Gaming should be fun — a form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial hardship. At openbet, we are committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience safe, enjoyable, and in control.

⚠️ Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

openbet supports responsible gaming for all Filipino players. Must be 21 years of age or older to use the openbet platform. If gambling is affecting your life, please use our self-exclusion tools or seek help.

PAGCOR Licensed · Player Safety First

Our Commitment to You

openbet is a PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platform serving Filipino players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and beyond. We take our responsibility as a licensed operator seriously — and that means going beyond just offering great games. It means making sure every player on our platform has access to the resources they need to stay in control.

Problem gambling is a real concern in the Philippines and around the world. openbet actively works to identify players who may be at risk and provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools — from deposit limits and session reminders to cooling-off periods and permanent self-exclusion. These tools are available to every registered openbet player, free of charge, at any time.

Remember: gambling is a form of entertainment. The house always has an edge. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and never chase your losses. If you feel that gambling is no longer fun and is starting to affect your finances, relationships, or mental health, please reach out — our support team is available 24/7 and is trained to help.

openbet Responsible Gaming Tools

Practical tools built into your openbet account to help you stay in control

💰
Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your openbet account. Limits take effect immediately when reduced. Increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. You are always in control of your budget.

⏱️
Session Time Reminders

Set a session timer so openbet notifies you when you have been playing for a set amount of time — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, or a custom duration. It is easy to lose track of time when you are in the zone, and this tool helps you stay aware.

❄️
Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place bets on openbet. Your account and balance remain safe, and you can return once the period ends.

🚫
Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break or want to stop gambling altogether, openbet's self-exclusion tool allows you to exclude yourself from the platform for a minimum of six (6) months or permanently. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period.

📊
Reality Check & Activity History

View your full gaming history, including total bets placed, wins, losses, and net position over any time period. Transparency about your actual gaming activity is one of the most powerful tools for staying in control. openbet makes this data easy to access in your account dashboard.

🤝
24/7 Support & Referrals

openbet's customer support team includes trained agents who can assist players experiencing gambling-related difficulties. If you reach out, we will listen without judgment and can provide referrals to professional support services available in the Philippines. You are never alone in this.

All responsible gaming tools on openbet are built directly into your player account — no need to contact support to activate most of them. Here is how to get started:

2

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3

4

5
Contact Support if You Need Help

If you need assistance activating any tool, or if you want to request self-exclusion urgently, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat or email at [email protected].

🧠 Quick Self-Check

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use openbet's responsible gaming tools or seek support.

Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?

Do you chase losses — betting more to try to win back what you lost?

Has gambling caused arguments with family members or friends?

Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down on gambling?

Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?

Do you gamble to escape problems or relieve feelings of stress or anxiety?

⚠️ If you answered yes to two or more of the above, please consider activating openbet's self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, or contact our support team for a confidential conversation.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. Recognizing the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help. openbet encourages all players to be honest with themselves about their gaming habits.

1

Preoccupation with gambling. Constantly thinking about past gambling experiences, planning the next session, or thinking about ways to get more money to gamble with.

2

Increasing bet sizes. Needing to gamble with larger and larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement — a sign of tolerance, similar to substance dependence.

3

Failed attempts to stop. Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling but being unable to do so, despite wanting to.

4

Gambling to escape. Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, depression, anxiety, or other emotional difficulties rather than as a form of entertainment.

5

Lying about gambling. Hiding gambling activity from family members, friends, or employers — feeling shame or guilt about the amount of time or money spent.

6

Financial consequences. Gambling with money meant for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses. Borrowing money from family or friends to fund gambling sessions.

The Impact of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling does not only affect the individual — it has a ripple effect on families, relationships, and communities. Understanding the broader impact can help motivate action before things escalate.

  • Take regular breaks — use openbet's session timer to remind yourself.
  • Never gamble when you are stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Balance gaming with other hobbies, social activities, and responsibilities.
  • Talk openly with someone you trust if gambling starts to feel out of control.

21+ Age Restriction — Strictly Enforced

In the Philippines, the legal minimum age for casino-style gambling is 21 years old, as mandated by PAGCOR regulations. openbet strictly enforces this requirement. All players must verify their age during the KYC (Know Your Customer) process before they can make a deposit or place a bet on the platform.

openbet uses a combination of automated identity verification and manual document review to confirm that every registered player is at least 21 years of age. Players who cannot verify their age will have their accounts suspended and any funds returned.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed the openbet platform, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take immediate action.

Play Smart. Play Safe. Play with openbet.

Enjoy the thrill of gaming — responsibly. openbet is here to support you every step of the way.
