Our Commitment

When the Game Stays a Game

pjc believes that online entertainment is at its best when it remains a source of enjoyment rather than a source of stress or financial pressure. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the information, tools, and support they need to make informed decisions about how they play. Our platform is designed so that you are always in control — of your time, your budget, and your overall experience. Responsible gaming is not just a policy statement for us; it is a core part of how pjc operates and how we treat every member of our community. We encourage all players to approach betting and casino-style games as a form of leisure, not as a way to earn income or recover losses.

If at any point you feel that your gaming habits are changing in ways that concern you, pjc provides practical tools to help you pause, reflect, and reset. You are never alone in managing your experience on this platform.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you deposit so your spending always stays within a budget you are comfortable with.

Session Time Reminders

Receive gentle reminders about how long you have been playing so you can take regular breaks and keep your sessions balanced.

Self-Exclusion

Request a temporary or extended break from the platform at any time. During a self-exclusion period, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in.

Activity History

Review your full betting and gaming history at any time so you have a clear, honest picture of your activity and spending patterns over time.

Know the Signs

Recognising When Play Becomes a Problem

Awareness is the first step. Here are some signs that gaming may be affecting your wellbeing.

Chasing Losses

Feeling a strong urge to keep playing in order to win back money you have already lost is one of the clearest early warning signs of problem gambling. Losses are a normal part of any game of chance, and no strategy guarantees recovery.

Neglecting Responsibilities

When gaming starts to take priority over work, family time, or daily obligations, it is a signal worth taking seriously. Healthy gaming fits around your life — it does not replace or disrupt the things that matter most to you.

Mood Swings Around Gaming

Feeling anxious, irritable, or low when you are not playing, or feeling that gaming is the only activity that brings relief, are signs that the relationship with gaming may need to be reassessed with the help of a professional.

Spending Beyond Your Budget

Regularly depositing more than you planned, borrowing money to fund gaming, or using funds set aside for essential expenses are serious indicators that gaming has moved beyond entertainment and into harmful territory.

Hiding Your Activity

Feeling the need to conceal how much time or money you spend on gaming from family members or close friends is a common sign that something has shifted. Open, honest conversations with people you trust can be an important first step toward getting support.

Unable to Stop or Cut Back

If you have tried to reduce how often or how much you play but found it difficult or impossible to follow through, this is a strong signal that professional support could make a meaningful difference to your wellbeing and daily life.

Smart Play Tips

Habits That Keep Gaming Enjoyable

Keeping your gaming experience positive is straightforward when you build a few simple habits from the start. These practical tips are designed for Filipino players who want to enjoy everything pjc has to offer while staying firmly in control of their time and money.

  • Set a budget before you start.

    Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable spending before you open any game or place any bet. Treat this amount the same way you would treat a budget for any other leisure activity — once it is spent, the session ends.

  • Never play to recover losses.

    Every game on pjc is based on chance, and outcomes are always independent of previous results. Chasing losses rarely leads to recovery and almost always leads to spending more than you intended.

  • Take regular breaks.

    Step away from the screen at regular intervals. A short break helps you stay clear-headed, reassess your session, and return to gaming with a fresh perspective rather than an impulsive one.

  • Keep gaming in balance with other activities.

    A healthy gaming habit is one that sits comfortably alongside your other interests, social life, and responsibilities. If gaming is crowding out other things you enjoy, it may be time to reassess how much time you are dedicating to it.

Need Support?

You Are Not Alone

If you or someone you know in the Philippines is struggling with gambling-related concerns, reaching out to a professional support service is a positive and courageous step. Help is available, and recovery is possible with the right guidance and community support.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provides responsible gaming resources and referral services for Filipino players who need assistance. You can also speak with a trusted healthcare professional or counsellor in your local community for confidential support.

If you would like to use pjc's built-in tools — such as deposit limits, session reminders, or self-exclusion — please visit the FAQ page for step-by-step guidance on how to activate these features from your account settings.

Age Restriction

Strictly 21 and Above in the Philippines

pjc strictly prohibits access to its platform by anyone under the legal gambling age in the Philippines. All new accounts are subject to identity verification, and any account found to belong to an underage individual will be immediately suspended and any funds returned in accordance with applicable regulations.

If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned that a minor in your household may be accessing online gaming platforms, we strongly recommend using parental control software on shared devices and having an open conversation about the risks associated with underage gambling. Protecting young people from gambling harm is a responsibility we take seriously at every level of our platform operations.
