Player Protection
Gaming at Skinape should always be fun — never stressful, never harmful. We take responsible gaming seriously and provide every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control. If gaming ever stops feeling like entertainment, we're here to help.
Our Commitment
At Skinape, responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. We are a PAGCOR-regulated platform serving Filipino players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Makati, and beyond, and we take our duty of care to every single player seriously.
Gambling is a form of entertainment. Like any form of entertainment, it works best when you set boundaries, stay aware of how much time and money you're spending, and treat wins and losses as part of the experience — not as a financial strategy. Skinape is designed to be enjoyed, not relied upon.
We comply fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and actively encourage all players to make use of the player protection tools built into the Skinape platform. These tools are free, easy to use, and available 24/7 directly from your account settings.
Age Restriction: Skinape is strictly for players aged 21 years and above, in line with PAGCOR regulations governing casino-style gaming in the Philippines. We verify age at registration and during KYC checks. Underage gambling is illegal and harmful.
Built-In Protection
Every Skinape account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming tools. Access them anytime from your account settings — no waiting, no forms, no hassle.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your Skinape account to control how much you fund your balance over any given period. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Set a maximum session duration so the platform automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when your chosen time is up. Whether it's 30 minutes or 3 hours, session limits help you stay aware of how long you've been playing and prevent gaming from eating into your daily routine.
Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your Skinape account for a period of your choosing — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. Your account and balance are preserved and will be available when the period ends.
Self-exclusion is a longer-term option for players who feel they need a more serious break from gaming. You can self-exclude your Skinape account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully locked and cannot be reactivated until the exclusion period expires. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.
Reality check notifications pop up at regular intervals during your gaming session to show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered. These gentle reminders help you stay grounded and make conscious decisions about whether to continue playing or take a break.
Set a maximum loss threshold for a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your net losses reach the limit you've set, Skinape will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets. Loss limits are one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming within a budget you're comfortable with.
Step-by-Step
Activating self-exclusion on Skinape takes less than two minutes. Here's how to do it from your account — no need to contact support unless you prefer to.
Visit /login and sign in with your registered email and password. Make sure you're on a secure, private device.
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner and select "Responsible Gaming" from the dropdown menu to access all player protection tools.
Choose "Self-Exclusion" from the list of available tools. Select your preferred exclusion period — 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion.
Review the terms of your self-exclusion, confirm your identity, and submit. Your account will be locked immediately. You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address.
Self-exclusion works best alongside professional support. We strongly encourage players who self-exclude to reach out to a counsellor or support group during their exclusion period.
🚨 Important: If you attempt to create a new Skinape account during an active self-exclusion period, that account will be closed and any deposits returned. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and Skinape enforces it strictly.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use Skinape's protection tools or seek professional support.
✅ If you answered yes to 2 or more: Please consider using Skinape's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, and speak to a trusted person or professional counsellor about your gaming habits.
Healthy Habits
Most Skinape players enjoy gaming as a fun pastime. These simple habits help keep it that way — whether you're playing from Quezon City, Davao, or anywhere in the Philippines.
Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you open the app. Treat it like a night out — once the budget is gone, the session is over. Never gamble with money meant for rent, bills, or groceries.
Use Skinape's session time limit feature or simply set a timer on your phone. Gaming is more enjoyable when it's a defined activity, not something that bleeds into the rest of your day without you noticing.
Chasing losses is one of the most common signs of problem gambling. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, log out and do something else. Tomorrow is another day — and Skinape will still be here.
Avoid gaming when you're drunk, emotionally upset, or exhausted. Good decision-making is key to responsible gaming. If you're not in the right headspace, step away and come back when you're feeling clear-headed.
The Skinape app gives you direct access to all responsible gaming tools from your mobile device. Set deposit limits, activate reality checks, or initiate a cooling-off period right from the app — available on Android and iOS. Download it at /app.
If gaming is causing stress in your relationships or finances, talk to a family member, close friend, or professional counsellor. In the Philippines, support is available through community health centres and mental health professionals. You don't have to deal with it alone.
Age Policy
Under PAGCOR regulations, casino-style gaming in the Philippines is restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. Skinape enforces this requirement rigorously at every stage of the player journey — from registration through to ongoing account monitoring.
When you register a Skinape account, you are required to confirm that you are 21 or older. Before your first withdrawal, you must complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process, which includes submitting a valid government-issued ID showing your date of birth. Accepted documents include a Philippine passport, driver's licence, SSS ID, UMID, or PhilSys national ID.
If Skinape has reason to believe that a player is under 21 — whether through KYC review, a report from a third party, or any other means — the account will be immediately suspended pending investigation. If underage gambling is confirmed, the account will be permanently closed, all data deleted, and any deposits returned to the payment source.
Parents and guardians: If you share a device with a minor, please ensure that your Skinape account is protected with a strong, unique password and that you log out after every session. Do not share your login credentials with anyone. If you believe a minor has accessed your account, contact Skinape support immediately.
