Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At TablePlus5, responsible gaming is not just a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. Whether you enjoy slots, eBingo, sports betting on PBA games, or any other offering on the platform, we want your experience to stay fun, controlled, and well within your personal limits.
The reality is that gambling can become harmful when it stops being entertainment and starts affecting your finances, relationships, or mental wellbeing. That is why we have built a set of practical tools directly into the platform, and why we are transparent about the risks involved in every type of wagering.
This page outlines the tools available to you, the warning signs to watch out for, and what to do if you feel your gaming habits need a reset. All players registered on TablePlus5 are encouraged to read through this page and use the available tools proactively — not just when things have already gone wrong.
Six Ways We Help You Stay in Control
These tools are available to all registered players on TablePlus5. Use them early — you do not have to wait until things feel out of hand.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits can be made until the period resets.
Session Time Limits
Decide in advance how long you want each gaming session to be. When your time is up, the platform will remind you so you can make a conscious decision to continue or stop.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from gaming — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During a cool-off, you cannot log in or place bets, giving you space to reset without a full closure.
Self-Exclusion
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion lets you close your account for an extended period. During this time, your account is fully suspended and marketing communications are stopped.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you are willing to lose within a set timeframe. This helps prevent a bad session from turning into a significantly damaging one.
Reality Checks
Periodic on-screen reminders show you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent during the current session, keeping you aware of your activity in real time.
How to Access Your Responsible Gaming Tools
All responsible gaming tools are accessible directly from your TablePlus5 account settings. Here is how to find them:
Log In to Your Account
Use your registered mobile number or email and your secure password. OTP verification may be required for sensitive setting changes.
Go to Account Settings
Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section within your profile settings. All available tools are grouped there for easy access.
Choose Your Tool
Select the limit or restriction you want to apply — deposit cap, time limit, cool-off period, or self-exclusion — and set your preferred parameters.
Confirm the Change
Restrictions take effect immediately. Increases to limits or removal of restrictions may have a mandatory waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling does not always look obvious from the outside. It often develops gradually. Recognising the early warning signs — in yourself or in someone close to you — is the first step toward getting things back on track.
Ask yourself honestly whether any of the following apply to you regularly:
- You spend more money on gaming than you originally intended.
- You borrow money or sell things to fund gaming sessions.
- You chase losses — betting more to try to win back what you have already lost.
- Gaming is affecting your sleep, work, studies, or relationships.
- You feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop playing.
- You hide your gaming activity from family members or friends.
- Gaming feels like the only way to relieve stress or escape problems.
- You have tried to cut down before but found it difficult or impossible.
Quick Self-Assessment
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, we encourage you to take a break and speak with someone you trust.
Keeping Gaming Healthy and Fun
The players who enjoy online gaming the most over the long term are those who treat it as entertainment with a budget — the same way you would budget for a night out, a meal with friends, or a movie in Quezon City or Cebu. Here are some practical habits that help:
Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide on a fixed amount in PHP that you are comfortable spending — an amount you would not miss if it were gone. That is your gaming budget for the session or the week. Once it is gone, stop. Do not dip into rent money, grocery funds, or savings.
Treat Winnings as a Bonus, Not an Income
Winning feels great, but it is never guaranteed and it cannot be relied upon as a regular source of money. If you win, consider it a welcome bonus on top of your entertainment spending — not a sign that more wins are coming.
Time Your Sessions
It is easy to lose track of time when you are engaged in a game. Use the session time limit tool on TablePlus5 to set a clear end point. When the reminder arrives, take it seriously. Step away, get some water, and check in with how you are feeling.
Never Chase Losses
Chasing losses — increasing your bets to recover what you have lost — is one of the most common and damaging patterns in problem gambling. Accept that losing sessions happen, stick to your budget, and log off. Tomorrow is another day.
Balance Gaming with Other Activities
If gaming starts taking up time you used to spend on exercise, hobbies, family meals, or hanging out with friends in Manila or Davao, that is worth paying attention to. Healthy gaming fits into a full life — it does not replace it.
Protecting Young People
TablePlus5 is strictly a 21+ platform. We do not allow anyone under the age of 21 to register or play, and we take this seriously through our KYC identity verification process, which requires valid government-issued ID from all players.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend the following:
- Log out of your TablePlus5 account after every session, especially on shared mobile phones or tablets.
- Use a strong, unique password that other household members do not know.
- Enable device-level screen time or app restriction features where available.
- Keep financial details — including e-wallet credentials for GCash or Maya — private and inaccessible to minors.
If you suspect that a minor has accessed or registered on TablePlus5, contact us immediately at [email protected] so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
