Player Safety · PAGCOR Regulated
At hyph, we believe gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, debt, or harm. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep gaming safe and enjoyable. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
hyph gives every player practical tools to stay in control of their gaming activity.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your hyph account to make sure you never spend more than you're comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — without a mandatory cooling-off period.
Losing track of time is one of the most common signs of problem gambling. hyph lets you set session time reminders and hard limits so you always know how long you've been playing — and can step away when the time is up.
Need a short break? Use hyph's cool-off feature to temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account and balance are safely preserved.
If you feel that gaming has become a problem, hyph's self-exclusion tool allows you to permanently close your account for a minimum of six months or indefinitely. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the chosen period and is the strongest protection hyph offers.
Set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, hyph will automatically prevent further bets for that period. This tool helps you protect your bankroll and avoid chasing losses — one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors.
hyph's customer support team is available around the clock via live chat. If you're concerned about your gaming habits — or those of someone you know — our support agents are trained to listen, provide information, and connect you with the right resources.
Age Restriction
Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino gaming is strictly restricted to individuals who are at least 21 years of age. This is not just a rule — it's a legal requirement that hyph takes very seriously.
Every hyph player must complete identity verification (KYC) before making their first deposit. This process confirms your age using a valid Philippine government-issued ID — such as your PhilSys National ID, UMID, driver's license, or passport.
If you are a parent or guardian, we encourage you to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor has registered a hyph account, please contact our support team immediately.
Underage gambling is illegal in the Philippines. hyph will immediately close any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age.

Self-Assessment
Problem gambling can develop gradually — and it's not always easy to recognize in yourself. Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to take a break or seek support.
If you answered yes to 2 or more questions, we strongly encourage you to use hyph's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team. Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
How to Self-Exclude
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool hyph offers. Here's how to activate it in four simple steps:
Access your account via the hyph Login page. Make sure you are logged in to the account you wish to self-exclude.
Navigate to your Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" section. You will find all limit and exclusion tools here.
Select a self-exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. All other periods require a mandatory cooling-off before reinstatement.
Confirm your decision. Your account will be immediately suspended. Any remaining real-money balance will be returned to your registered payment method (GCash, PayMaya, or bank account) within 5 business days.
You can also request self-exclusion directly via hyph's 24/7 live chat support if you prefer assistance from a support agent.
Healthy Gaming Habits
Gaming at hyph should be a form of entertainment — like watching a PBA game or going to the movies. Here are some practical tips to keep it that way:
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start. Treat it like an entertainment expense — once it's gone, stop.
Set an alarm before you start playing. When it goes off, take a break — step away from the screen, have a snack, or go for a walk.
Losing streaks happen to everyone. Chasing losses by betting more is one of the fastest ways to develop a gambling problem. Accept the loss and log off.
Avoid gaming when you're feeling stressed, anxious, or upset. Emotional states can lead to impulsive decisions and overspending.
Make sure gaming is just one of many leisure activities in your life. Spend time with family in Quezon City, Makati, or Davao — gaming should never replace real-life connections.
Take advantage of hyph's built-in deposit, loss, and session time limits. Setting these up proactively is the smartest thing a responsible player can do.
