Our Commitment to Safe Play

km8 takes player wellbeing seriously. Here is what we stand for and what you can do to stay in control.

Budget Before You Play

Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable spending before you open any game on km8. Treat that amount as the cost of entertainment — not as an investment you expect to recover. Once your session budget is used up, close the app and step away. Never borrow money or use funds set aside for rent, food, or bills to fund your gaming. A clear budget is the single most effective habit for keeping gaming enjoyable long-term.

Manage Your Time

It is easy to lose track of time when you are engaged in a game, so set a timer before each session and honour it when it goes off. Taking regular breaks — even just five minutes every hour — helps you stay clear-headed and make better decisions. Avoid gaming late at night when fatigue can cloud your judgement and lead to impulsive bets. If you notice that gaming is cutting into time you normally spend with family, friends, or work, that is a signal to reassess your habits. Healthy gaming fits around your life, not the other way around.

Keep It Fun

Gaming on km8 is designed to be a form of entertainment, similar to watching a film or going out for dinner. If you find yourself feeling anxious, frustrated, or compelled to keep playing to recover losses, those are signs that the fun has faded. Chasing losses is one of the most common patterns that leads to problem gambling, and it rarely ends well. Step back, take a break, and return only when you feel relaxed and in control. Remember: every outcome on km8 is determined by chance, and no strategy guarantees a win.

Under 21? Not Allowed

km8 is strictly for players aged 21 and above, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We take age verification seriously during the registration process and reserve the right to request additional proof of age at any time. If you are a parent or guardian, please ensure that minors in your household cannot access your km8 account or any stored payment details. Never share your login credentials with anyone, especially young family members. Protecting minors from gambling is a responsibility we share with every adult player on the platform.

Take a Break Anytime

If you feel that gaming is becoming too frequent or too intense, you can request a temporary break from your km8 account at any time by contacting our support team. A cooling-off period — whether it is a few days or several weeks — can help you reset and return to gaming with a healthier mindset. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets, giving you genuine distance from the platform. We will not send you promotional messages while your account is paused. Your wellbeing always comes before platform activity.

Support Is Here

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling-related issues, reaching out for help is the right move and there is no shame in doing so. Our support team is available through your km8 account and can guide you to appropriate resources. In the Philippines, the National Council on Disability Affairs and various community mental health centres offer counselling for gambling concerns. You can also visit our FAQ page for more guidance on account controls and self-help tools. You are never alone in this — help is always within reach.

Recognise the Warning Signs

Awareness is the first step. Check whether any of these patterns apply to you or someone close to you.

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or more than you can comfortably afford.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play.
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
  • Continuing to play in order to chase losses, hoping the next bet will recover what you have lost.
  • Neglecting work, school, household responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gaming.
  • Borrowing money, selling belongings, or using credit to fund gaming sessions.
  • Feeling that gaming is the only activity that brings you relief from stress or negative emotions.

If two or more of these signs feel familiar, we strongly encourage you to take a break and speak to someone you trust. You can also contact our support team through your km8 account for guidance on self-exclusion and account controls. Seeking help early makes a significant difference — problem gambling is a recognised condition and effective support is available in the Philippines.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Quick answers to common questions from Filipino players about staying safe on km8.

To set a deposit limit, log in to your km8 account and contact our support team through the available channel. Our team will apply the limit you request — daily, weekly, or monthly — and it will take effect immediately. Reducing an existing limit is processed right away, while requests to increase a limit may be subject to a short cooling-off period to protect your wellbeing. We recommend reviewing your deposit limits regularly to make sure they still reflect your current financial situation. Setting a realistic limit before you start playing is one of the most effective responsible gaming tools available.

Yes. If you feel you need time away from gaming, you can request a temporary self-exclusion through our support team after logging in to your km8 account. During the exclusion period, your account will be locked and you will not be able to deposit, bet, or access the game lobby. We will also pause any marketing communications to your registered contact details for the duration of the break. You can choose a period that suits you — from a few days up to several months. When the period ends, you will need to contact support to reactivate your account, giving you an additional moment to reflect before returning.

The most important first step is to acknowledge the concern and reach out for support — that takes real courage. You can contact our km8 support team to request an immediate account suspension while you seek help. In the Philippines, community mental health services and local government health offices can connect you with counsellors who specialise in gambling-related issues. Talking to a trusted family member or friend can also provide immediate relief and accountability. Remember that problem gambling is a recognised condition, not a personal failing, and effective help is available. Visit our FAQ page for additional guidance on account controls and next steps.
