Our Commitment

Gaming Is Entertainment — Keep It That Way

At Sugal99, we believe that online gaming is one of the most exciting forms of entertainment available to Filipino players today. Whether you're spinning the reels, joining a live dealer table, or trying your luck at Dragon Fishing, the experience should always leave you feeling good — win or lose.

But we also know that for a small number of players, gaming can become more than just entertainment. Problem gambling is a real issue, and Sugal99 takes its responsibility to protect players very seriously. That's why we've built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that puts your wellbeing at the centre of everything we do.

Our responsible gaming program is designed in line with best practices and applicable Philippine regulatory standards. We work closely with our compliance team to ensure that every player on Sugal99 has access to the tools and information they need to make informed decisions about their gaming activity.

Important: Gambling involves financial risk. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. If gaming stops being fun, please use our self-exclusion tools or contact our support team immediately.

Responsible Gaming Principles

Gaming is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems.
Always set a budget before you play and stick to it — never chase losses.
Take regular breaks. Gaming sessions should have a clear start and end time.
Never play under the influence of alcohol, stress, or emotional distress.
Keep gaming separate from your work, family, and social responsibilities.
Only players aged 21 years and above are permitted to register and play on Sugal99.
If you feel you are losing control, reach out to our support team or use our self-exclusion tool immediately.

Player Protection Tools

Tools to Keep You in Control

Sugal99 provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools — all free, all available instantly from your account settings. Here's what we offer every registered player.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your Sugal99 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; increasing it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gaming, you can self-exclude your Sugal99 account for a period of your choosing — from 30 days up to permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in or deposit.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that Sugal99 automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when your chosen time is up. This helps you stay aware of how long you've been playing and prevents extended unplanned gaming sessions.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session. These reality checks help you stay grounded and make conscious decisions about continuing to play.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold for a given period. Once you've reached your loss limit, Sugal99 will prevent further wagering until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to protect their bankroll and avoid chasing losses.

24/7 Support

Our dedicated support team is available around the clock to assist with any responsible gaming concerns. Whether you need help setting limits, want to discuss self-exclusion, or just need someone to talk to, we're here for you — day or night, including weekends and Philippine public holidays.

21+ONLY

Sugal99 strictly enforces the 21-year minimum age requirement for all players in the Philippines.

Age Verification

Strictly 21 and Above

Under Philippine law, the minimum legal age for participating in casino-style gaming is 21 years old. Sugal99 enforces this requirement strictly and without exception. Every player who registers on our platform is required to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before they can deposit or play.

During KYC verification, you will be asked to submit a valid government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, PhilSys national ID, SSS ID, or driver's licence — along with a selfie for facial verification. We verify your date of birth against your submitted documents to confirm you meet the 21+ age requirement.

Any account found to belong to a player under the age of 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be returned, and the account will be permanently closed. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and have zero tolerance for any attempt to circumvent our age verification process.

Parents & Guardians: If you believe a minor in your household has accessed or registered on Sugal99, please contact our support team immediately at support@sugal99.net. We will investigate and act promptly.

Self-Exclusion

How to Self-Exclude on Sugal99

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel they need a break. Here's how it works on Sugal99 — step by step.

01
Log In to Your Account

Access your Sugal99 account using your registered email and password. Navigate to the Account Settings section from your profile menu.

02
Find Responsible Gaming

Inside Account Settings, locate the "Responsible Gaming" tab. This is where all your player protection tools — including self-exclusion — are managed.

03
Choose Your Exclusion Period

Select your preferred self-exclusion duration: 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. All options are available at no cost.

04
Confirm & Activate

Confirm your selection. Your account will be suspended immediately. You will receive a confirmation email and will not be able to log in or deposit during the exclusion period.

Need help? If you are unable to access your account to self-exclude, or if you need immediate assistance, please contact our support team directly at support@sugal99.net. Our team can apply a self-exclusion to your account on your behalf, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

PAGCOR Resources: The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) maintains a responsible gaming program for Filipino players. We encourage players who need additional support to seek information through PAGCOR's responsible gaming initiatives and available local counselling services.

Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, and many players don't realise there's an issue until it has already had a significant impact on their finances, relationships, or mental health.

At Sugal99, we want every Filipino player to be able to recognise the early warning signs of problem gambling — in themselves or in someone they care about. The sooner the issue is identified, the easier it is to address.

Ask yourself honestly: do any of the following statements apply to you?

Warning Signs to Watch For

You spend more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford.
You chase losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've lost.
Gaming is affecting your work, studies, or family responsibilities.
You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play.
You have borrowed money or sold possessions to fund your gaming.
You hide your gaming activity from family members or close friends.
You have tried to stop or cut back on gaming but found it difficult to do so.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Got questions about our responsible gaming tools or policies? Here are the answers to the most common ones we hear from Filipino players.

Log in to your Sugal99 account and go to Account Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming tab. From there, you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Reductions take effect immediately. If you want to increase your limit, a 24-hour waiting period applies to give you time to reconsider.

Self-exclusion periods are binding and cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to give you a genuine break from gaming. For temporary exclusions (30 days, 90 days, etc.), your account can be reactivated after the period ends upon your request. Permanent exclusions are irreversible.

Any remaining balance in your Sugal99 account at the time of self-exclusion will be held securely. You can request a withdrawal of your balance by contacting our support team at support@sugal99.net. We will process your withdrawal in accordance with our standard withdrawal procedures.

No. When you self-exclude, Sugal99 will immediately remove you from all marketing communications, including promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications. We take this seriously — receiving gambling promotions during a self-exclusion period would be counterproductive and harmful.

All players must complete a KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process before they can deposit or play. This requires submitting a valid government-issued Philippine ID and a selfie for facial verification. Our verification team checks your date of birth against your submitted documents. Any account found to belong to a player under 21 is immediately closed.

Yes. Sugal99 offers a cooling-off period as a lighter alternative to full self-exclusion. A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to deposit and play for a short period — typically 24 hours to 7 days — giving you space to reflect without committing to a longer exclusion. Contact our support team to activate a cooling-off period on your account.
