Tools That Put You in Control

rabet provides practical features so you can set boundaries that match your lifestyle and budget — all accessible directly from your account.

Deposit Limits

You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap directly from your account settings. Once your chosen limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. This helps you stay within a budget you are comfortable with and prevents impulsive top-ups during a losing streak. Limits can be lowered at any time and take effect immediately, while requests to raise a limit include a mandatory cooling-off period to encourage thoughtful decision-making.

Session Time Reminders

Long gaming sessions can pass quickly without you noticing. rabet lets you set a session duration reminder so you receive a notification when you have been playing for a set amount of time. This gentle prompt encourages you to take a break, check in with yourself, and decide whether you want to continue. Regular breaks are one of the simplest and most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable rather than compulsive.

Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gaming, you can activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to place bets or make deposits. This feature is ideal for players who want a brief pause without permanently closing their account. The cooling-off period activates immediately upon request and cannot be reversed until the chosen duration has elapsed.

Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to close your account for a minimum of six months or permanently. Once self-exclusion is activated, your account is locked and you will not be able to register a new account during the exclusion period. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly. If you are struggling with problem gambling, self-exclusion is a meaningful step toward regaining control of your gaming habits.

Activity History

Your account dashboard gives you a clear view of your betting history, deposit and withdrawal records, and total time spent on the platform. Reviewing your activity regularly is a healthy habit that helps you stay aware of your spending patterns and gaming frequency. Transparency about your own behaviour is one of the most powerful tools for responsible play. If you notice patterns that concern you, our support team is always available to help you explore your options.

Reality Checks

Reality check notifications can be enabled to display a brief summary of your current session — including time played and net result — at regular intervals you choose. These pop-ups are designed to keep you grounded and informed while you play, without interrupting your experience unnecessarily. Staying aware of how long you have been playing and how your balance has moved helps you make more conscious decisions about whether to continue or step away.

Recognising When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Knowing the warning signs early makes it easier to take action before things escalate.

Gaming is meant to be a form of entertainment, and for the vast majority of players in the Philippines it remains exactly that. However, for some individuals, gambling can shift from a leisure activity into something that causes real harm to their finances, relationships, and mental health. It is important to be honest with yourself about how gaming fits into your life and whether it is starting to take up more space than you intended.

Common warning signs to watch out for include:

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can comfortably afford.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
  • Feeling irritable, anxious, or restless when you are not able to play.
  • Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gaming activity.
  • Lying to friends or family about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
  • Using gaming as a way to escape from stress, depression, or personal problems.

If any of these signs feel familiar, please do not hesitate to reach out for support. You can use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools in your rabet account, or contact one of the professional organisations listed below. Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness, and there are people in the Philippines who are ready to assist you.

Where to Get Help in the Philippines

If you or someone you know needs support with problem gambling, these organisations offer confidential assistance.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a responsible gaming programme that provides guidance and referral services for players who are experiencing difficulties related to gambling. PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework is designed to protect Filipino players and promote a safe gaming environment across all licensed platforms. You can find more information through official PAGCOR channels or by contacting their player assistance desk directly.

National Center for Mental Health

The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) in the Philippines provides mental health services and crisis intervention for individuals dealing with a range of issues, including gambling-related stress and addiction. Their crisis hotline is available to anyone in the Philippines who needs immediate emotional support or guidance. Reaching out to a mental health professional is a positive and courageous step, and the NCMH team is trained to help without judgement.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other in order to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling disorder. Meetings are held regularly across the Philippines and provide a confidential, non-judgemental space for anyone who feels their gambling has become unmanageable. Peer support from people who truly understand what you are going through can be an incredibly powerful part of the recovery process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to what Filipino players most often ask about responsible gaming on rabet.

You can set a deposit limit by logging into your account and navigating to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings. From there, you can choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit that suits your budget. The limit takes effect immediately once you save your preference. If you wish to lower your limit, the change is applied right away. Requests to increase a limit are subject to a mandatory review period to ensure the decision is considered rather than impulsive. If you need help finding the setting, our support team is happy to guide you through the process.

Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and your account will remain locked for the full duration of the exclusion period you selected. For time-limited exclusions, you may submit a request to reopen your account after the exclusion period has fully elapsed, and there is a mandatory reflection period before reinstatement is processed. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. We strongly encourage players who have chosen self-exclusion to also seek support from one of the professional organisations listed on this page, as account-level tools work best alongside broader personal support.

Yes — you must be at least 21 years old to register and play on rabet, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We verify the age and identity of all players during the registration and withdrawal process. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended and all funds returned. We take our obligation to prevent underage gambling very seriously, and we encourage parents and guardians to use device-level parental controls to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms.

If you are concerned about a family member's gambling behaviour, the most important thing you can do is approach the conversation with empathy and without judgement. Let them know you are worried and that support is available. You can also contact organisations such as Gamblers Anonymous Philippines or the National Center for Mental Health for advice on how to help someone close to you. If the person in question has an account on rabet, you may contact our support team to discuss the situation confidentially. We are committed to working with families as well as individual players to promote safe and responsible gaming across the Philippines.
