Gambling at 718pub Casino is meant to be enjoyable entertainment — a fun way to spend your free time, not a source of financial stress or personal problems. This page explains 718pub's commitment to responsible gaming, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to find support if gambling stops being fun.
Understanding the Issue
Gambling is entertainment. The moment it stops being that, something needs to change.
At 718pub Casino, responsible gaming is not a disclaimer at the bottom of a page. It is a live commitment that shapes how the platform is designed, how promotions are structured, how support teams are trained, and how we respond when a player signals that they need help. Every Filipino player on 718pub deserves to enjoy the games in a way that keeps gambling in its proper place — as leisure, not a lifeline.
Problem gambling is a recognised health condition that can affect anyone, regardless of income, age, or background. It is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. In the Philippine context, where gambling culture is deeply embedded in everyday life — from neighbourhood bingo to PBA-season sports bets — the line between social gambling and problematic behaviour can sometimes blur gradually without players noticing.
That's why 718pub has built a full set of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform. You don't need to contact support to set a deposit limit — you can do it from your Account settings right now. Self-exclusion can be activated in minutes. Session time warnings are available as a default option for all 718pub players. These tools exist because we believe that informed, empowered players who stay in control have a better experience on 718pub in the long run.
The sections below walk through each tool in detail, explain the warning signs of problem gambling, and list the support resources available to Filipino players who need professional help. Please take the time to read through them — especially if you're a first-time player or someone who has recently increased how much time or money they're spending on gambling.

Available Tools
Every tool below is available to all 718pub players, completely free, at any time.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly limit on how much you can deposit into your 718pub Account. Limits take effect immediately when lowered and require a 24-hour cooling-off period when raised — protecting you from impulsive increases. You can set these directly in your Account settings without needing to contact support.
In addition to deposit limits, 718pub allows you to set a maximum loss amount per session, per day, or per week. Once your loss limit is reached, further gameplay is automatically suspended for the period you've set. This tool is specifically designed to prevent the "chasing losses" pattern that accelerates problem gambling.
Set a time limit for each gaming session on 718pub. When your limit is approaching, the platform will display a reminder — giving you time to wrap up naturally. You can also set an automatic logout that ends your session when the time limit is reached, regardless of the game state. Session controls are especially useful for mobile players who lose track of time.
Enable in-session reality check notifications at intervals you choose — every 30 minutes, every hour, or every two hours. When triggered, 718pub displays a summary of how long you've been playing, your total bets for the session, and your net result. This brief moment of awareness helps many players make better decisions about whether to continue or stop.
If you want a short break without a full self-exclusion, 718pub offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 72 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you cannot deposit or place bets. Cooling-off activates immediately and cannot be shortened once set. This tool is designed for players who recognise they need a pause before things become more serious.
Self-exclusion permanently suspends your 718pub Account for a period you select — six months, one year, three years, or permanently. It takes effect within minutes of your request, and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period under any circumstances. 718pub will not re-open an excluded account early, regardless of the reason provided.
How to Use These Tools
Access your account via 718pub.club/718pub-login using your registered email and password.
Click on your account name or profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
In the settings menu, find the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Safety" section. All tools — deposit limits, cooling-off, self-exclusion — are accessible from this page.
Select the tool you want to activate, set your parameters, and confirm. Most tools take effect immediately. You'll receive a confirmation via email.
If you prefer, the 718pub live chat team can activate any responsible gaming tool on your behalf — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Self-Exclusion — Important Details
When you activate self-exclusion on 718pub, the following actions take place immediately:
Account suspension: Your 718pub Account is suspended. You cannot log in, deposit, or place bets for the full duration of the exclusion period.
Promotional communications stopped: 718pub will immediately remove you from all marketing communications — bonus emails, promotional SMS, and push notifications.
Balance returned: Any remaining real-money balance in your Account will be returned to your registered GCash or Maya account, once KYC verification is confirmed.
No early re-opening: 718pub will not re-open a self-excluded account before the chosen exclusion period has elapsed — for any reason. If you contact support during the exclusion period asking to play again, we will decline and encourage you to seek support instead.
Extension available: If you wish to extend your exclusion period while already excluded, you can do so by contacting 718pub support. Extensions are processed without a waiting period.
