Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment

At Arenap, we believe that online gaming is one of the most exciting forms of entertainment available to Filipino players today — from the thrill of Boat of Fortune to the strategy of 3-Hand Casino Hold'em. But we also know that for some people, gaming can become more than just fun. Problem gambling is a real issue, and Arenap takes its responsibility to players seriously.

That's why we've built a full suite of responsible gaming tools directly into the Arenap platform. Whether you're in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere else in the Philippines, you have access to deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods, and full self-exclusion — all free of charge, all available from your account settings.

Responsible gaming at Arenap isn't just a checkbox — it's a core part of how we operate. We train our support team to recognize signs of problem gambling, we enforce strict age verification, and we work within the framework set by Philippine gaming regulations to ensure our platform remains a safe space for every player.

21+

Strictly 21 and Above Only

Under Philippine law and Arenap's platform rules, you must be at least 21 years old to register, deposit, and play. Age verification is mandatory for all accounts. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds returned.

Gambling Involves Financial Risk
Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose. Gaming should be funded from your disposable income only — not from savings, loans, or money set aside for rent, food, or family needs.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provides responsible gaming guidelines and resources for Filipino players. Arenap operates in alignment with PAGCOR's player protection framework.

How Arenap Keeps You In Control

Every responsible gaming tool on Arenap is free, easy to access, and takes effect immediately. No waiting periods, no fees, no judgment.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your Arenap account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 7-day cooling period to protect you from impulsive decisions.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so Arenap automatically reminds you — or logs you out — when you've been playing for too long. Regular breaks help you stay sharp, keep perspective, and make sure gaming stays enjoyable rather than compulsive.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account is suspended from gameplay and deposits. This is ideal if you feel your gaming habits are getting out of hand but you're not ready for a full self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, Arenap's self-exclusion tool lets you close your account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period — this is by design, to give you genuine protection when you need it most.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose in a given period. When your net losses reach that threshold, Arenap will prevent further gameplay until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to enjoy the games without risking more than they planned.

24/7 Support

Arenap's customer support team is available around the clock to assist with responsible gaming concerns. Whether you need help activating a tool, have questions about your account, or just need someone to talk to about your gaming habits, our team is here — no judgment, just help.

How to Activate Protection Tools

All responsible gaming tools are built directly into your Arenap account. Here's how to access them:

1

2
Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. This is where all your personal preferences and responsible gaming tools are managed.

Signs You May Have a Problem

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, age, or how long you've been playing. Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, it may be time to use one of Arenap's responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.

1
Do you spend more money on gaming than you originally planned?
2
Do you chase losses — continuing to play to try to win back money you've lost?
3
Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gaming?
4
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut back or stop playing?
5
Has gaming caused problems with your family, friends, or work?
6
Do you hide your gaming activity from people close to you?
7
Do you think about gaming constantly, even when you're not playing?
8
Have you tried to stop or cut back on gaming but found you couldn't?
If you answered yes to 2 or more: Please consider activating a cooling-off period or self-exclusion on your Arenap account, and reach out to a professional counselor for support.

Tips for Responsible Play

Most Arenap players enjoy gaming as a fun, controlled activity. Here are the habits that keep it that way:

Decide how much you're willing to spend before you open any game. Treat it like a night out — once the budget is gone, the session is over. Never dip into money set aside for rent, utilities, GCash load, or family expenses.

Decide how long you'll play before you start. Use Arenap's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically. Taking regular breaks — even just 10 minutes every hour — helps you stay clear-headed and in control.

Chasing losses is one of the most common signs of problem gambling. If you've hit your loss limit for the day, stop — no matter how tempting it is to "win it back." The odds don't change because you've already lost.

Treat any winnings as a bonus, not an income. Arenap's games — from Limbo to Cannon Fishing — are designed for entertainment. The house always has an edge over the long run, so approach every session as a form of paid entertainment, not an investment strategy.

If gaming is causing stress in your life, talk to a family member, a close friend, or a professional counselor. In the Philippines, you can reach out to mental health professionals through the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) hotline. You don't have to deal with it alone.

Avoid playing when you're drunk, emotionally distressed, or exhausted. Impaired judgment leads to poor decisions and higher risk of overspending. If you're not in the right headspace, log out and come back another time.
