At pots888, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your means. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable — for the long haul.
pots888 puts player wellbeing first. Every tool on this page is free, available 24/7, and designed to keep you in control of your gaming.
pots888 gives every registered player access to these tools — completely free, available 24/7, and effective immediately upon activation.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your pots888 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.
Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing within a set timeframe. When your loss limit is hit, pots888 will automatically pause your gaming session for the remainder of that period. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming budget in check.
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your time is up, pots888 will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. You can also enable reality check pop-ups that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
Receive periodic on-screen notifications during gameplay showing your session duration, total amount wagered, and net result. These gentle nudges help you stay aware of your activity without interrupting the fun — unless you decide it's time to stop.
Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your pots888 account remains open but you cannot log in or place any wagers. This is perfect when you feel you need a short reset without fully closing your account.
For players who need a longer break, pots888 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is fully suspended and cannot be reopened until the exclusion period ends. This is our strongest responsible gaming tool.
Setting up responsible gaming controls on pots888 takes less than two minutes. Here's how to do it from your account dashboard:
Visit pots888 and log in using your registered email and password. Make sure you're on the official pots888 platform at https://pots888.app.
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu to access your personal dashboard.
Find the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. All available tools — deposit limits, loss limits, session timers, cool-off, and self-exclusion — are listed here.
Choose the tool you want to activate, enter your preferred limit or duration, and confirm. Changes that reduce your limits take effect immediately. Increases require a mandatory 24-hour review period.
If you're having trouble activating any responsible gaming tool, or if you want to request self-exclusion urgently, contact our 24/7 support team. We'll process your request right away — no questions asked.

Honest self-reflection is the first step. If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to use pots888's responsible gaming tools or seek outside support.
Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses — or borrowing money to fund gaming sessions.
Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've already lost, often leading to even bigger losses.
Hiding your gambling activity from family members, friends, or colleagues, or lying about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to gamble, or when you try to cut down on your gaming activity.
Spending more time gambling than you originally intended, or finding it difficult to stop once you've started a gaming session.
Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties rather than for entertainment.
Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or social relationships because of time or money spent on gambling.
Needing to bet larger and larger amounts to get the same level of excitement or satisfaction from gambling.
