Responsible Gaming
at bidget
bidget is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming environment for every Filipino player. We believe gambling should always be entertainment — never a financial burden or source of distress. This page outlines the tools, policies, and support resources we provide to keep play responsible.
Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Problem
At bidget, responsible gaming isn't just a regulatory checkbox — it's a genuine part of how we run our platform for Filipino players from Manila to Davao and everywhere in between. We understand that for the vast majority of players, online casino games, bingo, slots, and sports betting are simply a fun way to spend leisure time. But we also know that for some people, gambling can become problematic, and we take that seriously.
bidget provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly inside your account settings — including deposit limits, session time reminders, cooling-off periods, and permanent self-exclusion. We also work closely with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and support recognised Filipino and international organisations that help players who are struggling with gambling-related issues.
If you ever feel that your gambling is getting out of hand, or if someone you know is showing signs of problem gambling, please make use of the tools and resources on this page. Our support team is available 24/7, and we will always treat your situation with complete confidentiality and respect.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming: bidget operates under a PAGCOR license and follows all PAGCOR-mandated responsible gaming standards. PAGCOR's own responsible gaming resources and helpline information are available through official PAGCOR channels. We encourage players who need additional regulatory support to reach out to PAGCOR directly.
Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit
Every bidget account comes equipped with these responsible gaming tools. You can activate or adjust any of them at any time through your account settings — no waiting period to turn them on.
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are allowed to deposit over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once you hit your limit, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Increases to your limit take 7 days to take effect — reductions apply immediately.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration so that bidget will alert you — and optionally log you out — when you have been playing for a set amount of time. Regular reminders keep you aware of how long you have been on the platform.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a short break from bidget — 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, your account is suspended and you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. This is ideal for players who feel they need a brief pause.
RecommendedSelf-Exclusion
For players who need a longer break, bidget offers self-exclusion periods of 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or permanent exclusion. Self-exclusion is irreversible for the chosen period and cannot be lifted early under any circumstances.
Strongest ToolLoss Limits
Set a cap on how much you can lose over a day, week, or month. When your net losses reach your set limit, bidget will prevent further wagering until the period ends. This tool helps protect your bankroll and keeps sessions within your means.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic pop-up notifications that show your net gaming activity — how long you have been playing and how much you have won or lost in the current session. Reality checks are a simple but effective way to stay grounded during longer sessions.
How to Activate Self-Exclusion
Activating self-exclusion on bidget takes less than two minutes. Once activated, it cannot be reversed for the chosen period — even if you contact support. This ensures the tool genuinely protects you when you need it most.
Important: Self-exclusion removes your ability to access the bidget platform entirely. Any active bonus balances will be forfeited. Withdrawable real-money balances will be returned to your registered payment method within 3–5 business days.
Log In to Your bidget Account
Access your account via the bidget Login page. Make sure you are using your registered email address and password. If you cannot log in, contact our 24/7 support team via live chat.
Navigate to Responsible Gaming Settings
Go to your Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" tab. All responsible gaming tools — deposit limits, session limits, cooling-off, and self-exclusion — are located in this section.
Select Self-Exclusion and Choose a Period
Click "Self-Exclusion" and select your preferred exclusion period: 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or Permanent. Read the terms of the exclusion carefully before proceeding.
Confirm Your Decision
You will be asked to confirm via a verification code sent to your registered mobile number or email. Once confirmed, your exclusion takes effect immediately and your account is suspended.
Receive Confirmation and Support Resources
bidget will send you a confirmation email and a list of support resources including professional counselling contacts available in the Philippines. Your remaining real-money balance will be processed for withdrawal automatically.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Being aware of the warning signs — in yourself or someone you care about — is the first step toward getting help. If any of the following apply, please reach out.
Chasing Losses — Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, even when it keeps making things worse.
Gambling with Bill Money — Using funds allocated for rent, utilities, food, or other essential expenses to fund gambling sessions.
Lying About Gambling — Hiding the amount of time or money spent gambling from family members, friends, or colleagues.
Unable to Stop — Feeling unable to walk away from a game session even when you intended to stop, or repeatedly failing to stick to limits you set for yourself.
Gambling to Escape Problems — Using gambling as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties.
Neglecting Responsibilities — Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling sessions or preoccupation with gambling.
Borrowing to Gamble — Taking loans, borrowing from family and friends, or using credit to fund gambling activity.
Escalating Bet Sizes — Needing to place increasingly larger bets to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction from gambling.
You are not alone. Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across the Philippines — from Makati professionals to families in Cebu and Davao. Recognising the signs and asking for help is an act of strength, not weakness. bidget's support team and the organisations listed below are here to help, in full confidence.
