Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Bingo Plas, we believe that gaming is meant to entertain — not to cause harm. Whether you are here for Sabong, Tongits, Bingo, Slots, Live Casino, or sports betting on volleyball and basketball, we want every kabayan to enjoy the experience safely, responsibly, and within their means.
Responsible gaming is not just a policy for us — it is a promise. We are licensed by PAGCOR and follow the regulations set by Philippine gaming authorities, which means we have a legal and moral duty to protect our players. This page explains the tools we offer, the warning signs to watch for, and the resources available if you or someone you know needs help.
Gaming at Bingo Plas should never cost you more than you can afford to lose, never interfere with your responsibilities at home or work, and never become a source of stress or shame. If it ever does, it is time to pause and reassess — and we are here to help you do that.
Recognizing the Warning Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. The earlier you recognize the signs, the easier it is to get back on track. Here are some behaviours that may indicate a problem:
- You spend more time or money on gaming than you originally planned.
- You borrow money, use credit, or dip into savings meant for bills just to keep playing.
- You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gaming.
- You hide your gaming activity from family members or friends.
- You chase losses — betting more to try and win back what you have lost.
- Gaming starts to interfere with work, school, relationships, or other responsibilities.
- You neglect personal health, sleep, or hygiene because of gaming.
- You have tried to cut back or stop multiple times but keep returning.
If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it is important to act now. The resources and tools on this page are here to help.
Not Sure If You Have a Problem?
Take our self-assessment quiz below. It only takes a few minutes, and your answers are private — we do not store or share them.
Self-Assessment: Are You Gaming Responsibly?
Answer "yes" or "no" to each question honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, consider reaching out for support.
If you said "yes" to three or more of these, please consider using the self-exclusion tools below or contacting a support service. You are not alone, kabayan.
Responsible Gaming Tools at Bingo Plas
Bingo Plas offers a range of in-platform controls to help you manage your play. These tools are easy to activate from your account settings, and they remain in effect until you choose to adjust them (subject to cooling-off periods for certain limits).
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your Bingo Plas account over a chosen time period. You can choose daily, weekly, or monthly limits. Once set, the system will block any deposit that exceeds your limit until the period resets. This is one of the most effective ways to keep your spending under control.
Session Time Limits
Decide how long you want to play in a single session. When your chosen time is up, Bingo Plas will log you out automatically. This helps you avoid losing track of time while playing Sabong, Slots, or Live Casino games.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable periodic pop-ups that show you how long you have been playing and your current balance. Reality checks are gentle reminders that give you a moment to pause, reflect, and decide whether to keep playing or take a break.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer break, you can self-exclude from Bingo Plas for a period you choose — 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or permanently. During this time, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or play any games on bingoplas.net. Self-exclusion is immediate and cannot be reversed until the period you selected has ended.
Cooling-Off Period
Need a short break but not ready for full self-exclusion? Use the cooling-off option to suspend your account for 24 to 72 hours. This gives you time to step back, clear your head, and return only when you feel ready.
To activate any of these tools, log in to your account, go to Settings > Responsible Gaming, and follow the prompts. If you need help configuring these limits, contact our support team at support@bingoplas.net — we are here to assist, not judge.

Tips for Staying in Control
Responsible gaming is not just about using tools — it is also about building healthy habits. Here are some practical tips every Bingo Plas player should follow:
- Set a budget before you start: Decide how much you can afford to spend, and do not exceed it. Treat that amount as the cost of entertainment, not an investment.
- Do not chase losses: If you lose, accept it and move on. Trying to win back losses usually leads to bigger losses.
- Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen every 30 to 60 minutes. Stretch, grab water, or chat with family.
- Never gamble when emotional: Avoid playing when you are stressed, angry, sad, or under the influence of alcohol.
- Keep gaming fun: If it stops being enjoyable and starts feeling like a chore or a compulsion, it is time to pause.
- Balance your life: Make sure gaming is just one of many activities you enjoy. Spend time with loved ones, pursue hobbies, stay active.
- Do not borrow to play: Never use money meant for rent, bills, or daily expenses. Gaming should come from disposable income only.
- Talk about it: If you are worried about your gaming, talk to someone you trust. Opening up is the first step to getting help.

Advice for Family and Friends
If you are worried about a loved one's gaming behaviour, here is how you can help:
- Talk openly and without judgment: Choose a calm moment and express your concern in a caring way. Avoid accusations or blame.
- Educate yourself: Learn about problem gambling so you understand what they are going through.
- Encourage them to seek help: Offer to help them find a counsellor or attend a support group meeting together.
- Set boundaries: Do not lend money or cover their losses. Enabling the behaviour only makes it worse.
- Take care of yourself: Supporting someone with a gambling problem can be emotionally draining. Seek support for yourself if needed.
Problem gambling affects not just the player but everyone around them. Remember, recovery is possible — and you are not alone in this.
