At abc356, we believe gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress or financial harm. Our responsible gaming program gives every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.
Six pillars that define how abc356 keeps gaming safe and enjoyable for every player in the Philippines.
abc356 strictly enforces the 21-year minimum age requirement for all players in the Philippines. Every new account goes through a mandatory identity and age verification process before any real-money gaming is permitted.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your abc356 account dashboard. Bet limits and loss limits are also available so you can define your own boundaries before you start playing.
If you feel you need a break, abc356 offers self-exclusion options ranging from a 24-hour cooling-off period to a permanent account closure. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period.
abc356 lets you set session time alerts so you always know how long you have been playing. Regular reminders help you take breaks and keep gaming a leisure activity, not a habit that takes over your day.
Our reality check feature shows you a summary of your wins, losses, and time spent during each session. Staying informed about your actual gaming activity is one of the most effective ways to keep things in perspective.
Our customer support team is available around the clock to assist with responsible gaming requests — whether you need to set a limit, request a cooling-off period, or simply talk to someone about your gaming habits.
In the Philippines, participation in casino-style gaming and online betting is legally restricted to individuals who are at least 21 years of age. abc356 takes this requirement seriously and enforces it without exception.
During registration, every player must submit a valid government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, SSS card, UMID, or driver's license — to confirm their identity and date of birth. Accounts that cannot be verified will not be permitted to deposit or play for real money.
If abc356 discovers at any point that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter will be reported to the appropriate regulatory authorities. We also encourage parents and guardians to use device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms.
Honest self-assessment is the first step. Ask yourself if any of the following apply to you:
If you answered yes to two or more of these, we strongly encourage you to use abc356's self-exclusion tools or reach out to a professional support service.
Taking a break is easy. Follow these steps to activate self-exclusion on your abc356 account at any time.
Visit abc356 and log in using your registered email and password. Make sure you are on the official abc356 platform.

Select from a 24-hour cooling-off, 7-day break, 30-day suspension, 6-month exclusion, 1-year exclusion, or permanent closure.
Review your selection and confirm. You will receive an email confirmation. The exclusion takes effect immediately and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.
If you have trouble accessing your account settings, contact abc356 support directly. Our team will process your self-exclusion request within one hour.
abc356 gives you full control over your spending and playing time. All limits can be set or reduced immediately; increases take 24 hours to take effect as a safeguard.
