Responsible Use

Responsible use starts before a session: decide the time and money you can afford to spend, protect account access, take planned breaks and stop when the limit is reached.

Set limits before you begin

Choose a spending amount that comes from discretionary entertainment money rather than money needed for rent, food, transport, debt or savings goals. Choose a time limit as well. A limit is most useful when it is decided before emotion or a previous result influences the next decision.

Do not chase a previous result

A loss does not create a debt that a future session must recover. Increasing spending, session length or frequency to “get back” a previous result can increase harm. Step away and return only when you can follow the limits you set in advance.

Use planned breaks

Set a reminder so the break does not depend on how you feel in the moment. During the break, leave the screen, review the time and spending already used, and decide whether stopping for the day is the better choice.

Protect account access

Use a unique password, keep one-time codes private and avoid saving credentials on shared devices. Be cautious of urgent messages that ask for a secret code, payment to an unfamiliar account or a login through an unexpected link.

Watch for warning signs

• Spending money reserved for essential expenses
• Borrowing money to continue
• Hiding activity or spending from people affected by it
• Continuing longer than planned despite repeated intentions to stop
• Using play to escape serious financial or emotional stress

Eligibility and local rules

Follow applicable age requirements and current Philippine laws and local rules. Requirements can depend on the activity, operator and location, so check the rules that apply to the actual service and place involved.

When to seek additional help

If play causes financial stress, secrecy, conflict, missed obligations or difficulty stopping, step away. Consider speaking with a trusted person, a qualified adviser or an appropriate support service in your area. Immediate financial safety and wellbeing are more important than continuing a session.
