Our Commitment

Gaming Is Entertainment,
Not a Financial Strategy

KM888 is an online gaming platform built for Filipino players aged 21 and above who enjoy games, live casino, sports betting, and esports markets as a leisure activity. From the moment you register on km888.org, our responsible gaming framework runs in the background — monitoring patterns, offering timely reminders, and making it simple for you to take control whenever you feel the need.

We recognise that for a small number of players, gaming can stop being fun and start becoming a problem. Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or experience level. KM888 takes this responsibility seriously and has built a set of tools and policies specifically designed for the Philippine context.

Every peso you spend on KM888 should be money you can genuinely afford to lose. Online gaming carries inherent financial risk. KM888 will never encourage you to chase losses, increase your stakes when you are on a losing run, or continue playing when you have reached your own personal limits.

Our support team is available through live chat on km888.org, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you ever feel that gaming is affecting your daily life, your relationships, or your finances, please reach out to us — we are here to help, not to judge.

Important reminder: Online gaming involves real money and real financial risk. Only play with funds you can comfortably afford to lose. KM888 does not guarantee winnings or profits from any game or betting market.

Core Principles

01

Player First

The wellbeing of every Filipino player on km888.org comes before commercial considerations. Responsible gaming measures are never hidden or difficult to access.

02

Age Verification

KM888 requires full identity and age verification for all players. No account is fully activated without confirmation that the player is at least 21 years of age.

03

Transparent Odds

Return-to-player percentages and betting odds are displayed clearly within each game interface so players can make informed decisions before wagering.

04

No Pressure Marketing

KM888 never sends promotional communications to players who have set deposit limits, activated cool-off periods, or self-excluded. Marketing emails include a clear opt-out on every message.

Player Tools

Responsible Gaming Tools

All of these tools are available to every KM888 account holder at no cost. Access them through your account settings or by contacting our support team via live chat.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit per day, week, or month in Philippine Peso. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling period before it becomes active.

Loss Limits

Cap the total amount you can lose within a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, KM888 will automatically suspend betting and gaming activity for the remainder of the period — protecting your bankroll without requiring you to act in the moment.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. KM888 will display a reminder when your session approaches the limit and will log you out automatically when the limit is reached, encouraging healthy breaks between play sessions.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, you cannot log in or place bets. The period cannot be shortened once it has been activated.

Self-Exclusion

Request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. KM888 processes all self-exclusion requests within 24 hours. During this period, your account is closed and you cannot re-register.

Reality Checks

Enable on-screen reminders at intervals of your choice — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each reminder displays how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session.

Warning Signs

Recognise the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Many Filipino players who experience gambling-related harm do not immediately recognise the warning signs in themselves. The following behaviours may indicate that gaming has become a problem rather than a pastime.

If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, we strongly encourage you to use the KM888 self-exclusion tool or reach out to our support team for guidance.

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. KM888's support team will treat every conversation with full confidentiality and without judgement.

01

Chasing losses — Continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost, often leading to larger losses.

02

Spending beyond your means — Wagering money that was set aside for rent, groceries, GCash load, bills, or other essential expenses.

03

Preoccupation with gaming — Spending a significant amount of time thinking about past gaming sessions or planning the next one, even during work or family time.

04

Increasing stakes over time — Needing to bet larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction as before.

05

Borrowing money to gamble — Taking loans, using credit, or borrowing from friends and family to fund gaming activity.

06

Hiding gaming activity — Concealing the amount of time or money spent on gaming from family members, partners, or close friends.

07

Failed attempts to stop — Repeatedly trying to cut down or quit gaming but finding it difficult or impossible to do so.

08

Gaming to escape problems — Using gaming as a primary way to cope with stress, loneliness, anxiety, depression, or other personal difficulties.

Self-Assessment

Quick Self-Check

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more, we recommend activating a cool-off period or speaking with our support team. There are no right or wrong answers — this tool is for your benefit only.

01

Self-Exclusion Details

Understanding Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive tool available to KM888 players who feel they need a complete break from gaming. Once activated, your account is suspended and you will be unable to log in, deposit, or place any bets for the duration you selected.

KM888 processes self-exclusion requests within 24 hours of submission. During this processing window, we recommend that you stop placing bets voluntarily. Any funds remaining in your account balance at the time of exclusion will be returned to your registered GCash or Maya wallet, or your nominated Philippine bank account, within the standard withdrawal processing timeframe.

You may choose from the following self-exclusion durations:

  • 6 months — recommended for players who want a defined medium-term break.
  • 1 year — suitable for players experiencing significant gaming-related stress.
  • 3 years — for players who need an extended period away from online gaming.
  • Permanent — for players who wish to close their account indefinitely. This decision is irreversible.

During any self-exclusion period, KM888 will not send you any promotional emails, SMS, or push notifications. If you attempt to create a new account during a self-exclusion period, KM888 will identify and close the duplicate account.

Once a self-exclusion is active, it cannot be reversed or shortened before the agreed period ends. This is by design — to give you the protection you asked for, even in moments of temptation.

Age Protection

Protecting Young People in the Philippines

KM888 strictly prohibits the use of its platform by any person under the age of 21. This is a firm, non-negotiable policy. Every new player must complete age and identity verification — using a valid Philippine government-issued ID such as a PhilSys card, passport, driver's licence, or PRC card — before their account is activated.

If you share a device, computer, or mobile phone with younger family members, we strongly recommend enabling device-level parental controls to prevent access to gaming websites. Many Android and iOS devices include built-in family controls that can block specific apps and website categories.

If KM888 has reason to believe that a player is under the age of 21, the account will be immediately suspended pending verification. Any funds deposited by an underage player will be returned to the originating payment method — via GCash, Maya, or Philippine bank transfer — and the account will be permanently closed.

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Log in to your km888.org account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. Select "Deposit Limits", choose whether you want a daily, weekly, or monthly limit, enter the amount in Philippine Peso (₱), and confirm. The limit takes effect immediately. To reduce a limit, the change is instant. To increase a limit, there is a mandatory 24-hour waiting period before the new higher limit becomes active.

No. Once a self-exclusion has been activated and confirmed, it cannot be reversed or shortened before the agreed period ends. This policy exists to protect you in moments when the urge to return to gaming may be strong. After your exclusion period expires, you may contact our support team to discuss the account reactivation process, which includes an additional identity and wellbeing check.

Any funds in your KM888 account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your registered withdrawal method — GCash, Maya, or your nominated Philippine bank account. The refund is processed within the standard withdrawal timeframe. Pending bonus funds that have not yet met wagering requirements will not be returned as those are subject to our Terms and Conditions.

Yes. KM888's minimum age policy is fixed at 21 years old. This applies to all Filipino players regardless of region. Age verification using a valid Philippine government-issued ID is mandatory during the registration process. Players who cannot verify their age will not be able to deposit, play, or withdraw funds.

No. Once a cool-off period or self-exclusion is active, KM888 will immediately remove you from all marketing lists. You will not receive promotional emails, SMS messages, push notifications, or any other marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion. You may still receive account-related transactional messages such as withdrawal confirmations or security alerts.

KM888 encourages players who need additional support to speak with qualified mental health professionals and community support organisations in the Philippines. You can also contact the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) crisis hotline at 1553 (available 24/7), or reach out to community-based counselling services in your local area. Our own support team is available at all times through live chat on km888.org and can help connect you with appropriate resources.

Play Smart. Stay in Control.

KM888 is designed to be a fun, fair, and safe gaming environment for Filipino players aged 21 and above. Use our tools, know your limits, and enjoy the experience responsibly.
