Responsible Gaming Guide from JDBJILI

What JDBJILI believes about play

Gambling with JILI games such as Super Ace and Fortune Gems is a paid form of entertainment, like a night out. You are buying an experience, and the cost is the money you lose. It is not a salary, a side hustle or a repayment plan, and any guide that frames it that way is misleading you.

Because every spin is random and the house keeps a built-in edge, long sessions tend to move results toward the house, not away from it. A winning night is luck and a losing night is the expected outcome. JDBJILI is an independent guide and not an operator, so these tools are ones you set up with your chosen platform.

Player tools to switch on before you play

Licensed operators typically provide controls like the ones below. Look for them in the account or safer gambling area, and set them before your first deposit.

• Deposit limits: cap how much you can add per day, week or month.
• Loss limits: set a ceiling on net losses over a chosen period.
• Session and time reminders: get a prompt after you have been playing for a set time.
• Cooling-off breaks: pause the account for a short, fixed period.
• Self-exclusion: block your account for a longer period or permanently.
• Account history: review your own deposits, bets and losses honestly.

A good habit is to treat the limit as the price of the evening. When it is gone, the evening is over.

Recognising the warning signs

• Betting more than you planned, or for longer than you planned.
• Chasing losses with bigger bets to "win it back".
• Borrowing money, using GCash or Maya credit, or skipping bills to play.
• Hiding your play from family or lying about how much you spend.
• Feeling restless, irritable or low when you are not playing.
• Playing to escape stress, loneliness or money worries.

If two or three of these sound familiar, take a break today. Talking to someone you trust is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Protecting minors: 21 and above only

Online gaming is for adults aged 21 and above. Keep devices, e-wallet apps and PINs away from children, do not let a minor use your account, and never let anyone borrow your verified identity. Parental controls and app locks on phones can help. If you suspect an underage person is using an account, contact the operator immediately.

Where to get help in the Philippines

If gambling is affecting your finances, relationships or mood, call the NCMH crisis hotline at 1553. Help is free and confidential, and you do not need to be in a full crisis to call. You can also ask your operator to enable self-exclusion at any time.

If you are worried about a family member, calmly raise your concerns without blame, and offer to help them find support. Financial pressure is often easier to face with another person beside you.
