At jlpg, we believe that gaming should always be a source of entertainment — never a source of stress or financial harm. This page outlines the tools, guidelines, and support resources available to every Filipino player who wants to keep their gaming experience healthy and enjoyable. We encourage all members to read through these guidelines before placing their first bet.
Applies to all registered members accessing jlpg from the Philippines. Players must be 21 years of age or older.
jlpg provides practical tools to help you set limits, take breaks, and seek help whenever you need it.
jlpg is committed to providing a gaming environment that is fair, transparent, and safe for every Filipino player.
You can set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings at any time. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for a 24-hour cooling-off period. This gives you full control over how much you spend on the platform each period. We strongly encourage all players to set a realistic budget before they start playing. Sticking to your limit is the single most effective way to keep gaming enjoyable and stress-free.
Losing track of time is one of the most common ways gaming sessions become longer than intended. jlpg allows you to set session time reminders that will alert you after a chosen period of continuous play. You can configure these reminders in your account preferences to trigger after 30 minutes, 1 hour, or any custom interval you prefer. When the reminder appears, you are encouraged to take a short break, step away from the screen, and reassess whether you want to continue. Regular breaks help maintain perspective and keep gaming a leisure activity rather than a compulsion.
If you feel that your gaming habits are becoming difficult to manage, self-exclusion is a powerful tool that lets you temporarily or permanently suspend your account. You can request a self-exclusion period of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, or a permanent closure through your account settings or by contacting our support team. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets on the platform. We will also suppress any promotional communications to your registered contact details for the duration of the exclusion. This option is available to all registered Filipino members at no cost and with no penalty.
Reality checks are on-screen notifications that appear at regular intervals during your gaming session to show you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered or won or lost during that session. These prompts are designed to give you an honest, real-time picture of your activity so you can make informed decisions about whether to continue. You can enable and configure reality checks in your account settings, and we recommend activating them for every session regardless of your experience level. Awareness is the foundation of responsible play, and reality checks are one of the simplest ways to stay aware. Filipino players who use these tools consistently report a more relaxed and enjoyable gaming experience overall.
A cooling-off period is a short-term break option that lets you pause your account for a set number of days — typically 1, 7, or 30 days — without committing to a full self-exclusion. During a cooling-off period, your account is suspended and you cannot access any gaming features, but your account data and balance are preserved for when the period ends. This is ideal for players who feel they need a brief pause to reassess their habits without permanently closing their account. You can request a cooling-off period at any time through your account dashboard, and it takes effect within minutes of your request. We encourage players to use this option proactively rather than waiting until a problem becomes serious.
We recognise that problem gambling does not only affect the individual player — it can have a significant impact on family members and loved ones as well. If you are concerned about the gaming habits of someone close to you, we encourage you to reach out to our support team for guidance on the options available. Family members can request information about how to help a loved one access self-exclusion or cooling-off tools, and our team will respond with sensitivity and discretion. We also recommend that concerned family members seek support from professional counselling services available in the Philippines. Open communication and early intervention are the most effective ways to prevent gaming from becoming a serious problem within a household.
Gaming is meant to be a fun and entertaining activity, but it can sometimes develop into a habit that is difficult to control. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. The following behaviours may indicate that gaming is becoming a problem rather than a pastime.
Continuing to play in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost, often leading to larger losses over time.
Missing work, school, or family obligations because of time spent gaming or thinking about gaming.
Using borrowed funds, credit, or money set aside for essential expenses such as rent or food to finance gaming activity.
Experiencing restlessness, irritability, or anxiety when unable to access gaming platforms or when trying to cut down.
Concealing the amount of time or money spent on gaming from family members, friends, or colleagues.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we strongly encourage you to use the self-exclusion or cooling-off tools available on jlpg, and to seek professional support from one of the organisations listed on this page.
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available in the Philippines. The following organisations provide confidential support, counselling, and intervention services for individuals and families affected by gambling-related issues.

You can reach the NCMH Crisis Hotline at 1553 (toll-free from any Philippine network). All calls are confidential and handled by trained mental health professionals.

PAGCOR is the primary regulatory body overseeing gaming operations in the Philippines and maintains a responsible gaming programme that includes player protection resources and referral services.
