Our Commitment to Safe Play

arena takes responsible gaming seriously — here is what that means for every player on our platform.

Set Your Own Deposit Limits

You can set daily, weekly, or monthly PHP deposit limits directly from your account settings. These limits helpyou stay within a budget that is comfortable for you. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period. This ensures your spending stays predictable and within your means at all times.

Take a Break Anytime

If you feel you need time away from gaming, arena offers a self-exclusion feature that lets you pause your account for a chosen period. During this time, you will not be able to log in or place any bets. We encourage every Filipino player to use this tool without hesitation whenever they feel it is needed.

Session Time Reminders

Losing track of time is easy when you are enjoying your favourite games. arena provides optional session time reminders so you receive a notification after a set period of play. These gentle alerts help you stay aware of how long you have been gaming and make it easier to step away at the right moment.

Permanent Self-Exclusion

For players who decide they need a longer-term break, permanent self-exclusion is available on request. Once activated, this option closes your account and prevents re-registration for an extended period. Our support team handles all such requests with full confidentiality and without judgement.

Under-21 Protection

arena strictly enforces the minimum gaming age of 21 years in the Philippines. All accounts require age verification before any real-money play is permitted. If we suspect an account belongs to a minor, it is suspended immediately and all funds are returned pending review.

Reach Out for Support

Our support team is available around the clock to assist any player who has concerns about their gaming behaviour. Whether you need help setting limits, understanding your options, or simply want to talk, we are here. You can also visit our FAQ page for quick answers to common responsible gaming questions.

Recognise the Warning Signs

Problem gambling can affect anyone. Knowing the signs early makes it easier to seek help before things escalate.

Problem gambling is not always obvious, and it can develop gradually over time. arena encourages all Filipino players to regularly reflect on their gaming habits and to be honest with themselves about how gaming fits into their daily life. If gaming is causing stress, financial strain, or affecting your relationships, it may be time to seek support. The following signs may indicate that gaming has become a problem worth addressing.

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can comfortably afford.
  • Chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play.
  • Neglecting work, family, or personal responsibilities because of time spent gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gaming activity.
  • Lying to friends or family members about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
  • Using gaming as a way to escape from stress, anxiety, depression, or other personal problems.
