ctract Responsible Gaming – Keeping Every Filipino Player in Control

Gaming on ctract is meant to be fun and entertaining. This page outlines the tools, limits, and support resources available to help every Filipino player stay in control of their gaming activity at all times.

Gaming Is Entertainment – Not a Way to Earn

At ctract, we believe that gaming should always be a source of enjoyment, not stress or financial pressure. We are committed to providing Filipino players with a safe, transparent, and fair environment where entertainment comes first. Problem gambling can affect anyone, and recognising the early signs is the first step toward staying in control.

If you ever feel that gaming is no longer fun, that you are spending more than you can afford, or that you are chasing losses, please reach out to our support team at [email protected] or use the self-management tools available in your account. You can also visit our FAQ page for quick guidance on how to activate limits or request a break from the platform.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your ctract account. Once a limit is in place, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 24 hours, giving you a genuine cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Enable session time alerts so you receive a notification after a set period of play. Staying aware of how long you have been gaming is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits.

Take a Break

Need a short pause? You can temporarily suspend your account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any activity on the platform.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for a minimum period of six months. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team directly at [email protected] and we will process your request promptly.

When Gaming Stops Being Fun – Warning Signs to Watch For

Recognising problem gambling earlyis one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Chasing Losses

Feeling the urge to keep playing in order to win back money you have already lost is one of the clearest warning signs of problem gambling. Losses are a normal part of gaming and should never be treated as debts that need to be recovered through further play. If you notice this pattern in yourself, it is time to step back and use one of the account management tools available on ctract.

Spending Beyond Your Budget

Gaming should only ever be funded from money set aside for entertainment — never from savings, borrowed funds, or money needed for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills. If you find yourself regularly spending more than you planned, or hiding your gaming activity from family members, these are serious signals that your gaming habits may need attention. Setting a deposit limit on your account is a practical first step.

Gaming Affecting Daily Life

When gaming begins to interfere with work, studies, relationships, or sleep, it has moved beyond healthy entertainment. Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play are also signs worth taking seriously. If gaming is affecting your quality of life or the wellbeing of people around you, please reach out to our support team or consider activating a self-exclusion period to give yourself space to recover.

If you or someone you know needs professional support for problem gambling, the following organisations provide free, confidential assistance to Filipinos.

National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH provides mental health services across the Philippines, including support for behavioural issues related to gambling.

You can set a deposit limit by logging into your account and navigating to the responsible gaming section of your account settings.
