Our Commitment to Every Filipino Player

How sbet supports healthy, enjoyable gaming habits across the Philippines.

sbet is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable online gaming environment for all players in the Philippines. We believe that gaming should be a fun, leisure activity — something you look forward to after a long day, not something that causes stress or financial pressure. That is why we have built a set of responsible gaming tools and guidelines directly into the platform, making it straightforward for Filipino players to manage their experience at any time. We require all registered players to be at least 21 years old, in line with Philippine regulations, and we take age verification seriously during the registration process. If you ever feel that your gaming habits are becoming difficult to manage, we encourage you to use the self-exclusion and limit-setting tools available in your account, or to reach out to our support team for guidance. Responsible gaming is not just a policy statement at sbet — it is a core part of how we operate and how we treat every player on the platform.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine pesos so your spending stays within a budget you are comfortable with. Limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not raised — without a mandatory cooling-off period.

Session Time Reminders

Choose how long you want each gaming session to last and receive a clear notification when that time is up. Taking regular breaks helps you stay refreshed and keeps gaming in its proper place as a leisure activity.

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, you can request a self-exclusion period of 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, or permanently. During exclusion, your account is suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications from sbet.

Recognise the Warning Signs Early

Knowing what to look for makes it easier to take action before a problem develops.

Behavioural Signs to Watch

  • Spending more money than you originally planned on a regular basis
  • Chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back what you lost
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not playing
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of gaming
  • Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund your gaming activity
  • Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend gaming

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Decide on a budget in Philippine pesos before you start and stick to it
  • Treat any winnings as a bonus, not as expected or guaranteed income
  • Play for enjoyment, not as a way to escape stress or personal problems
  • Take regular breaks and balance gaming with other leisure activities
  • Never play when you are tired, upset, or under the influence of alcohol
  • Keep gaming time separate from time with family and friends

Support Is Available in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a responsible gaming programme, and the National Council for Mental Health (NCMH) provides mental health support services across the country. You do not have to face this alone — reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our support team at sbet can also point you toward the right resources and help you activate account restrictions immediately.
