Responsible Gaming

Play Smart. Play Safe. Play Responsibly.

At bet117, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never stressful, never harmful. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control of their gaming experience.

21+ Age Restriction Strictly Enforced
PAGCOR Regulated Platform

Our Commitment to You

bet117 takes responsible gaming seriously. These are the core pillars of how we protect every player on our platform — from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City.

Strict 21+ Age Verification

Every bet117 account requires mandatory KYC age verification. We use government-issued ID checks to ensure no one under 21 can access real-money gaming on our platform. No exceptions, ever.

Player-Controlled Limits

Set your own deposit, loss, and session time limits directly from your bet117 account dashboard. These limits take effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period.

Self-Exclusion Programme

Need a break? Our self-exclusion tool lets you temporarily or permanently close your account. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the exclusion period — your wellbeing comes first.

Reality Check Reminders

Lose track of time? bet117's reality check feature sends you periodic pop-up notifications showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered — keeping you grounded and aware.

24/7 Support in Filipino

Our dedicated responsible gaming support team is available around the clock via live chat. Whether you need help setting limits or just want to talk, we're here — in English and Filipino.

Behaviour Monitoring

bet117 uses automated systems to monitor gaming patterns for signs of problem gambling. If our system flags unusual behaviour, our team will proactively reach out to offer support and resources.

21+

You Must Be 21 or Older to Play

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, the minimum legal age for participation in casino-style gambling and sports betting is 21 years old. bet117 strictly enforces this requirement. All new accounts must complete identity and age verification before any real-money gaming is permitted.

If you suspect that a minor is attempting to access bet117, please contact our support team immediately via live chat. We take underage gambling prevention very seriously and will act swiftly on any report.

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

bet117 puts you in the driver's seat. Every tool in our responsible gaming toolkit is available directly from your account settings — no need to contact support, no waiting period to activate limits. Here's what you can do right now to stay in control of your gaming at bet117.

Remember: gambling at bet117 is meant to be entertainment. It should never be used as a way to earn income, escape problems, or cope with stress. If gaming stops being fun, it's time to use these tools — or reach out to our support team.

Tip for Filipino players: If you're using GCash or PayMaya for deposits, setting a weekly deposit limit is one of the easiest ways to keep your gaming budget in check. You can set it in under 60 seconds from your bet117 account dashboard.
1
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your bet117 account per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered instantly but can only be raised after a 7-day cooling-off period.

2
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing within a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, you'll be automatically locked out of real-money gaming for the remainder of that period — protecting your bankroll and your peace of mind.

3
Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When your time is up, bet117 will automatically log you out. You can also enable reality check pop-ups at intervals of your choosing — every 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours.

4
Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from bet117 without permanently closing your account. Choose a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in or make deposits. Your account and balance are safely preserved.

5
Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, bet117 offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Any remaining balance will be returned to you.

6
Account Activity History

Review your full gaming history, including all bets placed, games played, deposits, withdrawals, and session durations. Transparency about your own activity is one of the most powerful tools for responsible gaming.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, which is why it's important to recognise the early warning signs. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following, it may be time to seek help.

Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose, or borrowing money to fund gaming sessions.

Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when not gambling, or when trying to cut down on gaming.

Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've already lost.

Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gambling.

Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.

Using gambling as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of depression or anxiety.

Feeling unable to stop gambling even when you want to, or after promising yourself you would stop.

Getting Help

If you recognise any of these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about, please don't wait. Help is available, and reaching out is a sign of strength — not weakness. bet117 supports the following responsible gaming resources for Filipino players.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming standards for all licensed operators in the Philippines. PAGCOR provides guidance and resources for players who need support. Contact PAGCOR through official Philippine government channels for responsible gaming assistance.

bet117 Support Team

Our 24/7 live chat support team includes trained responsible gaming advisers who can help you activate self-exclusion, set limits, or simply talk through your concerns. Average response time is under 5 minutes. You can also reach us at [email protected] — include "Responsible Gaming" in the subject line for priority handling.

National Council for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH Philippines provides mental health support and counselling services for Filipinos dealing with compulsive behaviour, including problem gambling. Services are available in Manila and through regional offices across the country.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous runs peer support groups across the Philippines, including in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. These free, confidential meetings connect you with others who understand what you're going through and can offer real, lived-experience support.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly to get a sense of your current relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical tool — it's a starting point for reflection.

1. Do you ever gamble more than you originally planned to?
2. Have you ever felt the need to bet more money to get the same level of excitement?
3. Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more?
4. Has gambling ever caused problems with your family, work, or finances?
5. Do you use gambling to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?
How to read your answers: If you answered "Sometimes," "Often," or "Almost always" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to speak with our responsible gaming support team or consider activating a cooling-off period on your bet117 account. There's no shame in asking for help — it's the smart move.

The Golden Rules of Responsible Gaming

Keep these principles in mind every time you play at bet117. They're simple, but they make a real difference.

Only Bet What You Can Afford

Set a gaming budget before you start and stick to it. Never use money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or your family's needs. Treat your gaming budget like a night-out budget — once it's gone, it's gone.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

Gambling at bet117 is entertainment — like watching a PBA game or going to the movies. The house always has an edge over time. Never rely on gambling as a source of income or a financial strategy.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly. Go for a walk, have a meal, spend time with family. Gaming sessions should have a clear start and end time. Use bet117's session timer to keep yourself on track.

Never Chase Losses

Losing is a normal part of gambling. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop — don't try to win it back. Chasing losses is one of the most common paths to problem gambling, and it rarely ends well.

Don't Play Under the Influence

Avoid gambling when you're tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair your judgement and can lead to decisions you'll regret. Play with a clear head.

Know When to Stop

Whether you're winning or losing, knowing when to walk away is the mark of a smart player. Set a win limit as well as a loss limit — and honour both. The games will always be here tomorrow.
