How Self-Exclusion Works on bidaph

Self-exclusion is a powerful tool for players who recognize they need to stop gambling for an extended period. When you activate self-exclusion on bidaph, the following actions take place immediately:

• Your bidaph account is permanently closed for the duration you selected (6 months or 1 year minimum).
• You will be unable to log in, deposit funds, or place any bets during the self-exclusion period.
• Any pending withdrawals are processed and paid out to your registered payment method within the standard processing time.
• Bonus credits and loyalty points are forfeited upon self-exclusion activation.
• Your personal information is flagged in the bidaph system to prevent the creation of new accounts using the same name, date of birth, or payment method.
• You will stop receiving promotional emails, SMS, and marketing communications from bidaph immediately.
• Self-exclusion cannot be reversed, shortened, or canceled until the chosen period expires. No exceptions are made, even if you request early reinstatem ent.

To activate self-exclusion, go to your account dashboard, select "Responsible Gaming," then choose "Self-Exclusion." You may also request self-exclusion directly through Live Chat, and our Player Welfare Team will process it immediately on your behalf.

Playing Responsibly – Tips for a Healthy Gaming Habit

The vast majority of bidaph players in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the Philippines enjoy online gaming as a form of entertainment without developing harmful habits. Here are practical tips to keep gaming fun and within healthy boundaries:

• Set a budget before you play — Decide how much you're comfortable spending and treat it like an entertainment expense, the same way you would a dinner out or a movie. Never gamble with rent money, bills money, or funds earmarked for essential needs.
• Accept that losses are part of the game — No gaming strategy guarantees consistent wins. Every game on bidaph is powered by certified RNG software with published Return to Player percentages. Chasing losses is one of the most common paths to problem gambling.
• Take regular breaks — Use bidaph's session time reminders to prompt yourself to step away, stretch, eat, and hydrate. Long uninterrupted sessions cloud judgment and fuel impulsive decisions.
• Never gamble under the influence — Alcohol and other substances impair decision-making. Avoid playing bidaph games when you are not fully alert and in control.
• Don't borrow to gamble — Using GCash credit, loan apps, or borrowed money from friends or family to fund gambling is a significant warning sign. If you find yourself considering this, please contact our Player Welfare Team immediately.
• Balance gaming with other activities — Online gaming should be one of many leisure activities, not your primary one. Maintain hobbies, social connections, and physical activities alongside your gaming.
• Talk openly about your gaming — Share your gaming activity with a trusted family member or friend. Transparency is one of the best natural safeguards against excessive gambling.

Protecting Minors on bidaph

bidaph strictly prohibits access by anyone under 21 years of age, in line with PAGCOR regulations. We use a multi-layered approach to prevent minors from accessing the platform:

• Date of birth is collected at registration and verified against a valid Philippine government-issued ID during the KYC process.
• Accounts that cannot pass age verification are permanently closed before any gaming activity is allowed.
• Payment methods linked to verified minors are flagged and blocked from use on the bidaph platform.
• bidaph encourages parents and guardians to use parental control software to restrict access to online gaming sites on shared devices at home.
• If you suspect a minor has created a bidaph account using false information, please report it immediately via Live Chat so our compliance team can investigate and take corrective action.

Parents and guardians who are concerned about children accessing gambling content online can use third-party parental control tools available for all major operating systems, browsers, and mobile devices. Many of these tools allow you to block specific website categories, including online gaming and gambling platforms.
