Responsible Gaming at th15
Gaming at th15 is meant to be fun — a great way to unwind after a long day, whether you're in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere in the Philippines. But we also know that for some players, it can become more than just entertainment. That's why responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox for us — it's a core part of how th15 operates.
Our Commitment to You
th15 takes responsible gaming seriously. Here's what that means in practice for every Filipino player on our platform.
th15 is built around the idea that player wellbeing comes before revenue. Every feature on our platform — from deposit limits to session reminders — is designed to keep gaming enjoyable and within healthy boundaries for our Filipino players.
Philippine gaming regulations require players to be at least 21 years old. th15 enforces this through mandatory age verification during registration and KYC checks. Any account found to belong to a minor is immediately closed and all funds returned.
We give you real tools to manage how much you spend and how long you play. Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. Limit reductions take effect immediately — no waiting period, no friction.
If you feel you need a break, th15's self-exclusion tool lets you step away from the platform for a set period — from 30 days up to permanent exclusion. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Your wellbeing matters more than your next bet.
It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the middle of a bingo session or spinning slots. th15's reality check feature sends you periodic notifications showing how long you've been playing and your net gaming activity for the session.
Our customer support team is available 24/7 in English and Filipino. If you're concerned about your gaming habits — or those of someone you know — our support team is trained to help and can connect you with the right resources.
Your Player Protection Tools
All of these tools are available directly from your th15 account settings — no need to contact support to activate them.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Reducing your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing within a given period. When your loss limit is reached, th15 will automatically prevent further play until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping gaming within your personal budget.
Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, th15 will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This is especially useful for players in Metro Manila and other busy cities who want to keep gaming as a short, enjoyable break rather than an extended activity.
Need a short break without committing to full self-exclusion? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your account for a period you choose — from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this time, you cannot log in or make deposits. The period cannot be shortened once activated.
For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion suspends your account for a minimum of 30 days, up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, you will not receive any marketing communications from th15. This is the most comprehensive player protection tool we offer.
Set intervals — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — at which th15 will display a summary of your current session: time played, amount wagered, and net result. This gentle nudge helps you stay aware of your gaming activity without interrupting your experience unnecessarily.
How to access these tools: Log in to your th15 account, go to Account Settings, and select "Responsible Gaming." All tools are available there instantly. If you need help activating any tool, our 24/7 support team is ready to assist.
How to Self-Exclude on th15
Taking a break is easy. Follow these steps to activate self-exclusion on your th15 account — no waiting, no hassle.
Sign in to your th15 account using your registered email and password at th15.app.
Navigate to your Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" section from the menu.
Select your self-exclusion period: 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion.
Confirm your choice. Self-exclusion activates immediately and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.
Important: Self-exclusion on th15 applies to your th15 account only. If you feel you need broader support, we strongly encourage you to also reach out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming program and consider self-exclusion from other gaming platforms as well. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Need help activating self-exclusion? Contact our support team at [email protected] and we will process your self-exclusion request immediately — no questions asked, no pressure to reconsider.
Recognizing Problem Gambling
Gaming should always feel like fun, not a necessity. Here are some signs that gaming may be becoming a problem — for you or someone you care about.
Personal Warning Signs
You spend more money on gaming than you originally planned, and find it hard to stick to a budget even when you try.
You chase losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've already lost, even when it's not working.
Gaming is affecting your work, studies, or daily responsibilities. You're missing deadlines or neglecting important tasks.
You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not able to play, or when you try to cut back on gaming.
You're borrowing money, selling belongings, or using funds meant for rent, bills, or family needs to fund gaming.
You hide your gaming activity from family members or friends, or feel the need to lie about how much time or money you spend.
Signs in Someone You Know
They frequently talk about gaming, wins, or losses — it seems to dominate their thoughts and conversations.
They seem stressed, withdrawn, or irritable, especially around payday or when finances come up in conversation.
They've asked to borrow money without a clear explanation, or you've noticed unexplained financial difficulties.
They spend long hours on their phone or computer, especially late at night, and become defensive when asked about it.
Their mood seems closely tied to whether they've won or lost recently — big highs after wins, deep lows after losses.
They've tried to cut back on gaming before but haven't been able to, despite expressing a genuine desire to do so.
You're not alone. Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life — from Quezon City to Davao, from students to professionals. Recognizing the signs is the first and most important step. th15 is here to help, and so are the support organizations listed in the section below.
Strict 21+ Age Policy
Under Philippine gaming regulations, online casino gaming is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. th15 takes this requirement seriously and enforces it at every stage of the player journey — from registration through to ongoing account monitoring.
During registration, all players must confirm their date of birth and agree that they are at least 21 years old. Before any withdrawal is processed, th15 requires full KYC (Know Your Customer) verification, which includes submission of a valid Philippine government-issued ID such as a passport, driver's license, UMID, or PhilSys ID.
If at any point th15 has reason to believe that an account holder is under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended pending verification. If the player is confirmed to be underage, the account will be permanently closed and any deposits returned.
Parents and Guardians: Please ensure that minors in your household do not have access to your th15 account or your payment methods. If you suspect a minor has accessed th15, contact our support team immediately at [email protected].
Age Verification Process
Accepted IDs: Passport, Driver's License, UMID, PhilSys ID, SSS ID, Voter's ID
Tips for Healthy Gaming
Gaming at th15 is best enjoyed as a form of entertainment — not as a way to make money or escape problems. Here are some practical tips to keep it that way.
Set a budget before you play. Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you log in — and treat it like money spent on any other form of entertainment, like a movie or a night out in Makati.
Never chase losses. If you've hit your budget for the day, stop. Chasing losses is one of the most common ways recreational gaming turns into a problem. Tomorrow is another day.
Take regular breaks. Use th15's session timer to remind yourself to step away. Grab a snack, stretch, or chat with family. Gaming is more enjoyable when it's part of a balanced day.
Don't play when stressed or upset. Emotional states can lead to impulsive decisions. If you've had a rough day at work or a difficult situation at home, it's better to unwind in a different way first.
Keep gaming in perspective. The house always has an edge. Enjoy the experience for what it is — entertainment — and celebrate wins as a bonus, not an expectation.
Use your protection tools. th15's deposit limits, loss limits, and session timers are there for a reason. Setting them up takes two minutes and can make a real difference in keeping gaming fun long-term.
