Play Smart, Stay in Control
nu star Responsible Gaming for Filipino Players
At nu star, we believe that gaming should always be a fun and enjoyable experience. We are committed to helping every Filipino player stay in control of their time and spending on our platform. This page outlines the tools, guidelines, and support resources available to you. If you ever feel that gaming is affecting your daily life, we encourage you to use the options below or reach out to our support team at [email protected].
Tools Built for You
Stay in Control With These Player Tools
nu star provides practical tools that put you in charge of how you play. Use any of these features at any time directly from your account settings or by contacting our support team.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much Philippine pesos (PHP) you deposit into your account. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time and the change takes effect immediately. Raising a limit requires a short cooling-off period to protect you from impulsive decisions. This tool is one of the most effective ways to keep your gaming budget predictable and stress-free.
Session Time Reminders
Choose how long you want each gaming session to last and we will send you a reminder when that time is up. Keeping track of time is easy to forget when you are enjoying a game, so this feature acts as a friendly nudge to take a break. You can set reminders for as little as 30 minutes or as long as several hours, depending on your preference. Regular breaks help you stay refreshed and make better decisions during play. We recommend reviewing your session length regularly to make sure it still suits your lifestyle.
Take a Break
If you feel you need a short pause from gaming, you can activate a temporary break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this period your account will be suspended from all gaming activity, though you can still access your account to check your balance or request a withdrawal. This option is ideal when life gets busy or when you simply want to reset your habits without permanently closing your account. The break period cannot be shortened once activated, giving you the space you asked for. You can request a break at any time by contacting [email protected].
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a stronger step for players who feel they need a longer break from gaming. You can request to exclude yourself from nu star for a minimum of six months or up to five years. During self-exclusion, your account will be fully deactivated and you will not be able to register a new account on the platform. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly — usually within 24 hours of your request being received. To apply, please write to [email protected] with your registered account details and your preferred exclusion period.
Loss Limits
A loss limit lets you decide the maximum amount in PHP you are comfortable losing within a set period. Once that threshold is reached, your account will be restricted from further wagering until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to enjoy gaming without the risk of unexpected large losses affecting their finances. Like deposit limits, reductions take effect immediately while increases require a review period. Setting a realistic loss limit is a healthy habit that keeps gaming enjoyable for the long term.
Reality Checks
Reality check notifications appear on screen at intervals you choose, showing you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in that session. These pop-ups are a gentle reminder to pause, reflect, and decide whether you want to continue or log out. They are particularly helpful during longer sessions when it can be easy to lose track of time and spending. You can customise the frequency of these checks in your account settings at any time. Staying aware of your activity is one of the simplest and most powerful responsible gaming habits you can build.
Know the Warning Signs
When Gaming Stops Being Fun
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or experience. Recognising the early signs is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, please reach out for support.
-
Spending more money or time on gaming than you originally planned, and finding it difficult to stop even when you want to.
-
Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, which often leads to larger losses.
-
Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of time spent gaming.
-
Borrowing money, selling belongings, or using funds meant for essential expenses such as rent or food in order to fund gaming activity.
-
Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play, or using gaming as a way to escape stress or difficult emotions.
-
Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends, or feeling shame or guilt about how much you play or spend.
