Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At hypebet, we believe that online gaming is one of the most exciting forms of entertainment available to Filipino players today. Whether you're spinning the reels on your favorite slot, joining a live bingo session, or trying your luck at the Color Game, the experience should always be enjoyable — and never harmful.

Responsible gaming is not just a policy for us. It's a core part of how hypebet operates. We take our duty of care seriously, and we've built a range of tools and safeguards into our platform specifically to help players in the Philippines stay in control of their gaming activity at all times.

We understand that for some players, what starts as entertainment can sometimes become a problem. That's why hypebet proactively provides resources, limits, and support systems — so you always have the power to manage your own experience. Kung may concern ka, we're here to help. No judgment, just support.

21+ Age Restriction — Strictly Enforced

In the Philippines, the legal minimum age for participating in casino-style gambling is 21 years old. hypebet strictly enforces this requirement across all games and services on our platform.

All new players are required to complete our Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process before they can deposit funds or play real-money games. This includes submitting a valid government-issued ID — such as a Philippine passport, driver's license, or national ID — to confirm your age and identity.

  • Players under 21 years of age are strictly prohibited from registering or playing on hypebet.
  • Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended and all funds returned.
  • We use automated age verification tools as part of our onboarding process.
  • Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software to prevent underage access to gambling sites.

Know the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. The first step to getting help is recognizing the warning signs. hypebet encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves and be honest about their gaming habits.

Ask Yourself These Questions

Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford?

Do you find yourself chasing losses — betting more to try to win back what you've lost?

Has gaming started to affect your relationships with family, friends, or your work?

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop playing?

Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming activity?

Do you hide your gaming activity from the people close to you?

Do you think about gambling even when you're doing other things?

If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use our responsible gaming tools or reach out to a support organization. There is no shame in asking for help — it takes courage.

hypebet Responsible Gaming Tools

hypebet provides a comprehensive set of responsible gaming tools that are available to all registered players. These tools are designed to give you full control over your gaming activity. You can access them anytime through your account settings.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine Peso (₱) to control how much you fund your account. Limits take effect immediately when reduced.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so you're automatically reminded — or logged out — after a set period of play. Great for keeping gaming sessions healthy.

Loss Limits

Cap the maximum amount you can lose within a given time period. Once your loss limit is reached, you won't be able to place further bets until the period resets.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals showing how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered — keeping you grounded and aware.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from gaming by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Your account is temporarily restricted during this time.

Self-Exclusion

Permanently or temporarily exclude yourself from hypebet. This is our most powerful tool for players who need a serious break from gaming activity.

How to Self-Exclude on hypebet

Self-exclusion is a formal process that restricts your access to hypebet for a defined period — or permanently. Once activated, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. We take self-exclusion requests very seriously and process them promptly.

1
Log In to Your Account

Access your hypebet account and navigate to the Account Settings section from your profile dashboard.

2
Go to Responsible Gaming Settings

Find the "Responsible Gaming" tab within your account settings. All limit and exclusion tools are located here.

3
Select Self-Exclusion

Choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Read the terms carefully before confirming.

4
Confirm Your Request

Confirm your self-exclusion request. You will receive an email confirmation. The exclusion takes effect within 24 hours of your request.

5
Contact Support if Needed

If you need assistance with self-exclusion or cannot access your account, contact our support team directly at [email protected] and we will process your request manually.

Important Note on Self-Exclusion

Once a self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed before the chosen period expires. During your exclusion period, hypebet will not send you any promotional emails or bonus offers. Any remaining balance in your account will be held securely and returned to you upon request after the exclusion period ends.

If you attempt to open a new account during your self-exclusion period, it will be closed immediately and any deposits refunded. Please also consider reaching out to PAGCOR's responsible gaming program for additional support during your exclusion period.

Deposit & Betting Limit Options

The following table outlines the types of limits available to hypebet players. All limits are set in Philippine Peso (₱) and can be adjusted at any time through your account settings. Reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling period before they apply.

Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Gaming

Responsible gaming starts with good habits. Here are some practical tips that hypebet recommends to all Filipino players to keep gaming fun and within healthy boundaries:

  • Set a budget before you play. Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you log in — and stick to it. Think of it like your entertainment budget for the week, similar to going out in BGC or Eastwood.
  • Never chase your losses. If you've hit your limit for the day, log out and come back another time. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every hour or so. Grab a snack, stretch, or chat with someone. Gaming is more enjoyable when you're refreshed.
  • Don't play when you're stressed or emotional. Gaming under emotional pressure leads to poor decisions. Play when you're in a good headspace and playing for fun.
  • Keep gaming separate from your finances. Never use money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or your family's needs to fund your gaming. Use only disposable income.
  • Use our built-in tools. Set deposit limits, session timers, and reality check reminders through your hypebet account settings — they're there for a reason.
  • Talk to someone you trust. If gaming is starting to feel like a problem, don't keep it to yourself. Talk to a family member, a close friend, or a professional counselor.
