21+ Only. The qo123 platform is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. If you or someone you know may be experiencing gambling-related harm, please read this page in full and reach out to our support team immediately.

Age Verification

qo123 enforces strict age verification for all players. You must be at least 21 years old to register and play. We verify age during the KYC process and reserve the right to request government-issued ID at any time. Accounts found to belong to underage players are immediately closed.

Deposit & Loss Limits

Take control of your spending by setting daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your qo123 account settings. You can also set loss limits to cap how much you can lose in a given period. Limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gaming, qo123 offers self-exclusion options ranging from 30 days to permanent exclusion. Once activated, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in or receive promotional communications for the duration of the exclusion period.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so qo123 automatically logs you out after a set period of play. This helps you stay aware of how long you have been gaming and prevents extended unplanned sessions. Reality check notifications can also be enabled to remind you of your session length at regular intervals.

Cooling-Off Period

Not ready for full self-exclusion but need a short break? qo123 offers cooling-off periods of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account remains open but you cannot place wagers or make deposits. This gives you space to reflect without permanently closing your account.

Dedicated Support

Our responsible gaming support team is available daily from 8AM to midnight PST. Whether you need help setting limits, activating self-exclusion, or just want to talk through your concerns, our team is here to assist without judgment. All responsible gaming requests are treated with the highest priority and full confidentiality.


What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying online casino games — slots, bingo, live dealer tables, and more — as a form of entertainment while staying fully in control of your time and money. At qo123, we believe that every Filipino player deserves a gaming experience that is safe, transparent, and free from harm.

Gaming becomes a problem when it stops being fun and starts affecting your finances, relationships, work, or mental health. Problem gambling can happen to anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. The good news is that with the right tools and awareness, it is entirely preventable — and qo123 is here to help you stay on the right side of that line.

We encourage all qo123 players to treat gaming as leisure — the same way you would treat a night out in Makati or a weekend trip to Cebu. Set a budget, stick to it, and walk away when the fun stops. Never chase losses, and never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.

Remember: Gambling outcomes are determined by random number generators and are never predictable. There is no strategy, system, or pattern that guarantees a win. Every session should be approached with the expectation that you may lose your entire wager.

Signs of Problem Gambling

It can be difficult to recognize when recreational gaming has crossed into problematic territory — especially when you are in the middle of it. qo123 encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves and be honest about their gaming habits. Some common warning signs include:

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford
  • Borrowing money from family, friends, or lenders to fund gaming sessions
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have lost
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming
  • Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gaming
  • Using gaming as a way to escape stress, depression, anxiety, or personal problems
  • Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming despite wanting to
  • Feeling guilt or shame after a gaming session

If you recognize two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to take a step back and seek support. qo123's responsible gaming tools are available immediately from your account dashboard, and our support team is ready to assist you.

You are not alone. Problem gambling affects millions of people worldwide. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. qo123 is committed to supporting every player who needs it.

Quick Self-Assessment

Ask yourself the following questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, we strongly encourage you to use qo123's responsible gaming tools or speak with a professional counselor.

1

Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?

2

Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are doing other things?

3

Have you tried to stop or reduce your gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?

4

Have you ever lied to a family member, friend, or employer about your gambling habits?

5

Do you gamble to escape from problems, stress, loneliness, or negative emotions?

6

After losing, do you feel a strong urge to return and win back what you lost?

7

Has gambling ever caused serious problems in your relationships, work, or financial situation?

8

Do you feel anxious, irritable, or low when you are unable to gamble for a period of time?

This self-assessment is not a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling behavior, please contact our support team or reach out to a qualified mental health professional in your area.

Protecting Minors

qo123 has zero tolerance for underage gambling. Philippine law and our platform rules strictly prohibit anyone under the age of 21 from registering or playing on qo123. We take this responsibility seriously and have multiple safeguards in place to prevent minors from accessing our platform.

If you share a device with younger family members — whether in Manila, Davao, Cebu, or anywhere else in the Philippines — we strongly recommend the following precautions:

  • Never share your qo123 login credentials with anyone, including family members
  • Always log out of your qo123 account when you are done playing, especially on shared devices
  • Use device-level parental controls to restrict access to gaming websites for minors
  • Keep your account password private and change it regularly
  • Enable two-factor authentication on your qo123 account for an extra layer of security

If you suspect that a minor has accessed or registered on the qo123 platform, please report it to our support team immediately. We will investigate and take appropriate action, including permanent account closure and data deletion, without delay.

Age Verification: qo123 reserves the right to request government-issued identification from any player at any time. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a player aged 21 or above will be suspended pending verification and may be permanently closed.

Getting Help & External Support

If you feel that your gaming has become a problem, please do not wait — reach out for help today. qo123 supports the responsible gaming initiatives of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), which oversees gaming regulation in the Philippines and provides resources for players experiencing gambling-related difficulties.

PAGCOR's responsible gaming program includes player education, self-exclusion registries, and support referrals for problem gamblers across the Philippines. We encourage any qo123 player who is struggling to explore these resources alongside the tools available on our platform.

In addition to PAGCOR's programs, the following types of support are available to Filipino players:

  • Mental health professionals — Licensed counselors and psychologists in the Philippines who specialize in behavioral addictions, including problem gambling
  • Gamblers Anonymous Philippines — A peer support community for individuals affected by problem gambling, with meetings available in Metro Manila and other major cities
  • National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) — The NCMH provides mental health services and crisis support for Filipinos, including those dealing with addiction-related concerns
  • qo123 Responsible Gaming Support — Our dedicated team is available daily from 8AM to midnight PST to assist with any responsible gaming concern

Remember: seeking help is the right move, and it takes courage. qo123 will always support players who choose to prioritize their well-being over gaming.
