Play Smart

Responsible Gaming at legitlink

Online gaming should be fun — and it stays fun when you stay in control. legitlink provides every Philippines player with the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience healthy and within budget.

21+
Age Requirement
Philippines Only

Important: Online gaming involves real financial risk. Outcomes are never guaranteed and no strategy produces consistent winnings. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and always treat it as entertainment — not income.

Built-In Controls in Your Account


These tools are available to every registered legitlink member through their account settings. They are immediate, free to use, and never require justification.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much PHP you can deposit into your account. Reductions take effect immediately. Any request to increase a limit goes through a mandatory cooling-off period before it activates.

Reductions: instant

Session Time Reminders

Set a session length limit and receive a notification when you reach it. The reminder appears on screen and gives you the option to end your session. It won't force you to stop, but it keeps track of how long you've been playing.

Available on app & browser

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cool-off period your account is temporarily suspended. No bets can be placed and no deposits can be made until the period ends.

Active within minutes

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or semi-permanently exclude yourself from the platform. Once active, all access is suspended, all promotional communications stop, and the exclusion cannot be reversed for the duration you set. Minimum period: 6 months.

Immediate & binding

Activity History

View a full log of your betting activity, deposits, withdrawals, and net results over any date range. Having a clear picture of your spending is one of the most effective ways to stay on track with your personal budget.

Available in account settings

Account Verification (KYC)

Identity verification through KYC helps us confirm your age, confirm that withdrawals go to the right person, and identify if an account may be used by someone vulnerable. It's a standard protective measure that benefits everyone.

Required before first withdrawal

What Responsible Gaming Means on legitlink


Responsible gaming isn't just a legal requirement for legitlink — it's genuinely part of how we think about what we're building. We're an online gaming platform for the Philippines, and that means our members are real people in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the country who are placing bets on PBA games, spinning slots, or sitting in on a live casino table for the evening.

For most players, that's exactly what it is: evening entertainment, something to do while watching the game, a bit of extra excitement during a weekend match. That's fine. That's what online gaming is designed to be. The problem comes when it stops being that — when bets start affecting rent, when sessions go on through the night, when chasing losses becomes the pattern rather than the exception.

legitlink takes that risk seriously. The tools listed on this page aren't buried in a help section — they're accessible from your account dashboard. You don't need to contact support to set a deposit limit or activate a cool-off. You just go to your settings and do it.

Know Your Limits Before You Start

The most effective responsible gaming tool is one you set before you open the app, not after things have gone sideways. Before placing your first bet on a PBA match or loading up a slot game, decide two things: how much PHP you're willing to spend, and how long you're going to play. Then stick to those limits regardless of what happens.

A few practical habits that help:

  • Set a PHP deposit limit in your account that matches your real entertainment budget — not what you think you might win back.
  • Never chase a losing session. When you hit your loss limit, that's the end of the session. Period.
  • Don't play when you're tired, upset, or under financial stress. Those are states where judgment is compromised and decisions get worse.
  • Keep your betting and your daily finances completely separate. Use a dedicated amount you've already decided is your gaming budget for the week or month.
  • Take regular breaks. Even a fifteen-minute break during a long session resets your perspective.

Recognising When Gaming Becomes a Problem

Problem gambling can develop gradually. It doesn't usually announce itself — it shows up in smaller shifts that are easy to explain away at first. Being aware of the warning signs is important, because catching the pattern early makes it much easier to address.

Self-Check — Warning Signs to Watch For
01
Spending more than planned — You regularly deposit more PHP than you intended, or increase your stakes to try to recover losses.
02
Thinking about betting constantly — Gaming occupies a large part of your thoughts even when you're not playing — planning sessions, thinking about past results, looking forward to the next opportunity.
03
Borrowing money to gamble — Using money that was meant for bills, groceries, or family expenses — or borrowing from others — to fund your gaming activity.
04
Chasing losses — Placing larger or more frequent bets to try to win back what you've lost rather than accepting the result and stopping.
05
Hiding your gaming activity — Being secretive about how much time or money you spend, or feeling the need to justify or downplay it to people close to you.
06
Feeling anxious or irritable when not playing — Restlessness, frustration, or low mood when you're unable to access the platform or when you try to cut back.

If several of these apply to you, that's a signal worth taking seriously. It doesn't mean you've lost control permanently — but it does mean it's worth pausing, using the tools available in your account, and potentially talking to someone.

What to Do If You're Concerned

If you're worried about your own gaming habits, the most important step is to take action now rather than waiting. Here's what you can do immediately:

  • Log in to your legitlink account and activate a cool-off period or self-exclusion through your account settings. This takes effect immediately.
  • Lower your deposit limit to zero or the minimum available. This reduces what you can spend while you take stock of the situation.
  • Talk to someone you trust — a family member, a friend, or a professional. You don't have to deal with it alone.
  • Contact the legitlink support team at [email protected] if you need help activating any of the responsible gaming tools or want to discuss your account.

Minor Protection — Strictly 21 and Above

legitlink strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years for all account holders. This is verified through our KYC process, which requires a valid government-issued Philippine ID during verification. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately closed and any funds held in the account will be returned to the verified payment source.

If you share a device with family members — including younger siblings or children — we strongly recommend keeping your legitlink account protected with a unique password and enabling OTP login. Never share your account credentials, and consider logging out of the platform after each session.

If you suspect that a minor has gained access to an online gaming account — whether on legitlink or another platform — contact that platform's support team immediately. On legitlink, reach us at [email protected].

Need Immediate Help?

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, you don't have to wait. Reaching out is the right thing to do — and the sooner, the better.

Contact the legitlink support team at [email protected] at any time to activate self-exclusion, close your account, or get guidance on next steps. Our team is available 24/7 for registered members.

Additionally, speaking with a trusted person in your life — whether that's a family member, a friend, or a community leader — is one of the most effective steps you can take when gaming feels out of control.

All gaming activity carries financial risk. No outcome is guaranteed. legitlink is for players aged 21 and above in the Philippines only. Self-exclusion tools are always available and always immediate.

Responsible Gaming FAQ


Log in to your account and go to the Responsible Gaming or Account Settings section. You can set daily, weekly, or monthly PHP deposit caps. Any reduction in your limit takes effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period before they take effect.

A cool-off period is a temporary break — ranging from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — during which your account is suspended. Once the period ends, your account access is automatically restored. Self-exclusion is a longer, binding suspension with a minimum duration of 6 months. During self-exclusion, all promotional communications are stopped and the exclusion cannot be lifted early.

No — once a self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed until the full period you selected has elapsed. This is intentional. The binding nature of self-exclusion is what makes it effective as a protective tool. If you need to discuss your situation, contact [email protected], but be aware that the exclusion period itself cannot be shortened.

You must be at least 21 years of age to register and play on legitlink. Age is verified during the KYC process using a valid Philippine government-issued ID. Any account found to be registered by someone under 21 will be immediately closed and any deposited funds returned to the source payment method.

The first step is to use the tools in your account — activate a cool-off or self-exclusion right now, and lower your deposit limit to zero if possible. Then speak to someone you trust: a family member, a close friend, or a professional. Contact legitlink support at [email protected] to get immediate help activating any of these controls. Taking action early is always better than waiting.

Yes. legitlink monitors account activity for patterns that may indicate problem gambling — including rapid deposit sequences, large stake increases, extended sessions, and chasing loss behaviour. If we identify such patterns, we may reach out proactively to check in with the account holder and, in some cases, apply precautionary restrictions. This is done with the player's wellbeing in mind.
