Responsible Gaming Guidance and Support in the Philippines

If you choose to gamble, set controls before opening a game:

• choose a fixed money limit you can afford to lose;
• choose a time limit and use an alarm;
• do not increase either limit during the session;
• do not borrow money or use money needed for food, housing, bills, debt, health, education, or family needs;
• do not chase a loss;
• avoid gambling while distressed, intoxicated, sleep-deprived, or under pressure;
• take regular breaks and keep gambling separate from work and relationships;
• review actual deposits and withdrawals, not only displayed wins;
• stop when the limit is reached, regardless of a meter, colour, “signal,” or promotion.

PAGCOR provides self-exclusion and family-exclusion routes. Its current responsible-gaming page links to an online self-exclusion application and family-exclusion information. Follow that official page for the current route, requirements and scope.

Self-exclusion options include six months, one year and five years; the first six months cannot be revoked. Family exclusion has separate eligibility and duration rules. Exclusion is a practical access restriction, not a guarantee that every unrelated website will block access.
