion immediately.
ruby88 operates in alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework. PAGCOR, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, provides oversight and resources for players who need assistance. If you feel our internal tools are not sufficient, we encourage you to seek additional support through PAGCOR's responsible gaming programs.
Honest self-reflection is one of the most powerful tools in responsible gaming. Take a moment to ask yourself the questions on the right. There are no right or wrong answers — this is purely for your own awareness.
If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use ruby88's self-exclusion tools or speak with a professional counselor. Remember: seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Answer honestly — this is for your eyes only. No data is recorded or submitted.
Have you ever spent more money on gambling than you originally planned or could comfortably afford?
Have you borrowed money — from family, friends, or digital wallets like GCash or PayMaya — specifically to fund gambling?
Have you tried to win back money you lost by continuing to gamble, even when you knew you should stop?
Has gambling caused arguments or tension with family members, a partner, or close friends?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to gamble or when you try to cut back?
Have you ever missed work, school, or important family events because of gambling?
Do you think about gambling frequently throughout the day, even when you're doing other things?
Simple habits that make a big difference. Follow these guidelines to keep your ruby88 experience enjoyable and sustainable.
Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you open any game on ruby88. Treat it like a budget for entertainment — the same way you'd budget for a night out in BGC or a movie in SM Mall of Asia. Once it's gone, stop.
Decide in advance how long you'll play. Use ruby88's session time reminder feature to get an alert when your time is up. Taking regular breaks keeps gaming fun and prevents fatigue-driven decisions.
Avoid gambling when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgment and can lead to decisions you'll regret. Play ruby88 when you're relaxed and clear-headed.
All casino games — slots, bingo, live dealer — have a built-in house edge. There is no guaranteed winning strategy. Every spin, every card, every draw is independent. Play for fun, not for profit.
Use a separate GCash wallet or a dedicated budget for ruby88 gaming funds. Never mix your gaming budget with money set aside for rent, utilities, BDO or BPI loan payments, or daily expenses.
Whether you're on a winning streak or a losing run, knowing when to stop is the most important skill in responsible gaming. Set a win limit too — it's just as important as a loss limit.
You don't have to face gambling-related challenges alone. ruby88 and the following organizations are here to help.
Our trained support team is available 24/7. If you're concerned about your gaming habits or need help activating any responsible gaming tool, reach out to us anytime. We respond with care and without judgment.

Sometimes the most powerful step is simply talking to a family member, a close friend, or a trusted community leader. In Filipino culture, family is everything — don't be afraid to lean on your loved ones when you need support.
Your well-being is more important than any game.
If you or someone you know is in crisis due to gambling-related stress, financial hardship, or mental health concerns, please reach out to a mental health professional or crisis support service in the Philippines.
