Play Smart. Stay in Control.
Gaming is meant to be fun, and at 790pub we want to keep it that way for every Filipino player on our platform. This page explains the tools we provide to help you stay in control, the warning signs worth knowing, and how to reach support if you or someone you know needs it. Taking a few minutes to read this could make a real difference.
Section 1
790pub provides a set of practical tools that put you in the driver's seat. You can access these features directly from your account settings at any time, without needing to contact support first. Here is what is available to every registered member in the Philippines.
You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your account to make sure you never put in more than you planned. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be raised without a mandatory cooling-off period. This gives you a hard boundary that protects your budget even on impulse. Lowering your limit, on the other hand, takes effect right away. We recommend setting a limit when you first register so it becomes a natural part of how you play.
It is easy to lose track of time when you are in the middle of a good session. Our session reminder feature lets you set an alert that notifies you after a chosen amount of time — whether that is 30 minutes, one hour, or longer. The reminder appears on screen so you can decide whether to continue or step away. It is not a forced logout, just a friendly nudge to check in with yourself. Consistent use of this tool is one of the simplest ways to keep gaming in its proper place in your day.
If you feel like you need a short pause from the platform, the Take a Break option lets you temporarily suspend your account for a set period — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this time you will not be able to log in or place any bets. Your account, balance, and history are all preserved and waiting for you when the break ends. This is a great option if life gets busy, if you are feeling stressed, or if you simply want to reset. You can request a break through your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Self-exclusion is a more serious step for members who feel their gaming has become a problem. You can request to be excluded from the 790pub platform for a minimum period of six months, up to a permanent exclusion if needed. Once self-exclusion is active, your account is closed and you will not be able to re-register during the exclusion period. We take these requests seriously and process them promptly. If you are considering self-exclusion, please also reach out to a professional support organisation — contact details are listed further down this page.
Section 2
Problem gambling can develop gradually, and it is not always easy to spot in yourself. The following signs are worth reflecting on honestly. If several of these feel familiar, it may be time to use one of the tools above or speak to someone you trust.
You are spending more money on gaming than you originally intended, or chasing losses by depositing again after a losing session.
Gaming sessions are lasting much longer than planned, and you find it difficult to stop even when you intended to.
Family members, friends, or colleagues have expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to access the platform, or you use gaming to escape stress or difficult emotions.
You have borrowed money, used savings meant for bills or essentials, or hidden financial activity from people close to you in order to fund gaming.
You find yourself being secretive about your gaming activity, minimising how much you play or spend when talking to others.
No betting strategy guarantees a profit, and chasing losses almost always makes things worse. Every game on 790pub is designed for entertainment. If you are relying on winnings to cover living expenses or debts, please reach out for support — the organisations listed below can help, and all services are confidential.
Section 3
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, professional help is available in the Philippines. The following organisations offer free, confidential support. 790pub encourages any member who needs it to reach out — there is no shame in asking for help, and these services exist precisely for this reason.
The National Center for Mental Health in the Philippines operates a 24/7 crisis hotline for anyone experiencing mental health difficulties, including those related to compulsive gambling. Trained counsellors are available around the clock to listen and provide guidance. Calls are free and confidential. You can reach the NCMH hotline at 1553 from any Philippine landline or mobile number. This service is available in Filipino and English.
In Touch Community Services is a Philippines-based non-profit that provides counselling and mental health support, including for behavioural addictions such as problem gambling. Their team of licensed counsellors offers both in-person and online sessions. Services are available in English and Filipino, and sliding-scale fees are available for those who need financial assistance. Reaching out to a professional counsellor early can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes.
If you want to activate any of the responsible gaming tools on your account — deposit limits, session reminders, a break, or self-exclusion — you can do so through your account settings or by emailing our support team at [email protected]. We respond to all responsible gaming requests as a priority. Your request will be handled with full confidentiality and without judgement. We are here to help you keep gaming enjoyable and within your control.
