Legal Age Requirement: You must be at least 21 years old to register and play on jiligo. This is the legal minimum gambling age in the Philippines as established by law and enforced by PAGCOR. We take age verification seriously and require government-issued identification to confirm your age before allowing withdrawals. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited and illegal.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At jiligo, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of financial stress or personal problems. While the vast majority of our Filipino players gamble responsibly within their means, we recognize that some individuals may develop unhealthy gambling patterns. That's why jiligo has implemented comprehensive responsible gaming measures aligned with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and international best practices.
Responsible gaming means understanding that gambling involves risk, that you may lose money, and that you should never gamble more than you can afford to lose. It means viewing slots, casino games, and sports betting as entertainment expenses similar to going to the movies or dining out - not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. jiligo provides multiple tools and resources to help you stay in control of your gaming activity and recognize when gambling might be becoming a problem.
Self-Control Tools Available at jiligo
jiligo offers several responsible gaming tools that put you in control of your gambling activity. These tools are designed to help you set limits, take breaks, and prevent excessive gambling. All tools can be activated by contacting our customer support team.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your jiligo account within a specific timeframe. Once you reach your deposit limit, you will not be able to deposit additional funds until the time period expires. Deposit limits help prevent impulsive decisions to deposit more money than you originally intended. You can decrease your deposit limit at any time, and the new limit takes effect immediately. Increases to deposit limits require a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect, giving you time to reconsider.
Loss Limits
Loss limits allow you to set a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once you've reached your loss limit, you will not be able to place additional bets until the time period resets. This tool helps ensure that a losing streak doesn't result in losses beyond what you can comfortably afford. Loss limits consider your net losses (total losses minus total wins) rather than just wagers, giving you an accurate picture of your actual losses.
Session Time Limits
Set time limits for how long you spend playing on jiligo in a single session. You'll receive notifications when you approach your time limit, and when the limit is reached, you'll be logged out of your account. Session time limits help prevent losing track of time while playing, which can lead to longer sessions than you intended. Taking regular breaks helps you maintain perspective and make better decisions about your gambling.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable pop-up reminders that appear at intervals you choose (every 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes) while you're playing. These reminders show you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost during your current session. Reality checks help you maintain awareness of your gambling activity and provide natural moments to decide whether to continue playing or take a break.
Cooling-Off Period
Take a voluntary break from gambling for a period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you will not be able to access your jiligo account, deposit funds, or place bets. However, you can still withdraw any remaining balance in your account. Cooling-off periods are useful if you feel you need a short break to regain perspective without permanently closing your account. Once the cooling-off period expires, your account will automatically reactivate.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that your gambling has become problematic and you need to stop completely, jiligo offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to access your jiligo account, and you will not be permitted to create a new account. You will not receive promotional communications from jiligo during your self-exclusion. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and cannot be reversed or cancelled during the exclusion period. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed permanently and cannot be reopened. Any remaining balance in your account can be withdrawn according to our standard withdrawal procedures before the self-exclusion takes effect.
To request self-exclusion, contact our customer support team. We recommend that you also consider enrolling in PAGCOR's National Self-Exclusion Program, which extends your self-exclusion across all PAGCOR-regulated gaming operators in the Philippines, providing comprehensive protection.
Responsible Gaming Best Practices
Gamble with Money You Can Afford to Lose
Only gamble with disposable income - money that's left after you've paid your bills, rent, food, and other essential expenses. Never gamble with money intended for necessities or with borrowed funds.
Set Time Limits and Take Breaks
Decide how long you'll play before you start, and stick to it. Take regular breaks every hour to stretch, get fresh air, and maintain perspective. Don't let gambling consume all your free time.
Never Chase Your Losses
If you're losing, don't try to win back your losses by betting more or playing longer. This is called "chasing losses" and is one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors that leads to bigger losses.
Don't Gamble While Intoxicated
Avoid gambling when you've been drinking alcohol or using substances that impair judgment. Impaired decision-making leads to reckless bets and losses you'll regret when sober.
Keep Gambling in Perspective
Gambling should be one of many leisure activities in your life, not the main one. Maintain balance by spending time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, and engaging in activities that don't involve gambling.
Talk to Someone You Trust
If you're concerned about your gambling, talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counselor. Don't keep gambling problems a secret - sharing your concerns is the first step toward getting help.

Protecting Minors and Vulnerable Individuals
jiligo is committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting vulnerable individuals from gambling-related harm. We employ strict age verification procedures and actively work to ensure our platform is not accessible to anyone under 21 years of age.
Age Verification: All jiligo players must verify their age by submitting a government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, UMID, or other valid identification) before being allowed to withdraw winnings. We use advanced identity verification technology to confirm that the person creating an account matches the identification documents provided and meets the 21+ age requirement.
Parental Controls: Parents and guardians concerned about underage access to online gambling should use device-level parental controls, web filtering software, and monitor their children's internet usage. Keep your jiligo account credentials secure and never share your password with anyone, including family members. Log out of your account after each session to prevent unauthorized access.
Protecting Vulnerable Adults: If you are concerned that a family member or friend may have a gambling problem, approach them with compassion and without judgment. Offer to help them access support resources, and consider attending a Gam-Anon meeting to learn how to best support them while protecting your own wellbeing.
Remember: Gambling is meant to be entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. jiligo encourages all our Filipino players to gamble responsibly, set limits, take breaks, and seek help if gambling stops being fun. We're committed to providing a safe, secure, and responsible gaming environment where entertainment comes first and player welfare is our top priority.
