Responsible Gaming

Gambling should always be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being fun, please stop and seek help.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years old or meet the local legal age requirement for gambling in the Philippines to access betting services. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We encourage parents and guardians to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Ask yourself if you have experienced any of the following:

• Chasing losses — trying to win back money you have lost by gambling more.
• Hiding your gambling activities from family or friends.
• Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or groceries.
• Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
• Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or depression.
• Thinking about gambling constantly or planning the next gambling session.
• Needing to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same excitement.

If you recognise several of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please take action.

Self-Help Tools

Many licensed gambling operators offer practical tools to help you stay in control. You can often set these in your account settings or by contacting customer support:

• Deposit limits — cap the amount of money you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly.
• Loss limits — set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a period.
• Reality checks — receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent.
• Time-outs — take a short break from gambling for 24 hours, 7 days, or longer.
• Self-exclusion — block yourself from accessing your gambling account for a set period or permanently.

Use these tools proactively, not only after problems appear.
