10JILI Responsible Gaming: Set Limits, Find Help

Responsible gaming 10jili starts before you place a bet: decide what you can afford to lose, and how long you will play, while you are calm. This page gives you the steps to do that and the Philippine contacts to use when play stops being fun. Gambling is for adults aged 21 and over, and it is never a way to earn money.

Who is prohibited from gambling

PAGCOR, the Philippine regulator, lists the people who are barred from gambling. They are:

1. All government officials and employees.
2. Members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police.
3. Persons under 21 years old.
4. Persons on the NDRP list.
5. Holders of a GEL, under Presidential Decree 1869 as amended.

If you fall into any group, do not register or play. This site is written for readers aged 21 and over.

Reminders to keep play safe

PAGCOR’s reminders are simple, and they work best when you treat them as rules.

• Gambling is not a source of income, so never rely on it to pay bills.
• Set time limits and stick to them.
• Never borrow money to gamble.
• Do not chase your losses, because the next bet does not owe you a win.

How to set limits before you play

Limits work when you set them before the first spin, not after a bad run. Follow these steps each time you sit down.

1. Choose a budget from money you can spare after rent, food, bills and family costs, and write the number down.
2. Set a session length, for example one hour, and set a phone alarm for it.
3. Deposit only your budget. The lobby’s deposit minimum is PHP100, so you never need to top up in a rush.
4. Decide a walk-away point for a win as well as a loss, and leave when you reach either.
5. Take a break after each session and never play tired, upset or after drinking.
6. Keep a simple note of what you deposited and withdrew each week, and check it honestly.

Open the cashier and read what it shows before each deposit. Ask 10JILI’s Live Chat, through the 10JILI customer service route, which account controls it offers.

Warning signs

Pay attention if you play longer than you planned, hide your play from family, borrow to keep going, or feel anxious when you are not playing. Any one of these is a reason to pause and talk to someone.

Self-exclusion and family exclusion

PAGCOR runs the OSEA self-exclusion portal at www.osea.pagcor.ph, where you can ask to be excluded from gambling yourself. A family member can also request an exclusion by emailing the form to ResponsibleGaming@pagcor.ph.
