Responsible Gaming at hiyabet

At hiyabet, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. Our responsible gaming program gives every Filipino player the tools and knowledge to enjoy the platform wisely — and to get help when they need it.

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.
Important Notice — Adults 21 and Above Only

hiyabet is strictly for players aged 21 years and older, in accordance with PAGCOR regulations governing online gaming in the Philippines. If you are under 21, you are not permitted to register or play on this platform. If you suspect a minor is using hiyabet, please contact our support team immediately.

Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Escape

hiyabet is more than just a gaming platform — it is a community of Filipino players who love the thrill of slots, bingo, and instant-win games. But we also know that for some players, what starts as fun can become a problem. That is why responsible gaming is not just a policy at hiyabet — it is a core part of how we operate every single day.

Our responsible gaming framework is built in compliance with PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) regulations and draws on internationally recognized best practices for player protection. Whether you are a casual player in Makati enjoying a few rounds of bingo after work, or a regular slots enthusiast in Cebu, hiyabet gives you the tools to stay in control.

The key principle is simple: you set the limits, and hiyabet enforces them. From deposit caps to session time reminders to full self-exclusion, every tool on this page is designed to keep your gaming experience positive and within your personal boundaries.

Responsible gaming is a shared responsibility. hiyabet provides the tools and information — but the most important step is yours. If you ever feel that gambling is affecting your finances, relationships, or mental health, please use the resources on this page or reach out to our support team.

Age Restriction Policy

Strictly enforced under PAGCOR regulations

Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations require that all online casino-style gaming platforms restrict access to adults aged 21 years and above. hiyabet enforces this through:

  • Mandatory date-of-birth verification during registration
  • Government-issued ID verification (KYC) before first withdrawal
  • Automatic account suspension if age verification fails
  • Parental controls guidance for households with minors

Providing false age information during registration is a violation of hiyabet's Terms & Conditions and may result in permanent account closure and forfeiture of funds.

Tools to Keep You in Control

hiyabet gives every registered player access to a full suite of responsible gaming tools — available directly from your account settings, no waiting required.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your hiyabet account per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 24-hour cooling-off period.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, hiyabet will display a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. Time flies when you're playing — this tool makes sure you stay aware of how long you've been at it.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing in a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, hiyabet will prevent further wagering until the limit period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gaming budget under control.

Cool-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period, your account remains open but you cannot place any bets or make deposits. It's a useful reset when you feel like you need a breather.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, hiyabet offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications from hiyabet.

Reality Check & History

View your full gaming history — sessions played, amounts wagered, wins and losses — at any time from your account dashboard. Transparency about your own activity is the first step toward informed, responsible play.

How to Self-Exclude on hiyabet

Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and hiyabet treats it as such. Once activated, your exclusion cannot be reversed until the chosen period has fully elapsed. Here is how to set it up:

1
Log In to Your Account

Sign in to your hiyabet account using your registered credentials. Make sure you are on the official hiyabet platform.

2
Go to Responsible Gaming Settings

Navigate to your Account Settings and select the "Responsible Gaming" section from the menu.

3
Choose Self-Exclusion

Select "Self-Exclusion" and choose your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent.

4
Confirm Your Decision

Review the terms of your self-exclusion and confirm. You will receive an email confirmation and your account will be suspended immediately.

5
Contact Support if Needed

If you need assistance activating self-exclusion or have questions, contact our support team at [email protected] — we will help you set it up right away.

Available Limit Types

hiyabet's limit system covers every major dimension of your gaming activity. All limits can be set or adjusted from your account dashboard.

Daily Deposit

Cap how much you can add to your account each day

Weekly Deposit

Set a rolling 7-day deposit ceiling

Monthly Deposit

Control your total monthly funding amount

Loss Limit

Stop play automatically when losses hit your threshold

Session Time

Get reminded or logged out after a set play duration

Wager Limit

Limit the total amount you can bet per session or day

Pro tip: Set your limits before you start playing — not after a losing streak. Limits set in advance are more effective because they reflect your rational, considered judgment rather than an emotional reaction.

Is Gambling Becoming a Problem?

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The earlier it is recognized, the easier it is to address. hiyabet encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves using the questions below.

If you answer "yes" to three or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to use hiyabet's self-exclusion tools and reach out to a professional support organization.

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop. There is no shame in asking for help. Thousands of Filipinos seek support for problem gambling every year, and recovery is absolutely possible.

Ask yourself honestly:
Chasing losses Do you find yourself gambling more to try to win back money you have lost?
Spending beyond your means Have you gambled with money meant for rent, bills, food, or other essentials?
Hiding your gambling Do you conceal how much time or money you spend on gaming from family or friends?
Unable to stop Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult or impossible?
Neglecting responsibilities Has gambling caused you to miss work, school, or important family commitments?
Borrowing to gamble Have you borrowed money from friends, family, or lenders specifically to fund gambling?
Mood dependency Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling?
Gambling to cope Do you turn to gambling to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems?
