Gaming Should Always Be Fun — Not a Problem
At bonusok, we take responsible gaming seriously. We know that for the vast majority of our players — whether they're spinning JILI slots in Makati, playing live baccarat in Cebu, or joining a bingo session in Davao — online gaming is a fun, relaxing pastime. We want to keep it that way.
Problem gambling affects a small but significant number of players, and the impact it has on individuals, families, and communities across the Philippines is real. bonusok is committed to identifying at-risk behaviour early, providing effective tools to help players manage their activity, and making it as easy as possible to seek help when needed.
Responsible gaming at bonusok means three things: prevention (making sure players never develop harmful habits in the first place), intervention (identifying at-risk behaviour and offering support before it escalates), and protection (giving players powerful tools to stay in control of their gaming at all times).
bonusok's responsible gaming program is built to meet and exceed the standards set by PAGCOR for all licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. Our policies are reviewed regularly in line with updated PAGCOR guidelines and national responsible gaming frameworks.
If you ever feel that your gaming is no longer under control, or if someone you know is struggling, bonusok urges you to use the tools available on this page — and to reach out to our support team at any time via 24/7 live chat or at [email protected]. You are never alone.
Quick Self-Assessment
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we encourage you to speak with bonusok's support team.

Take Control With bonusok's Built-In Safe Play Features
Every registered bonusok player has immediate access to these responsible gaming tools directly from their account dashboard — no waiting period, no approval required.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine Peso (₱) directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, bonusok will automatically prevent further deposits until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.
Session Time Limits
Define how long you want to play in a single session. bonusok will display a visible countdown timer and notify you when your session limit approaches. When the limit is reached, your session will end automatically. You can also enable optional session reminders at 30-minute intervals.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum net loss you are comfortable with over any daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is hit, bonusok will suspend further real-money wagering for the remainder of that period. This tool is particularly useful for players who want a hard financial boundary separate from their deposit cap.
Cooling-Off Period
Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to place real-money wagers for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, you can still log in to review your account history, but deposits and gameplay are locked. Cooling-off periods cannot be cancelled early.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger measure for players who feel they need a longer break from gaming. You can apply for self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing communications are suspended, and you cannot create a new account on the bonusok Platform.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable reality check pop-ups that appear at regular intervals during your gaming session — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each reminder displays how long you have been playing and your net win/loss for the session, giving you an honest snapshot of your activity so you can make an informed decision about whether to continue.
Strictly 21 and Above — No Exceptions
Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino gambling is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. bonusok enforces this requirement rigorously at every stage of the player journey.
Every new bonusok registration triggers a mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) age verification process. Before a player can make their first deposit or place a single wager, they must submit a valid government-issued Philippine ID — such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, UMID, SSS ID, PRC ID, or driver's licence — confirming that they are at least 21 years old.
Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately and permanently suspended, all balances will be forfeited, and the case will be reported to PAGCOR and, where appropriate, to the relevant Philippine law enforcement authorities. bonusok will never knowingly allow an underage individual to gamble on its platform.
If you suspect that a person under 21 has registered a bonusok account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with details. We will investigate and act immediately to protect the minor involved.
Mandatory KYC at Registration
All new players must complete identity and age verification before any real-money activity is permitted. No deposits, no wagers, no withdrawals until verification is confirmed by bonusok's KYC team.
Account Suspension for Violations
Any account where the registered player is found to be under 21, or where false identity documents have been submitted, will be permanently closed and the matter escalated to PAGCOR.
No Marketing to Minors
bonusok does not direct any marketing communications, promotional materials, or advertising to individuals who are under 21 years of age, in full compliance with PAGCOR advertising standards.
How bonusok Self-Exclusion Works
Self-exclusion is one of the most effective tools available to players who recognise that their gaming is becoming a problem. bonusok makes the self-exclusion process straightforward, immediate, and enforceable — because when you need help, speed matters.
Once applied, self-exclusion is taken seriously. bonusok will not attempt to re-engage self-excluded players with promotions or bonus offers, and our support team will not facilitate early termination of an active exclusion period without following the proper review process.
bonusok participates in PAGCOR's national responsible gaming framework, which includes referral pathways to broader exclusion programs where applicable. Contact our support team to learn more about your options under PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines.
You can apply for self-exclusion through any of the following channels:
- Account Dashboard: Navigate to Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion and follow the on-screen steps.
- 24/7 Live Chat: Tell our support agent you wish to self-exclude. They will process your request immediately while you are connected.
- Email: Send a request to [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and your registered account email. We will action this within one hour.
Self-exclusion takes effect within minutes of your request being confirmed. You do not need to provide a reason.
During your self-exclusion period, the following will happen immediately and automatically:
- Your bonusok account will be locked — you cannot deposit, wager, or access gaming content;
- All pending bonuses and promotional offers will be cancelled;
- All marketing and promotional emails, SMS, and push notifications from bonusok will be suspended;
- Any attempt to create a new bonusok account using the same identity documents will be detected and blocked;
- Your account balance at the time of exclusion will be preserved and can be withdrawn following a mandatory 72-hour review period.
Self-exclusion periods are designed to be firm commitments. bonusok will not reverse a self-exclusion at immediate request. For exclusions of 6 months or 1 year, a formal reinstatement request may be submitted no sooner than 30 days before the exclusion period is due to expire, and is subject to a responsible gaming review by our team. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.
This policy exists to protect you. We encourage you to use the full exclusion period to seek support and recover before returning to gaming.
- 6 Months — Recommended for players experiencing mild to moderate concern about their gaming habits.
- 1 Year — Suitable for players who have identified a clear pattern of problematic behaviour and want a meaningful break.
- 3 Years — For players who have experienced significant negative consequences from their gaming and need extended support.
- Permanent — A lifetime exclusion for players who have made the decision to stop gambling entirely. This cannot be reversed under any circumstances.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always obvious — even to the person experiencing it. bonusok asks all players to be aware of these warning signs, both in themselves and in people around them.
bonusok's Proactive Monitoring System
bonusok does not wait for players to come to us — our responsible gaming system actively monitors player behaviour for early warning signs and intervenes proactively.
Behavioural Pattern Analysis
bonusok's system flags unusual patterns — such as dramatic increases in session duration, large bet escalations after losses, or late-night gaming sessions extending beyond several hours — for review by our responsible gaming team.
Proactive Player Outreach
When our system identifies at-risk behaviour, a member of bonusok's trained responsible gaming team will reach out to the player directly — via live chat or email — to offer information about our player protection tools and support resources.
Mandatory Intervention Thresholds
Players who trigger multiple responsible gaming flags within a 30-day period will be subject to a mandatory responsible gaming review, which may include temporary deposit restrictions or a required check-in with our support team before gaming activity can resume.

bonusok's Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun
The vast majority of bonusok players enjoy gaming responsibly. Here are practical habits that help keep it that way.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending — treat it like an entertainment budget, the same way you would budget for a night out in BGC or a movie in SM Megamall. Once it is gone, stop. Never use money earmarked for rent, bills, groceries, or family needs.
Limit Your Playing Time
Set a time limit before each session and stick to it. Use bonusok's session time limit feature to enforce it automatically. Gaming is more enjoyable when it is one part of a balanced day — not the whole day.
Play for Fun, Not to Earn
Online gaming at bonusok is entertainment. Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as expected income. The house always has a mathematical edge — that is how gaming economics work. Never rely on gaming to pay bills or supplement your salary.
Never Chase Losses
Chasing losses is one of the fastest routes to problem gambling. If you have reached your budget limit — even if you are on a losing streak — stop. Accept the loss, log out, and come back another day when you are in a calmer headspace.
Take Regular Breaks
Step away from the screen regularly — at least once every hour. Grab a snack, take a walk, chat with a friend or family member. Extended uninterrupted gaming sessions cloud judgment and lead to poor decisions.
Talk Openly About Gaming
Healthy gaming has nothing to hide. If you find yourself being secretive about how much you play or how much you spend, that is a red flag worth paying attention to. Talk to a trusted family member or friend — or reach out to bonusok's support team.
