At Wephant, we believe every player in the Philippines deserves a safe and enjoyable experience. Our responsible gaming tools and guidelines are here to help you stay in control, keep it fun, and know when to take a break.
Online gaming and betting are a popular pastime across the Philippines — from the busy streets of Makati to the beaches of Cebu. Millions of Filipinos enjoy a round of Tongits, a quick spin on the slots, or placing bets on their favourite NBA team. But para sa amin dito sa Wephant, the fun only stays fun when you are playing within your means and on your own terms.
Responsible gaming is not just a legal requirement for us — it is a core part of how we operate. We have invested in a range of tools and resources that put control directly in your hands. Whether you need to set a daily deposit limit, take a cooling-off period, or self-exclude entirely, Wephant gives you the options you need to manage your play responsibly. Our support team is also available around the clock to help any player who feels they may be developing unhealthy habits.
This page walks you through everything you need to know about responsible gaming at Wephant — from the warning signs of problem gambling, to the practical tools available on your account, to where you can get help if you or someone close to you needs it. We want every kabayan to have a great time, and that starts with playing smart.
Our responsible gaming toolkit is built around you. These features are free, easy to use, and available directly from your Wephant account dashboard.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps in Philippine Peso (₱). Once your limit is reached, Wephant will automatically block further deposits for that period — no ifs, no buts. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to keep things fair.
It is easy to lose track of time when you're on a hot streak. Our session timer lets you cap how long you can play in a single sitting. When the timer runs out, you will get a notification and the option to log out. It is a simple nudge that makes a big difference.
Need a short break? A cooling-off period lets you temporarily pause your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account data and balance are kept safe until you come back.
If you feel your gaming has become a problem, self-exclusion lets you close your Wephant account for an extended period — from 6 months up to 5 years. During exclusion, you cannot register a new account. Contact our support team to activate this option any time.
Set a maximum amount you are comfortable losing over a set period. This is separate from deposit limits and gives you a tighter safety net when you are playing live games or betting on NBA matches. Your winnings are never capped — only losses are controlled.
Enable pop-up reminders that appear at regular intervals during a gaming session, showing you how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and your net result. A quick reality check goes a long way in keeping responsible gaming on track.
Problem gambling can creep up on anyone — even the most casual player. Being honest with yourself about the signs below is the first step towards responsible gaming. If several of these sound familiar, please reach out for help.
