Responsible Gaming
Gaming should be entertainment you can afford, never a way to make money. Here is how to keep it that way.
The 21+ rule
You must be 21 or older to gamble in the Philippines and Malaysia. If you are under 21, please leave this site.
A simple budget method
- Take your monthly income and subtract all essentials: rent, food, bills, family support, savings.
- From what is left, choose a small, fixed entertainment amount for gaming.
- Set that as your monthly deposit limit at OKGAMES. Never borrow, and never use money meant for bills.
Tools to use
- Deposit limits (daily, weekly or monthly)
- Session reminders and time limits
- Cool-off breaks from 24 hours to several weeks
- Self-exclusion for 6 months or more
Set these up straight after you register.
Warning signs
- Chasing losses or “winning it back”
- Hiding play from family
- Borrowing or selling things to gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing
- Taking bonuses you would not normally want, just to keep playing (see bonus red flags)
