🔞

21+ Only - Strictly Enforced

rtps2 services are exclusively for adults aged 21 years and older. This is not just a policy—it's the law in the Philippines. We use advanced age verification systems to ensure compliance.

All new accounts undergo mandatory identity verification. Anyone found to be underage will have their account immediately closed and funds forfeited. Parents and guardians should use internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites.

Understanding Responsible Gaming

Responsible gaming means approaching online casino and sports betting as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. For most people, gaming is an enjoyable recreational activity that can be enjoyed safely when approached with the right mindset and boundaries.

However, for some individuals, gaming can become problematic. Problem gambling affects not just the individual but also their families, relationships, work performance, and overall quality of life. At rtps2, we take problem gambling seriously and provide comprehensive tools and resources to help you stay in control.

What is Problem Gambling?

Problem gambling, also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling, is characterized by an inability to control gambling behavior despite negative consequences. Warning signs include:

  • Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford or intended
  • Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win back money you've lost
  • Lying to family or friends about your gambling activities
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
  • Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut back on gambling
  • Using gambling as a way to escape problems or relieve negative emotions
  • Continuing to gamble despite financial, relationship, or legal problems caused by gambling

If you recognize these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to seek help immediately. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and support is available.

rtps2 Responsible Gaming Tools

We provide a comprehensive suite of tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activities. All tools can be activated through your account settings or by contacting our customer support team 24/7.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much money you can deposit into your rtps2 account. Once set, limits cannot be increased immediately—any increase request requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Control your losses by setting maximum loss amounts per day, week, or month. When you reach your loss limit, you won't be able to place additional bets until the period resets.

Session Time Limits

Set maximum session durations to prevent extended gaming periods. You'll receive reminders when approaching your time limit, and be logged out automatically when time expires.

Take a Break

Need a short break? Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During this time, you won't be able to log in or receive marketing communications.

Self-Exclusion

For more serious concerns, self-exclude from rtps2 for a minimum of 6 months up to permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.

Reality Checks

Receive periodic pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and your current wins/losses. These help you stay aware of time and money spent.

How to Set Limits and Use Tools

Activating responsible gaming tools is simple and can be done in several ways:

Through Your Account Settings

  1. Log in to your rtps2 account
  2. Navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming
  3. Select the tool you want to activate (deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, etc.)
  4. Enter your desired limit amounts or time periods
  5. Confirm your settings—they take effect immediately

Contact Customer Support

Our 24/7 customer support team can help you set limits or activate self-exclusion. Reach us via:

  • Live Chat: Available directly on the rtps2 website
  • Email: [email protected] (mark as "Responsible Gaming" for priority handling)
Limit Cooling-Off Periods

For your protection, any request to increase or remove limits requires a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect. Decreasing limits or setting new restrictions takes effect immediately. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.

Self-Exclusion: When You Need a Complete Break

Self-exclusion is the most comprehensive responsible gaming tool available. It completely blocks your access to rtps2 services for a period you choose, ranging from a minimum of 6 months to permanent closure.

What Happens During Self-Exclusion?

  • Your account is immediately suspended—you cannot log in or place bets
  • All marketing communications are stopped
  • You cannot open new accounts during the exclusion period
  • Any remaining account balance is returned to you via your registered payment method
  • Pending withdrawals are processed normally
  • The self-exclusion period cannot be shortened or reversed once activated

After Self-Exclusion Ends

When your self-exclusion period expires, your account does not automatically reopen. You must contact customer support to request reactivation. Before reactivation, we conduct a brief check-in to ensure you feel ready to return and understand responsible gaming tools.

Important: Self-exclusion with rtps2 only applies to our platform. If you need broader protection, consider registering with PAGCOR's national self-exclusion database, which covers multiple operators in the Philippines. We can provide guidance on how to access this service.

Tips for Safe and Responsible Gaming

Incorporating these best practices into your gaming routine helps ensure gaming remains an enjoyable form of entertainment:

Financial Guidelines

  • Set a Budget: Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money needed for rent, bills, food, or other essentials.
  • Never Chase Losses: Trying to win back lost money by gambling more is a common path to problem gambling. Accept losses as the cost of entertainment.
  • Don't Borrow to Gamble: Never borrow money, use credit cards, or take loans to fund gambling activities.
  • Keep Gambling and Alcohol Separate: Alcohol impairs judgment. Avoid gambling when drinking.

Time Management

  • Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you'll play and stick to it.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Step away from gaming periodically to maintain perspective.
  • Balance Your Life: Ensure gaming doesn't interfere with work, family time, social activities, or other hobbies.

Mental Approach

  • Gamble for Fun, Not Profit: View gambling as entertainment with a cost, not as income or investment.
  • Don't Gamble When Upset: Avoid gambling when stressed, depressed, anxious, or emotional. Gaming should not be used to escape problems.
  • Understand the Odds: The house always has an edge. Over time, you're statistically more likely to lose than win.
  • Know When to Stop: Whether winning or losing, stick to your predetermined limits and know when to walk away.
