1Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At 9kgo, we believe that a great gaming platform has a responsibility to its players — not just to provide entertainment, but to make sure that entertainment stays within healthy limits. Responsible gaming is built into how we operate, from the tools we make available in your account to the way our support team is trained to respond.
We want every player — whether you're in Manila following a PBA game, catching a live casino session in Cebu, or spinning slots from Davao — to feel confident that 9kgo has measures in place to protect you. That means being honest about how gambling works, giving you real control over your activity, and making it easy to ask for help when you need it.
2 Who Can Play on 9kgo
9kgo is strictly for adults aged 21 years and above. This is a firm requirement, not a guideline. All new accounts go through an identity verification process, and we reserve the right to request supporting documents at any time to confirm a player's age and identity.
If you suspect that someone under 21 is accessing 9kgo — including a family member or someone using your device — please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We take underage access seriously and will act on all reports promptly.
3 Setting Your Own Limits
One of the most effective ways to keep gaming in check is to set personal limits before you start playing — not after a losing streak. 9kgo provides account-level controls that let you manage your activity on your own terms.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period.
Session Time Limits
Limit how long you play in a single session so you stay aware of how much time you spend.
Cool-Off Period
Take a short break from the platform — a few days or weeks — without fully closing your account.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or temporarily block yourself from accessing your 9kgo account.
To request any of these controls, reach out to our support team at [email protected]. Our team will apply the limits to your account as quickly as possible. Requests to reduce limits or activate self-exclusion take effect immediately. Requests to increase limits may involve a short waiting period to give you time to reconsider.
4 Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually and is not always easy to spot, especially when you're in the middle of it. These are some of the signs that gaming may be becoming a problem rather than a pastime:
If you recognise several of these in yourself, it is worth taking a step back. Gaming should feel like a choice, not a compulsion. Please consider using our self-exclusion tool or speaking to a professional counsellor.
5 Practical Tips for Healthy Play
Most players who enjoy 9kgo responsibly follow a few simple habits that keep their gaming fun and financially sustainable. Here are some practical guidelines worth adopting:
- Set a budget before you play. Decide how much PHP you are comfortable spending in a session, and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment — not an investment to recover.
- Never chase losses. If you've reached your budget for the day, stop. Trying to win back money you've lost tends to lead to larger losses.
- Set a time limit. It's easy to lose track of time when gaming. Decide in advance how long you'll play, and stick to it.
- Balance gaming with other activities. If gaming is taking the place of hobbies, socialising, or family time on a regular basis, that's a sign to reassess.
- Don't play when you're stressed or upset. Emotional states can lead to impulsive decisions and higher spending. Play when you're in a clear, relaxed mindset.
- Avoid gaming under the influence. Alcohol or other substances impair judgement and make it harder to stick to limits.
- Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen periodically during a session. A short break helps you stay grounded and make clearer decisions.
6 Self-Exclusion and Account Closure
If you feel that you need a longer break or want to stop playing entirely, 9kgo supports self-exclusion at your request. Self-exclusion means your account will be blocked and you will not be able to log in or make deposits for the duration of the exclusion period.
To request self-exclusion, contact us at [email protected] with your account details and the type of exclusion you need. We offer:
- Temporary cool-off: A short break of a few days or weeks, after which your account returns to normal.
- Extended self-exclusion: A longer period — several months or more — with a mandatory waiting period before reactivation.
- Permanent closure: A permanent ban from the platform with no option for reactivation.
