Responsible Gaming at TMT88

Gaming is meant to be entertaining — not stressful. TMT88 is committed to giving every player in the Philippines the tools and information they need to stay in control.

Important: TMT88 is strictly for players aged 21 and above. Gaming involves real money and carries risk. Never wager more than you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.

Gaming Should Always Be Fun

At TMT88, we genuinely care about the well-being of our players. Whether you are spinning slots, watching a live dealer game, or placing bets on your favourite PBA team, the experience should feel enjoyable — not like something you have to do.

We know that for most players, online gaming is a leisure activity they enjoy in their free time, much like watching a game on TV or going out with friends on a Friday night in Quezon City. The key is keeping it that way: a pastime, not a pressure.

Problems with gambling can develop gradually, and they can affect anyone regardless of background or income. That is why TMT88 has built responsible gaming tools directly into the platform — not hidden away in fine print, but accessible to every account holder at any time.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

It is not always easy to recognise when gaming has stopped being fun and started becoming a problem. Here are some honest signs worth paying attention to:

Ask Yourself These Questions

Do you spend more money or time gaming than you originally planned?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut back on gaming?
Do you find yourself chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you lost?
Have you borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?
Has gaming caused tension with family, friends, or your work?
Do you hide your gaming activity from the people close to you?
Do you use gaming as a way to escape stress, sadness, or anxiety?

If you answered yes to two or more of these, it may be a good time to step back and review your gaming habits. You can contact our support team through your account to discuss the tools available to you.

Tools TMT88 Provides

We have made it straightforward to manage how you use the platform. These tools are available to all registered members:

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your TMT88 account. Once the limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be decreased — not increased — without a cooling-off period. This puts a firm boundary on how much you spend.

Session Reminders

You can enable session time reminders so the platform notifies you after you have been logged in for a set period. It is an easy way to stay aware of how much time you are spending without thinking too hard about it.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends access to your account for a defined period — anywhere from 24 hours to several weeks. During this time, you cannot log in or place bets. It is a useful option if you feel you need distance but are not ready for a longer exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is for players who want to take a longer, more serious break from gaming. When you choose self-exclusion, your TMT88 account is deactivated for the duration you select, and you will not receive any promotional communications during that time. This option is available through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.

Practical Tips for Healthy Gaming

These habits will not guarantee you win, but they will help make sure gaming stays a positive part of your life:

1
Set a Budget Before You Start

Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the app. Treat it like money spent on a night out — once it is gone, you stop for the day.

2
Never Chase Your Losses

Losing streaks happen. The worst thing you can do is bet bigger to try to win it all back. Take a break and come back with a clear head.

3
Set a Time Limit Too

It is easy to lose track of time. Use the session reminder feature or simply set an alarm on your phone before you start playing.

4
Keep Gaming Separate from Finances

Only use discretionary funds — money set aside for entertainment. Never use your rent, bills, or savings as a gaming budget.

5
Take Regular Breaks

Step away every hour or so. Grab a snack, take a walk around your place in Manila or Cebu, and give your mind a rest before continuing.

6
Do Not Play Under Pressure

Avoid gaming when you are stressed, upset, or have been drinking. Decisions made under pressure are rarely the ones you want to stick with.

Getting Help and Support

Recognising that gaming has become a problem takes courage, and reaching out for help is always the right move. If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, please talk to someone you trust — a friend, family member, or counsellor.

You Are Not Alone: Many people in the Philippines deal with gaming-related concerns. Speaking openly with family or a trusted friend is often the first and most important step toward getting things back on track.

TMT88's support team is available around the clock through the live chat and support channels in your account. If you want to use any of the responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, self-exclusion, or a cooling-off period — simply reach out and we will take care of it promptly and without judgment.

We also encourage players to explore general mental health and financial counselling resources available in the Philippines, including those offered through community health centres and government social welfare services.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can set a deposit limit by going to your account settings once you are logged in. Choose your preferred limit period — daily, weekly, or monthly — and enter the maximum amount in Philippine Peso (₱) you want to be able to deposit. The limit takes effect immediately and can be lowered at any time. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period before it applies.

When you activate self-exclusion, your account is suspended for the duration you select. You will not be able to log in, place bets, or access any gaming features during this time. All promotional communications are also paused. If you have a pending withdrawal, our support team will process it in accordance with standard procedures. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team through your account.

Yes. A cooling-off period restricts new deposits and gameplay, but any existing balance in your account remains yours. You can contact our support team to arrange a withdrawal of your available balance at any time during a cooling-off or self-exclusion period.

Our support team includes agents who can communicate in Filipino. If you prefer to discuss your gaming habits or account tools in Tagalog, just let our support team know when you start a conversation and we will do our best to assist you in your preferred language.

All new players are required to verify their age during the registration and KYC process. Players must be 21 years of age or older to create an account and access any gaming features. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be suspended immediately and the matter handled according to our platform policies.
