At starph.com, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. We're committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable.
Gaming at starph.com is meant to be entertainment — a fun way to enjoy Slots, Bingo, Hi-Lo, Super Keno, and live casino games from the comfort of your home in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere in the Philippines. But we also know that for some players, gambling can become more than just a pastime.
That's why responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox for us — it's a core part of how starph.com operates. We've built a full suite of player protection tools directly into the platform, and our support team is available 24/7 to assist any player who needs help managing their gaming activity.
starph.com operates in alignment with the guidelines set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), which includes strict age verification, responsible gaming disclosures, and player protection standards. We take these obligations seriously — not just because we're required to, but because we genuinely care about the players who choose to game with us.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to keep your spending within a budget you're comfortable with.
Define the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period. Once reached, further play is paused automatically.
Receive on-screen alerts when you've been playing for a set amount of time, so you can take a break when needed.
Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from starph.com at any time. No questions asked — your wellbeing comes first.
All of these tools are available directly from your starph.com account settings — free of charge, no waiting period, and effective immediately.
Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your starph.com account. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and require a 7-day cooling-off period when increased — giving you time to reconsider.
Set a maximum net loss threshold per day, week, or month. When your losses reach the limit you've set, your account will be temporarily restricted from further wagering until the period resets.
Set a maximum session duration. When your session reaches the time you've defined, you'll receive a notification and be prompted to take a break. You can also set a hard cut-off that logs you out automatically.
Take a short break from gaming without fully closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place wagers on starph.com.
Request a temporary self-exclusion (3 to 12 months) or a permanent self-exclusion from starph.com. Once a permanent self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed. Contact our support team to initiate this process.
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session — helping you stay aware of your gaming activity in real time.
Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino-style gaming is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. starph.com enforces this requirement rigorously through our registration and KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process.
When you register on starph.com, you are required to confirm your date of birth and agree that you are at least 21 years old. We reserve the right to request a government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, SSS card, UMID, driver's licence, or PhilSys national ID — to verify your age at any point.
Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be immediately suspended, all funds will be frozen pending investigation, and the matter may be referred to the appropriate authorities. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed starph.com, please contact our support team immediately.

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. Knowing the warning signs is the first step toward getting help.
Spending beyond your means, borrowing money, or neglecting bills and essential expenses to fund gambling sessions.
Hiding gambling activity from family or friends, arguments about money, or withdrawing from social activities to spend more time gaming.
Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling; using gambling as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or difficult emotions.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to recover money already lost, often leading to larger losses and a cycle that's hard to break.
Spending far more time gambling than intended, losing track of hours, or neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities.
Hiding gambling activity, minimising how much you play or spend, or feeling defensive when others express concern about your gaming habits.
Enjoy the thrill of Slots, Bingo, Hi-Lo, and more — knowing that starph.com has your back with industry-leading player protection tools and a team that genuinely cares about your wellbeing.
