Gambling is entertainment — not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. abc356 gives every Filipino player the tools to stay in control and play safely.
This isn't fine print. It's a platform-wide value.
At abc356, responsible gaming isn't something we mention once in the footer and forget about. It's built into how the platform operates — from the mandatory 21+ age verification before your first deposit, to the deposit limit tools available on every account, to the way our support team is trained to recognize and respond to signs of problem gambling.
The Philippines has a genuine gambling culture — from the neighborhood tong-its game in Quezon City to the high-limit baccarat tables in Parañaque. abc356 respects that culture and the Filipino players who enjoy it. But we also know that gambling can become harmful when it stops being fun and starts becoming a financial or emotional burden. When that line is crossed, abc356 wants to be part of the solution — not part of the problem.
Every single abc356 account has access to the full suite of responsible gaming tools described on this page — no special request required, no waiting period to activate them. They are there because we believe every player deserves the ability to set their own limits, take breaks, or step away entirely without friction.
abc356 operates under a PAGCOR license and is bound by PAGCOR's responsible gaming requirements. Our responsible gaming program is reviewed and maintained in alignment with PAGCOR's player protection guidelines.
Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations set the minimum gambling age at 21.
The minimum age to create an abc356 account and participate in any form of online gambling on our platform is 21 years old. This is not a preference — it is a legal requirement under Philippine law and a condition of abc356's PAGCOR operating license.
Every new abc356 account is subject to mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification before withdrawals are processed. This includes submission of a valid, government-issued Philippine ID document (PhilSys, Passport, UMID, Driver's License, or similar). Date of birth is verified against the submitted document. Any account found to be registered by a person under 21 years of age will be immediately suspended, all deposits refunded where legally possible, and the matter reported to PAGCOR.
abc356 also encourages parents and guardians to use parental controls on shared household devices and to have open conversations with young family members about the risks of underage gambling. If you suspect a minor has gained access to an abc356 account, contact our support team at once.
Every tool below is available in your abc356 account settings right now — free, instant to activate, and always on your side.
Set a maximum deposit amount on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Reductions apply immediately. Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. Available from your abc356 account settings at any time.
Set a maximum session length. When your session time is up, abc356 will automatically log you out. You can also enable on-screen session time reminders so you always know how long you've been playing.
Set a maximum net loss amount over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is reached, abc356 will prevent further deposits and bets until the limit period resets — protecting you from chasing losses.
Need a short break without fully closing your account? Set a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or a custom duration. During this time, you cannot deposit, bet, or claim bonuses — giving you space to reset.
Self-exclusion closes your abc356 account for a minimum period of 30 days. You cannot reopen the account or create a new one during this period. Permanent self-exclusion is also available and is irrevocable. This is the strongest tool available for players who need to stop entirely.
Enable reality check notifications that appear on-screen at intervals you choose (e.g., every 30 minutes). Review your full session history, bet history, win/loss record, and deposit history at any time from your abc356 account dashboard.
Honestly ask yourself — or ask about someone you care about. These signs matter.
Problem gambling doesn't always look the same for everyone. Some people gamble in secret. Others gamble openly but can't stop even when they want to. Some chase losses with bigger and bigger bets — telling themselves the next round will win it all back. For Filipino families, where gambling is often social, it can be especially difficult to recognize when enjoyment has become something more serious.
The following signs are commonly associated with problem gambling. If several of these apply to you or someone close to you, it may be time to seek support.
Self-exclusion is the strongest player protection tool available. Here's how to activate it.
Self-exclusion means voluntarily closing your abc356 account for a set period — or permanently. During self-exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, place bets, or claim bonuses. abc356 will also flag your account to prevent new registrations under the same identity during the exclusion period.
You can activate self-exclusion in two ways:
Go to abc356 Login at /abc356-login and access your player dashboard.
Find the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings menu.
Choose from 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 180 days, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Permanent exclusion is irrevocable.
Your account will be locked immediately upon confirmation. Any pending withdrawals will be processed to your registered payment method.
If you cannot access your account, email [email protected] and our team will activate self-exclusion on your behalf within 1 hour of receiving your request.
Answer honestly. If you answer "yes" to 3 or more, consider activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
Do you gamble more than you originally planned, in terms of time or money?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult?
Do you think about gambling when you're doing other things?
Have you gambled to try to win back money you'd already lost?
Has gambling caused stress with your family, friends, or finances?
If you answered yes to 3 or more questions, we encourage you to activate a cooling-off period or self-exclusion from your abc356 account settings right away.
You don't have to deal with problem gambling alone. Support is available in the Philippines.
Problem gambling is a recognized behavioral health issue — it's not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. Millions of people around the world, including in the Philippines, have sought and received help for gambling-related problems. Reaching out is the hardest step, and it's also the most important one.
PAGCOR, as the Philippine government's gaming regulatory authority, maintains responsible gaming programs and player support resources as part of its mandate to regulate the country's gambling industry. Filipino players experiencing gambling-related difficulties are encouraged to reach out to PAGCOR's player welfare channels for guidance and referrals to appropriate support services.
abc356 is committed to facilitating access to responsible gaming support. If you contact our team at [email protected] and indicate that you are experiencing gambling-related difficulties, our trained support staff will assist you with activating player protection tools and can provide information about available support pathways in the Philippines.
abc356 support is available 8:00 AM – 12:00 AM PHT, 7 days a week. Email: [email protected] — please include "Responsible Gaming" in your subject line and our team will prioritize your message.
abc356 takes every reasonable measure to prevent individuals under 21 from accessing the platform. Beyond mandatory KYC age verification, abc356 recommends the following steps for households where the abc356 platform is accessed on shared devices:
