At 205 pub, gaming is meant to be fun, entertaining, and within your control. We take responsible gaming seriously — not as a legal formality, but as a genuine commitment to every Filipino player on our platform. This page explains your rights, the tools available to you, and what to do if gaming stops feeling fun.
Every 205 pub account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls — accessible directly from your account dashboard at any time, with no waiting period for activation.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amounts. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Increases to deposit limits require a 7-day cooling-off period to take effect — decreases apply instantly. This gives you a reliable financial ceiling that you cannot impulsively override.
Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a set period. When your net loss reaches the limit you've chosen, 205 pub will automatically prevent further gameplay for the remainder of that period. This tool is especially useful for players who want hard boundaries without depending on willpower alone.
Set a maximum continuous session duration. When your session reaches the defined limit, 205 pub will display a break reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. Periodic reality-check prompts are displayed during extended sessions to remind you of how long you've been playing and your current balance.
Take a short break from 205 pub without permanently closing your account. Cooling-off periods are available in durations from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your account and any pending withdrawals remain accessible to our support team for resolution.
If you feel you need a long-term or permanent break from gaming, self-exclusion closes your 205 pub account for a minimum of 6 months. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of your request. Once activated, 205 pub will take all reasonable technical steps to prevent you from opening a new account, including blocking your known email addresses, phone numbers, and payment methods.
205 pub can send you automatic reminders during active play sessions — at 30, 60, or 90-minute intervals — showing your current session duration and net win/loss position. These prompts are designed to interrupt the flow of play and encourage you to make a conscious, informed decision about whether to continue.
Self-exclusion is a serious and effective tool. Here's exactly how to activate it on your 205 pub account. The whole process takes less than five minutes — and once confirmed, your exclusion is enforced immediately.
Access your account via the 205 pub login page. You need to be logged in to initiate a self-exclusion request. If you are unable to access your account, contact our 24/7 live chat support team directly — they can initiate the exclusion process on your behalf after identity verification.
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. You will find all available tools here: deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, cooling-off, and self-exclusion. This section is prominently accessible from the main account dashboard and is not hidden behind multiple menus.
Select the Self-Exclusion option. You will be asked to choose a minimum exclusion period (6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or permanent). Read the terms carefully — self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Any promotional communications will also be stopped immediately.
Confirm your request by entering your account password and completing an OTP verification. This two-step confirmation ensures that self-exclusion is a deliberate, intentional action and not an accidental click. Your exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of confirmation.
If you have an available balance at the time of self-exclusion, our support team will contact you to arrange a withdrawal to your verified payment method. Funds are returned within 5 business days. Bonus balances that have not met wagering requirements are forfeited in accordance with 205 pub's Terms & Conditions.
Honest self-reflection is the first step. If you answer "yes" to several of the questions below, we strongly encourage you to use 205 pub's player protection tools or reach out for professional support.
Do you find yourself gambling with money that was intended for essential expenses — rent, groceries, bills, or your children's school fees?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling on your own, but found yourself unable to follow through?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to reduce or stop your gambling activity?
Have you lied to family members, friends, or your employer about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
Do you chase your losses — continuing to bet after a losing session in an attempt to recover what you lost?
Has gambling caused significant conflict in your personal relationships, or led to neglect of your family, work, or personal responsibilities?
Have you borrowed money, sold personal property, or taken out a loan to fund your gambling activity?
Do you think about gambling when you are not playing — planning your next session, thinking about past wins, or scheming ways to get more money to bet?
Do you gamble as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other difficult emotions?
Has anyone close to you — a partner, parent, sibling, or close friend — expressed concern about your gambling habits?
If you answered yes to 3 or more questions, please consider speaking to a professional. The NCMH Crisis Hotline at 1553 is free, confidential, available 24/7, and staffed by trained counsellors who understand gambling-related concerns. You can also use 205 pub's self-exclusion tool immediately from your account settings.
Philippine law requires that all casino-style online gaming be restricted to persons aged 21 years and older. 205 pub takes this requirement seriously — not just because PAGCOR mandates it, but because we genuinely believe that protecting young Filipinos from the risks of gambling is a moral obligation, not just a regulatory checkbox.
Our age verification process begins at registration and may be enforced again at any time — including before a first withdrawal, when suspicious age-related indicators are detected, or when a complaint is received. Players who cannot prove they are 21 or older will have their accounts immediately suspended, all pending bets voided, and any deposits returned to the source payment method.
205 pub also actively supports PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework — including participation in the PAGCOR Self-Exclusion Program (PSEP), which allows players to self-exclude across all PAGCOR-licensed operators simultaneously. If you wish to self-exclude across the entire Philippine licensed gaming market, contact PAGCOR directly through its official channels.
PAGCOR-mandated minimum age for all online casino activity in the Philippines.

Cross-operator self-exclusion available via PAGCOR's official responsible gaming program.
