Important Notice: Gambling is intended for entertainment purposes only. It carries financial risk and can become addictive. arenaliv strongly encourages all players to set personal limits and to seek help if gambling stops being fun. If you are under 21 years of age, you are not permitted to use this Platform.

01 Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At arenaliv, responsible gaming is not just a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We believe that every Filipino player deserves a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment. That means giving you the tools to stay in control, the information to make informed decisions, and the support to get help when you need it.

arenaliv operates in compliance with the regulations set by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), which includes strict requirements around player protection, age verification, and responsible gaming practices. We take these obligations seriously, and we go beyond the minimum requirements wherever we can.

Our responsible gaming framework covers four key areas: prevention (stopping problem gambling before it starts), protection (safeguarding vulnerable players), intervention (identifying and responding to at-risk behaviour), and support (connecting players with professional help). Every feature on this page is part of that framework.

02 Strict 21+ Age Policy

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, participation in casino-style gambling is restricted to individuals who are 21 years of age or older. arenaliv enforces this requirement rigorously through a multi-step verification process.

How We Verify Age

  • All new players are required to provide a valid, government-issued Philippine ID during the KYC (Know Your Customer) process — this includes the PhilSys National ID, passport, SSS ID, or driver's licence;
  • Date of birth is cross-checked against the submitted ID document;
  • Accounts where age cannot be verified are suspended pending document submission;
  • Any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and all funds returned to the verified account holder or guardian.

Protecting Minors

arenaliv urges parents and guardians to take active steps to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms. We recommend using parental control software on shared devices, keeping account credentials private, and having open conversations with young people about the risks of gambling. If you suspect a minor has accessed an arenaliv account, contact us immediately at [email protected].

03 Recognising Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of income, background, or how long they have been playing. The earlier it is recognised, the easier it is to address. Here are some common warning signs to watch out for in yourself or someone you care about:

  • Spending more money on gambling than you can afford to lose;
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have lost;
  • Gambling to escape stress, anxiety, loneliness, or other emotional difficulties;
  • Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling;
  • Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gambling;
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling;
  • Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gambling;
  • Repeatedly failing to stick to limits you set for yourself;
  • Thinking about gambling constantly, even when doing other things.

If any of these signs sound familiar, please take the self-assessment below and consider using arenaliv's player tools or reaching out for professional support.

04 Quick Self-Assessment

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to use arenaliv's responsible gaming tools or speak to a professional counsellor.

Question 1

Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?

Question 2

Have you tried to win back money you lost by gambling more — and ended up losing even more?

Question 3

Have you ever felt the need to hide your gambling activity from family members or close friends?

Question 4

Has gambling ever caused you to miss work, school, or important family events in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or wherever you are based?

Question 5

Do you feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to gamble?

Question 6

Have you borrowed money or sold personal belongings to fund your gambling?

This self-assessment is for informational purposes only and is not a clinical diagnosis. If you are concerned about your gambling behaviour, please contact a qualified professional.

05 arenaliv Player Protection Tools

arenaliv provides a suite of responsible gaming tools that are available to all registered players at any time through the account settings panel. These tools are designed to help you stay in control of your gaming activity — before a problem develops.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but increases take 24 hours to take effect.

Loss Limits

Cap the total amount you are willing to lose within a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, your account is automatically paused for the remainder of that period so you cannot continue playing.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, arenaliv will display a reminder and, if you choose, automatically log you out. This helps prevent extended play sessions that can lead to impulsive decisions.

Cool-Off Period

Take a short break from gambling by activating a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account remains open but you cannot place bets or make deposits.

Activity Statements

Request a full statement of your gaming activity, including total deposits, withdrawals, bets placed, and net wins or losses over any period. Seeing the full picture helps you make informed decisions.

Marketing Opt-Out

Opt out of all promotional communications, bonus offers, and marketing messages at any time. Removing the temptation of promotions is a simple but effective step toward more controlled play.

06 Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available to players who feel their gambling has become a problem. When you self-exclude from arenaliv, your account is fully suspended for the duration you choose — you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets.

How Self-Exclusion Works at arenaliv

1
Request Self-Exclusion

Contact the arenaliv support team at [email protected] and request self-exclusion. Specify the duration: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent. You can also initiate this through your account settings panel.

2
Immediate Account Suspension

Your account will be suspended within 24 hours of your request being confirmed. All pending bonuses and promotional offers will be cancelled. Any remaining balance will be returned to your verified withdrawal method.

3
Marketing Blackout

arenaliv will immediately remove you from all marketing lists. You will not receive any promotional emails, SMS messages, or push notifications during your self-exclusion period.

4
Reinstatement Process

After your self-exclusion period ends, reinstatement is not automatic. You must submit a written request and complete a 7-day cooling-off period before your account can be reactivated. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.

arenaliv also encourages players who self-exclude to consider registering with the PAGCOR Self-Exclusion Program, which covers all PAGCOR-licensed gaming establishments and platforms across the Philippines. Contact PAGCOR directly for more information on their national self-exclusion registry.

07 Tips for Safe and Enjoyable Play

Responsible gaming starts with good habits. Here are some practical tips that arenaliv recommends to all players — whether you are a first-timer in Quezon City or a seasoned player in Makati:

  • 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 chase losses — if you have reached your budget for the day, stop. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses;
  • Take regular breaks — step away from the screen every hour. Use arenaliv's session timer to remind yourself;
  • Do not gamble under the influence — alcohol and other substances impair judgment and lead to riskier decisions;
  • Keep gambling separate from your finances — never use money set aside for rent, groceries, utilities, or your children's education;
  • Balance gambling with other activities — maintain hobbies, social connections, and physical activity outside of gaming;
  • Be honest with yourself — if gambling stops being fun and starts feeling like an obligation or an escape, that is a signal to pause and reassess;
  • Talk to someone you trust — sharing your concerns with a family member or close friend can make a big difference.
