Football Betting in the Philippines

MegaSportsWorld (MSW) is committed to endorsing responsible betting as well as promoting the awareness of problem gambling and improving prevention, intervention and treatment. We believe it is our responsibility that our players enjoy their wagering experience, while remaining fully aware of the social and financial harms associated with problem gambling.

EXCLUDED PERSONS

In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the following are prohibited from opening/maintaining an account and placing bets with MSW:

1. Persons under twenty-one (21) years of age or students of any school, college or university in the Philippines;
2.     Government officials connected directly with the operation of the government or any of its agencies and their immediate relatives (parents, spouse and children);
3. Members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (including the Army, Navy and Airforce) and the Philippine National Police;
4. PAGCOR Gaming Employment License (GEL) holders directly or indirectly involved in gaming operations;
5. Persons included in the National Database of Restricted Persons (NDRP);

RESPONSIBLE BETTING

Betting is a form of entertainment and should never place a burden on your life either financially or emotionally. Borrowing money to bet, spending above your budget or using money allocated for other purposes is not only unwise but can lead to significant problems for you and others around you. We want you to enjoy playing with MSW, so bet responsibly and have fun!

MANAGING YOUR PLAY

For players who enjoy gambling frequently, it is not uncommon to spend over their budget sometimes. We advise that specific budget plans be made to ensure your gambling expenditure is affordable. Sometimes people deny the extent of their own problems and seek help only in crisis. Ask yourself honestly and if you think you might have a problem, set yourself the goal of stopping gambling for two weeks or a month as a test. If you are unable to achieve this, you could have a problem and this might affect not only you but also your family, career, and personal life. Please gamble responsibly.
