Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

78jili is dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming environment for all Filipino players. We recognize that while online gaming is a fun and exciting form of entertainment for millions of people, it can become problematic for a small percentage of users. That's why we've implemented comprehensive responsible gaming measures in accordance with PAGCOR regulations and international best practices.

Our responsible gaming program is built on three pillars: prevention through education, protection through tools and controls, and support through resources and assistance. We believe that an informed player is an empowered player, and we're committed to giving you the knowledge and tools you need to enjoy 78jili safely.

Every member of the 78jili team, from customer support representatives to senior management, receives training on identifying problem gambling signs and assisting players who may need help. We work closely with PAGCOR and leading responsible gaming organizations to stay current with the latest research, interventions, and support strategies.

Understanding Problem Gambling

Problem gambling occurs when betting activities start to negatively impact your life, relationships, finances, or emotional wellbeing. It can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and income levels. Recognizing the warning signs early is crucial to preventing serious consequences.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to several of these, you may be developing a gambling problem:

• Do you spend more time or money gambling than you intended?
• Have you felt the need to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement?
• Have you tried to cut back or stop gambling but found it difficult?
• Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to reduce gambling?
• Do you gamble to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of depression or anxiety?
• After losing money, do you return another day to chase your losses?
• Have you lied to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend gambling?
• Have you risked or lost important relationships, job opportunities, or educational chances because of gambling?
• Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or relied on others to pay bills because of gambling debts?
• Do you neglect work, school, or family responsibilities to gamble?
• Have family members or friends expressed concern about your gambling?
• Do you feel guilty or ashamed about your gambling behavior?

If you recognized yourself in multiple questions above, we encourage you to take action today. Problem gambling is treatable, and help is available. The sooner you seek support, the easier recovery becomes.

Types of Problem Gambling Behavior

Problem gambling can manifest in different ways at 78jili and other gaming platforms:

• Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble after losses to try to win back money, often leading to larger losses
• Gambling Beyond Means: Betting money you can't afford to lose, such as rent, bills, or money meant for family needs
• Loss of Control: Being unable to stick to self-imposed limits on time or money spent gambling
• Preoccupation: Constantly thinking about gambling, planning the next session, or reliving past wins or losses
• Escapist Gambling: Using gambling as the primary way to cope with stress, loneliness, anxiety, or depression
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, skipping important family events, or ignoring personal obligations to gamble

Responsible Gaming Tools at 78jili

78jili provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools designed to help you maintain control over your gaming activities. All tools are easily accessible through your account settings and can be activated or modified at any time.

Self-Exclusion Program

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at 78jili. It's designed for players who recognize they need to stop gambling completely, either temporarily or permanently. When you self-exclude, you're taking a brave and important step toward regaining control of your life.

How Self-Exclusion Works at 78jili

When you activate self-exclusion:

• Your account is immediately closed and you're logged out
• You cannot log in, make deposits, or place bets for the duration of your exclusion period
• You're removed from all 78jili marketing communications including emails, SMS, and promotional notifications
• Any pending bonuses or promotional offers are forfeited
• You can withdraw your remaining account balance before or after exclusion (we'll process it normally)
• Attempts to create new accounts during exclusion will be detected and closed immediately
• The exclusion period cannot be shortened or reversed once activated

Self-Exclusion Periods

78jili offers the following self-exclusion durations:

• 6 Months: Minimum exclusion period for temporary breaks
• 1 Year: For players needing extended time away from gambling
• 5 Years: Long-term exclusion for serious gambling problems
• Permanent: Lifetime ban from 78jili with no option to reopen your account

PAGCOR National Self-Exclusion Program

For comprehensive protection, consider enrolling in PAGCOR's National Self-Exclusion Program. This program excludes you from all PAGCOR-licensed online and land-based casinos across the Philippines, not just 78jili. To enroll, visit the PAGCOR website or contact their Customer Relations Department. 78jili fully supports and complies with PAGCOR's national self-exclusion registry.

Tips for Responsible Gaming

Whether you're a casual player or a regular at 78jili, these guidelines will help you maintain a healthy relationship with online gaming:

Set Limits and Stick to Them

• Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing - treat it as entertainment expense, not investment
• Set a time limit for each gaming session and use an alarm or timer to remind you
• Never chase losses by increasing bets or playing longer than planned
• Use 78jili's deposit limit and loss limit tools to enforce your personal boundaries

Treat Gambling as Entertainment, Not Income

• Never gamble with money needed for rent, bills, groceries, or family necessities
• Don't rely on gambling winnings to solve financial problems - the odds always favor the house long-term
• Accept that losses are part of the game - you're paying for entertainment, just like going to a movie or concert
• Celebrate wins, but remember they're temporary and luck-based

Balance Gaming with Other Activities

• Maintain hobbies, social activities, and interests outside of gambling
• Spend quality time with family and friends who don't gamble
• Don't let 78jili interfere with work, school, or personal responsibilities
• If you find yourself thinking about gambling constantly, take a break

Avoid Gambling Under Influence

• Never gamble when intoxicated by alcohol or drugs - impaired judgment leads to poor decisions
• Don't use gambling to escape negative emotions like stress, depression, anxiety, or loneliness
• Avoid gambling when you're tired, angry, or emotionally distressed
• If you're using gambling as a coping mechanism, seek professional help

Understand the Odds

• All 78jili games have a house edge - the casino always has a mathematical advantage over time
• Read game rules and RTP (Return to Player) percentages to understand your chances
• Remember that gambling outcomes are random - no strategy can guarantee wins
• Be skeptical of "winning systems" or "guaranteed strategies" - they don't exist
