Tools to Keep You in Control

Practical features built into your c9taya account to support healthy play habits

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. This helps you stay within a budget you are comfortable with and prevents impulsive top-ups during a losing streak. Limits can be lowered at any time and take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a cooling-off period to ensure the decision is considered carefully.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session reminders so you receive a notification after a set amount of time spent playing. It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying slot games or bingo, and these alerts help you pause and reassess. You can set reminders for 30 minutes, one hour, or any custom interval that suits your routine. Taking regular breaks is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming a leisure activity rather than a compulsion. Your wellbeing always comes first at c9taya.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, our self-exclusion tool allows you to suspend your account for a chosen period — from 30 days up to a permanent closure. During self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or receive any promotional communications from us. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to protect your wellbeing. You can request self-exclusion by contacting our support team at [email protected]. We encourage you to use this tool without hesitation if you feel it is needed.

Activity History

Your account dashboard gives you a clear view of your gaming activity, including deposits, withdrawals, game sessions, and win/loss records over any selected period. Reviewing your history regularly is a healthy habit that keeps you aware of how much time and money you are spending. Transparency is a core part of how we operate, and we want every Filipino player to have full visibility of their own account. If you notice patterns that concern you, our support team is available to help you explore your options. Knowledge is the first step toward staying in control.

Age Verification

c9taya strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years in compliance with Philippine gaming regulations. All new accounts are subject to identity verification before any real-money play or withdrawals are permitted. We use government-issued ID checks to confirm that every player on our platform is of legal age. If we suspect that a minor is attempting to access the platform, the account will be suspended immediately pending investigation. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a responsibility we take very seriously.

Support Access

Our player support team is available around the clock to assist with any responsible gaming concerns, account queries, or requests for self-exclusion. You can reach us at [email protected] and expect a prompt, non-judgmental response. We are trained to handle sensitive conversations with care and to connect you with professional help if needed. No concern is too small — if something feels off about your gaming habits, please reach out. We are here to help you enjoy gaming safely and sustainably.

Recognising Problem Gambling

Gaming is meant to be an enjoyable pastime, but for some players it can become a problem. Recognising the warning signs early is the most important step toward getting help. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following, it may be time to seek support.

  • Chasing Losses Continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling. This behaviour often leads to larger losses and increased distress.
  • Spending Beyond Your Means Using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or other essentials to fund gaming sessions is a serious warning sign that requires immediate attention and support.
  • Neglecting Responsibilities Missing work, neglecting family obligations, or withdrawing from social activities because of gaming are signs that play has moved beyond healthy recreation and into harmful territory.
  • Feeling Anxious or Irritable Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when not playing, or feeling a compulsive urge to return to gaming despite wanting to stop, are emotional indicators that professional support may be beneficial.

Where to Get Help in the Philippines

If you believe you or someone close to you may have a gambling problem, please do not hesitate to seek professional assistance. The following organisations provide confidential support to Filipinos dealing with gambling-related concerns.

National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH provides mental health services across the Philippines, including counselling and support for behavioural addictions such as problem gambling. Their crisis hotline is available to anyone in need of immediate assistance. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness, and their team is trained to help without judgement. You can contact the NCMH Crisis Hotline at 1553 (toll-free within the Philippines). Early intervention leads to better outcomes, so please do not wait.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other in order to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling disorder. Meetings are held regularly across Metro Manila and other major cities in the Philippines. The programme is free, confidential, and open to anyone who has a desire to stop gambling. Peer support from people who truly understand your experience can be a powerful part of recovery. You are not alone in this journey.

We will never pressure you to continue playing and will always prioritise your wellbeing over platform activity. Contact us at [email protected] and we will respond as quickly as possible. All responsible gaming conversations are handled with complete confidentiality. Your health and safety matter more to us than anything else.
