Responsible Gaming and Safer Play Guide
Set limits before play, recognize warning signs early and use account or customer-service controls when gambling stops feeling like entertainment.
Gambling for 21 years old and above only
For Philippines users, gambling is for adults aged 21 and above only. Do not use another person's identity, payment method or account to bypass age or account checks, and keep devices and saved credentials away from minors. PAGCOR's current responsible-gaming message is: Gambling can be Addictive. Know When to Stop.
Set time and entertainment-budget limits first
Choose a fixed amount of disposable entertainment money and a session end time before opening a game or promotion. Essential expenses, borrowed money, emergency savings and funds promised to another person should never be treated as a gaming budget.
Do not chase losses, bonuses or deadlines
Previous outcomes do not create a need to continue. A loss should not be followed by a larger deposit to recover it, and a bonus deadline should not override a preset limit. Promotion value depends on eligibility, restrictions and turnover conditions; it is not guaranteed income.
Warning signs that require a pause
Stop and review your situation when play is hidden from family, sleep or work is disrupted, deposits exceed the planned amount, borrowed funds are involved, emotions determine stake size, or repeated attempts continue after the session limit. More than one warning sign is a strong reason to use account controls and seek support outside the gaming session.
Use available account controls
Ask official customer service about current deposit limits, cooling-off options, temporary suspension, self-exclusion or account closure when needed. Keep the support record and follow the stated process rather than opening another account or using an outside contact to bypass a restriction.
PAGCOR help and self-exclusion options
PAGCOR lists the National Problem Gambling Helpline at (02) 8248-9568. Its self-exclusion program allows applicants to request 6 months, 1 year and 5 years; the first six months of a self-exclusion order are irrevocable. These are PAGCOR resources and are separate from ordinary WAGI777 account support.
Keep payment decisions separate from emotion
Before a GCash or Maya transaction, confirm the amount, direction, destination and current platform instruction. Do not repeat a pending payment simply because the balance has not updated, and never send an OTP, wallet password or remote-access permission to someone offering faster processing.
Take breaks and involve a trusted person
Leave the screen, review transaction history and compare activity with the original limits. A trusted person can help protect access to payment methods or devices when self-control is difficult. Professional financial or mental-health support may also be appropriate when gambling is causing debt, distress or conflict.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a responsible gaming budget?
It is a fixed amount of disposable entertainment money chosen before play. It should never include rent, food, debt payments, borrowed funds or emergency savings.
What should I do after reaching my limit?
Stop the session. Do not deposit again to recover an outcome or complete a promotion, and use account controls when stopping is difficult.
Can customer service help with account controls?
Use the official support route to ask which deposit limits, cooling-off, suspension, self-exclusion or closure options are currently available.
Does a promotion reduce gambling risk?
No. Promotions have conditions and do not guarantee value, profit or a particular outcome.

PAGCOR lists the National Problem Gambling Helpline at (02) 8248-9568 and provides self-exclusion options for 6 months, 1 year and 5 years. Check PAGCOR's current Responsible Gaming and Exclusion pages for the latest process.
