What is responsible gambling on JILIEVO?

It means treating betting as paid entertainment, using only affordable money and setting deposit, loss and time limits before playing.

What are warning signs of harmful gambling?

Chasing losses, borrowing, hiding play, missing bills, increasing stakes under stress and being unable to stop are reasons to pause and seek help.

How do I request JILIEVO self-exclusion?

Contact account support, request cooling-off or self-exclusion and ask for written confirmation of the duration, accounts covered and treatment of withdrawable funds.

Does PAGCOR offer a separate exclusion program?

Yes. PAGCOR publishes self-exclusion and family-exclusion forms for sites and venues it licenses or operates, including self-exclusion periods of six months, one year or five years.

Where can I get confidential help?

Call PAGCOR’s 24/7 National Problem Gambling Helpline at (02) 8248-9568 or Gamblers Anonymous Philippines at 0915 938 2808.

JILIEVO Responsible Gambling for Philippine Players

Q: Can minors use JILIEVO?

No. JILIEVO terms state 18+, while PAGCOR applies a 21+ rule in establishments it regulates. Follow the higher applicable age and keep account access away from minors.

Gambling on JILIEVO should use only money and time you can afford to lose. If you are chasing losses, hiding bets or struggling to stop, do not deposit again. Take a break and ask for help now.

PAGCOR National Problem Gambling Helpline — available 24/7:

The helpline supports people experiencing gambling harm and affected family members through counseling, crisis triage and treatment referrals. If you or another person is in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

What Responsible Gambling Means on JILIEVO

Responsible play starts before the first bet. Decide the maximum PHP amount and time you will spend, choose a game whose rules you understand and stop when either limit is reached. A bonus, near miss or previous win is never a reason to extend the session.

Casino results are uncertain. Slots use random outcomes, fish-shooter ammunition can miss, live casino side bets carry different probabilities, poker hands can lose despite correct decisions and sports favourites can still be beaten. Gambling is entertainment with a cost—not a salary, investment or way to pay debt.

Age and Eligibility in the Philippines

JILIEVO’s current terms state a minimum age of 18, but Philippine requirements can be higher. PAGCOR’s responsible-gaming rules state that persons under 21 may not play in establishments it regulates. Follow the higher legal or account age that applies to you and complete any requested identity verification honestly.

Never let a minor use your account, payment wallet or device to gamble. Keep passwords and OTPs private, sign out on shared devices and use device-level parental controls when children can access your phone or computer.

Set Limits Before You Deposit

Money limit: Use disposable entertainment money only. Exclude rent, food, tuition, transport, loan payments and emergency savings.
Time limit: Choose an end time before login and set an alarm. Stop even when a promotion, tournament or game round continues.
Loss limit: Decide the maximum acceptable loss for the session. Do not top up through GCash to recover it.
Win point: Decide in advance when you will withdraw or stop. A win can disappear quickly when it is immediately re-bet.

Check your deposit history, betting records and withdrawal activity regularly. Use actual totals rather than memory; frequent small GCash transfers can add up to a larger monthly loss than expected.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

One warning sign is enough to justify a break. Seek help when you notice any of the following:

depositing more than planned or repeatedly increasing the stake;
chasing losses after slots, fish games, live tables, poker or sports bets;
borrowing money, selling belongings or delaying bills to gamble;
hiding deposits, losses or playing time from family;
feeling restless, angry or anxious when unable to bet;
gambling while stressed, depressed, intoxicated or unable to concentrate;
missing work, school, sleep or family responsibilities because of play;
creating another account to avoid a limit, closure or exclusion.

What to Do When Gambling Stops Feeling Controlled

Stop the current session. Do not place one final bet or make another deposit.
Move remaining funds out. Withdraw eligible cash balance where possible and avoid re-betting it.
Tell someone you trust. Ask a family member or friend to help you protect money and reduce access to gambling.
Request account restrictions. Contact JILIEVO support for a cooling-off period or self-exclusion.
Contact professional or peer support. Call the national helpline or Gamblers Anonymous Philippines.

JILIEVO Cooling-Off and Self-Exclusion

Ask JILIEVO account support to apply a cooling-off period or self-exclusion before you place another bet. State the restriction you want and ask for written confirmation of the start date, duration, accounts covered and handling of any withdrawable balance.

Do not create a new account or use another person’s account during exclusion. Remove saved passwords, uninstall gambling apps, block marketing messages and ask your bank or e-wallet provider whether gambling-payment controls are available.

PAGCOR Self-Exclusion and Family Exclusion

PAGCOR provides exclusion procedures that apply across gaming sites and venues it licenses or operates. Its published options include self-exclusion periods of six months, one year or five years; the first six months are irrevocable. A spouse, adult child or parent may also apply for family exclusion under the applicable requirements.

Forms, identification requirements and submission instructions are available on PAGCOR’s official Player Exclusion page. This national process is separate from requesting a JILIEVO account restriction.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines: 0915 938 2808 or talktous@gaphilippines.com for peer-support information and meetings.
Gam-Anon Philippines: support for relatives and friends affected by another person’s gambling through gam-anonphilippines.org.

These independent services are not JILIEVO marketing channels. Contacting them does not require you to continue playing or make a payment.

Safer Habits by Game Type

Slots: Set a spin budget and never increase stake after a losing sequence. RTP is theoretical and does not predict one session.
Fish shooters: Count every bullet as a paid bet. Lock-on, auto-fire and a larger cannon do not guarantee a catch.
Live casino: Include side bets in the total stake and avoid speed tables when the short betting window causes rushed decisions.
Poker and PVP cards: Set a buy-in cap and do not chase a bad beat by moving to a higher-stake table.
Sports betting: Do not bet on unfamiliar leagues simply because a match is live, and never treat odds as a guaranteed result.

Support for Family and Friends

Speak calmly, use bank or e-wallet records rather than accusations and avoid lending money that may be gambled. Encourage the person to call the national helpline, request exclusion and involve a qualified counselor. Family members can contact the helpline and Gam-Anon even when the player is not ready to seek help.

Review Your Play Honestly

Ask yourself: Have I spent more than planned? Am I trying to win money back? Have I hidden gambling from someone? Would stopping for one month feel difficult? If any answer is yes, pause JILIEVO play and contact support before depositing again.
