At pocophone, we believe that gaming should always be fun, social, and within your control. We are committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable.
pocophone is strictly for players aged 21 and above. This is a legal requirement under Philippine gambling regulations. We actively verify player age during registration and reserve the right to suspend any account where the age requirement is not met.
Our commitment to every Filipino player on the pocophone platform
For most players, pocophone is exactly what it's meant to be – a fun, exciting way to enjoy bingo, slots, live dealer games, and Andar Bahar from the comfort of your home in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or wherever you are in the Philippines. But we also know that for some people, gambling can stop being fun and start becoming a problem. That's something we take seriously.
Responsible gaming at pocophone isn't just a page on our website – it's built into how we operate. From the moment you register, you have access to a full suite of player protection tools that put you in control of your gaming activity. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits. You can take a cool-off break. And if you ever feel like you need to step away completely, our self-exclusion program is available to you at any time, no questions asked.
pocophone operates in compliance with PAGCOR regulations, which include mandatory responsible gaming standards for all licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. We train our customer support team to recognize signs of problem gambling and to respond with empathy and practical assistance. We also work with recognized support organizations to ensure that players who need help can find it quickly.
Remember: Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. Always set a budget before you play, and never chase your losses. If gambling stops being fun, it's time to stop. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
Built into your pocophone account – available anytime, instantly
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your pocophone account. Limits take effect immediately when reduced and can only be increased after a 7-day cooling period.
Set a session duration reminder so pocophone notifies you when you've been playing for a set amount of time. It's easy to lose track – this tool keeps you aware without interrupting your game.
Take a short break from gaming without closing your account. Choose a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in or deposit.
If you need a longer break, self-exclusion blocks access to your pocophone account for a minimum of 6 months, up to a permanent exclusion. Contact our support team to activate this immediately.
Set a maximum amount you're comfortable losing in a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, pocophone will prevent further wagers until the limit period resets.
Receive periodic pop-up summaries showing how long you've been playing and your net win/loss for the session. A quick reality check helps you make informed decisions about continuing.

pocophone enforces a zero-tolerance policy on underage gambling
Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online gambling is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 21. pocophone takes this requirement seriously. Every new account undergoes age verification during the KYC process, and we reserve the right to request additional proof of age at any time.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using device-level parental controls and never saving your pocophone login credentials on shared devices. If you suspect that a minor has accessed a pocophone account, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
All players must submit a valid Philippine government-issued ID confirming they are 21 or older before withdrawals are processed.
Any account found to belong to a person under 21 is immediately suspended, all funds are forfeited, and the case is reported to PAGCOR.
Gaming is at its best when it's fun, social, and within your means. Set your limits, play at your own pace, and remember – pocophone is here for entertainment, not as a source of income. If you ever need support, we're just an email away.
