Betting on G89com is meant to be fun — a bit of extra excitement when your PBA team is playing, or some downtime with a Pusoy game on your break. The moment it stops feeling fun, we want to help. This page is for every G89com member who wants to bet smarter and stay in control.
Responsible gaming is not just a policy statement at G89com — it is something the team actively builds into the platform. Every feature we develop, from deposit flows to account dashboards, is reviewed with one question in mind: does this help members stay in control of their betting activity?
For most people, betting on G89com is exactly what it should be: a casual, enjoyable pastime. You put ₱300 on the PBA game, watch it live, maybe win something, maybe not — and that is the end of it. Responsible gaming tools are there as a safety net for the times when that balance starts to shift.
Problem gambling affects a small percentage of players, but the harm it causes is very real. G89com takes that seriously because our members are real people — your kabayan, your family members, your officemates who enjoy a punt on volleyball. We want every single one of them to be able to use G89com without it becoming a problem in their lives.
Every tool listed here is available to all G89com members, free of charge, and can be activated at any time by contacting our support team.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your G89com account per day, week, or month. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limits can be reduced instantly but increases take 24 hours to activate — a deliberate cooling-off measure.
Cap the total amount you can lose on G89com within a set time period. If your net losses reach the threshold you have set, you will be automatically locked out of placing further bets until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for preventing chasing behaviour.
Set a maximum duration for any single G89com session. When your time is up, you will receive a notification and be logged out automatically. This helps prevent extended or unplanned sessions — particularly useful for late-night betting when judgment is often impaired.
Take a short break from G89com by requesting a cooling-off period of 1, 7, 30, or 90 days. During this time your account will be temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. The period activates immediately and cannot be shortened once set.
Self-exclusion is for members who feel they need a longer or permanent break from G89com. You can choose periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is irrevocable within the chosen period — no re-registration will be permitted during that time.
Enable pop-up notifications that appear during your G89com session at regular intervals — every 30 minutes, for example — showing you how long you have been playing and your net win or loss for the session. A simple nudge that helps you make more conscious decisions about continuing or stopping.
Activating any responsible gaming control on G89com takes under five minutes. You do not need to provide a reason or go through an approval process. Here is how it works:
This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — just a set of honest questions to help you reflect on your G89com activity. If you find yourself nodding along to several of these, it may be worth reaching out for support.
Do you find yourself thinking about betting or G89com when you are doing something else entirely — at work, during meals, or while trying to sleep?
Have you ever bet more than you originally planned because you wanted to chase a loss or get back to "even"?
Have you borrowed money, skipped bills, or used money set aside for something important in order to fund betting on G89com or elsewhere?
Have people close to you — family, friends, a partner — expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on online betting?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to place a bet or access G89com?
Have you ever tried to cut back on your betting but found it harder than expected?
Do you use betting as a way to escape stress, problems at work, relationship difficulties, or low moods?
Limit how much you deposit into G89com per day. Great if you want to keep your betting spend predictable.
Automatic logout after your chosen session length. Helps prevent unplanned extended betting sessions.
A 1- to 90-day cooling-off period. Your G89com account is suspended immediately and fully.
A longer-term or permanent break. No re-registration allowed during your chosen exclusion period.
Review your full G89com bet history and net balance at any time from your account area.
Filipino support team available anytime via live chat or email. No question is too small.
Problem gambling does not always look dramatic. It often develops gradually — one extra bet here, a slightly higher deposit there — until it starts to affect finances, relationships, and mental health. Knowing the early warning signs can make a real difference.
Recognising one or two of these in yourself does not mean you have a serious problem — it means now is a good time to reassess. G89com's responsible gaming tools are designed to help you reset before things escalate.
These are the questions G89com members ask most often about our responsible gaming tools and policies.
Online betting is growing fast across the Philippines. GCash and Maya have made it easier than ever to fund an account and start playing, which is great for accessibility but also means that responsible gaming practices matter more than ever. G89com sits in a position of real responsibility here, and we do not take that lightly.
Most Filipinos who bet online do so casually and without serious harm. They follow PBA games, join Pusoy sessions with friends, or occasionally check odds on international football. For this group, responsible gaming tools are a background safety net they may never need. That is perfectly fine.
But for a smaller group, betting can become something more problematic — especially during stressful periods like job loss, relationship difficulties, or financial pressure. These are the members that G89com's responsible gaming programme is ultimately designed to protect, even when they may not recognise the need themselves.
Responsible gaming at G89com is also about education. Understanding the mechanics of games — that every spin or bet is independent, that streaks are not predictive, that no system beats the house edge over time — helps members make more informed decisions about their betting activity.
These are not rules — they are habits that experienced, in-control bettors tend to share. Worth thinking about next time you log in to G89com.
Decide in advance how much you are willing to spend on G89com today, and stop when you hit it — win or lose.
Increasing your bet size to recover a loss is one of the fastest paths to problem gambling. Accept the loss and log out.
Step away from G89com during sessions, especially if you are on a losing run. A 15-minute break gives you perspective.
Avoid logging in to G89com when you are stressed, sad, or trying to escape something. Those sessions rarely go well.
Set deposit limits now, before you feel like you need them. It is much easier to set controls when you are thinking clearly.
