OUR COMMITMENT

Gaming Should Always Be Fun

At hey33, we believe that online gaming is a form of entertainment — just like watching a PBA game or catching a boxing match on fight night. It's meant to be exciting, social, and enjoyable. But we also know that for some players, gaming can become more than just a pastime, and that's something we take very seriously.

hey33 is built for Filipino players who want a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment. That means we don't just talk about responsible gaming — we've embedded real, working tools directly into your account so you can set your own limits, take breaks, and stay in full control of your experience at all times.

Whether you're playing Teen Patti Joker on a Friday night in Makati, spinning slots from Cebu, or joining a live bingo session from Davao — hey33's responsible gaming framework is always working in the background to keep your experience healthy and sustainable.

hey33 operates in accordance with PAGCOR guidelines on responsible gaming. We encourage all players to familiarize themselves with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and resources.

Gaming Is Entertainment,
Not a Financial Strategy

Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Set a budget before you play, stick to it, and treat any winnings as a bonus — not an expectation. hey33 is here for the thrill of the game, not to replace your income.

Remember: Chasing losses is one of the most common signs of problem gambling. If you find yourself trying to win back money you've lost, it's time to take a break and use our self-exclusion tools.

BUILT-IN PLAYER TOOLS

Your Control Panel for Safe Play

Every hey33 account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools — free to use, instant to activate, and always available in your account settings.

Instant
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine Peso (₱). Once your limit is reached, hey33 will automatically block further deposits until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Smart
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing in a given period. When your net losses hit that threshold, hey33 will pause your gaming session and prompt you to review your activity before continuing — giving you a moment to breathe and decide.

Timer
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration — from 30 minutes to several hours. When your time is up, hey33 will display a clear notification and log you out automatically. It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the zone; this tool keeps you grounded.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session. These gentle nudges help you stay aware of your activity without interrupting the flow of the game unnecessarily.

Take a Break
Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your balance is safely held and accessible once the period ends.

Permanent
Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, hey33 offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account is fully locked and cannot be reopened during the exclusion period — even if you request it. Your wellbeing comes first.

SELF-EXCLUSION DETAILS

About Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available on hey33. It is designed for players who feel they need a significant break from gambling. Here's what you need to know:

Duration Options

Choose from 6 months, 1 year, or permanent self-exclusion. All options are available at no cost and can be activated instantly from your account settings or by contacting our support team.

What Happens During Exclusion

Your account is fully suspended. You cannot log in, deposit, withdraw, or place bets. Any pending bonuses are forfeited. Your account balance is securely held and will be returned to you upon verified request after the exclusion period ends.

Marketing Opt-Out

When you self-exclude, hey33 will immediately remove you from all promotional email lists, SMS campaigns, and push notification lists. You will not receive any gaming-related marketing during your exclusion period.

Returning After Exclusion

After a fixed-term exclusion ends, you must actively request account reactivation — your account does not reopen automatically. A 24-hour reflection period is applied before reactivation is processed. Permanent exclusion cannot be reversed.

PAGCOR Exclusion Registry: hey33 supports and cooperates with PAGCOR's responsible gaming exclusion programs. Players who self-exclude through PAGCOR's official channels will also be blocked from hey33 in accordance with regulatory requirements.

KNOW THE SIGNS

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. Recognizing the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. Ask yourself honestly: do any of these apply to you?

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've lost
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gaming
  • Neglecting work, school, family, or personal responsibilities because of gaming
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gaming
  • Borrowing money — from friends, family, or through loans — to fund gaming activity
  • Using gaming as a way to escape stress, depression, anxiety, or personal problems
  • Thinking about gaming constantly, even when you're not playing
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming despite wanting to
If you recognize three or more of these signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion and reach out to a professional support service. There is no shame in asking for help — it takes real strength.

STAY IN CONTROL

Tips for Healthy Gaming

These simple habits can make a big difference in keeping your hey33 experience positive and sustainable over the long term.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on a fixed amount in Philippine Peso that you're comfortable spending before you open any game. Treat it like a night-out budget — once it's gone, the session is over.

Use a Timer

Set a phone alarm or use hey33's built-in session timer before you start playing. When the alarm goes off, log out — no exceptions. Short, planned sessions are always healthier than marathon runs.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen every hour. Grab a snack, stretch, or chat with someone. Breaks help you stay mentally sharp and prevent the kind of fatigue that leads to poor decisions.

Never Play When Emotional

Avoid gaming when you're stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgment and can lead to impulsive bets you'll regret later.

Wins Are a Bonus, Not a Goal

Approach every session with the mindset that you're paying for entertainment. If you win, great — but never count on it. The house always has an edge, and that's just the nature of the game.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If gaming is starting to feel like a problem, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or professional. Opening up is often the hardest step — but it's also the most important one.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Got questions about how hey33's responsible gaming tools work? Here are the answers to the most common ones. For anything else, our 24/7 support team is always available via live chat.

Log in to your hey33 account, go to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gaming tab. From there, choose "Deposit Limits" and enter your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap in Philippine Peso. The limit activates immediately. To lower your limit, the change is instant. To raise it, a 24-hour waiting period applies to give you time to reconsider.

Fixed-term self-exclusions (6 months or 1 year) cannot be cancelled or shortened during the active period — this is intentional and for your protection. Once the period ends, you must actively request reactivation, and a 24-hour reflection period is applied before your account is reopened. Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible.

Your account balance is securely held by hey33 during the exclusion period. You can request a withdrawal of your remaining balance by contacting our support team via email. Withdrawals during self-exclusion are processed to your verified GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank account after identity verification.

Yes. hey33 operates in accordance with PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines and cooperates with PAGCOR's exclusion registry. Players who are registered on PAGCOR's exclusion list are blocked from accessing hey33. We take our regulatory obligations seriously and continuously review our responsible gaming framework to meet or exceed PAGCOR standards.

hey33 is strictly for players aged 21 years and above, in compliance with Philippine gaming regulations. All new accounts are subject to KYC (Know Your Customer) age verification using a valid Philippine government-issued ID such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, UMID, or SSS ID. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds returned.

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, please reach out to professional support services in the Philippines. PAGCOR operates responsible gaming programs and can direct you to appropriate counseling resources. The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) also provides mental health support services. hey33's support team can also help you activate self-exclusion tools immediately — just reach out via live chat 24/7.
