007JL Responsible Gaming: Who May Play and Where Help Is

Gambling is entertainment that costs money, and it should never become a way to earn money or escape a problem. This page sets out what 007JL responsible gaming means on this reference site: who may play, how to tell when play has stopped being play, and where to turn. The money habits that keep play inside a budget are in the page on how to know your limits before every session.

What 007JL responsible gaming means here

This site is a player-side reference. It explains games, wallets and the lobby’s screens so that you can decide what to do with your money before you spend it. It is not the operator and cannot place limits on your account.

Responsible gaming here comes down to four habits:

  1. Play only with money you can afford to lose.
  2. Fix a time and an amount before you start, and stop when either runs out.
  3. Never borrow to play, and never play to win back a loss.
  4. Treat any win as a surprise, not as income.

PAGCOR’s responsible gaming page puts it in the same terms: gambling is not a source of income, set time limits for each session, never borrow money for it, and do not chase your losses.

Who may play: 21 and over

This site says 21+ and means it. PAGCOR’s responsible gaming page lists persons under 21 among those prohibited from entering and playing in any gaming establishment and from playing on any online gaming platform. The same list names government officials and employees, members of the armed forces and police, and people in PAGCOR’s National Database of Restricted Persons. If you are under 21, do not play, and do not lend your account or your wallet to someone who is.

Signs that play has stopped being play

PAGCOR’s page lists these warning signs, and they match what the American Psychiatric Association and Mayo Clinic describe:

  • Spending or betting more than you meant to, or gambling for longer than you planned.
  • Trying again and again to win back what you lost.
  • Debt, missed bills, borrowing, or selling belongings to keep gambling.
  • Constant thoughts about gambling, strained relationships, or feeling hopeless, anxious or depressed.

One of these on a bad night is a warning. Several that keep returning are a pattern, and a pattern deserves a conversation with a doctor or counsellor.

Where help is

You do not have to wait until it is bad. Start with whichever of these is easiest today.

  1. Tell one person you trust what you have been playing and spending.
  2. Look at your record. In the 007JL lobby, the transaction record shows 30 days and your game history sits under Record ng Pagtaya, so you can see what you actually spent.
  3. Ask the Customer Service chat in the lobby’s side menu which account controls are open to you.
  4. Call PAGCOR’s responsible gaming line, (02) 8248-9568, as printed on its exclusion page, which also describes PAGCOR’s self-exclusion programme with periods of 6 months, 1 year and 5 years.
  5. In a crisis, read the page on the crisis hotline Philippines callers can use.
