Responsible Gaming at 790pub

790pub believes that gaming should be fun, safe, and within your control. This page explains your rights as a player, the tools available to manage your gaming activity, and where to get help if gambling ever stops being enjoyable.

790pub is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. PAGCOR-Licensed Platform.
21+

Minimum Age Requirement: 21 Years Old

Under PAGCOR regulations, the minimum legal age for participation in online casino and sports betting activities in the Philippines is 21 years old. 790pub enforces this requirement through mandatory age verification (KYC) before any withdrawal is processed. Accounts found to belong to persons under 21 years of age are permanently closed, all balances are forfeited, and the matter is referred to PAGCOR as required by our licensing obligations. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Playing Responsibly at 790pub

For the overwhelming majority of players, online gaming at 790pub is exactly what it is meant to be: a form of entertainment. You load up a few slots during your lunch break in Makati, you bet on the PBA game with your barkada, you join a bingo room on a Friday night in Cebu — and then you log off and go about your life. That is the experience 790pub is designed to deliver.

But we also know that for a small percentage of players, gambling can become a problem. It can start subtly — betting a little more than planned, chasing a loss that stings more than it should, finding that the thought of stopping creates real anxiety. Problem gambling is a recognized condition. It does not reflect a character flaw or a lack of willpower. It is a behavioral issue that responds well to the right tools and support, and 790pub takes its role in providing those tools seriously.

790pub's responsible gaming commitment goes beyond regulatory compliance. Yes, we are required by PAGCOR to implement deposit limits, self-exclusion options, and reality check alerts. We do all of that. But we also train our customer support team to recognize signs of problem gambling during player interactions, we monitor gameplay patterns for unusual behavior that may indicate a player is in distress, and we proactively reach out to players whose behavior changes in ways that suggest they may need support.

If you are reading this page because you are concerned about your own gambling — or about someone close to you — please read through the tools and resources below. Everything listed here is available to 790pub players at no cost. None of it requires any justification or proof. You can set a deposit limit or request a self-exclusion right now, and it will take effect within the timeframes described below. You do not need to explain yourself to anyone.

Need to Stop Playing Now?

If you feel you need to stop gambling immediately, you can request a self-exclusion through 790pub's live chat or by sending an email to [email protected] with the subject "Self-Exclusion Request." Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours. Your account will be locked and all marketing communications will be stopped.

24/7 Support Contact
790pub's responsible gaming team is available 24 hours a day via live chat from your account dashboard. For urgent situations, email [email protected] with the subject "Responsible Gaming — Urgent." Response time for urgent requests is under 30 minutes.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming
PAGCOR operates a responsible gaming program for all PAGCOR-licensed platforms. Players who need independent support or wish to escalate a concern may contact PAGCOR directly. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, 790pub is subject to all PAGCOR responsible gaming standards and enforcement.
Responsible Gaming Tools

All tools are free, available immediately, and accessible from your account settings after 790pub login.

Deposit Limits
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, per week, or per month. Once your limit is reached, deposits are blocked for the remainder of that period. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately. Increasing your limit takes effect after a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period. Deposit limits are the single most effective tool for keeping gambling within a budget you are comfortable with.
Loss Limits
Set a maximum net loss amount over any defined period. When your net losses for the period reach the limit you have set, further bet placement is suspended until the period resets. Loss limits are especially useful if you tend to chase losses — the limit enforces a stop before chasing behavior can escalate into a bigger problem.
Reality Checks
Configure session time alerts that notify you of how long you have been playing. Reality checks appear on-screen at the interval you choose — every 30 minutes, every hour, or at any other interval. When a reality check appears, you can choose to continue playing, take a break, or log out. Studies show that time awareness significantly reduces over-session play.
Cool-Off Periods
Take a temporary break from 790pub for a defined period — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cool-off period, your account is locked and you will receive no promotional communications from 790pub. Cool-off periods are ideal for players who want to step back briefly without committing to a full self-exclusion. You can request a cool-off at any time via Account Settings or live chat.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently exclude yourself from 790pub for a minimum period of six (6) months. During self-exclusion, your account is locked, all marketing is stopped, and you cannot create a new account on the platform. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the minimum period. After the minimum period, reinstatement requires a written request and a mandatory 7-day reflection period. Self-exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of request.
Marketing Opt-Out
You may withdraw consent for all marketing communications at any time. Once opted out, you will receive no promotional SMS, email, or in-platform bonus offers from 790pub. You will still receive account-essential communications (security alerts, transaction confirmations, KYC requests). Marketing opt-out is available from Account Settings and takes effect immediately.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Gambling becomes a problem when it interferes with your finances, relationships, work, or mental health. These are the signs to watch for — in yourself or in someone you know.

Spending more money on gambling than you planned, or more than you can afford to lose
Borrowing money — from family, friends, or informal lenders — to fund gambling
Chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money you have lost
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to stop or reduce gambling
Lying to family members or hiding how much you gamble or how much you have lost
Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling
Gambling to escape stress, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties
Thinking about gambling constantly — when at work, with family, or trying to sleep

If you recognize three or more of the above signs in your behavior over the past month, it is worth taking a break and speaking to someone. Please contact 790pub support or reach out to a mental health professional.

Quick Self-Assessment

That's great. Remember: responsible gaming tools like deposit limits are still useful even when you feel in control. Setting a limit now means it is there as a safety net if things ever change.
Tips for Healthy Play

Responsible gaming is not about playing less — it is about playing with clarity and control.

Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the app — not after you have started playing. Treat it like buying a movie ticket or going to a restaurant. Once the budget is spent, the session ends. Using 790pub's deposit limit feature removes the willpower element from this completely.
Set a Time Limit
Decide how long you plan to play before you start. Use 790pub's reality check feature to get a notification when that time is up. Long sessions — especially late at night — are when healthy play most easily turns into impulsive play.
Never Play When Emotional
Gambling when you are stressed, sad, lonely, or angry is one of the most common pathways into problem gambling. If you find yourself opening 790pub as a way to cope with a difficult feeling — that is the moment to close the app and do something else instead.
Treat Winnings as a Bonus, Not Income
The house edge means that over time, the average player's net result is negative. This is normal — it is the cost of entertainment, like any other leisure activity. Players who treat gambling as a potential income source are the ones most at risk of problem gambling. Wins are a pleasant surprise, not a financial plan.

Play Smart. Play Safe. Play at 790pub.
