Gaming Is Entertainment, Not a Way to Earn

At 8day, we genuinely care about the people who play on our platform. Whether you enjoy watching PBA games and placing a bet on the side, spinning through our slot titles, or joining a live casino table after work, the experience should always feel light and enjoyable — not stressful or compulsive.

Problem gambling is a real concern, and we do not take it lightly. That is why 8day has built a set of tools and guidelines specifically designed to keep gaming in its proper place: as a leisure activity, not a financial strategy. No game on our platform guarantees a win, and no betting system or strategy changes the underlying odds. If you find yourself thinking otherwise, this page is worth reading carefully.

You must be 21 years of age or older to register and play on 8day. If you are a parent or guardian, please take steps to ensure that minors in your household cannot access your account. Never share your login credentials or OTP with anyone.


Built-In Features to Help You Stay in Control

8day provides several practical tools that give you control over how you play. These are available through your account and can be adjusted at any time.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit in Philippine Peso. Once your limit is reached, top-ups are paused until the period resets — keeping your spending within a budget you decide.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session alerts that notify you when you have been playing for a set amount of time. Small reminders go a long way toward keeping you aware of how long you have been on the platform.

Cool-Off Period

If you feel like you need a short break, a cool-off option lets you temporarily pause your account for a defined period. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need more significant support, self-exclusion closes your account for an extended period. Contact our support team to activate this option — it cannot be reversed mid-period.

Reality Checks

Periodic on-screen prompts show your session duration and net balance change during your current session — so you always have an honest picture of your gaming activity, right when you need it.

Account Access Controls

OTP-based login, session management, and the option to lock your account from a specific device help ensure that only you can access your 8day account — protecting both your data and your funds.


Practical Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

Responsible gaming is mostly about habits. Small, consistent choices make a big difference over time. Here are some simple guidelines that players across Manila, Cebu, Quezon City, and Davao have found genuinely useful.

Set a Budget Before You PlayDecide how much you are comfortable spending before you open the app. Treat it like a night out — once the budget is done, so is the session.
Play for Fun, Not to Recover LossesChasing losses is one of the clearest signs that gaming has shifted from entertainment to a problem. If you lose your budget, step away.
Use a TimerBefore starting a session, set a timer on your phone. When it rings, take a genuine break — stretch, drink water, or do something completely unrelated.
Keep Gaming Social and LightBetting on a PBA game with friends is different from playing alone at 2am out of habit. Notice the context in which you are playing.
Never Borrow Money to GambleIf you are considering borrowing — from friends, family, or credit — to fund gaming sessions, that is a clear signal to stop and seek support.
Talk to Someone You TrustIf gaming is causing stress in your relationships or finances, talking to a trusted friend or family member is often the first helpful step.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always look dramatic. It often develops gradually, and many people do not recognise it in themselves until it has already affected their finances, relationships, or mental health. The signs below are worth being honest about.

Spending More Than Planned

You consistently go over your intended budget, telling yourself "just one more bet" after each loss.

Chasing Losses

You keep playing specifically to win back money you have already lost, rather than for enjoyment.

Neglecting Responsibilities

Gaming is getting in the way of work, school, family time, or paying important bills on time.

Hiding Your Gaming

You feel the need to conceal how much time or money you spend gaming from people close to you.

Irritability When Not Playing

You feel restless, anxious, or irritable when you are unable to access the platform or place a bet.

Borrowing to Fund Gaming

You have borrowed money — or considered it — specifically to continue gaming when your own funds ran out.

If you recognise several of these patterns in yourself, please use our self-exclusion tool or contact our support team. Taking a break is not a sign of weakness — it is the responsible thing to do.


A Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself answering "yes" to more than two or three of them, it may be time to take a step back and reassess your gaming habits.

Ask Yourself

1

Do you spend more time or money gaming than you originally intended when you sit down to play?

2

Have you ever missed work, school, or an important commitment because of gaming?

3

Do you feel the need to keep increasing your bets to get the same feeling of excitement?

4

Have you tried to cut back on gaming but found it difficult or impossible to follow through?

5

Do you find yourself gaming to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other difficult feelings?

6

Has gaming caused tension, arguments, or concern among people close to you?

7

Have you ever lied about how much you spend or how often you play online games?


Responsible Gaming FAQ

Deposit limits can be configured through your account settings. Once set, the limit applies immediately and cannot be increased until the current period ends — this gives you a genuine cooling-off window rather than an easy override. If you need help locating this setting, contact our support team through the platform.

Self-exclusion closes your account for the duration you select. During this period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets. Any promotional communications will also stop. The exclusion cannot be reversed before the period expires, so it is a genuine commitment to taking a break. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly.

Every login on 8day requires OTP verification sent to your registered mobile number, which adds a strong layer of protection beyond just a password. That said, you should never share your password or OTP with anyone, and you should log out of the platform when using a shared device. Accounts found to be used by minors will be closed immediately.

Yes — the cool-off period option lets you pause your account for a shorter defined window without permanent closure. This is useful if you feel you are playing too frequently but are not ready for a full self-exclusion. During the cool-off, you cannot log in or deposit, and the period cannot be shortened once activated.

Your data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information. Data may be shared with service providers who directly support platform operations, and with authorities when required by law. Your gaming activity is also monitored internally for responsible gaming purposes — for example, to identify patterns that may indicate a developing problem.
