21+ ONLY — STRICTLY ENFORCED BY soloph AND PAGCOR

Responsible Gaming at soloph

soloph is committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. Gambling should be entertainment — not a source of financial stress or personal harm.

If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, please read this page in full and use the tools available to you.

Important: Online gambling is for entertainment only. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please use the self-exclusion and support tools on this page immediately.

Our Commitment to Filipino Players

soloph takes responsible gaming seriously — not because regulations require it, but because it is the right way to operate a gaming platform serving Filipino communities from Manila to Mindanao. We understand that for most players, gaming on soloph is a form of entertainment enjoyed within comfortable limits. But we also know that for some people, gambling can become a problem that affects their wellbeing, their families, and their finances. That is why soloph has embedded responsible gaming tools directly into every account — not hidden behind menus, but accessible from your dashboard at all times.

The soloph responsible gaming framework is built around three principles: prevention, intervention, and support. Prevention means enforcing the 21+ age restriction without exception and providing clear information about how games work, including return-to-player (RTP) rates and the mathematical certainty of a house edge. Intervention means monitoring for signs of problem gambling behaviour and proactively reaching out when indicators appear. Support means connecting Filipino players who need help with resources — including PAGCOR's responsible gaming channels — without judgement and without delay.

soloph complies fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework for licensed online operators in the Philippines. Our responsible gaming obligations form part of our operating licence conditions and are audited regularly. This is not optional — but more importantly, it reflects what soloph genuinely believes is the ethical way to run an online gaming platform in the Philippines.

The 21+ Rule — No Exceptions

Under PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law, the minimum age to participate in casino-style gambling — including online slots, live casino, sports betting, and bingo — is 21 years old. soloph enforces this absolutely. Every new account registration requires date of birth submission, and all accounts are subject to age verification through the KYC (Know Your Customer) process, which requires a valid Philippine government-issued photo ID.

Accounts found to be held by players under 21 years of age will be immediately closed. Any balance held in an underage account will be returned to the depositing payment source after mandatory regulatory reporting. We take no shortcuts on this — not for first-time players, not for existing high-value accounts. The 21+ rule protects young Filipinos from harm, and soloph treats it as non-negotiable.

If you are a parent or guardian and suspect that a minor in your household has accessed soloph using your account or created their own, please contact soloph support via live chat immediately. We will act on the report within one business day and provide guidance on how to protect your account and report the matter appropriately.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always look obvious. Many Filipino players who develop a gambling problem continue to function normally in their daily lives for some time before the effects become visible to others. The following are common warning signs — in yourself or someone you know:

Spending more time or money on gambling than you originally intended or planned
Chasing losses — placing additional bets to try to recover money already lost
Borrowing money, using savings, or selling possessions to fund gambling
Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when not gambling or when trying to cut down
Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling
Gambling as a way to escape problems, stress, depression, or feelings of helplessness
Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health due to gambling
Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, reduce, or stop gambling

If you recognise three or more of these signs in yourself, soloph strongly encourages you to use the self-exclusion and limit tools available in your account, and to seek support from the resources listed at the bottom of this page. Recognising the signs early makes a real difference.

soloph Responsible Gaming Tools

Every soloph account includes the following responsible gaming tools, available at no charge. You can tighten any limit instantly — loosening a limit has a mandatory 7-day cooling-off period.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your soloph account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Setting this limit is the single most effective way to stay in control of your gaming spend.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss — the total amount you are comfortable losing — over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. When your net loss reaches the limit, soloph will lock further gameplay for the remainder of the period. This prevents chasing losses in a single session.

Session Time Reminders

Set a maximum session duration. soloph will display a notification when your session reaches the limit, giving you a clear prompt to take a break. You can set these reminders from as short as 30 minutes to several hours, depending on your preference.

Reality Check Alerts

Periodic pop-up messages during active gaming sessions that display how long you have been playing and your net result for the session. Reality checks are a proven tool for breaking the flow-state that can cause players to lose track of time and money during extended sessions.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary (minimum 6 months) or permanent self-exclusion from the soloph platform at any time via 24/7 live chat. Self-exclusion is processed within 24 hours. During the exclusion period, your account is locked, marketing is stopped, and the account cannot be reopened regardless of requests.

Cooling-Off Period

Request a short-term cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in to your soloph account or place any bets. This is ideal if you feel you need a short break but are not ready to commit to a full self-exclusion.

How to Set Your Limits on soloph

soloph has made responsible gaming tools as easy to access as possible — you should not have to search for them or wait for approval. Here is how to set your limits:

1
Sign in to your soloph account
Log in through the soloph Login page using your registered email and password.
2
Go to Account Settings
From your account dashboard, select "Account Settings" then navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" section.
3
Choose your tool and set your limit
Select deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, or reality checks. Enter your preferred limit and confirm. Tightening a limit takes effect immediately.
4
For self-exclusion — contact live chat
Self-exclusion and cooling-off requests are processed via 24/7 live chat to ensure they are handled with appropriate care. A support agent will confirm the exclusion is applied within 24 hours.
Cooling-off rule: Limit increases (e.g. raising a deposit limit) have a mandatory 7-day waiting period before taking effect. Decreases take effect immediately. This is a regulatory requirement, not something soloph can override.
Keeping Gaming Fun — Practical Tips

Most Filipino players who enjoy soloph do so responsibly. These practical habits help keep gaming as entertainment:

Set a budget before you play — Decide on a fixed amount in Philippine Peso that you are comfortable spending, treat it like a cinema or dining-out budget, and stop when it is gone.
Never chase losses — If you have reached your session budget, accept it and log out. The next session starts fresh; chasing rarely works and often makes things worse.
Take regular breaks — Stand up, stretch, drink water. Sessions lasting several hours without breaks are associated with higher financial losses and poorer decision-making.
Don't play when stressed or upset — Gambling as a coping mechanism for stress, loneliness, or anxiety is one of the most common pathways into problem gambling. Play when you are relaxed and in a good headspace.
Balance gaming with other activities — Maintain your regular social connections, hobbies, exercise, and responsibilities. Gaming should complement your life, not replace other activities.
Understand how games work — Every casino game on soloph has a built-in house edge. Slots, baccarat, roulette — all are designed to pay back slightly less than they take in over time. Long-term profit is statistically unlikely. Play for the experience, not as an income strategy.
Talk to someone you trust — If you feel your gambling is getting out of control, talking to a trusted family member or friend in the Philippines is often the first step to getting it back under control.
