Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At nustra, responsible gaming is not just a compliance checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate every single day. As a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platform built for Filipino players, we understand that while gaming is meant to be entertaining, it can become harmful for some individuals if left unchecked. That is why nustra has developed a comprehensive responsible gaming program that puts player wellbeing ahead of revenue.

Gaming, whether it is placing bets on your favorite PBA team, spinning slots, or playing bingo online, should always be a leisure activity — something you do for fun within your means. The moment it stops being enjoyable and starts affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, it has crossed into problem gambling territory. nustra is here to help you recognize that line and act before it becomes a serious issue.

Our responsible gaming tools are available to all registered players at no cost. You can access deposit limits, loss limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion directly from your nustra account settings at any time. No waiting period, no complicated process — just straightforward tools designed to keep you in control of your gaming experience.

nustra also works in cooperation with PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines and supports the national self-exclusion program for players who need a stronger intervention. If you believe your gaming has become a problem, we encourage you to use our self-exclusion feature immediately and reach out to our support team at [email protected] for further assistance.

Quick Self-Assessment

// Ask yourself honestly
Q1 Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned, or more than you can afford to lose?
Q2 Have you tried to cut back on gaming but found it difficult or impossible to stop once you started?
Q3 Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play or place a bet?
Q4 Have you borrowed money, sold personal belongings, or missed bill payments to fund your gaming?
Q5 Has your gaming started to affect your work, studies, family relationships, or your overall mental health?
⚠️ If you answered "yes" to any of the above: You may be experiencing signs of problem gambling. We strongly encourage you to use nustra's self-exclusion tool or contact our responsible gaming support team at [email protected] right away.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not always look the same for everyone. Here are common warning signs that your gaming may have moved from entertainment into something that needs attention.

💸
Chasing Losses

Continuing to bet or deposit more money in an attempt to win back what you have already lost — a common and dangerous cycle that deepens financial harm.

🕐
Losing Track of Time

Spending far longer on gaming sessions than intended, missing meals, sleep, or important commitments without realizing how much time has passed.

🤫
Hiding Gaming Activity

Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend on gaming, or feeling the need to keep it secret.

😰
Using Gaming to Escape

Turning to online gaming as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties rather than addressing them directly.

💳
Financial Strain

Taking out loans, borrowing from family or friends, or delaying essential bills like rent, utilities, or groceries in order to fund gaming activity.

😤
Irritability When Not Playing

Feeling agitated, anxious, or emotionally low when unable to access gaming — a sign that gaming has shifted from leisure to psychological dependence.

🆘 Need Help Now? If you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, please use nustra's self-exclusion tool immediately or contact our player support team at [email protected]. You can also seek professional help from mental health services and gambling addiction support organizations in the Philippines.

nustra Player Protection Tools

Every nustra account comes with six built-in responsible gaming tools — available free of charge, effective immediately, and accessible directly from your account settings.

💰 DEPOSIT LIMIT
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your nustra account. Once the limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced — increases require a 48-hour cooling period.

📉 LOSS LIMIT
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given time period. When your losses hit the threshold you set, nustra will automatically restrict further wagers for the remainder of that period — protecting your bankroll before things go too far.

⏱️ SESSION LIMIT
Session Time Reminders

Set a maximum gaming session duration. nustra will display a reminder notification when you approach your time limit, and can automatically log you out when the session cap is reached — keeping your playtime balanced and intentional.

🧊 COOLING-OFF
Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming without permanently closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or 1 month. During this time your account is temporarily suspended and cannot be reactivated early — giving you genuine breathing room.

🚫 SELF-EXCLUSION
Self-Exclusion

Request a full account suspension for a defined period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or 5 years — or a permanent self-exclusion with no end date. During self-exclusion, nustra will suppress all marketing communications to your registered contact details. This tool is irreversible for the chosen duration.

👨‍👧 REALITY CHECK
Reality Check Alerts

Enable periodic on-screen alerts that display your current session duration, total amount wagered, and net result since your session started. Reality checks are shown at intervals you choose — from every 15 minutes to every 2 hours — keeping you grounded in facts, not just feelings.

How to Self-Exclude on nustra

If you have decided that you need a break or a permanent exclusion from nustra, here is how to activate self-exclusion quickly. The process takes less than two minutes and takes effect immediately.

01
Log In to Your nustra Account

Access your account through the nustra Login page. Make sure you are logged in to the account you want to self-exclude — the exclusion is account-specific.

02
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming

Navigate to your account settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" section. All six protection tools, including self-exclusion, are available here.

03
Select Self-Exclusion & Choose Your Duration

Choose from 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Read the confirmation details carefully before proceeding — self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends.

04
Confirm Your Identity & Submit

For security, you will be asked to re-enter your password to confirm the exclusion request. Once confirmed, your account is immediately suspended and all marketing communications are stopped.

05
Contact Support if You Need Help

If you encounter any difficulty with the self-exclusion process, contact our responsible gaming support team directly at [email protected] and we will process the exclusion manually within one hour.

📌 Important: Self-exclusion on nustra does not automatically extend to other online gaming platforms. If you require a broader exclusion, we recommend contacting PAGCOR directly to request inclusion on the national self-exclusion list.

Tips for Healthy Gaming

nustra wants every Filipino player to enjoy gaming as a form of entertainment — not a source of stress. Follow these practical guidelines to keep your gaming experience positive.

🎯 BUDGETING
Set a Gaming Budget Before You Play

Decide in advance exactly how much you are willing to spend — treat it like a budget for entertainment, just like you would for a night out in BGC or a movie in SM Aura. Once that amount is gone, stop playing. Never dip into money set aside for rent, bills, or daily necessities.

⏰ TIME MGMT
Use a Timer and Take Regular Breaks

Set a phone alarm before you start a gaming session and stick to it. Take at least a 15-minute break for every hour of play. Step away from the screen, drink water, and check in with yourself — are you still enjoying it, or are you just grinding out of habit?

🧾 AWARENESS
Track Your Wins and Losses Honestly

Use nustra's transaction history to review your actual gaming activity regularly. Seeing the real numbers — not just how it felt — is one of the most effective ways to maintain an accurate perspective on your gaming habits and spending patterns.

🤝 SOCIAL
Balance Gaming With Other Activities

Make sure gaming is just one of many enjoyable activities in your life — not the primary one. Maintain your social connections, physical health, hobbies, and family relationships. A balanced lifestyle is the strongest protection against problem gambling.

🚷 AVOID
Never Chase Your Losses

If you have hit your loss limit for the day, log out and step away. The urge to "win it back" is one of the most common and destructive patterns in problem gambling. Losses that have already occurred cannot be recovered by betting more — that is a mathematical certainty, not an opinion.

💬 SUPPORT
Talk to Someone You Trust

If you feel like gaming is becoming a problem but you are not ready to self-exclude, start by talking to a trusted family member or friend about how you are feeling. You do not have to handle it alone — and reaching out early makes a significant difference in outcomes.

PAGCOR & Support Resources

As a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platform, nustra operates within the responsible gaming framework established by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. PAGCOR sets mandatory responsible gaming standards for all licensed operators, and nustra not only meets but actively supports these standards as part of our commitment to Filipino player welfare.

PAGCOR maintains a national responsible gaming program that includes a centralized self-exclusion registry. Players who wish to exclude themselves from all PAGCOR-licensed gaming venues and platforms — not just nustra — can submit a request directly to PAGCOR. nustra supports and cooperates with this program fully: any player who appears on the PAGCOR national exclusion list will have their nustra account suspended immediately upon identification.

For players in the Philippines who are struggling with problem gambling, nustra strongly encourages reaching out to professional support. Our customer support team at [email protected] can provide referrals to appropriate counseling services and can assist with all responsible gaming tool activations. You are not alone, and help is genuinely available.

🏛️ PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: nustra complies with all PAGCOR-mandated responsible gaming requirements as a condition of our operating license. Players may contact PAGCOR directly for matters relating to licensing compliance, national self-exclusion, or formal complaints about gaming operators in the Philippines.
📧 nustra Responsible Gaming Support: For all responsible gaming requests, tool activations, self-exclusion assistance, or player welfare concerns, contact our dedicated team: [email protected]. We are available 24/7 and all responsible gaming requests are handled as a priority.
