Gaming should always be fun — not a source of stress or financial hardship. maxim88 is committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, resources, and support needed to keep gambling safe and enjoyable.
Our Commitment
At maxim88, we believe that responsible gaming is not just a regulatory requirement — it's a core part of who we are as a platform trusted by over 500,000 Filipino players. Whether you're betting on sabong in Manila, playing bingo in Cebu, or spinning slots in Davao, we want your experience to remain positive and within your personal limits.
We work closely with PAGCOR guidelines to ensure that every maxim88 player has access to responsible gaming tools, clear information about the risks of gambling, and easy pathways to seek help if needed. Our Filipino-speaking support team is available 24/7 to assist any player who needs guidance.

If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself, please reach out to our support team or use the self-exclusion tools below.
Player Protection
maxim88 provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools to help Filipino players stay in control of their gambling activity at all times.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your maxim88 account to control how much you spend. Limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a 7-day cooling-off period.
Enable session time alerts so maxim88 notifies you when you've been playing for a set period. Taking regular breaks is one of the most effective ways to keep gambling fun and in perspective.
Take a short break from maxim88 by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets on the platform.
If you feel you need a longer break, maxim88 offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.
Set a maximum loss limit per day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, maxim88 will automatically prevent further betting until the limit period resets, protecting your bankroll.
Enable reality check notifications that display a summary of your session — time played, amount wagered, and net result — at regular intervals so you always know exactly where you stand.
Strictly enforced. No exceptions. All players must be at least 21 years old.
Age Restriction
In the Philippines, casino-style gambling is legally restricted to individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, in accordance with PAGCOR regulations. maxim88 strictly enforces this age requirement across all games and betting markets on the platform — including slots, live casino, sabong, bingo, and sports betting.
During the registration process, all new maxim88 players are required to submit a valid government-issued ID for age and identity verification. Accounts where the player is found to be under 21 will be immediately suspended and any funds returned. We do not make exceptions to this policy.
If you suspect that a minor is attempting to access maxim88, please report it immediately to our support team at [email protected]. Protecting young Filipinos from the harms of underage gambling is a responsibility we take very seriously.
Take Control
maxim88 makes it easy to pause or stop your gambling activity at any time. Here's how each tool works and how to activate it on your account.
Need a quick breather? Activate a 24-hour account pause directly from your maxim88 account settings. Takes effect instantly.
Step back for a full week. Your account will be locked for 7 days, giving you space to reassess your gaming habits without pressure.
A full month away from maxim88. Ideal if you feel your gambling is becoming more frequent than you'd like. Cannot be reversed early.
Choose to permanently close your maxim88 account. This action is irreversible. Your account will be closed and you will not be able to re-register.
Self-Assessment
Honest self-reflection is one of the most powerful tools in responsible gaming. maxim88 encourages all Filipino players to regularly ask themselves the following questions. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we strongly recommend reaching out for support.
Have you ever gambled with money meant for rent, bills, or food?
Do you feel the urge to bet more after a losing session to win it back?
Has gambling caused arguments with your family or asawa?
Do you think about gambling even when you're at work or with friends?
Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?
Do you feel anxious, guilty, or depressed after a gambling session?
Healthy Habits
The vast majority of maxim88 players enjoy gambling as a fun pastime. Here are some practical tips to keep it that way:
Decide how much you can afford to lose before you start. Treat it like entertainment money — once it's gone, stop playing.
Use maxim88's session time reminders to keep track of how long you've been playing. Take a break every hour at minimum.
Gambling is entertainment, not a source of income. Never rely on winnings to pay for essential expenses like bills or groceries.
Avoid playing when you're stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Poor emotional states lead to poor decisions at the table.
If gambling is affecting your relationships or finances, talk to a family member, friend, or professional counsellor. You don't have to face it alone.
