Strictly 21 and Above — No Exceptions

Under PAGCOR regulations governing online casino and sports betting operations in the Philippines, all players must be at least 21 years of age to register and play on areplus. This is not just a platform rule — it is a legal requirement. areplus enforces strict multi-layered age verification at registration and at the point of first withdrawal. Any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended, all funds returned, and the incident reported to PAGCOR. If you are a parent or guardian, please use parental control tools on your devices to prevent minors from accessing the areplus platform.

Our Commitment

How areplus Keeps You Protected

Six pillars of responsible gaming that guide everything we do at areplus

Age Verification

Every new areplus account goes through a mandatory KYC process that verifies age and identity using a government-issued Philippine ID. No player under 21 is permitted to wager real money on areplus — ever.

Deposit Limits

areplus players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from their account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased without a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period.

Session Time Limits

Losing track of time is easy when you're in the zone. areplus lets you set a maximum session duration. When your limit is reached, you'll receive a reminder and the option to take a break — no pressure, no guilt.

Cool-Off Periods

If you feel you need a short break from gaming, areplus offers cool-off periods of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off period your account is temporarily suspended from placing bets and making deposits.

Self-Exclusion

areplus offers a permanent or long-term self-exclusion option for players who feel they need to stop gambling altogether. Self-exclusion can be requested for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently — at no cost.

Reality Checks

areplus sends periodic reality check notifications during active gaming sessions that show how long you've been playing and your net win/loss position. These are designed to help you make informed decisions about continuing play.

Player Protection Tools

Self-Exclusion and Limit Controls

areplus provides a full suite of self-management tools that put you in control of your gambling behaviour. All tools are accessible directly from your areplus account dashboard under the "Responsible Gaming" section, available anytime — day or night.

Self-exclusion at areplus is taken seriously. Once a self-exclusion request is submitted, it is processed within one hour. During the exclusion period, the areplus account is locked for deposits, bets, and logins. Promotional communications are also stopped immediately. You cannot reverse a self-exclusion during the minimum exclusion period — this is intentional and is part of the protection the tool provides.

areplus also participates in the PAGCOR responsible gaming programme. Filipino players who wish to self-exclude across multiple licensed operators can register with the PAGCOR centralised self-exclusion database, which flags excluded players across all participating platforms in the Philippines.

How to Request Self-Exclusion: Log in to your areplus account and navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Self-Exclusion. Select your preferred exclusion duration and confirm. You can also request self-exclusion by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request".

Common Questions

Responsible Gaming FAQs

Quick answers to the questions areplus players ask most about safe play

PAGCOR, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, sets the legal minimum gambling age for casino-style gaming in the Philippines at 21 years old. This applies to all PAGCOR-licensed operators, including areplus. The higher minimum age is intended to provide additional protection for young adults in the Philippines, given the risks associated with problem gambling at a formative stage of life.

You can request self-exclusion by logging into your areplus account, going to Account Settings, and selecting the Responsible Gaming tab. From there, choose the Self-Exclusion option and select your preferred duration (6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent). Alternatively, you can email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and our team will process it within one hour. Self-exclusion is free and takes effect immediately upon processing.

No. Self-exclusion at areplus is intentionally irrevocable during the minimum exclusion period. This is a feature, not a limitation — it ensures that the tool provides genuine protection when you need it most. For exclusions of 6 months to 3 years, reactivation requests can only be submitted after the minimum period has expired and are subject to a mandatory 7-day reflection period. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.

Any real-money balance remaining in your areplus account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to your verified withdrawal method — GCash, PayMaya, or your linked Philippine bank account. Bonus balances that have not yet met wagering requirements will be forfeited in accordance with the areplus Bonus Terms. Withdrawal of your real-money balance will be processed within the standard processing timeframe.

The Philippines has several resources available for players who may be experiencing problem gambling. PAGCOR operates a responsible gaming programme that provides guidance and support. Gamblers Anonymous Philippines has groups operating in Metro Manila, Cebu, and other major cities across the country. The Department of Health's mental health hotlines can also provide referrals to licensed counsellors. areplus encourages any player who is struggling to seek professional support — your wellbeing comes before any game.

Yes. areplus participates in the PAGCOR responsible gaming compliance framework and shares self-exclusion data with the PAGCOR centralised registry as required by our operating licence. This means that a self-exclusion filed with areplus may be reflected across other PAGCOR-licensed online gaming operators in the Philippines, providing broader protection for players who choose to exclude themselves from gaming activity.
