Gaming at solobet should be fun — a form of entertainment, not a source of stress or financial pressure. This page explains the tools, resources, and commitments solobet has in place to help every Filipino player stay in control of their gaming.
The Foundation
Responsible gaming is a framework — a set of practices, tools, and attitudes that keep online casino entertainment safe and enjoyable. At solobet, we think about responsible gaming not as a regulatory checkbox but as a core part of how the platform is built. Every feature you see in your account, from the cashier to the game lobby, has been designed with player wellbeing in mind.
The reality is that most Filipino players on solobet — from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and beyond — play for entertainment and keep gaming within healthy limits. But we also know that for a small number of people, what starts as occasional fun can develop into a habit that causes real harm. solobet takes that possibility seriously, which is why we give every player access to practical tools to stay in control, and why we make it easy to step back when needed — without judgment, without barriers.
This page is your guide to everything solobet has in place to support responsible gaming. Whether you're just checking your deposit limit options, wondering if your gaming patterns are healthy, or ready to take a break, you'll find the information and tools you need right here.
Player Protection Tools
All six tools are available in your solobet account settings. No need to contact support to activate most of them — they're built directly into the dashboard and take effect immediately.
Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, the cashier will block further deposits until the period resets. Lowering your deposit limit takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit has a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive changes during a session.
Set a cap on how much you're willing to lose within a given period. When your net losses hit the limit you've set, real-money gameplay is paused for the rest of that period. This tool is particularly useful for players who find it hard to stop after a string of losses. Your limit resets automatically at the start of the next period.
Set a reminder to appear at a specific interval during your gaming session — every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or whatever works for you. When the alert triggers, you'll see a pop-up showing how long you've been playing and the option to continue or log out. It's a small nudge that can make a big difference.
Enable periodic reality checks that display your net session result (wins minus losses) at intervals you choose. Seeing a running total of your actual financial outcome — not just the exciting moments — helps maintain perspective during an active session and supports more conscious decision-making about when to continue or stop.
Need a short break without going all the way to self-exclusion? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your solobet account for 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, or up to 6 weeks. During the cooling-off period you cannot log in, deposit, or play. The account resumes automatically when the period ends. No extension requests needed — it's a clean, set-and-forget pause.
Self-exclusion is solobet's strongest responsible gaming tool. You can exclude yourself from the Platform for 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanently. Once activated, the exclusion cannot be reversed for the chosen period — even if you request it. Any winnings accumulated after self-exclusion takes effect are void. This tool is for players who need a firm, enforced boundary.
Strongest Protection
Self-exclusion is a serious, binding decision that locks your solobet account for the period you choose. It is not a cooling-off period or a soft pause — once activated, it cannot be reversed until the exclusion expires.
Self-exclusion is designed for players who recognise that they need a firm, externally enforced boundary. It removes the temptation to "just log back in" during a moment of weakness, because the Platform itself prevents it.
Open solobet on any device and log in with your registered credentials. Self-exclusion can be activated at any time — you do not need to contact support first.
Navigate to your profile icon → Account Settings → Responsible Gaming. Scroll to the Self-Exclusion section at the bottom of the page.
Choose from 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Think carefully — this decision cannot be undone for the period selected. When in doubt, choose a longer period.
An OTP will be sent to your registered Philippine mobile number to confirm the request. This step prevents accidental activations and verifies account ownership.
Your account is locked instantly. You will receive a confirmation email. Any pending withdrawal requests will be processed normally. Remaining real-money balance will be returned to your GCash or payment method on file within 5 business days.

Self-Assessment
Honest self-reflection is the first step. Read through the questions below and consider your answers. This is not a clinical test — it's a personal check-in. Answer truthfully, for yourself.
0 Yes answers: Your gaming appears well-controlled. Keep using solobet's limit tools as a proactive measure.
1–2 Yes answers: Consider setting stricter deposit and loss limits. A cooling-off period may also help reset your habits.
3–4 Yes answers: Your gaming may be developing into a problem. We strongly encourage you to activate self-exclusion and speak with a support professional.
5+ Yes answers: These are strong indicators of problem gambling. Please activate self-exclusion now and reach out for support. You can find resources below and on the PAGCOR responsible gaming page.
Warning Signs
Problem gambling doesn't look the same for everyone. It can develop gradually and quietly. The signs below are commonly associated with gambling disorder — recognising them early is important, whether in yourself or someone you know.
If you recognise several of these signs, please reach out. solobet's support team is available 24/7 via live chat, and we will not judge you for asking for help.
Best Practices
These are practical habits that healthy gamblers share. They're not restrictions — they're the way people who enjoy gaming without it becoming a problem actually play.
Decide how much you can comfortably afford to lose — not how much you want to win — before you open solobet. Treat that amount like you've already spent it on a night out. Whatever you win from it is a bonus.
Chasing losses is the single most common path from recreational gaming to problem gambling. If you've hit your loss limit for the session, close the app. The casino will still be there tomorrow.
Enable session time alerts and use them. Step away from the screen every hour. Grab a merienda, check in with someone you care about, get some fresh air. Gaming is better when it's an interlude, not a marathon.
Emotional stress and alcohol both impair judgment and reduce inhibition. The worst gaming decisions almost always happen in these states. If you've had a rough day or you've been drinking, solobet will still be there when you're clearer-headed.
Gaming should be one small part of a balanced life — not the dominant activity. If you're spending more time gaming than on relationships, rest, work, or physical health, that proportion needs rebalancing.
If you can talk about how much you play with a family member or close friend without feeling embarrassed or defensive, that's a healthy sign. Secrecy around gaming is often the first sign that something needs attention.
This is not a guideline — it is a hard legal requirement enforced at registration and during KYC on every solobet account.
Age Restriction
The minimum age requirement for online casino gaming in the Philippines — consistent with PAGCOR's regulatory framework — is 21 years. solobet enforces this requirement rigorously at every stage of the player journey.
During registration, you are required to declare that you are at least 21 years old. Before any withdrawal can be processed, the solobet KYC team verifies your identity and date of birth using a government-issued Philippine ID. Accounts belonging to individuals under 21 are closed immediately, and play records are voided.
If you're a parent or guardian concerned that a minor may be accessing online gambling platforms, we recommend using parental control software on shared devices and keeping gaming account credentials private.
External Support
solobet's tools are a starting point. If you or someone you know needs more support, the following organisations provide confidential assistance for problem gambling in the Philippines.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the government body that regulates gaming in the Philippines. PAGCOR maintains a responsible gaming programme with resources for players and their families.
To access PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources, visit the PAGCOR official website directly and look for their Player Protection section. solobet recommends Filipino players familiarise themselves with PAGCOR's self-exclusion registry, which covers all PAGCOR-licensed online gaming platforms.
If you're concerned about your gaming and want to talk through your options — whether that's setting limits, taking a break, or self-excluding — our support team is available 24 hours a day via live chat inside your account.
You can also email us at [email protected] with "Responsible Gaming" in the subject line. All responsible gaming requests are handled with full confidentiality and without judgment.
The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in the Philippines provides mental health support and crisis assistance. Problem gambling often involves underlying mental health challenges — professional mental health support can address these alongside gambling-specific help. The NCMH Crisis Hotline operates 24/7.
Gamblers Anonymous (GA) operates peer support groups in the Philippines, including in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. GA meetings provide a confidential, non-judgmental environment where people affected by problem gambling can share their experiences and support each other through recovery. No registration or prior commitment required to attend.
