Our Commitments

How betsp Keeps Gaming Safe

◆

21+ Only

Strict Age Verification

betsp enforces a 21-year minimum age requirement for all players in accordance with PAGCOR regulations. Every new account undergoes mandatory KYC verification before any real-money gameplay or withdrawal is permitted.

Tools

Player-Controlled Limits

Set your own deposit limits, loss limits, wagering limits, and session time limits directly from your betsp account dashboard. These tools put you firmly in control of how much time and money you spend on the platform.

Break

Cool-Off Periods

Feeling like you need a breather? betsp's cool-off feature lets you take a short break from gaming for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, all promotional communications are also paused automatically.

Exclude

Self-Exclusion Programme

Players who feel their gambling is becoming a problem can request self-exclusion for periods ranging from 6 months to permanent exclusion. Once activated, betsp will block all access and marketing to the excluded account.

Reality

Reality Check Reminders

betsp sends regular in-session reality check notifications that display how long you have been playing and your net session result. These gentle prompts help you stay aware of your activity and make informed decisions.

Support

24/7 Player Support

Our dedicated responsible gaming support team is available around the clock to assist players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and across the Philippines with any concerns related to their gaming behaviour or account controls.

In-Platform Tools

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

◆

betsp provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that every registered Filipino player can access directly from their account settings — no need to contact support, no waiting periods for most tools.

Deposit Limits

Cap how much you can deposit into your betsp account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling period before activation.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a set timeframe. Once your loss limit is reached, betsp will automatically suspend further gameplay until the limit period resets.

Wagering Limits

Set a ceiling on the total amount you can wager — regardless of wins and losses — over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Ideal for players who prefer to track activity by turnover rather than net result.

Session Time Limits

Decide in advance how long each gaming session should last. When your session limit is reached, betsp will display a notification and, if you choose, log you out automatically after a short grace period.

Marketing Opt-Out

Opt out of all promotional emails, SMS messages, and push notifications at any time through your betsp account preferences. Your opt-out request is processed instantly.

Activity History

Review your full gaming history — deposits, withdrawals, game sessions, wins, and losses — directly in your betsp account. Transparent records help you reflect on your play patterns with full clarity.

How to Access Your Tools: Log in to your betsp account, navigate to Account Settings, and select the Responsible Gaming tab. All limit tools and self-exclusion options are available there. Changes to limits that increase protection take effect immediately; changes that relax protection include a mandatory review delay in line with PAGCOR responsible gaming guidelines.

Know the Signs

Recognising Problem Gambling

◆

Responsible gaming begins with self-awareness. Many Filipino players enjoy betsp as a fun, recreational activity — but for some, gambling can become problematic. Knowing the early warning signs is the first step toward getting the right support.

If you recognise any of the signs listed here in yourself or someone you care about, betsp encourages you to reach out to our support team or use your in-platform responsible gaming tools right away. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the responsible thing to do.

Remember: Gambling should be entertaining, not a way to earn income or escape problems. If it stops being fun, betsp's responsible gaming tools are here to help you take back control.

Chasing Losses Continuing to play or increasing bet sizes specifically to recover money that has already been lost — a pattern that typically leads to further losses rather than recovery.

Gambling Beyond Your Means Spending money intended for rent, utilities, food, or other essential expenses on gambling, or borrowing money from family, friends, or lenders to fund gaming activity.

Inability to Stop Feeling a strong compulsion to keep playing even when you intended to stop, or finding it very difficult to walk away from a gaming session regardless of the result.

Neglecting Responsibilities Missing work, school, family commitments, or social obligations due to time spent gaming, or hiding the extent of your gaming activity from people close to you.

Gambling as an Escape Turning to gambling as a primary way to cope with stress, anxiety, loneliness, boredom, or difficult personal circumstances rather than addressing the underlying issues directly.

Preoccupation with Gambling Thinking about gambling constantly — replaying past sessions, planning future bets, or looking for opportunities to gamble — even when engaged in other activities.

Mood Swings Tied to Results Experiencing significant emotional highs after wins and severe distress, irritability, or depression after losses, with your overall mood becoming increasingly dependent on gambling outcomes.

Take a Break

betsp Self-Exclusion Programme

◆

What Is Self-Exclusion?

Self-exclusion is a formal programme that allows any betsp player to voluntarily request that their account be blocked for a defined period — or permanently. Once a self-exclusion is in effect, betsp will immediately close your account to real-money gameplay, block all promotional communications, and take reasonable technical steps to prevent you from opening a new account during the exclusion period.

Self-exclusion at betsp is free, confidential, and can be requested at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly at [email protected]. We treat all self-exclusion requests with the utmost respect and urgency — typically activating exclusions within one hour of a confirmed request.

Available Exclusion Periods

betsp offers the following self-exclusion durations to match different levels of need:

6 Months Short-term break

1 Year Extended break

3 Years Long-term break

5 Years Extended long-term

Permanent Indefinite exclusion

Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. For time-limited exclusions, reinstatement requests are subject to a mandatory 7-day review period and a responsible gaming assessment before betsp will consider restoring account access.

PAGCOR National Exclusion: In addition to betsp's internal self-exclusion programme, PAGCOR maintains a national responsible gaming framework that covers licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines. betsp cooperates fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming directives and player protection mandates.

Getting Help in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is experiencing gambling-related harm, professional help is available. betsp encourages all players who need support to reach out to qualified counselling services.

Strict 21-Year Age Minimum — No Exceptions

Online casino gaming and sports betting in the Philippines is strictly regulated by PAGCOR, which mandates a minimum age of 21 years for all participants. betsp enforces this requirement without exception. Every new player must complete identity verification before accessing real-money games, and any account found to belong to a player under 21 years of age will be permanently closed immediately, with all balances forfeited in accordance with our Terms & Conditions.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has registered with betsp, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] so we can take prompt action. betsp uses third-party age and identity verification technology to detect and prevent underage access to the platform.

This cooling period is designed to prevent impulsive decisions made during active gaming sessions. All limit reductions that increase protection — such as lowering a deposit limit — take effect instantly.
