21+ Only — Play Responsibly

Responsible Gaming at marathonbet

At marathonbet, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to enjoy our platform responsibly — and to step back when it stops being enjoyable.

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

Gaming That Stays Fun

marathonbet is more than just an online casino and sports betting platform — we are a responsible operator that genuinely cares about the well-being of every player in the Philippines. Whether you're spinning slots in Makati, playing bingo in Cebu, or betting on the PBA from Davao, we want your experience to remain positive and in control.

Problem gambling is a real concern, and we take it seriously. That's why marathonbet has built a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the platform — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how we operate. We align with PAGCOR's player protection guidelines and the National Council on Problem Gambling's recommended practices.

Remember: gambling should be treated as entertainment, not as a way to earn income or recover financial losses. Set a budget, stick to it, and always play within your means. If you ever feel like gambling is no longer fun, marathonbet's responsible gaming tools are here to help you take a break.

Age Restriction: marathonbet strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement for all players in the Philippines, in compliance with PAGCOR regulations. We conduct identity verification on all accounts and do not knowingly permit minors to access the Platform. If you suspect a minor is using marathonbet, please contact our support team immediately.

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use our responsible gaming tools or seek support.

1

Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?

2

Do you gamble to escape stress, anxiety, or personal problems?

3

Have you tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult?

4

Do you chase losses — betting more to try to win back what you've lost?

5

Has gambling affected your relationships, work, or financial stability?

6

Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to reduce or stop gambling?

If you answered yes to any of the above, please explore the tools below or contact our support team. You are not alone — help is available.


Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

marathonbet provides these tools free of charge to all registered players. Access them anytime from your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit into your marathonbet account. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping your gambling budget under control.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. Once your limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. This helps prevent extended play sessions that can lead to fatigue-driven decisions. You can configure session limits from your account settings at any time.

Reality Checks

Enable periodic on-screen notifications that display your session duration and net wagering activity. Reality checks appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — giving you a clear picture of how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered, so you can make informed decisions.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a short break from the Platform without permanently closing your account. You can set a cooling-off period of 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. This is ideal if you feel you need a temporary pause to reassess your gaming habits.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary (6 months, 1 year) or permanent self-exclusion from marathonbet at any time. During the exclusion period, your account will be suspended and you will not receive any marketing communications. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed. Contact our support team to activate this option immediately.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss threshold for a given period. Once your loss limit is reached, you will be prevented from placing further bets until the period resets. Like deposit limits, reductions apply immediately while increases require a cooling-off period. Loss limits are a powerful safeguard against chasing losses.


How to Request Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is one of the most important responsible gaming tools available at marathonbet. If you feel that gambling is negatively affecting your life, we strongly encourage you to use it. The process is straightforward and takes effect immediately upon confirmation.

During any self-exclusion period, marathonbet will also suppress all marketing communications to your registered email and mobile number. We take this commitment seriously — your well-being comes before any commercial consideration.

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone, regardless of age, income, or background. Recognizing the warning signs early is the first step toward getting help.

Personal Warning Signs
1

Spending more time and money on gambling than you intended, and feeling unable to stop even when you want to.

2

Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting bills and basic needs in order to fund gambling activity.

3

Feeling anxious, irritable, or depressed when not gambling, or using gambling as a way to cope with negative emotions.

4

Lying to family members, friends, or employers about the extent of your gambling activity or financial losses.

5

Repeatedly chasing losses — continuing to bet in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost.

Signs in Someone You Know
1

Unexplained financial difficulties — asking to borrow money frequently, missing loan payments, or sudden changes in spending habits.

2

Withdrawal from family and social activities, becoming secretive about how they spend their time or money.

3

Noticeable mood swings — unusually elated after a win, or deeply distressed and irritable after a loss.

4

Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities in favor of gambling, or frequently missing commitments without explanation.

5

Talking obsessively about gambling wins, strategies, or upcoming bets — making gambling a central focus of daily conversation.

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun

These practical habits can help you maintain a healthy relationship with gambling on marathonbet — and keep it enjoyable for the long term.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending — and treat it as the cost of entertainment, not an investment. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, including rent, bills, or savings.

Take Regular Breaks

Step away from the screen regularly. Long, uninterrupted sessions can cloud your judgment and lead to impulsive decisions. Use marathonbet's session time limit and reality check features to remind yourself to pause.

Play for Fun, Not Profit

Gambling outcomes are based on chance. Treat every session as entertainment — like watching a movie or going out for dinner. Winning is a bonus, not a guarantee. Never rely on gambling as a source of income.

Never Chase Your Losses

One of the most common traps in gambling is trying to win back money you've already lost. This mindset leads to bigger losses and greater distress. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, log out and come back another time.
