Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming at restbet

At restbet, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. We're committed to giving every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to play responsibly — every single session.

Strictly for players aged 21 and above only

Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

Here at restbet, we take responsible gaming seriously — not just because it's required by our operating standards, but because we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every player on our platform. Whether you're spinning slots from Makati, playing bingo in Cebu, or catching a live casino session in Davao, we want your restbet experience to stay enjoyable and stress-free.

Gambling is a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or solve financial problems. restbet encourages all players to set clear limits, take regular breaks, and never chase losses. If gaming stops being fun, it's time to step back — and restbet has the tools to help you do exactly that.

As part of our commitment to responsible gaming, restbet complies with all applicable PAGCOR regulations and supports the responsible gaming framework established for the Philippine online gaming industry. We also work alongside recognised support organisations to ensure players in need can access help quickly.

Important: restbet is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. Underage gambling is illegal in the Philippines and will result in immediate account closure.
Healthy Gaming Habits
1
Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide how much you can comfortably afford to spend before you start. Treat it like a night out — once the budget is gone, the session is over. Never gamble with money meant for rent, bills, or daily essentials.

2
Set a Time Limit

It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the zone. Use restbet's session time reminders to keep your gaming sessions short and enjoyable. Regular breaks help you stay sharp and in control.

3
Never Chase Losses

Losing streaks happen to everyone. The worst thing you can do is increase your bets trying to win it all back. Accept losses as part of the game and walk away when you've hit your limit.

4
Keep Gaming in Perspective

Gaming is one of many ways to have fun. Make sure it doesn't crowd out other activities you enjoy — time with family, friends, work, and hobbies should always come first.

Your Safety Controls at restbet

restbet provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools accessible directly from your account dashboard. You're always in control.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits on your restbet account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period. When your loss limit is reached, restbet will automatically suspend further gameplay for that period to protect your bankroll.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration and receive a notification when your time is up. restbet can automatically log you out when your session limit is reached, helping you maintain a healthy gaming routine.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account will be temporarily suspended and you won't be able to log in or deposit.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, you can request a self-exclusion of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully closed and you cannot register a new one.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality check pop-ups that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent. These gentle reminders help you stay aware and make informed decisions during your session.

Is Your Gaming Still Under Control?

Problem gambling can develop gradually and is often hard to recognise from the inside. restbet encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves. If you answer "yes" to several of the questions on the right, it may be time to use our responsible gaming tools or seek support.

There is no shame in asking for help. Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life — from busy professionals in Makati to students in Quezon City. The important thing is recognising the signs early and taking action before things escalate.

If you're concerned about your gambling habits, contact our support team immediately. We can activate responsible gaming tools on your account right away.

How to Self-Exclude from restbet

Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel their gambling is getting out of hand. When you self-exclude from restbet, your account is immediately closed, all pending bonuses are forfeited, and you will be blocked from creating a new account for the duration of your exclusion period.

restbet takes self-exclusion requests seriously. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period ends — this is intentional, to give you the space and time you need to regain control. Any remaining balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your registered GCash or bank account.

1
Contact Support

Reach out to our 24/7 support team via live chat or email at [email protected] and request self-exclusion.

2
Choose Your Duration

Select from 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Our team will confirm your choice before proceeding.

3
Account Closed Immediately

Your restbet account is closed instantly. You will receive a confirmation email and your remaining balance will be processed for withdrawal.

You're Not Alone

restbet supports the responsible gaming framework established by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) for the Philippine online gaming industry. PAGCOR's responsible gaming programme provides resources, guidelines, and support for players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties.

If you or someone you know needs help with problem gambling, the following resources are available to Filipino players. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness — and help is closer than you think.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

PAGCOR operates a responsible gaming programme for all licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. Players can contact PAGCOR directly for guidance on self-exclusion and problem gambling support.

National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH Crisis Hotline provides free mental health support for Filipinos. If gambling-related stress is affecting your mental health, their trained counsellors are available to help.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous offers peer support meetings for people struggling with compulsive gambling. Chapters are active in Metro Manila, Cebu, and other major cities across the Philippines.

Remember: restbet will never send promotional materials to players who have self-excluded. If you receive any such communication after self-exclusion, please report it to our support team immediately.

Protecting Minors – Strict 21+ Policy

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the age of 21. restbet enforces a rigorous age verification process for all new registrations. Every player must submit valid government-issued identification before their account is activated and before any deposits or withdrawals are processed.

Accepted identification documents include a Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, driver's licence, PhilHealth ID, or any other government-issued photo ID that clearly shows your date of birth. Accounts where the player is found to be under 21 will be immediately and permanently closed, and any funds deposited will be returned to the source payment method.

If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing restbet or other online gambling platforms, we recommend installing parental control software on shared devices and having an open conversation about the risks of underage gambling.
