🛡️ sabete is committed to responsible gaming. Must be 21 years or older to play. If gaming stops being fun, we're here to help.
At sabete, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never stress, never hardship. Our responsible gaming program gives every Filipino player the tools, knowledge, and support they need to stay in control and enjoy the game the right way.
For most of our members across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and Makati, sabete is a fun way to unwind — a few rounds of slots after work, a bingo session on the weekend, or catching the live casino action during a PBA game. And that's exactly what it should be.
But sabete also recognises that for some players, gaming can become a problem. Problem gambling is a real concern, and we take it seriously. That's why we've built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that puts player welfare at the center of everything we do — not as a legal checkbox, but as a genuine commitment to the Filipino gaming community.
Our responsible gaming tools are available to every sabete member, free of charge, at any time. You don't need to be in crisis to use them — many of our members use deposit limits and session reminders simply as good habits to keep their gaming enjoyable and within budget.
Remember: Gambling should never be used as a way to earn income, recover financial losses, or escape personal problems. If you ever feel that your gaming is getting out of hand, sabete's support team is available 24/7 to help.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use sabete's responsible gaming tools or seek support.
Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned, or more than you can comfortably afford?
Do you find yourself chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've already lost?
Has gaming started to affect your relationships, work, studies, or daily responsibilities?
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop gaming?
Have you borrowed money, sold belongings, or used funds meant for bills or family needs to fund your gaming?
Do you hide your gaming activity from family members or close friends?
If you answered yes to any of the above, please contact our support team or use the self-exclusion tool in your sabete account settings. You are not alone, and help is available.
Every sabete member has access to these tools directly from their account settings. No waiting, no approval needed — just log in and take control of your gaming experience.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your sabete account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits take effect immediately when reduced.
Define the maximum amount you're comfortable losing in a given period. When your loss limit is reached, sabete will automatically restrict further play until the limit period expires.
Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, sabete will notify you and, if you choose, automatically log you out. A great way to keep gaming sessions short and enjoyable.
Receive periodic pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered during your current session. A gentle nudge to stay aware of your gaming activity.
Take a short break from gaming — 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account remains open but gaming and deposits are suspended. No questions asked.
Request a temporary or permanent self-exclusion from the sabete platform. Once activated, your account is immediately suspended and cannot be reopened during the exclusion period. Contact our support team to activate.
All responsible gaming tools are available free of charge to every sabete member. To access them, log in to your sabete account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming. Our support team is also available 24/7 to help you set up any of these tools.
Self-exclusion is one of the most powerful tools available to players who feel they need a break from gaming. At sabete, we make the process straightforward and immediate. Here's how it works:
Reach out to our 24/7 support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Let them know you'd like to activate self-exclusion and specify your preferred duration.
Select from a temporary exclusion (30 days, 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year) or a permanent exclusion. Permanent exclusions cannot be reversed. Temporary exclusions cannot be shortened once activated.
Your sabete account is suspended immediately upon confirmation. All pending bonuses are forfeited. Any remaining balance will be returned to your GCash or PayMaya account within 3–5 business days.
sabete will immediately remove you from all promotional and marketing communications for the duration of your exclusion. You will not receive bonus offers, game notifications, or re-engagement messages.
When your exclusion period ends, you may request account reinstatement. sabete will conduct a brief welfare check before reactivating your account to ensure you are ready to return to gaming responsibly.
Under PAGCOR regulations, online gaming in the Philippines is strictly restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. sabete enforces this requirement rigorously through a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process for every new member.
During registration, all sabete members are required to submit a valid government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, SSS ID, UMID, driver's license, or PhilSys national ID — to confirm their identity and age. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a person aged 21 or above will be permanently closed and any deposited funds returned.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has accessed the sabete platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and take immediate action.
sabete strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement in compliance with PAGCOR guidelines. Underage gambling is illegal in the Philippines and will not be tolerated on the sabete platform under any circumstances.
Responsible gaming at sabete isn't just a policy document — it's a living commitment built into every part of our platform and team culture.
sabete is designed for fun. Every feature, every game, and every promotion is built with the understanding that gaming is entertainment — not a financial strategy or a way to solve problems.
Our responsible gaming team actively monitors player behaviour patterns for signs of problem gambling. If we notice concerning activity, we will reach out proactively — because we care about our members' wellbeing.
sabete provides clear, honest information about how games work, the odds involved, and the risks of gambling. Informed players make better decisions — and that's good for everyone.
Our support team is trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with empathy and without judgment. Whether you need to set a limit or request exclusion, we're here to help — not to question your choices.
sabete operates in alignment with PAGCOR's responsible gaming guidelines. Our policies are regularly reviewed to ensure they meet or exceed the standards set by Philippine gaming regulators.
We recognise that problem gambling affects not just the individual but their whole family. sabete supports community awareness and encourages open conversations about healthy gaming habits among Filipino families.
