Our Commitment

Safe Play Principles

Everything we do at demo games is built around keeping Filipino players safe, informed, and in control of their gaming activity.

Set a Personal Budget

Before you start any gaming session on demo games, decide in advance exactly how much money you are comfortable spending — and treat that amount as your absolute limit for the day, week, or month. Gaming should always be funded from your disposable entertainment budget, never from money set aside for rent, food, bills, or savings. Once your budget is reached, close the app and step away; chasing losses by depositing more is one of the most common signs that play is becoming unhealthy. We recommend writing your budget down or using a budgeting app so the figure feels real and concrete before you log in. If you find it difficult to stick to a self-imposed limit, our support team can help you set a formal deposit limit directly on your account. Remember that no win is guaranteed, and every session should be approached as entertainment spending rather than a source of income. Keeping your finances separate from your gaming activity is the single most effective habit for long-term responsible play.

Manage Your Playing Time

Time can pass very quickly during an engaging gaming session, and it is easy to lose track of how long you have been playing without realising it. We encourage all Philippine players to set a time limit before each session — whether that is thirty minutes, one hour, or whatever feels right for your lifestyle — and to use your phone's built-in screen time tools or a simple timer to keep yourself accountable. Taking regular breaks between sessions helps you stay mentally fresh, make clearer decisions, and enjoy the experience more fully rather than playing on autopilot. If you notice that gaming is regularly cutting into time you had planned for family, work, sleep, or other activities, that is a clear signal to reassess your habits. demo games supports healthy play patterns, and our team can assist you in setting session time reminders or cooling-off periods if you feel you need additional structure. Balancing gaming with other hobbies and social activities is key to keeping it a positive part of your leisure time. Never play when you are tired, stressed, or under the influence of alcohol, as these states significantly impair judgement and increase the risk of impulsive decisions.

Self-Exclusion & Account Controls

If you feel that your gaming activity is getting out of hand and you need a firm break, demo games offers a self-exclusion option that allows you to temporarily or permanently suspend your account. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or participate in any games, giving you the space and time you need to regain perspective. To request self-exclusion or a cooling-off period, simply contact our support team via the email address listed in the footer of this page, and we will process your request promptly and without judgement. You can also request that we lower your deposit limits, set maximum session durations, or restrict access to specific game categories if you prefer a more targeted approach. All account control requests are handled confidentially and with full respect for your privacy. We strongly encourage any player who feels they are losing control to use these tools without hesitation — reaching out early is always the right decision. Your wellbeing matters far more to us than any single gaming session.

Recognising Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually, and many players do not realise there is an issue until it has already begun to affect their daily life. Some of the most common warning signs include spending more money than you planned, feeling anxious or irritable when you are not playing, lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend on gaming, and continuing to play in an attempt to recover previous losses. Other signs include neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities in favour of gaming, borrowing money to fund your play, or feeling that gaming is the only activity that brings you relief from stress or negative emotions. If any of these patterns sound familiar, please take them seriously — they are not signs of weakness, but signals that it is time to seek support. Talking to someone you trust, whether a friend, family member, or professional counsellor, is a brave and important first step. Our support team at demo games is also available to point you toward appropriate resources in the Philippines.

Protecting Minors

demo games is strictly an adults-only platform, and we do not permit anyone under the age of 21 to register, deposit, or participate in any games. During the registration process, all players are required to confirm their age, and we conduct identity verification checks to ensure compliance with Philippine regulations. If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend enabling parental controls or device-level restrictions to prevent accidental or unauthorised access to gaming platforms. Parents and guardians should have open conversations with young people about the nature of online gaming and the importance of responsible habits from an early age. If you suspect that a minor has accessed a gaming account, please contact our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action. We take our responsibility to protect young people extremely seriously, and any account found to belong to a minor will be closed without delay. Keeping gaming environments safe for all age groups is a shared responsibility between platforms and families.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Quick answers to what Philippine players most often ask about safe and responsible play on demo games.

To set a deposit limit, contact our support team using the email address in the footer of this page and specify the daily, weekly, or monthly limit you would like applied to your account. Our team will process the request promptly and confirm once the limit is active. Deposit limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming spending within a comfortable range, and we encourage all players to use them proactively rather than waiting until there is a problem. Once a limit is set, it cannot be increased immediately — there is a mandatory cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. If you ever wish to lower your limit further, that change takes effect right away.

Yes. demo games offers temporary cooling-off periods that allow you to pause your account for a set duration — such as 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, or longer — without permanently closing it. During this period, you will not be able to log in or make any deposits, giving you the space to step back and reassess your habits. At the end of the cooling-off period, your account will be available again if you choose to return. If you feel you need a longer or permanent break, we also offer full self-exclusion. Contact our support team to arrange either option, and we will handle your request with full confidentiality and without any pressure.

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, there are professional support services available in the Philippines. The National Council on Problem Gambling and local mental health organisations can provide counselling, support groups, and referrals to qualified professionals. Your family doctor or a licensed psychologist can also be a good first point of contact if you are unsure where to start. demo games encourages any player who feels their gaming is causing harm to seek help without delay — there is no shame in asking for support, and early intervention makes a significant difference. Our support team can also provide guidance on finding appropriate resources in your area.

Gaming on demo games is intended for adults aged 21 and above who are playing purely for entertainment. It is not suitable for individuals who are under the legal age, those who are in financial difficulty or in debt, people who are recovering from a gambling problem, or anyone who finds it difficult to control their spending or time when gaming. If you fall into any of these categories, we strongly advise against creating an account or continuing to play. Responsible gaming means being honest with yourself about whether gaming is a healthy activity for you at this point in your life. If you are unsure, speaking with a trusted friend, family member, or professional counsellor is always a good first step.
