Player Safety First

Responsible Gaming
at pisobet

Gaming should always be fun — a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or escape problems. pisobet is fully committed to providing a safe, fair, and responsible gaming environment for every Filipino player on our platform.

21+ Only — Strict Age Verification Required
21+

Minimum Age Requirement: 21 Years Old

In accordance with PAGCOR regulations, pisobet strictly prohibits access to players under 21 years of age. All accounts are subject to mandatory age verification before any gaming activity is permitted.

Our Commitment

Gaming That Stays Fun

At pisobet, we believe that responsible gaming is not just a legal obligation — it is a core part of who we are as a platform. Whether you are playing slots in Manila, enjoying bingo in Cebu, or trying your luck at live casino games in Davao, we want every session to be a positive experience.

Problem gambling is a real concern in the Philippines and across the world. pisobet takes this seriously. We have built a range of tools, policies, and support resources to help our players stay in control — and we actively encourage all players to use them.

Our responsible gaming framework is aligned with PAGCOR's guidelines for licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. We work continuously to improve our player protection measures and to ensure that pisobet remains a platform where entertainment comes first.

Remember: Gambling is a form of entertainment. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase your losses. If gaming stops being fun, it is time to take a break.

pisobet's Responsible Gaming Pledge

We pledge to provide all registered players with access to tools that help them manage their gaming activity, including deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options. These tools are available at no cost and can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team.

We pledge to never market our services to individuals who have self-excluded or who have indicated that they are experiencing gambling-related difficulties. We maintain strict marketing suppression lists and regularly audit our communications to ensure compliance.

We pledge to train our customer support team to recognize the signs of problem gambling and to respond with empathy, professionalism, and appropriate referrals to support resources — including PAGCOR's responsible gaming helpline and other Philippine-based support organizations.

We pledge to enforce our 21+ age restriction rigorously, using mandatory KYC verification for all new accounts, and to immediately suspend any account where there is reasonable suspicion that the account holder is under the legal gaming age.

We pledge to review and improve our responsible gaming policies on a regular basis, in consultation with PAGCOR guidelines and international best practices in player protection.

Player Protection Tools

How pisobet Keeps You in Control

We have built a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the pisobet platform. Every registered player can access these features at any time — no questions asked.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine Peso (₱) to keep your spending within a budget you are comfortable with. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so pisobet will automatically remind you — or log you out — when your chosen play time is up. Time can pass quickly when you are enjoying slots or live casino games, and this tool helps you stay aware of how long you have been playing.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to log in or place bets. This is ideal if you feel you need a short pause.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel that your gambling is becoming a problem, you can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully closed, all marketing is suppressed, and you cannot create a new account on pisobet.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach your chosen loss limit, pisobet will automatically prevent further betting activity for the remainder of that period. This tool is one of the most effective ways to protect your bankroll and your wellbeing.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered in the current session. Reality checks appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — giving you a moment to pause and reflect before continuing.

How to Activate: All responsible gaming tools are available in your pisobet account settings under the "Responsible Gaming" section. You can also contact our 24/7 support team at [email protected] to activate any tool on your behalf. Changes to limits that increase your exposure (e.g., raising a deposit limit) are subject to a mandatory 7-day waiting period.
Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Recognizing the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following sound familiar, we encourage you to reach out.

1
Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost — often leading to even greater losses. This is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.

2
Gambling Beyond Your Means

Spending money on gambling that was intended for essential expenses like rent, food, utilities, or family needs — or borrowing money from friends, family, or lenders to fund gambling activity.

3
Inability to Stop

Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or repeatedly failing to stick to limits you have set for yourself. Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop.

4
Hiding Your Gambling

Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling, or feeling the need to keep your gambling activity secret from the people close to you.

5
Neglecting Responsibilities

Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling. Losing interest in hobbies, social activities, or relationships that were previously important to you due to preoccupation with gambling.

6
Gambling to Escape

Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties — rather than as a form of entertainment. Feeling that gambling is the only way to feel better.

You Are Not Alone: If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for help. pisobet's support team is available 24/7, and there are dedicated support organizations in the Philippines that can help. See the support resources section below.
Self-Assessment

Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

This quick self-assessment is not a clinical diagnostic tool, but it can help you reflect on your gaming habits. Answer honestly — your responses are private and are not recorded by pisobet.

If you check three or more of the statements on the right, we strongly encourage you to consider using pisobet's responsible gaming tools, taking a break, or reaching out to a professional support service.

Remember: asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Thousands of Filipinos have successfully managed gambling-related difficulties with the right support.

Confidential: This checklist is entirely client-side. pisobet does not store or transmit your responses. It is purely a personal reflection tool.

Quick Self-Check

Check any statements that apply to your recent gaming behavior. Be honest with yourself.

I have spent more money on gambling than I originally planned to in the past month.

I have tried to win back money I lost by gambling more, rather than accepting the loss.

I have felt anxious, irritable, or restless when I tried to reduce or stop gambling.

I have hidden my gambling activity or the amount I have spent from family or friends.

I have used gambling as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, or negative emotions.

Gambling has negatively affected my work, studies, finances, or personal relationships.

I have borrowed money or sold possessions to fund my gambling activity.

Healthy Habits

Tips for Responsible Gaming

Following these simple guidelines can help ensure that gaming at pisobet remains a fun and enjoyable activity — and never becomes a source of stress or financial difficulty.

Decide how much money you are comfortable spending before you start playing — and treat it as an entertainment expense, not an investment. Use pisobet's deposit limit tool to enforce your budget automatically. A good rule of thumb: only gamble with money you can afford to lose entirely without it affecting your daily life, bills, or family needs. Never gamble with your GCash savings, BDO/BPI emergency fund, or money set aside for rent, food, or school fees.

It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying slots, bingo, or live casino games. Before you start, decide how long you will play — and stick to it. Use pisobet's session time limit feature to get an automatic reminder or logout when your time is up. Taking regular breaks during longer sessions also helps you stay clear-headed and make better decisions.

Gambling should be a form of entertainment — not a way to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, or financial difficulties. If you find yourself turning to pisobet when you are feeling low, upset, or under pressure, take a step back. Reach out to a friend, family member, or professional support service instead. Using gambling as an emotional coping mechanism is one of the most common pathways to problem gambling.

Losses are a normal part of gambling — every game has a house edge, and no strategy can guarantee consistent wins. When you reach your loss limit for the session, stop playing. Chasing losses by betting more in an attempt to recover what you have lost almost always leads to even greater losses and is a key warning sign of problem gambling. Accept the loss, close the app, and come back another day when you are in a better headspace.

Gaming is most enjoyable when it is one of many activities in a balanced life. Make sure that time spent on pisobet does not come at the expense of time with family, friends, work, studies, or other hobbies you enjoy. If people close to you — whether in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines — have expressed concern about your gambling, take their feedback seriously. They may be seeing something you are not.

Never share your pisobet login credentials with anyone — including family members. Shared accounts make it impossible to enforce responsible gaming limits effectively and may result in account suspension. If you are concerned that a family member may be accessing your account without your knowledge, contact our support team immediately to secure your account and review your activity history.
