Responsible Gambling

Maglaro nang responsable (play responsibly)

Gambling is entertainment that costs money. It is not a way to earn a living, and no system or tip guarantees a win. A few rules that genuinely help:

• Decide your budget before you log in, and treat it as money already spent on entertainment.
• Set a time limit. Use your phone alarm if you have to.
• Never borrow to gamble, never use rent, tuition or padala money, and never chase your losses.
• Take a break after a big win as well as after a loss. Both cloud your judgment.
• If it stops being fun, stop. Free, confidential, 24/7 help is available from PAGCOR's National Problem Gambling Helpline at (02) 8248-9568. See our responsible gambling page for more.
