Gaming Should Always Be Fun

lock789 takes responsible gaming seriously — not just because PAGCOR requires it, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of every Filipino player on our platform. Whether you're spinning slots in Makati, playing live bingo in Cebu, or betting on your favourite PBA team from Davao, we want your experience to stay enjoyable and within your means.

Problem gambling is a real concern that affects individuals and families across the Philippines. The signs can be subtle at first — chasing losses, spending more than you planned, or feeling anxious when you're not playing. lock789 is here to help you recognise those signs early and take action before things escalate.

We have built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the lock789 platform. These tools are free, easy to use, and available to every registered player at any time. You don't need to wait until there's a problem — using these tools proactively is the smartest way to keep your gaming healthy and sustainable.

Our responsible gaming framework is aligned with PAGCOR's player protection guidelines and reflects international best practices in the online gaming industry. We regularly review and update our tools and policies to ensure they remain effective and accessible to all Filipino players.

Is Your Gaming Still in Control?

Reflect honestly on these questions. If you answer "yes" to two or more, consider using our responsible gaming tools or reaching out to our support team.

Q01 Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned?
Q02 Do you chase losses by continuing to play after losing a significant amount?
Q03 Has gaming started to affect your work, studies, or relationships?
Q04 Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down on gaming?
Q05 Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming activity?
Q06 Do you hide your gaming activity from family members or close friends?
If any of these resonate with you, please contact our support team at [email protected] — we're here to help, not to judge.

Tools Built to Keep You in Control

Every lock789 player has access to the following responsible gaming tools directly from their account settings. No waiting, no approval needed — activate them instantly, any time.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps on your lock789 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Session Time Limits

Define how long you want each gaming session to last. When your time is up, lock789 will display a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. It's a simple but powerful way to stay aware of how long you've been playing.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you're comfortable losing over a defined period. Once that threshold is hit, your account is automatically restricted from further wagering until the limit period expires — protecting your bankroll before it becomes a problem.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your lock789 account is suspended from all gaming activity. You can still access your account history and withdraw any remaining balance.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, lock789 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is fully locked and cannot be reopened until the exclusion period ends — or ever, if you choose permanent exclusion.

Reality Check Alerts

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session. These gentle nudges help you stay grounded and make conscious decisions about whether to continue playing.

How to Self-Exclude on lock789

Requesting self-exclusion is straightforward and takes less than five minutes. Here's how to do it:

01
Log In to Your Account

Access your lock789 account using your registered credentials. Navigate to the Account Settings section from the main menu.

02
Go to Responsible Gaming

Inside Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All player protection tools, including self-exclusion, are listed here.

03
Select Self-Exclusion Duration

Choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. Read the terms carefully before confirming.

04
Confirm Your Request

Confirm your identity and submit the request. Your account will be locked immediately. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered address.

05
Withdraw Your Balance

Any remaining balance in your account can be withdrawn even during self-exclusion. Contact [email protected] if you need assistance processing your withdrawal.

Important: Self-exclusion is a serious commitment. lock789 will not accept any requests to reopen a self-excluded account before the exclusion period ends. If you choose permanent exclusion, your account cannot be reopened under any circumstances.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the warning signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting help.

Spending more than you can afford, borrowing money to gamble, selling personal belongings to fund gaming sessions, neglecting bills or financial obligations, or hiding financial losses from family members are all serious red flags that warrant immediate attention.

Spending increasing amounts of time gaming, neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities, becoming secretive about gaming activity, lying to loved ones about how much time or money you spend, or feeling unable to stop even when you want to are all behavioural indicators of a developing problem.

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gaming; using gambling as a way to escape stress, loneliness, or personal problems; feeling euphoric only when gambling; or experiencing guilt and shame after gaming sessions are emotional signs that gaming may have become more than just entertainment.

One of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling is "chasing losses" — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've already lost. This behaviour often leads to larger losses and can quickly spiral out of control. If you notice yourself doing this, activate a cool-off period or contact our support team immediately.
You Are Not Alone. Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across the Philippines — from Manila to Cebu to Davao. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. lock789's support team is available 24/7 at [email protected].

Tips for Playing Responsibly

Good Habits to Build
  • Set a strict budget before you start playing and stick to it — treat it like an entertainment expense, not an investment.
  • Use lock789's deposit and loss limit tools to enforce your budget automatically.
  • Take regular breaks during gaming sessions — step away, have a snack, stretch.
  • Only play with money you can genuinely afford to lose without affecting your daily life.
  • Keep gaming as one of many leisure activities — balance it with time spent with family, friends, and other hobbies.
  • Review your gaming history regularly to stay aware of your spending patterns.
Habits to Avoid
  • Never gamble when you are stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Do not chase losses — accept that losing is part of gaming and walk away when your budget is spent.
  • Never borrow money, use credit cards, or dip into savings to fund gaming sessions.
  • Avoid thinking of gambling as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
  • Do not skip meals, sleep, or important responsibilities to spend more time gaming.
  • Never hide your gaming activity from people who care about you — secrecy is a warning sign.
