Play Responsibly

Responsible Gaming at Hey22

Gaming on Hey22 is meant to be fun — a way to unwind, enjoy exciting games, and maybe cheer on your favourite PBA team. We want every player to stay in control, play within their budget, and know when to take a break. This page covers everything you need to play safely.

21+ For players aged 21 and above only

How Hey22 Supports Responsible Play

We've built tools and practices into the platform so that enjoying Hey22 never has to come at the cost of your wellbeing or your family's.

Budget Management

Set a personal gaming budget before you start and stick to it. Hey22 encourages all players to decide on a maximum spend per session — and treat it as a firm limit, not a starting point.

Time Awareness

It's easy to lose track of time when you're enjoying a good game. We encourage players to set a time limit per session and take regular breaks, especially during long playing periods.

Self-Exclusion Option

If you feel you need a break from gaming, you can request a self-exclusion period through our support team. During this time, your account will be restricted from placing bets or making deposits.

Age Verification (21+)

Hey22 is strictly for adults aged 21 and above. We verify age during registration and KYC, and any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended and all activity voided.

24/7 Support Access

Our support team is available around the clock. If you or someone you know is showing signs of problem gambling, reach out to us directly through the live chat on the platform.

No Guarantees, Ever

Online gaming involves real financial risk. Hey22 never promises guaranteed wins, sure bets, or risk-free outcomes. Every game is based on chance, and losses are always possible.

Is Gaming Still Fun for You?

Most players enjoy online gaming as a form of entertainment — the same way you'd watch a basketball game or catch a movie. But for some people, gaming can gradually become a problem. Knowing the early warning signs helps you stay in control before things escalate.

Honestly ask yourself the questions on the right. If you find yourself saying yes to several of them, it may be worth taking a break and speaking to someone you trust — or reaching out to our support team.

Self-Check Questions

Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned?
Do you chase losses by placing more bets to try to win back what you lost?
Have you borrowed money or sold items to fund your gaming?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop playing?
Has gaming affected your work, studies, or relationships at home?
Do you hide how much time or money you spend on gaming from family or friends?
Do you play to escape stress, bad feelings, or everyday problems?
Answered yes to two or more? It may be time to talk to someone. Contact our support team through live chat, or speak with a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor. You are not alone, and there is support available.

Tools to Help You Stay in Control

Hey22 gives you practical options to manage how you engage with the platform. These tools are available through our support team.

1

Deposit Limits

Request a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap to keep your spending within a range you are comfortable with. Once set, limits can only be reduced immediately — increases take a cooling-off period.

2

Session Time Reminders

Ask our support team to set up session reminders so you receive a notification after a certain period of continuous play — a simple nudge to step back and take a breath.

3

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the platform — from 24 hours up to several weeks — without permanently closing your account. Your account is suspended during this period and reactivated when the time is up.

4

Self-Exclusion

For a more serious break, you can request self-exclusion for an extended period. During self-exclusion, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. Contact our support team to activate this.

Gaming Is Entertainment, Not Income

One of the most important mindsets to carry when you play on Hey22 is that gaming is a form of entertainment — like going to the cinema or watching a live PBA game. You pay for the experience, not a guaranteed return. Slots, live casino games, sports betting, and fish games all involve an element of chance, and the house edge means that over time, losses are the norm rather than the exception.

That does not mean gaming is not enjoyable — millions of players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, and the rest of the Philippines enjoy it every day for the thrill, the social aspect, and the excitement. But it does mean you should never bet money you cannot afford to lose, and you should never look to gaming as a way to solve financial problems.

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Decide on your budget before you log in — and do not exceed it.
  • Treat any winnings as a bonus, not something you can count on.
  • Set a time limit for each gaming session and stick to it.
  • Take regular breaks, especially after a long session.
  • Never play under the influence of alcohol, stress, or strong emotions.
  • Keep gaming separate from your financial obligations — rent, bills, groceries first.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not happen overnight — it usually develops gradually. The earlier it is recognised, the easier it is to address. Beyond the self-check questions above, here are broader patterns to be aware of, both for yourself and for people around you.

Behaviours That May Signal a Problem

  • Increasing the size of bets to maintain the same level of excitement.
  • Repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling.
  • Lying to family members or friends about the extent of your gaming.
  • Committing illegal acts — theft, fraud — to finance gambling.
  • Relying on others to bail out a desperate financial situation caused by gaming.
  • Missing important life events — birthdays, family gatherings, work deadlines — because of gaming.

If any of these apply to you or someone close to you, please do not ignore them. Reach out to a trusted person, contact our support team through the platform, or seek professional guidance. There is no shame in asking for help, and taking action early makes a real difference.

Protecting People Around You

If you share a device or a home with others — especially younger family members — we strongly encourage you to keep your Hey22 account credentials private. Never allow anyone under 21 to access the platform using your account. Log out after every session on shared devices, and use a strong, unique password that others would not guess.

If you suspect that someone in your household has been accessing your account without your knowledge, contact our support team immediately. We can help review your account activity and take the appropriate steps to secure it.

How to Reach Our Support Team

Our support team is available 24/7 through the live chat feature on the Hey22 platform. You can also email us at [email protected] (plain text — not a clickable link). Whether you want to set a deposit limit, request a cooling-off period, ask about self-exclusion, or just talk through a concern, we are here and ready to help — without judgment.

Remember: Hey22 is for adults aged 21 and above only. Gaming should be fun, not stressful. Play within your means, set limits, and take breaks. If you feel like gaming is becoming a burden rather than a pastime, please reach out. You can also visit our FAQ page for quick answers to common account and gaming questions.

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Hey22 is for players aged 21 and above only. This is enforced during registration and during KYC / identity verification, which is required before any withdrawal can be processed. If we discover that a player is under 21, the account will be immediately suspended and all activity voided.

Contact our support team through the live chat on the Hey22 platform and request a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit. Limits can be reduced immediately. If you want to increase a limit you have already set, there is a mandatory cooling-off period before the change takes effect — this is intentional, to give you time to reconsider.

Self-exclusion is a tool that temporarily or indefinitely restricts your access to the Hey22 platform — including login, deposits, and betting. It is designed for players who feel they need a meaningful break. To request self-exclusion, contact our support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed until the agreed period is over.

Yes. A cooling-off period lets you pause your account for a set duration — from 24 hours up to several weeks — without permanently closing it. Your account is suspended during this time and reactivated automatically when the period ends. Contact our support team to set this up.

No — and we never will. All games on Hey22 are based on chance, and the house edge means that over time, losses are expected. Hey22 is a platform for entertainment. We strongly discourage any player from treating gaming as a source of income, a way to recover debts, or a guaranteed financial strategy. Play for fun, within your budget.

Start by having an open, non-judgmental conversation with them. Share your concerns calmly and express that you are coming from a place of care, not criticism. If they are willing, encourage them to speak to a professional counsellor or contact our support team to activate self-exclusion or a cooling-off period on their account. You can also contact us on their behalf if you believe there is an urgent concern.
