At nurtstar, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, financial hardship, or family conflict. We are fully committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, resources, and support they need to keep their gaming experience safe, healthy, and in control.
For most players in the Philippines, online gaming at nurtstar is exactly what it should be — a fun, exciting way to unwind after a long day at the office in Makati, a quick game during a break in Cebu, or a weekend session with friends in Davao. But we also know that for some people, gambling can become more than just entertainment.
Problem gambling is a real concern, and nurtstar takes it seriously. That is why we have built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that gives every player the power to set their own limits, take breaks, and seek help when they need it — all without judgment and completely free of charge.
Our responsible gaming program is designed in line with best practices recognized by gaming regulators, including PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), which oversees the regulation of gaming activities in the Philippines. nurtstar encourages all players to familiarize themselves with PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines and to use the tools available on our platform to stay in control.
We verify the age of every player before they can deposit or play. No exceptions, ever.
Deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion are all available at no cost.
We never send promotional materials to players who have set limits or self-excluded.
Our 24/7 support agents are trained to identify and assist players showing signs of problem gambling.
We clearly display house edge information and RTP percentages so players can make informed decisions.
nurtstar provides five powerful tools that put you in complete control of your gaming activity. All tools are free, easy to activate, and can be adjusted at any time from your account settings.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine Peso. Once your limit is reached, you will not be able to deposit more until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately or increased after a 24-hour cooling-off period.
Receive pop-up reminders after playing for a set amount of time (e.g., 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours). These gentle nudges help you stay aware of how long you have been playing and encourage regular breaks.
Take a short break from gaming by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, or 7 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets. Your account and funds remain safe and accessible after the period ends.
Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from nurtstar for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Self-exclusion is immediate and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. This is the strongest protection tool available.
View a real-time summary of your gaming activity, including total deposits, total withdrawals, net win/loss, and time spent playing. This transparency helps you make informed decisions about your gaming habits.
Unsubscribe from promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications at any time. Players who have set limits or self-excluded are automatically removed from all marketing communications.
Problem gambling often develops gradually. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you or a loved one take action before the situation becomes serious. If you notice any of these behaviors, it may be time to seek help.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often leading to even bigger losses.
Hiding the amount of time or money spent gambling from family, friends, or colleagues.
Taking out loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit cards to fund gambling activity.
Missing work, skipping family events, or ignoring household duties because of gambling.
Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or depression related to gambling wins or losses.
Feeling unable to control or stop gambling, even when you want to or know you should.
Using gambling as a way to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions rather than for entertainment.
Struggling to pay bills, rent, or other essential expenses because money has been spent on gambling.
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available. It allows you to block your own access to nurtstar for a set period of time or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed until the exclusion period expires.
Visit the nurtstar website and log in using your registered email and password.
Navigate to your account settings and select "Responsible Gaming" from the menu.
Select your desired exclusion period: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent.
Read the terms carefully and confirm. Your account will be immediately locked for the selected period.
Consider contacting a professional counseling service or support group for ongoing help.
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, you may be experiencing problem gambling and should consider using our self-exclusion tool or seeking professional help.
You are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, these organizations provide free, confidential support and counseling services to Filipino residents.
