Responsible Gaming
at BigBuny

Gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress or financial hardship. BigBuny is committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep their gaming experience safe, enjoyable, and in control.

21+
Age Restriction

The BigBuny platform is strictly for players aged 21 years and older. This is a legal requirement under Philippine gaming regulations.

Our Commitment to You

At BigBuny, responsible gaming is not just a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that every player in the Philippines deserves a safe and transparent gaming environment. Whether you are playing Pearls of Bingo from Quezon City, spinning the reels in Cebu, or enjoying a live table game from Davao, BigBuny is here to make sure your experience stays positive and within your personal limits.

Problem gambling is a real concern, and BigBuny takes it seriously. We have built a range of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform so that you can set boundaries, take breaks, and seek help whenever you need it — without judgment, and without hassle. Our support team is available 24/7 to assist any player who feels their gaming may be getting out of hand.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your BigBuny account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a mandatory cooling-off period — keeping your spending firmly in check.

Session Time Reminders

BigBuny lets you set session time reminders so you always know how long you have been playing. When your chosen time is up, you will receive a clear notification — a gentle nudge to take a break, grab a snack, or step away for a while.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, BigBuny's self-exclusion tool lets you temporarily or permanently suspend your account. Self-exclusion periods range from 30 days to permanent closure — and once activated, cannot be reversed until the period ends.

Reality Checks

BigBuny's reality check feature displays a summary of your current session — including time played and net balance — at regular intervals you choose. Staying aware of your gaming activity is one of the most effective ways to keep it responsible.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold for any given day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is reached, BigBuny will automatically pause your gaming session for that period — protecting your bankroll and preventing emotionally driven decisions after a losing streak.

24/7 Support Access

Our dedicated support team is available around the clock via live chat in the BigBuny app. If you are ever feeling overwhelmed or just need someone to talk to about your gaming habits, our team is trained to listen and point you toward the right resources.


Is Your Gaming Still Fun?

Honest self-reflection is the first step toward responsible gaming. Ask yourself the questions below. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use BigBuny's responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.

1

Do you find yourself spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, even after telling yourself you would stop?

2

Have you ever borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or used funds meant for bills or family expenses to fund your gaming?

3

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop playing — or when you are unable to access the platform?

4

Have you tried to win back money you have lost by continuing to play, often resulting in even greater losses?

5

Has gaming started to affect your relationships, work performance, or daily responsibilities — such as missing family time or neglecting your job?

6

Do you hide your gaming activity from family members or close friends because you are worried about their reaction?

7

Do you find that you need to bet larger and larger amounts to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction from gaming?

8

Have you ever felt depressed, hopeless, or considered harming yourself as a result of your gaming losses or gambling-related stress?

If you answered yes to question 8 or are in crisis: Please reach out to the National Center for Mental Health Crisis Hotline at 1553 (available 24/7 in the Philippines). Your wellbeing comes first — always.

How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools

Setting up your responsible gaming preferences on BigBuny takes less than two minutes. Here is how to get started:

1
Log In to Your Account

Open the BigBuny app or visit bigbuny.net and log in using your registered email and password. Make sure you are on the official BigBuny platform.

2
Go to Account Settings

Tap your profile icon in the top corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" section in the left-hand menu.

3
Choose Your Limits

Select the tool you want to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, session reminder, or reality check. Enter your preferred values and confirm your selection.

4
Confirm and Save

Your settings take effect immediately. Limit reductions are applied right away; limit increases require a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before they become active.

5
Request Self-Exclusion if Needed

If you need a longer break, contact BigBuny support via live chat to request a self-exclusion period. Our team will process your request promptly and with full confidentiality.

Understanding Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools available at BigBuny. When you self-exclude, your account is suspended and you will be unable to log in, deposit, or place bets for the duration of the exclusion period you choose.

BigBuny offers the following self-exclusion options:

  • 30-Day Break — A short cooling-off period for players who feel they need a temporary pause.
  • 90-Day Break — A medium-term exclusion for players who want a more extended rest from gaming.
  • 6-Month Exclusion — A longer break for players who feel their gaming has become a concern.
  • 1-Year Exclusion — A serious commitment to stepping away from gaming for a full year.
  • Permanent Closure — For players who wish to close their BigBuny account permanently. This action is irreversible.
Important: Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed or shortened before the chosen period expires. Any remaining balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your registered GCash or bank account within 5–7 business days.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provides responsible gaming resources and support for Filipino players. BigBuny supports PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and encourages players who need additional help to seek assistance through official Philippine channels.


Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

Responsible gaming is about making smart choices before, during, and after every session. Here are some practical tips that BigBuny recommends to every player — from first-timers in Manila to seasoned players in Makati.

Set a Budget First

Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you start playing — and treat it like entertainment money, not an investment. Never chase losses with money you cannot afford to lose.

Time Your Sessions

Set a timer before you start playing. When it goes off, take a genuine break — step away from the screen, drink some water, and check in with yourself before deciding whether to continue.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

Think of gaming as entertainment — like watching a movie or going out for merienda. Winnings are a bonus, not a guaranteed income. Keeping this mindset makes every session more enjoyable.

Talk to Someone

If gaming is causing stress at home or affecting your relationships, talk to a trusted family member or friend. You do not have to deal with it alone — and BigBuny's support team is always available too.

Never Play Under Pressure

Avoid gaming when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states can cloud judgment and lead to decisions you might regret. Play only when you are calm and clear-headed.

Use GCash Wisely

If you use GCash or PayMaya to fund your BigBuny account, consider setting a separate gaming wallet with a fixed monthly top-up. This creates a natural spending boundary without needing to think about it each time.

Take Regular Breaks

Schedule gaming-free days into your week. Having days where you do not play at all helps maintain a healthy balance and ensures that gaming remains a leisure activity rather than a daily habit.

Protect Your Account

Never share your BigBuny login credentials with anyone — including family members. Each account is personal and tied to a verified identity. Shared accounts can lead to uncontrolled spending and security risks.


Protecting Minors — Strictly 21+

No Players Under 21 Years Old

Under Philippine law and BigBuny's Terms and Conditions, the platform is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. BigBuny conducts mandatory age verification during registration and prior to processing any withdrawal. Any account found to belong to an underage player will be immediately closed and all deposits returned.

BigBuny takes its obligations regarding the protection of minors extremely seriously. We use a combination of document-based identity verification and third-party KYC checks to confirm the age of every player before they can deposit or play for real money. If you suspect that a minor is using the BigBuny platform — including using a parent's or guardian's account — please contact our support team immediately.

For parents and guardians: We strongly recommend using parental control software to restrict access to online gaming platforms on shared devices. Tools such as device-level content filters and app restrictions can help prevent minors from accessing BigBuny or similar platforms without your knowledge.

Reminder: The 21+ age restriction applies to all BigBuny games, including Pearls of Bingo, MT Live, Monster Mine, Star Fishing, European Roulette Pro, and all other titles available on the platform. There are no exceptions.
