At bet20, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, financial strain, or harm. This page is your guide to playing safely, understanding the warning signs of problem gambling, and accessing the tools we've built to keep you in control.
Our Commitment
bet20 takes responsible gaming seriously — not just as a regulatory requirement, but as a genuine commitment to every Filipino player on our platform. Whether you're spinning slots from Makati, playing bingo in Cebu, or joining a live table from Davao, we want your experience at bet20 to be enjoyable, safe, and within your means.
Gambling is a form of entertainment. Like any form of entertainment, it works best when it's done in moderation, with a clear head, and with money you can afford to spend. The moment it starts feeling like an obligation, a way to recover losses, or a source of anxiety — that's when it's time to step back and use the tools we've made available to you.
bet20 is fully committed to the responsible gaming standards applicable in the Philippines. We enforce a strict 21+ age policy across all games and services on the platform. We actively monitor player behaviour for signs of problem gambling and will reach out proactively where we have concerns. We also provide a full suite of self-management tools — all free, all accessible directly from your account settings — so you can stay in control at all times.
If you ever feel that your gambling is getting out of hand, please don't hesitate to use our self-exclusion tool or contact our support team. There is no shame in asking for help — and at bet20, we will always take your request seriously and act on it immediately.
Tools & Controls
All of these tools are available free of charge to every registered bet20 player. Access them anytime through your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your bet20 account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. You can lower your limit at any time — increases take effect after a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Decide in advance how long you want to play in a single session. When your time is up, bet20 will display a clear notification reminding you that your session limit has been reached. You can choose to stop or extend — but the reminder is always there to keep you aware of how long you've been playing.
Need a short break without fully closing your account? A cool-off period lets you pause your bet20 account for a set number of days — from 1 day up to 6 weeks. During this time, you won't be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. It's a great option if you feel you need a breather but aren't ready for a longer exclusion.
Self-exclusion is our most powerful responsible gaming tool. When you self-exclude, your bet20 account is suspended for a minimum period of 6 months, up to a permanent exclusion. During this time, you cannot access the platform, and bet20 will not send you any promotional communications. Contact our support team to activate self-exclusion immediately — no waiting period applies.
Set a maximum amount you're comfortable losing over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is reached, bet20 will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets. This tool helps you stay within a budget you've decided on in advance — before emotions come into play during a losing streak.
Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered in the current session. Reality checks are a simple but effective way to stay grounded — it's easy to lose track of time when you're in the middle of a game, and these gentle nudges help you stay aware and in control.
Step by Step
Setting up your responsible gaming controls on bet20 takes less than two minutes. All tools are built directly into your account — no need to contact support unless you want to activate self-exclusion, which our team will process immediately upon request.
Remember: lowering a limit takes effect instantly. Increasing a limit or removing a cool-off period requires a mandatory 24-hour review period — this is intentional, to protect you from making impulsive decisions in the heat of the moment.
Need help right now? Our 24/7 support team is always available via live chat on the bet20 platform. For self-exclusion requests, our team will act on your request immediately — no delays, no questions asked.
Head to the bet20 platform and log in using your registered email and password. All responsible gaming tools are accessible from your personal account dashboard — no separate portal needed.
Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. From there, navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" tab to see all available tools.
Select the tool you want to activate — deposit limit, loss limit, session time limit, reality check, or cool-off period. Enter your preferred values and confirm. Changes that reduce your limits take effect immediately.
Self-exclusion is handled directly by our support team to ensure it is processed correctly and immediately. Start a live chat session and tell the agent you want to self-exclude. They will confirm the duration and activate the exclusion on the spot — your account will be suspended within minutes.
Your circumstances and gaming habits can change over time. We recommend reviewing your responsible gaming settings at least once a month to make sure your limits still reflect your current situation and budget.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. Recognising the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following sound familiar, please reach out to our support team or use our self-exclusion tool.
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've already lost — often leading to even bigger losses and a cycle that's hard to break.
Regularly spending more time gambling than you intended, or finding that hours have passed without you noticing while playing on the bet20 platform.
Spending money on gambling that was set aside for rent, bills, groceries, or other essential expenses — or borrowing money specifically to fund gambling.
Withdrawing from family, friends, or social activities in favour of gambling, or lying to loved ones about how much time or money you're spending on games.
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties — rather than as a form of entertainment enjoyed in a positive state of mind.
Repeatedly trying to cut back or stop gambling but finding yourself unable to do so — or feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you're not gambling.
Self-Assessment
This is not a clinical diagnostic tool — it's a simple self-check to help you reflect on your gambling habits. If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or speak to a professional.
Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for something else — like bills, food, or savings?
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently — planning your next session or reliving past wins?
Have you ever lied to family members or friends about how much you gamble or how much you've lost?
Has gambling ever caused problems in your relationships, at work, or with your finances?
Do you gamble to escape from stress, loneliness, boredom, or other negative feelings?
After losing, do you feel a strong urge to return as soon as possible to try to win your money back?
You are not alone. Problem gambling is a recognised condition that affects many people across the Philippines. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. bet20's support team is available 24/7, and our self-exclusion tool can be activated immediately at no cost.
Age Verification
Under Philippine law, online casino-style gambling is restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. bet20 enforces this requirement strictly and without exception. Every player who registers an account on the bet20 platform is required to verify their age and identity before they can make a deposit or place a bet.
Our Know Your Customer (KYC) process requires players to submit a valid government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, driver's licence, or PhilSys national ID — before their account is fully activated. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately suspended and all funds returned.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a minor in your household has accessed the bet20 platform, please contact our support team immediately. We take underage gambling extremely seriously and will investigate and act on all such reports without delay.
Tips for parents and guardians
Use password protection and parental controls on shared devices to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms.
Keep your bet20 login credentials private. Never share your username, password, or account access with anyone, including family members under 21.
Have honest conversations with young people in your household about the risks of gambling and why the 21+ age restriction exists.
If you suspect a minor has accessed bet20, contact our support team immediately. We will investigate and take action right away.
Further Support
bet20 is committed to responsible gaming, but we also recognise that professional support is sometimes needed. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates responsible gaming programmes and resources for Filipino players who may be experiencing gambling-related harm. We encourage any player who is struggling to seek help from qualified professionals.
PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework includes player protection measures, self-exclusion registries, and referral pathways to counselling services. If you are a bet20 player who has self-excluded and you want to ensure your exclusion is registered more broadly, we recommend contacting PAGCOR directly for information on their national self-exclusion programme.
In addition to PAGCOR resources, Filipino players can seek support from mental health professionals and counselling services available in major cities including Manila, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao, and Makati. If gambling is affecting your mental health, please reach out to a qualified counsellor or psychologist.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provides responsible gaming resources and player protection programmes for Filipino gamblers.
