At sekabet, we believe that entertainment should always feel good. This page outlines the tools, guidelines, and support resources available to Filipino players who want to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable.
We take our duty of care seriously. Here is how we support every Filipino player in making informed, healthy choices on our platform.
sekabet strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years old for all registered players in the Philippines, in line with local gaming regulations. During registration, we collect date-of-birth information and may request supporting identity documents to verify your age before your account is fully activated. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended and all funds returned. We also encourage parents and guardians to use device-level parental controls to prevent underage access to online gaming platforms. Protecting young people is a non-negotiable part of how we operate, and we take every report of underage access seriously. If you suspect that a minor is using a sekabet account, please contact our support team right away so we can investigate and act promptly.
One of the most effective ways to stay in control of your gaming activity is to set clear financial boundaries before you start playing. sekabet allows players to set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly through their account settings, so you can cap how much you add to your balance within any given period. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory cooling-off period, giving you time to reflect before making any changes. We strongly encourage all players to set a limit that reflects their personal entertainment budget — only ever play with money you can comfortably afford to lose. If you find yourself regularly reaching your deposit limit and feeling frustrated, that is a signal worth paying attention to. Our support team is available to help you review and adjust your limits at any time, and we will never pressure you to increase them.
It is easy to lose track of time when you are engaged in sports betting or casino-style entertainment, which is why sekabet provides session time reminders to help you stay aware of how long you have been playing. You can set a preferred session duration in your account settings, and the platform will notify you when that time has elapsed so you can decide whether to continue or take a break. Taking regular breaks is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits you can build, and we actively encourage it. Research consistently shows that players who take breaks make better decisions and enjoy their gaming experience more. If you notice that you are frequently dismissing time reminders and continuing to play for much longer than intended, it may be worth considering a temporary break or speaking with our support team. Your time is valuable, and we want every session on sekabet to feel like a choice, not a compulsion.
If you feel that you need a break from gaming, sekabet offers both short-term cool-off periods and longer self-exclusion options that you can activate at any time through your account or by contacting our support team. A cool-off period temporarily restricts your ability to deposit or place bets for a set number of days, giving you space to reset without permanently closing your account. Self-exclusion is a more serious step that blocks access to your account for an extended period — from several months up to a permanent exclusion — and is recommended for players who feel their gaming has become difficult to control. During any self-exclusion period, you will not receive any marketing communications from us, and our system will prevent you from logging in. We will not attempt to persuade you to end your exclusion early, and any request to lift a self-exclusion before the agreed period ends will be subject to a mandatory reflection period. Choosing to self-exclude is a courageous and responsible decision, and we will support you through the process with no judgement.
Understanding your own gaming patterns is a key part of staying in control, and sekabet makes it easy to review your full activity history at any time from within your account. You can see a detailed record of your deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and session durations, giving you a clear and honest picture of how you are engaging with the platform. We believe that transparency about your own behaviour is one of the most powerful tools for responsible gaming, and we have designed our account dashboard to make this information easy to find and understand. If you notice patterns that concern you — such as increasing deposit amounts, longer sessions, or chasing losses — we encourage you to take action early rather than waiting until the situation feels out of control. You can also use this history to set more informed limits for yourself going forward. Our support team can help you interpret your activity data and suggest appropriate next steps if you are unsure what to do.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, you do not have to face it alone — help is available both through sekabet and through dedicated support organisations in the Philippines. Our customer support team is trained to handle responsible gaming concerns with sensitivity and confidentiality, and you can reach us at any time through the contact details on our platform. For professional counselling and support, we encourage Filipino players to reach out to organisations such as the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) responsible gaming helpline, which provides free and confidential assistance. Problem gambling is a recognised health concern, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. We also recommend speaking with a trusted family member or friend if you feel comfortable doing so, as social support plays an important role in recovery. Remember that gaming should always be a source of enjoyment — if it stops feeling that way, please reach out for help without delay.
Problem gambling can develop gradually. These are some of the warning signs that it may be time to take a step back and seek support.
Placing more bets to try to win back money you have already lost is one of the clearest signs of problem gambling behaviour. If you find yourself doing this regularly, it is time to pause and reflect.
Using money set aside for rent, food, bills, or other essentials to fund your gaming is a serious warning sign. Gaming should only ever be funded from your discretionary entertainment budget.
If thoughts about betting are keeping you awake at night, or if you are staying up late to play when you should be resting, your gaming habits may be affecting your overall health and wellbeing.
Choosing to spend time gaming instead of with family or friends, or hiding your gaming activity from people close to you, can be a sign that it has taken on an unhealthy level of importance in your life.
Experiencing strong negative emotions — such as anxiety, irritability, or restlessness — when you are not able to play, or after a losing session, may indicate that gaming is affecting your mental health.
If you have tried to cut back or stop gaming but found it difficult or impossible to do so, this is a strong indicator that professional support may be beneficial. You do not have to manage this alone.
