// Safe Play Commitment
spitime believes that gambling should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress, financial harm, or personal crisis. Our responsible gaming program gives every Filipino player the tools, information, and support they need to stay in control.
// Our Commitment
At spitime, we are more than just the Philippines' premier online casino and sports betting destination. We are a platform that takes player wellbeing seriously. Responsible gaming is not a checkbox for us — it is woven into the fabric of every feature we build and every policy we enforce.
We know that for the vast majority of players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the archipelago, spitime is a fun way to unwind — whether that means spinning slots after a long day at work, joining a bingo session with friends, or catching a live sports bet on the PBA or NBA. That is exactly what spitime is designed for: controlled, enjoyable entertainment.
But we also acknowledge that for a small number of players, gambling can stop being fun and start becoming a problem. When that happens, spitime wants to be part of the solution — not the problem. That is why we have invested in a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that are always free, always accessible, and always effective.
Golden Rule: Never gamble with money reserved for rent, food, tuition, or daily household expenses. Set a budget before you play, and stick to it no matter what happens on the screen.
// Player Protection Tools
Every spitime account comes equipped with a full suite of responsible gaming controls. These tools are built into your account settings and can be activated at any time — no waiting period, no hidden fees, no questions asked.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your spitime account. Once your limit is reached, the platform will automatically block further deposits until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Configure a maximum session duration for your spitime gameplay. When your set time is up, the platform will display a prominent alert and log you out automatically. You can also enable a reality check that pops up every 30, 60, or 90 minutes to show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered.
Need a short break from spitime without fully closing your account? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account is temporarily suspended — you cannot log in, place bets, or make deposits. Your balance is safely held and remains accessible after the period ends.
Self-exclusion is spitime's most powerful responsible gaming tool. When you self-exclude, your account is permanently suspended for a minimum period of 6 months — up to 5 years or permanently. During self-exclusion, spitime will also remove you from all marketing communications. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires.
Beyond deposit limits, spitime allows you to set a maximum loss threshold for any given day, week, or month. If your net losses reach the configured limit, gameplay is paused for the rest of that period. This is especially useful for players who prefer to set guardrails based on outcomes rather than just inflows.
spitime's responsible gaming hub links directly to PAGCOR's problem gambling resources and other Philippine-based mental health and financial counselling services. If our support team detects patterns of concern in a player's activity, they are trained to proactively reach out and provide guidance in a non-judgmental, supportive way.
// Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or experience level. In the Philippines, it is estimated that a significant percentage of regular gamblers may exhibit some signs of problematic behaviour at some point. Recognising the warning signs early is the most important step toward getting back in control.
The warning signs below are not a formal medical diagnosis — they are practical indicators drawn from internationally recognised problem gambling assessment frameworks. If several of these resonate with your own experience, we strongly encourage you to use spitime's responsible gaming tools or seek support.
If gambling is affecting your relationships, finances, or mental health, please reach out. spitime's support team is available 24/7 and will connect you with appropriate resources without judgment.
// Self-Check
Answer these questions honestly to get a clearer picture of your current relationship with gambling. This is not a clinical tool — it is a personal check-in based on globally recognised responsible gaming frameworks.
If you answer "Yes" to three or more of the following questions, we encourage you to activate spitime's self-exclusion tool or contact our support team for a confidential conversation.
Have you ever gambled with more money than you could comfortably afford to lose — money that was meant for household expenses, bills, or savings?
Have you ever tried to win back money you had already lost by depositing more and continuing to play — a behaviour commonly known as "chasing losses"?
Have family members, close friends, or a partner ever expressed concern or worry about how much time or money you spend on gambling?
Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from people close to you — for example, clearing your transaction history or opening a separate digital wallet they do not know about?
Do you frequently find yourself thinking about gambling when you are not playing — for example, planning your next session during work hours or finding it difficult to concentrate on other things?
Have you ever borrowed money — from friends, family, or a lending platform — specifically to fund gambling deposits, or sold personal belongings to cover gambling-related debts?
When you have tried to cut back on or stop gambling in the past, did you feel irritable, anxious, restless, or emotionally unsettled — similar to withdrawal feelings?
Have you ever neglected work responsibilities, missed family events, or prioritised gambling over other important aspects of your life in a way that you later regretted?
Remember: Three or more "Yes" answers is a signal worth taking seriously. spitime's responsible gaming tools are always available inside your account settings — free of charge, effective immediately, and completely confidential.

// Age Policy
Under Philippine law, participation in casino-style gambling is restricted to individuals aged 21 years and above. spitime enforces this requirement rigorously through a mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process that every new player must complete before making their first deposit or placing any bet.
During the KYC process, you will be required to submit a valid Philippine government-issued identification document that clearly shows your date of birth. Accepted documents include the Philippine National ID, Passport, SSS ID, PhilHealth ID, and Driver's License. Accounts that cannot be verified as belonging to a person aged 21 or older will be permanently closed and any deposited funds returned.
spitime takes underage gambling extremely seriously. If you suspect that a minor is using spitime, please report it immediately to [email protected]. We will investigate and act on all verified reports without delay.
Parents & Guardians: We strongly encourage the use of device-level parental controls and internet content filters to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. If you share a device with a younger family member, ensure your spitime account is always logged out when not in use.
// Regulatory Context
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is the primary regulatory authority overseeing online gaming and casino operations in the Philippines. PAGCOR has established responsible gaming standards that all licensed operators are required to follow, covering player protection measures, advertising standards, and problem gambling support programs.
spitime aligns its responsible gaming policies with PAGCOR's framework. This includes enforcing the 21+ age restriction, providing self-exclusion tools, displaying responsible gaming messaging prominently, and training our support team to handle problem gambling situations with care and competence.
PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources include the Problem Gambling Helpline, financial counselling referrals, and self-exclusion registry coordination across licensed platforms in the Philippines. Players who self-exclude on spitime may also wish to contact PAGCOR directly to be registered on the national exclusion database, which covers all PAGCOR-licensed establishments.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: For more information on PAGCOR's player protection programs, visit the official PAGCOR website or contact their responsible gaming hotline. spitime support can provide you with current contact details upon request at [email protected].
PAGCOR operates a dedicated problem gambling hotline for Filipino players who need immediate support or guidance.
Register with PAGCOR's national self-exclusion program to be barred from all licensed gambling venues and platforms in the Philippines.
// Healthy Habits
These practical habits can help you enjoy spitime as the entertainment platform it is meant to be — without letting gambling affect other areas of your life.
Treat your spitime balance the same way you treat your budget for movies, concerts, or dining out. Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending purely for entertainment this week — and once it is gone, it is gone. Never dip into savings or bill money.
Before you start any gaming session on spitime, set an alarm on your phone for your intended play time — whether that is 30 minutes or two hours. When the alarm goes off, log out. No extensions. This simple habit prevents sessions from stretching on unintentionally.
If you have had a tough week, received bad news, or are feeling emotionally low, gambling is not the answer. Playing while stressed, anxious, or depressed significantly increases the risk of poor decision-making and problem gambling behaviour. Take a break and return when you are in a clear headspace.
Every casino game has a built-in house edge — that is how gaming platforms work. Losses are a normal, expected part of the experience. Never view a loss as a debt you need to repay by depositing more. The moment you start chasing losses is the moment gambling stops being entertainment.
Step away from the screen regularly — grab a glass of water, stretch, or chat with someone. Long, unbroken gaming sessions impair judgment and make it harder to stick to your budget. spitime's reality check alerts are designed to prompt these breaks automatically.
If you feel your gambling is getting out of hand, share it with a trusted friend or family member. Simply talking about it out loud can break the cycle of secrecy that often makes problem gambling worse. You do not have to handle it alone — spitime support is also here to listen.
// Play Smart, Play Safe
Responsible gaming is not about limiting your fun — it is about protecting it. Use spitime's tools, know your limits, and explore everything our platform has to offer with confidence and peace of mind.
