Responsible Gaming at Sandibet

◆ ◆ ◆

Gaming at Sandibet is meant to be fun — a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or escape problems. We take our responsibility to Filipino players seriously, and we've built a full suite of tools and resources to help you stay in control, play within your means, and enjoy the experience safely.

21+ Sandibet is strictly for players aged 21 years and above. This is a legal requirement under Philippine gaming regulations. No exceptions.

Our Commitment to You

At Sandibet, responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. We believe that every Filipino player deserves a safe, transparent, and controlled gaming environment. Whether you're playing Blackjack from Makati, spinning slots in Cebu, or enjoying a quick session in Davao, Sandibet is designed to keep you in the driver's seat at all times.

Problem gambling is a real concern, and we don't take it lightly. Sandibet operates in alignment with PAGCOR responsible gaming standards, and we actively encourage all players to use the tools available to them. If you ever feel that your gaming is getting out of hand, we want to be the first place you turn — not the last.

Our responsible gaming framework covers age verification, deposit limits, session controls, self-exclusion, and access to professional support resources. All of these tools are available to every registered Sandibet player, free of charge, at any time.

Sandibet's responsible gaming practices are aligned with the standards set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). We review and update our player protection measures regularly.
Age Verification

Strict 21+ enforcement through KYC checks on every new account. No exceptions, no workarounds.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit caps to keep your spending within a budget you're comfortable with.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from Sandibet at any time by contacting our support team.

Session Reminders

Set time reminders so you always know how long you've been playing. A quick nudge can make a big difference.

Tools Built to Keep You Safe

Every Sandibet player has access to these responsible gaming features

Deposit Limit Controls

You decide how much you can deposit in a given period. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap directly from your account settings. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory cooling-off period before it applies.

Take a Break

Need a short pause? Sandibet's "Take a Break" feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for a set period — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you won't be able to log in or place bets. It's a simple reset when you need one.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, Sandibet offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once a self-exclusion is in place, it cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Contact our support team to activate this at any time.

Reality Checks

Sandibet can send you periodic on-screen reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in your current session. These reality checks help you stay aware and make conscious decisions about continuing or stopping.

Account Closure

You can request permanent account closure at any time by contacting Sandibet support. All pending balances will be processed in accordance with our withdrawal policy before the account is closed. This option is always available, no questions asked.

Support & Counselling

Sandibet's support team is available 24/7 to assist players who have concerns about their gaming behaviour. We can connect you with responsible gaming resources and guide you through the tools available to help you regain control.

Know the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, and many players don't realise there's an issue until it has already affected their finances, relationships, or mental health. Sandibet encourages all players to be honest with themselves and to watch out for the following warning signs.

If you recognise any of these patterns in your own gaming behaviour, please reach out to our support team or consider using one of the responsible gaming tools available on your Sandibet account. There is no shame in asking for help — it's the smart move.

If gambling is causing you financial stress, affecting your relationships, or making you feel anxious or depressed, please stop playing and seek support immediately. You are not alone.

Problem Gambling Checklist

You spend more money on gambling than you originally planned or can afford.
You chase losses — betting more to try to win back money you've already lost.
You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling.
You hide your gambling activity from family members or close friends.
You borrow money, sell belongings, or neglect bills to fund your gambling.
Gambling is affecting your work, studies, or personal relationships.
You use gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems.
You feel a compulsive urge to gamble even when you know you should stop.
If you answered yes to two or more of the above, we strongly encourage you to activate a self-exclusion or take a break on your Sandibet account and speak to a professional counsellor.

How to Activate Your Safety Tools

Getting your responsible gaming settings in place takes just a few minutes

1
Log In to Your Sandibet Account

Head to the Sandibet platform and log in using your registered email and password. All responsible gaming tools are accessible from within your account dashboard once you are logged in.

2
Navigate to Account Settings

Go to your profile or account settings section. Look for the "Responsible Gaming" or "Player Protection" tab. This is where all your safety tools are housed — deposit limits, session reminders, take-a-break options, and self-exclusion.

3
Set Your Preferred Limits

Choose the tools that are right for you. Set a deposit limit that reflects your actual entertainment budget. Enable session time reminders if you tend to lose track of time. All limits you set take effect immediately — no waiting period for reductions.

4
Request Self-Exclusion if Needed

If you need a more serious break, contact the Sandibet support team directly via live chat or email at [email protected]. Our team will process your self-exclusion request promptly and confidentially. You can choose a period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion.

5
Reach Out for Support Anytime

Sandibet's support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether you're in Manila, Quezon City, or anywhere else in the Philippines, help is always just a message away. We treat all responsible gaming enquiries with complete confidentiality and zero judgment.

Pro tip: Set your deposit limits before you start playing — not after. It's much easier to stick to a budget when the guardrails are already in place. Think of it like setting a pasalubong budget before you go to the mall.

Healthy Gaming Habits

Simple principles that keep gaming fun and sustainable

Treat gaming as entertainment. Set aside a specific amount of money — your "entertainment budget" — and treat it the same way you'd treat money spent on a night out or a movie. Once it's gone, it's gone.
Never chase losses. If you've had a losing session, accept it and walk away. Chasing losses is one of the most common paths to problem gambling. The next session is a fresh start — not a recovery mission.
Set a time limit before you play. Decide in advance how long you'll play and stick to it. Use Sandibet's session reminder feature to keep yourself honest. Time flies when you're having fun — a reminder helps you stay grounded.
Don't play when you're emotional. Avoid gambling when you're stressed, upset, tired, or under the influence of alcohol. Emotional states impair judgment and can lead to impulsive decisions you'll regret later.
Balance gaming with other activities. Gaming should be one of many leisure activities in your life — not the only one. Make time for family, friends, exercise, and other hobbies alongside your Sandibet sessions.
Only use money you can afford to lose. Never gamble with rent money, savings, or funds earmarked for essential expenses like groceries or utilities. Your financial stability always comes first — gaming is a bonus, not a necessity.

Support Resources

You don't have to face this alone — help is available across the Philippines

Sandibet is committed to connecting players who need help with the right resources. If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, the following organisations provide confidential support and counselling services to Filipinos across the country — from Metro Manila to the Visayas and Mindanao.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) maintains responsible gaming standards for all licensed operators in the Philippines. PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework includes player protection guidelines, self-exclusion registries, and operator compliance requirements. Contact PAGCOR directly for information on their responsible gaming programmes.

National Center for Mental Health

The NCMH provides mental health services across the Philippines, including support for behavioural addictions such as problem gambling. Their crisis hotline is available to Filipinos who need immediate mental health support. You can reach the NCMH Crisis Hotline at 1553 (toll-free within the Philippines).

Sandibet Support Team

Our own support team is your first point of contact for any responsible gaming concern. Available 24/7, our Filipino support agents can help you activate limits, process self-exclusion requests, and connect you with external resources. Reach us at [email protected] — all enquiries are handled with full confidentiality.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling problem. GA meetings are held in various locations across Metro Manila and other major cities including Cebu and Davao.

Remember: Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Sandibet will never penalise a player for using responsible gaming tools or reaching out for support. Your wellbeing always comes before your account activity.
