21+ Responsible Gaming
Promoting 21+ Responsible Gaming at SGMC (also known as SABONG GRANDMASTER CUP)
Introduction
At SGMC, responsible gaming is a cornerstone of our commitment to our players and the broader community. Understanding the importance of maintaining a safe and healthy gaming environment, SGMC strictly adheres to a 21+ policy, ensuring that all players meet the age requirement for gambling. This policy is part of a broader responsible gaming initiative designed to prevent underage gambling and promote responsible behavior among our patrons.
Importance of 21+ Gaming
The 21+ age requirement is more than just a legal formality; it's a commitment to ethical gaming practices. It ensures that:
Maturity: Players have the necessary maturity to make informed decisions about gambling.
Financial Responsibility: Players are more likely to have established financial responsibility.
Legal Compliance: SGMC complies with local and international laws regarding gambling, which often stipulate a minimum age of 21.
How SGMC Enforces 21+ Gaming
Strict Verification Processes: During the registration process, all players must provide valid identification that confirms their age. This could include a passport, driver’s license, or another government-issued ID.
Regular Audits: SGMC conducts regular audits and checks to ensure that the information provided by players is accurate and that no underage users are accessing the services.
Training for Staff: All customer service and compliance staff undergo thorough training to recognize signs of problem gambling and underage gambling. They are equipped to take appropriate action if they suspect that someone under the age of 21 is using the platform.
Supporting Responsible Gaming
Beyond enforcing a 21+ policy, SGMC supports responsible gaming through several additional measures:
Self-Exclusion and Cooling Off: Players can opt for self-exclusion periods during which they cannot access their accounts, or cooling-off periods that temporarily restrict their gaming activities.
Deposit Limits: Players can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control their spending and ensure they are gambling within their financial means.
Awareness Campaigns: SGMC actively participates in and sponsors campaigns aimed at promoting responsible gaming and providing information on the risks associated with gambling.
Educational Resources
SGMC provides players with educational resources about the risks of gambling, how to gamble responsibly, and where to seek help if they feel they have a problem. This includes links to organizations that offer support and counseling for gambling addiction.

At SGMC, the promotion of 21+ responsible gaming is a reflection of our dedication to a safe, ethical, and enjoyable gaming environment. By implementing strict age verification, offering tools for responsible gaming, and providing educational resources, we aim to ensure that all our players can enjoy our platform in a responsible and lawful manner.
