Responsible Gaming at JDBJILI: Tools, Limits & Help
Bingo, keno and slots are entertainment, never a way to make money. JDBJILI only recommends PAGCOR-licensed operators that put real safeguards in every account, and this page explains the tools available and where to get help if play stops being fun.
Tools Built Into Every Account
On a PAGCOR-licensed platform, you do not have to contact support to protect yourself, the controls live in your account dashboard and take effect immediately.
- Deposit limits: cap how much you can add per day, week or month.
- Self-exclusion: lock your account for a chosen period, from a short cooling-off to a long-term break.
- Reality checks: on-screen reminders of how long you have been playing.
- Loss and session limits: set boundaries before you start, not in the heat of a session.
Signs to Watch For
- Chasing losses, betting more to win back what you have lost.
- Playing with money meant for bills, food or family.
- Spending longer or more than you planned, and hiding it from people close to you.
- Feeling anxious, irritable or low when you are not playing.
If any of these sound familiar, set a deposit limit or use self-exclusion today, and reach out for support, it is free and confidential.
Where to Get Help
The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) runs a free, confidential crisis hotline at 1553, available to anyone in the Philippines. Reaching out early is a strength, not a weakness. Only players aged 21 and over may gamble, and accounts must be in the player's own name, both rules exist to protect you.

Can I limit how much I deposit?
Yes. Deposit limits let you cap how much you can add per day, week or month, and you can set them at any time from your account settings. Reductions typically take effect right away.
Who can I call for help in the Philippines?
Call the NCMH crisis hotline at 1553: it is free, confidential and available to anyone. If your gambling is affecting your finances or relationships, use self-exclusion and reach out early.
