AP33’s Approach to Responsible Gambling: Putting People Before Profits

Graphic showing a red stop sign with a hand and the words "Responsible Gambling" surrounded by playing cards and poker chips — representing AP33's ethical gaming stance.

At AP33, we believe that being a leader in iGaming isn’t just about technology or market growth — it’s about doing what’s right. That’s why we’ve taken a firm stand on responsible gambling and ethical advertising, especially when it comes to protecting young people and vulnerable communities.

While some operators still plaster their logos across football kits and stadiums — even during games that kids are watching — AP33 is going in a different direction.

No Logos Where Kids Might See Them

You might’ve seen brands like 1xBet on televised matches or Net88 sponsoring football jerseys. Sure, these ads may be legal in some countries, but they’re still showing up in places where underage viewers can see them.

At AP33, we’ve made a clear promise:

❌ “You won’t see our branding on sports jerseys, mainstream broadcasts, or anywhere that’s accessible to minors.”

Instead, we only show up where it makes sense: 18+ verified platforms, influencer content with age restrictions, and digital campaigns that are specifically gated for adult audiences.

In regions like Malaysia, the Philippines, and across Asia, the digital sports audience is young and growing fast. That’s why we’re extra careful about where and how we advertise.

We make sure our messaging:

  • Respects each country’s legal gambling age
  • Avoids family-friendly media channels
  • Stays fully compliant with local regulations
