Play Smart.
Stay in Control.

Oklaro believes that gaming should always be fun, never a burden. We've built a full suite of responsible gaming tools to help every Filipino player stay in control of their time and money on the platform.

21+ Age Restriction Strictly Enforced

Gaming the Right Way

At oklaro, responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. We know that for most players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the Philippines, online gaming is a form of entertainment, a way to unwind after a long day or add some excitement to the weekend. And that's exactly what it should stay: entertainment.

The reality is that for a small number of players, gaming can become more than just a pastime. It can start to affect finances, relationships, and mental health. Oklaro takes that seriously. That's why we've invested in tools, policies, and support systems that put player wellbeing first — not just when things go wrong, but as a built-in part of the oklaro experience from day one.

This page explains everything you need to know about responsible gaming at oklaro: the tools available to you, how to recognise warning signs, how to access help, and what oklaro does on its end to protect players. Whether you're a casual player or someone who plays regularly, this information is for you.

Remember: Gaming at oklaro is meant to be enjoyable. If it ever stops feeling that way, the tools on this page are here to help. You're never alone — our support team is available 24/7.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming

Before diving into the tools and resources, here are the principles oklaro encourages every player to keep in mind whenever they log in:

  • Set a budget before you play — decide how much you're comfortable spending and stick to it. Think of it like your entertainment budget for the week, similar to going out for dinner or watching a movie.
  • Never chase losses — if you've hit your limit for the session, log off. Chasing losses is one of the most common patterns that leads to problem gambling.
  • Time is money too — set a time limit for each session, not just a spending limit. It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the middle of a game.
  • Don't play under pressure — avoid gaming when you're stressed, upset, or trying to escape a problem. Gaming should add to your mood, not be a coping mechanism.
  • Keep it balanced — make sure gaming is just one part of your life, not the main one. Family, work, friends, and hobbies all matter more.
  • Never borrow to play — playing with borrowed money, whether from a friend, a credit card, or a loan, is a serious warning sign. Only ever play with funds you can afford to lose.

Built-In Player Protections

Oklaro's responsible gaming framework covers six key areas — all designed to keep your gaming experience healthy and enjoyable.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a break from gaming, oklaro's self-exclusion tool lets you suspend your account for a set period — from 30 days up to permanent closure. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your oklaro account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a cooling-off period.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so oklaro automatically logs you out after a defined period. You'll also receive on-screen reminders as you approach your limit, giving you a gentle nudge to take a break.

Cool-Off Periods

Not ready for full self-exclusion but need a short break? A cool-off period temporarily suspends your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. You can activate this instantly from your account settings without contacting support.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose in a given period. When your loss limit is reached, oklaro will prevent further wagering until the period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping gaming within your budget.

Activity Statements

Request a full activity statement from oklaro at any time. This shows your deposit history, withdrawal history, net gaming position, and time spent on the platform — giving you a clear, honest picture of your gaming activity.


How to Activate Your Responsible Gaming Tools

All responsible gaming tools on oklaro are accessible directly from your account dashboard. No need to call anyone or wait for approval — most tools activate instantly. Here's how to get started:

Is Your Gaming Still Fun?

Answer these questions honestly. If you find yourself saying "yes" to several of them, it may be time to use one of oklaro's responsible gaming tools or seek support.

1
Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned, even after telling yourself you'd stop?
2
Have you ever borrowed money — from family, friends, or a credit card — specifically to fund your gaming sessions?
3
Do you find yourself thinking about gaming frequently when you're not playing — at work, during meals, or before sleeping?
4
Have you tried to cut back or stop gaming but found it difficult or impossible to follow through?
5
Do you play to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other negative feelings rather than purely for entertainment?
6
Have people close to you — family members, a partner, or friends — expressed concern about how much time or money you spend on gaming?
7
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you're unable to play, or when you try to reduce how much you play?
8
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity or the amount you've spent from people in your life?

If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use oklaro's self-exclusion or cool-off tools, and to reach out to our support team. You can also contact the oklaro responsible gaming team directly at [email protected] — all enquiries are handled with complete confidentiality.


Strict 21+ Age Requirement

21+

No Exceptions. No Workarounds.

In accordance with Philippine gaming regulations, oklaro strictly enforces a minimum age of 21 years old for all players. This is not just a policy — it is a legal requirement. Oklaro conducts mandatory age and identity verification for every account before any real-money gaming activity is permitted.

When you register at oklaro, you are required to submit valid government-issued identification to confirm your age and identity. Accepted documents include a Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, driver's license, or PhilSys national ID. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a person aged 21 or older will be suspended and any deposited funds returned.

Oklaro also uses automated systems to flag accounts that show behavioural patterns inconsistent with adult players. If our systems flag an account for age-related concerns, it will be placed under review and suspended pending verification.

Parents and guardians: If you share a device with minors, please ensure your oklaro account is protected with a strong, unique password that is not accessible to children. If you suspect a minor has accessed your account, contact oklaro support immediately.

Oklaro supports the responsible gaming framework promoted by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), which oversees gaming regulation in the Philippines. PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines emphasise player protection, age verification, and the availability of self-exclusion mechanisms — all of which are core features of the oklaro platform.


Taking a Break Has Never Been Easier

Oklaro's self-exclusion tool is one of the most important features we offer. Here's everything you need to know about how it works.

Option 1
30-Day Break

A one-month cooling-off period. Your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or wager. Ideal for players who want a short reset.

Option 2
90-Day Break

A three-month suspension for players who need a longer period away from the platform to reassess their gaming habits.

Option 3
6-Month Break

A six-month exclusion period. During this time, oklaro will also suppress any marketing communications to your registered contact details.

Option 4
Permanent Closure

Permanently close your oklaro account. This action is irreversible. Any remaining balance will be returned to your verified withdrawal method.

Important: Self-exclusion at oklaro is immediate and cannot be reversed during the chosen period. If you select a 30-day exclusion, you will not be able to reinstate your account before those 30 days have elapsed, regardless of the reason. This is intentional — it's designed to protect you.

When your self-exclusion period ends, oklaro will not automatically reactivate your account. You will need to contact support and complete a brief responsible gaming check before your account is reinstated. This gives you one final moment to confirm that you're ready to return to gaming in a healthy, controlled way.
