Gaming That Stays Enjoyable

paldo is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all Filipino players. We recognise that while most players engage with our platform purely for entertainment, some individuals may develop problematic gaming habits over time. Our responsible gaming framework is designed to give every player the tools and information they need to stay in control, set personal boundaries, and seek help if they ever feel that gaming is no longer fun. We take our duty of care seriously and work continuously to improve the safeguards available on our platform.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in PHP directly from your account dashboard. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period, giving you real control over your spending.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session time alerts so you receive a notification after a set period of play. Taking regular breaks is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming in perspective and prevent it from interfering with your daily routine and responsibilities.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gaming, you can request a self-exclusion period through your account dashboard or by contacting our support team. During this period, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in or place any bets on paldo.

Reality Checks

Our reality check feature displays a summary of your session activity — including time spent and net balance — at regular intervals you choose. Staying informed about your gaming activity is the first step towards making confident, responsible decisions every time you play.

When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Responsible gaming starts with self-awareness. It is important for every Filipino player to recognise the early warning signs that gaming may be becoming a problem. Gambling should always be treated as a form of entertainment — not as a way to earn money, escape stress, or recover previous losses. If you find yourself spending more than you can afford, chasing losses, or feeling anxious when you are not playing, these may be signs that it is time to take a step back and seek support.

Common warning signs to watch out for include: spending more time or money on gaming than you originally planned; borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gaming; neglecting work, family, or social obligations because of gaming; feeling irritable, restless, or preoccupied with gaming when you are not playing; and continuing to play despite repeated attempts to stop or cut back. If any of these signs feel familiar, please reach out to our support team or visit the FAQ page for guidance on the tools available to you.

Gaming is entertainment, not income

Never rely on gaming winnings as a source of income or to pay bills. Treat every peso you spend on gaming as the cost of entertainment, just like a cinema ticket or a meal out with friends.

Set a budget before you start

Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the app or log in. Stick to that amount regardless of whether you are winning or losing, and never chase losses by depositing more than you planned.

Take regular breaks

Step away from the screen regularly, even when you are on a winning streak. Fatigue and excitement can both impair your judgement, so scheduled breaks help you stay clear-headed and in control of your decisions.

Keep gaming in balance

Make sure gaming does not crowd out the other things that matter in your life — time with family, work commitments, physical health, and social connections. A balanced lifestyle is the best foundation for responsible play.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit in Philippine pesos (PHP) directly from your account dashboard under the Responsible Gaming settings. Once a limit is applied, it takes effect immediately. If you wish to increase your limit at a later date, a mandatory cooling-off period applies before the change takes effect — this is intentional and designed to protect you from impulsive decisions. Reducing your limit, however, takes effect right away. If you need help finding the setting, visit the FAQ page for step-by-step guidance.

Self-exclusion is a voluntary tool that allows you to suspend your paldo account for a set period — ranging from a short cooling-off break to a longer-term exclusion. During the exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, make deposits, or place bets on the platform. You can request self-exclusion through your account dashboard or by contacting our support team directly. We take all self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly. If you are struggling with your gaming habits, self-exclusion is a positive and courageous step, and our team is here to support you through the process.

No. paldo is strictly for adults aged 21 and above, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We require age verification during the registration process and reserve the right to request additional identity documents at any time. If we have reason to believe that an account is being used by or on behalf of a minor, we will suspend the account immediately and withhold any associated funds pending investigation. We strongly encourage parents and guardians to make use of parental control software to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms.

If you feel that gaming is negatively affecting your life or the lives of people around you, we encourage you to reach out for support as soon as possible. You can contact our support team through your account dashboard at any time — we are available 24/7 and can help you activate self-exclusion, set limits, or simply talk through your concerns. You may also wish to speak with a trusted friend, family member, or professional counsellor. Taking the first step to ask for help is a sign of strength, and paldo is committed to supporting every Filipino player who needs it.
