Responsible Gaming
on manga18

At manga18, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress or financial harm. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools and information they need to stay in control.

"Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop."
21+
Strictly 21 Years and Above Only

In accordance with Philippine gaming regulations, the manga18 Platform is exclusively available to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. Age verification is required during registration. Any account found to be held by a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned.

manga18 Responsible Gaming Tools

We've built a full suite of player-protection features directly into the manga18 platform — because your wellbeing always comes first.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your manga18 account. Once set, limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered instantly — increases require a 24-hour cooling period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing over a set period. manga18 will automatically pause your gaming session once your loss limit is reached, giving you a clear boundary before things go too far.

Session Time Reminders

It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the zone. manga18's session reminders send you a notification after a set duration — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or a custom interval — so you always know how long you've been playing.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your manga18 account will be temporarily suspended and you won't be able to log in or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling has become a problem, manga18's self-exclusion tool allows you to permanently close your account. This decision is irreversible for a minimum of 6 months and can be made permanent upon request.

Reality Checks

manga18's reality check feature displays a summary of your current session — time played, total wagered, and net result — at regular intervals. Staying informed helps you make better decisions about when to stop.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying casino games — slots, bingo, live dealer, and more — as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or escape problems. For the vast majority of manga18 players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines, gaming is a fun pastime. But for some, it can become problematic.

Problem gambling is a recognised condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. The good news is that with the right tools and awareness, it is entirely preventable and manageable. manga18 is here to help every step of the way.

Remember: Gambling should always be funded from your disposable income — money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with money set aside for rent, food, bills, or your family's needs.

Healthy Gaming Habits

Set a budget before you start and stick to it — win or lose.

Treat gaming as entertainment, not as a source of income.

Take regular breaks and never chase your losses.

Balance gaming with other hobbies, family time, and social activities.

Never gamble when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.

Use manga18's responsible gaming tools proactively — don't wait until there's a problem.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the warning signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting help. Ask yourself honestly:

Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling?
Have you tried to win back money you've lost by gambling more?
Have you lied to family or friends about how much you gamble?
Has gambling caused problems with your relationships, work, or finances?
Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression?
Have you borrowed money or sold possessions to fund gambling?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use manga18's self-exclusion tool and seek support. You are not alone — help is available.

How to Use manga18's Safety Tools

All responsible gaming tools are available free of charge from your manga18 account settings. Here's how each one works:

Setting Deposit Limits

Log in to manga18 → Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Choose daily, weekly, or monthly. Reductions apply immediately; increases require a 24-hour review period.

Activating Session Reminders

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Session Reminders. Set your preferred interval. A pop-up will appear during gameplay showing your session stats at the chosen time.

Taking a Cooling-Off Break

Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Cooling-Off. Select 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account will be suspended immediately for the chosen period.

Requesting Self-Exclusion

Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Choose a minimum 6-month exclusion or a permanent closure. Once confirmed, your account is locked and all marketing communications are stopped immediately.

Configuring Loss Limits

Under Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Loss Limits, set the maximum amount you're willing to lose per day, week, or month. manga18 will pause your session automatically when the limit is reached.

Need a Longer Break?

manga18's self-exclusion program is designed for players who feel they need a serious, enforced break from gambling. Once you activate self-exclusion, your account is immediately and completely locked — you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets for the duration of your chosen exclusion period.

During self-exclusion, manga18 will also remove you from all promotional mailing lists and bonus communications. Any pending withdrawals will be processed and returned to you. We take self-exclusion seriously — attempts to create a new account during an active exclusion period will be detected and blocked.

Self-exclusion is available for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly at [email protected] or use the in-app tool in your account settings.

Self-Exclusion Options
6 Months
Minimum exclusion period — account locked, no access
1 Year
Extended break with full account suspension
3 Years
Long-term exclusion for serious recovery
Permanent
Irreversible account closure — no reinstatement
