At ric9, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or personal harm. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep gaming a safe and enjoyable pastime. Whether you're playing slots in Makati, bingo in Cebu, or live casino games in Davao, ric9 has your back.
Responsible gaming is not just a policy for us — it's a core value. We work closely with PAGCOR guidelines and industry best practices to ensure that every player on the ric9 platform has access to meaningful safeguards and support resources.
Strictly for Adults 21 Years and Above
In the Philippines, casino-style online gambling is legally restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. ric9 strictly enforces this age requirement. All new accounts undergo age verification during the KYC process. If we discover that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately closed and all funds returned.
ric9 provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools that you can activate directly from your account settings. These tools are designed to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your ric9 account to control how much you fund your gaming wallet. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period — decreasing it is instant.
Set a maximum session duration so ric9 will automatically log you out after a specified period of play. You'll also receive on-screen reminders as you approach your session limit, helping you stay aware of how long you've been playing.
Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any bets on ric9. This is a great option if you feel you need a temporary pause from gaming.
For players who need a longer break, ric9 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will be removed from all marketing communications. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion.
Set a maximum loss amount per day, week, or month. Once you reach your loss limit, ric9 will prevent you from placing further bets until the limit period resets. This tool helps you protect your bankroll and avoid chasing losses.
Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered during your current session. These gentle reminders help you stay grounded and make informed decisions about continuing to play.
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It's important to recognize the warning signs early. Ask yourself honestly: do any of the following apply to you?
Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling?
Have you tried to win back money you've lost by gambling more (chasing losses)?
Do you hide your gambling activity from family members or close friends?
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or finances?
Do you borrow money or sell belongings to fund your gambling?
Do you feel a strong urge to gamble when you are stressed, bored, or upset?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use ric9's responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.
Responsible gaming starts with good habits. Here are some practical tips that ric9 recommends for every Filipino player:
Set a budget before you play. Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending and stick to it. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose — treat it as entertainment, not income.
Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen regularly. Gaming for extended periods without breaks can impair your judgment and lead to impulsive decisions.
Never chase your losses. Losing is a normal part of gaming. Trying to win back losses by betting more is one of the most common paths to problem gambling. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment.
Don't gamble when emotional. Avoid playing when you are stressed, anxious, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states can cloud your judgment and lead to poor decisions.
Keep gaming in perspective. Gaming at ric9 is meant to be a fun leisure activity — not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Keep it in balance with your other hobbies and responsibilities.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel they need to take a serious break from gambling. At ric9, we make self-exclusion straightforward and effective. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed.
Your ric9 account will be fully suspended for six months. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. All pending bonuses will be forfeited. You will be removed from all promotional communications for the duration.
A full twelve-month suspension of your ric9 account. Ideal for players who need a longer period of reflection and recovery. The exclusion period begins immediately upon activation and cannot be shortened.
Choose permanent exclusion to close your ric9 account indefinitely. This option is irreversible. If you believe you have a serious gambling problem, permanent self-exclusion is the most protective option available.
To activate self-exclusion, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Our team will process your request immediately and confirm activation within one hour.

ric9 takes the protection of minors extremely seriously. Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino gaming is strictly prohibited for anyone under the age of 21. We employ multiple layers of age verification to prevent underage access to our platform.
If you share a device or computer with younger family members, we strongly recommend taking the following precautions to prevent minors from accessing ric9 or any other gambling platform:
Always log out of your ric9 account when you are done playing, especially on shared devices.
Never share your ric9 username, password, or account details with anyone, including family members.
Use parental control software on shared devices to block access to gambling websites for minors.
Do not leave your ric9 account open and unattended where minors could access it.
Age Verification Required
All ric9 players must verify their age during registration. Government-issued ID is required. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 will be permanently closed.
Gaming at ric9 is best enjoyed as entertainment. Set your limits, use our tools, and play within your means. When you're ready to play, ric9 is here — safely and responsibly. For Filipino players 21 and above only.
