Play responsibly 路 21+
Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming for Filipino players: the 21+ rule, practical limits, warning signs of problem gambling, self-exclusion and free help lines in the Philippines.
Our promise
Gaming should be entertainment, never a way to earn money or escape problems. If it stops being fun, stop playing.
The basics
- You must be 21 or older to gamble in the Philippines.
- Only play with money left after bills, savings and essentials.
- Never borrow, use loan apps or pawn items to play.
- Set deposit and time limits before you start. Our budget planner shows how.
- Don't chase losses. Every bet is independent.
Warning signs
- Spending more time or money than planned
- Hiding gaming from family
- Feeling anxious, guilty or irritable about gaming
- Neglecting work, school or relationships
Free help in the Philippines

- PAGCOR: responsible gaming and exclusion programs
- Gamblers Anonymous and BeGambleAware: online self-assessment and support
Tools that help
Use account deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion, and lower your e-wallet limits (see the payments guide). Decline bonuses whose turnover would push you past your limits (see the bonus guide).
Protect minors
Keep devices locked, don't share accounts, and use parental controls. No one under 21 should access gaming sites.
