Tools That Keep You in the Driver's Seat

We give every player on vipph app practical controls to manage how they play — no complicated steps, just straightforward options built right into your account.

Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings on vipph app. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until the cooling-off period has passed. This gives you a firm financial boundary so your entertainment spending never creeps beyond what you are comfortable with. Lowering your limit, on the other hand, takes effect right away — because we always prioritise your protection over platform revenue. If you are unsure what limit suits your lifestyle, start conservatively and adjust upward only when you are confident it is the right move.

Session Time Reminders

Long gaming sessions can pass quickly when you are caught up in the excitement, which is why vipph app lets you set session time reminders that alert you when you have been playing for a chosen duration. You decide the interval — whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or longer — and the platform will notify you so you can take a break, reassess, and decide whether to continue. Regular breaks are one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits you can build. Stepping away, even briefly, helps you stay emotionally balanced and make clearer decisions about your play. We encourage all Filipino players to use this feature as a standard part of their gaming routine.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that you need a more definitive break from gaming, vipph app offers a self-exclusion option that temporarily or permanently restricts access to your account. You can choose a self-exclusion period ranging from a few days to an indefinite block, depending on what you need. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets — and our system will not send you any promotional communications. Reactivating your account after a self-exclusion requires a deliberate request and a mandatory cooling-off period to ensure the decision is considered. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to protect your wellbeing.

Activity History

Transparency is a core part of responsible gaming, and vipph app gives you full visibility into your gaming activity through a detailed account history dashboard. You can review your deposit and withdrawal records, session durations, and game-by-game activity at any time. Reviewing your history regularly is a healthy habit that helps you spot patterns before they become problems. If you notice that your spending or session lengths are trending upward in a way that concerns you, that is a good moment to use one of the limit tools available in your account. Knowledge of your own behaviour is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools there is.

Cool-Off Periods

A cool-off period is a short, structured break from gaming — typically between 24 hours and 30 days — that you can activate whenever you feel you need to step back without committing to a full self-exclusion. During a cool-off, your account remains open but betting and deposits are suspended, giving you space to reflect without permanently closing your account. This option is ideal for players who recognise early warning signs and want to act on them proactively. Activating a cool-off is quick and can be done at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. We encourage players to use this tool freely — there is no stigma in taking a break.

Account Protection

Keeping your account secure is also part of responsible gaming — an account that only you can access is an account you can control. vipph app uses two-factor authentication and login alerts to help you stay on top of any unusual activity. Never share your login credentials with anyone, including friends or family members, as this can lead to unintended spending that falls outside your personal limits. If you suspect your account has been accessed without your permission, contact our support team immediately and we will act swiftly to secure it. A protected account is a responsible account.

Recognise the Warning Signs Early

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing what to look for — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting things back on track.

Signs to Watch Out For

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford
  • Chasing losses by placing more bets to try to win back what you have lost
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play
  • Neglecting work, studies, family, or social commitments because of gaming
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund your gaming activity
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gaming
  • Using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems
  • Feeling unable to stop or cut back even when you want to

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Set a fixed entertainment budget before you start and stick to it
  • Treat gaming as leisure, not as a source of income or a financial strategy
  • Take regular breaks and never play when you are tired, stressed, or upset
  • Balance gaming with other hobbies, social activities, and responsibilities
  • Accept losses as part of the experience and never chase them
  • Use the account tools available on vipph app to stay within your own limits

Where to Get Help in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, support is available. The National Council on Problem Gambling Philippines and PAGCOR's responsible gaming programme both offer confidential guidance and counselling for Filipino players. You can also reach out to mental health hotlines such as the DOH Mental Health Crisis Hotline at 1553, which operates around the clock. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness — and the sooner you reach out, the easier it is to regain control. Our support team at vipph app can also point you toward the right resources if you are unsure where to start.
