Player Wellbeing

Responsible Gaming at scatter

Gaming is meant to be fun. scatter provides tools, guidance, and support to help every Filipino player stay in control, set limits, and keep their experience enjoyable — not stressful.

21+ scatter is strictly for players aged 21 and above. No exceptions.

Stay in Control

These tools are available to every registered player. Use them whenever you feel you need a boundary.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit into your scatter account. Once set, the limit activates immediately and cannot be increased without a cooling-off period.

Loss Limits

Put a ceiling on how much you are comfortable losing within a set timeframe. If you reach your loss limit, scatter will stop you from placing further bets until the period resets.

Session Time Reminders

scatter can remind you when you have been playing for a certain amount of time. It is easy to lose track — a gentle reminder helps you make a conscious decision about continuing.

Take a Break

Need a short pause? Activate a temporary break on your account — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During this time, you cannot log in or place bets on scatter.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel you need a longer break, self-exclusion closes your account for an extended period of your choosing. To request self-exclusion, contact support at [email protected].

Reality Checks

Reality check notifications pop up at regular intervals during your session, showing you how long you have been playing and your net activity for that session.


Gaming as Entertainment, Not Income

At scatter, we want every player from Manila to Davao to have a genuinely enjoyable time. Slots, live casino, fish games, and sports betting are all forms of entertainment — they carry real risk, and no outcome is ever guaranteed. That is something we want to be very clear about from the start.

The odds in every game are designed so that the house has a long-run mathematical edge. That does not mean you cannot win — many players do — but it does mean you should never rely on gaming as a source of income, and you should never bet money that you cannot afford to lose.

The golden rule: Only play with your entertainment budget. Treat the amount you put into scatter the same way you would treat the money you spend on a movie, a meal out, or a night of karaoke with friends — money set aside for fun, not money you need for rent, groceries, or bills.

Signs That Gaming May Be Becoming a Problem

Problem gaming can develop gradually. It is worth checking in with yourself regularly — especially if you find that gaming has started to occupy more of your time, money, or mental energy than you intended. Here are some warning signs to be aware of:

  • Chasing losses — placing more bets to try to recover money you have lost
  • Spending more than your planned budget on a regular basis
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not gaming
  • Borrowing money to fund gaming activity
  • Hiding your gaming from family members or close friends
  • Neglecting work, school, or personal responsibilities because of gaming
  • Gaming to escape stress, problems, or negative feelings
  • Continuing to play even when you have set a firm intention to stop

If several of these apply to you, it does not mean you have a serious problem — but it is a signal worth taking seriously. The earlier you address it, the easier it is to manage.

Remember: No gaming strategy, betting system, or "hot streak" changes the underlying odds. There is no guaranteed way to win at online gaming. Anyone promising otherwise is not being honest with you.

Tips for Playing Responsibly on scatter

  • Set a budget before you start. Decide how much you are comfortable spending in a session and stick to it. Use the deposit limit tool to enforce this automatically.
  • Set a time limit. Gaming can be absorbing. Decide in advance how long you will play and use the session time reminder to keep you honest.
  • Never chase your losses. If your session has not gone well, closing the app and walking away is the best decision you can make. Chasing losses almost always makes things worse.
  • Take regular breaks. Even during a winning session, regular breaks help you stay clear-headed and make better decisions.
  • Keep gaming separate from alcohol or substances. Playing under the influence impairs judgement and can lead to decisions you would not make sober.
  • Balance gaming with other activities. If scatter is the only thing you do for fun, that is worth reflecting on. A healthy entertainment life has variety in it.
  • Talk to someone you trust. If you are concerned about your gaming, talking to a friend, family member, or professional is a brave and positive step.

Protecting Young People

scatter is only for adults aged 21 and above. We take this seriously. All accounts are subject to age verification (KYC), and accounts that cannot verify the age requirement will be restricted and closed.

If you share a device with younger family members — including teenagers — please ensure that your scatter account is always logged out when not in use, and that your password and OTP are not accessible to others. Parental control software on shared devices is an additional layer of protection worth considering.

If you believe a person under 21 has opened or is using a scatter account, contact us immediately at [email protected]. We will investigate and act without delay.

What to Do If You Need Help

If you are concerned that gaming is affecting your life or the life of someone you care about, please do not wait to reach out. scatter's support team can assist you with activating self-exclusion, setting account limits, or answering any questions about our responsible gaming tools.

Contact us directly at [email protected] and include "Responsible Gaming" in your subject line for priority handling. We respond with genuine care and without judgement.

Outside of scatter, speaking to a mental health professional, counsellor, or trusted community figure in your area — whether in Manila, Cebu, Quezon City, or Davao — is always a valid and encouraged step. Your wellbeing matters more than any bet.

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer honestly. If you find yourself saying yes to several of these, it is worth taking a closer look at your gaming habits.

Q1

Do you often spend more money gaming than you planned to?

Q2

Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?

Q3

Do you feel restless or irritable when trying to cut back or stop playing?

Q4

Have you missed work, school, or family obligations because of gaming?

Q5

Do you return to gaming the day after a loss to try to win it back?

If you answered yes to two or more questions, consider activating limits or reaching out to our support team.

Responsible Gaming FAQ

Answers to what players most often ask about staying safe on scatter.

Deposit limits can be configured in your account settings after logging in. Choose a daily, weekly, or monthly limit in Philippine Peso. The limit takes effect immediately, and any reduction you make takes effect straight away. An increase to a limit requires a waiting period before it becomes active, giving you time to reconsider.

Self-exclusion is a voluntary restriction that closes your scatter account for a defined period — this can range from weeks to an indefinitely longer period depending on your needs. During self-exclusion you cannot log in, make deposits, or place bets. To request it, email [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request" and our team will process it as a priority.

Yes. Any remaining real-money balance in your account at the time of self-exclusion can be withdrawn. Bonus funds that have not met their applicable terms may be forfeited. Contact [email protected] to coordinate the withdrawal process alongside your exclusion request.

No. All registrations go through age verification as part of scatter's KYC process. Accounts that cannot confirm a player is 21 or older will be restricted and closed. If you suspect that a minor has managed to create an account, please notify us at [email protected] immediately.

The "Take a Break" feature is designed for exactly this. You can pause your account for a defined period — from 24 hours to several weeks — without going through full self-exclusion. During your break, you cannot log in or place bets. When the break period ends, your account returns to normal automatically.

No, and anyone claiming otherwise is misleading you. All games on scatter carry inherent risk. Slots, live casino tables, fish games, and sports betting all have outcomes that are uncertain. The house has a long-run mathematical advantage in all casino-style games. Play for entertainment — never rely on gaming as a source of income or to solve financial problems.
