Our Commitment to Safe and Enjoyable Play

Gaming on jilibay is designed to be a form of entertainment — not a way to earn income or escape from everyday problems. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the information and tools they need to stay in control at all times.

Set a Budget Before You Play

Decide on a fixed amount you are comfortable spending before you start any session. Only use funds that you can afford to lose without affecting your daily needs, bills, or savings. Treating your gaming budget as an entertainment expense — similar to a night out or a movie — helps keep things in perspective. Never chase losses by depositing more than your planned amount. If you reach your limit for the day, log out and come back another time.

Manage Your Time Wisely

It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying casino-style games on your mobile device. Set a clear time limit for each session and use your phone's built-in screen time tools to help you stick to it. Taking regular breaks — even just stepping away for a few minutes — keeps your mind fresh and your decisions clear. Avoid playing late at night when you are tired, as fatigue can affect your judgement. Balance your gaming time with other activities, social connections, and responsibilities.

Keep Track of Your Activity

Reviewing your transaction history and session logs regularly is one of the most effective ways to stay aware of your gaming habits. Your account dashboard gives you a clear view of your deposits, withdrawals, and play history at any time. If you notice that your spending or time on the platform is increasing beyond what you planned, take it as a signal to pause and reassess. Awareness is the first step toward maintaining healthy habits. Honest self-reflection is more valuable than any winning streak.

Self-Exclusion When You Need a Break

If you feel that you need a longer break from gaming, you can request a self-exclusion period through our support team via your account dashboard. During a self-exclusion period, your account will be suspended and you will not be able to log in or receive promotional communications. This tool is available to any player who feels their gaming is becoming difficult to control, and we will always process these requests promptly and without judgement. Self-exclusion can be set for a defined period or on an indefinite basis depending on your needs. We encourage you to use this option freely — your wellbeing always comes first.

Age Verification and Player Protection

jilibay strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players in the Philippines, in line with local regulations. During registration, we collect date of birth information and may request identity documents to verify your age before your account is fully activated. We do not knowingly allow underage individuals to access the platform, and any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately closed. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned about a young person accessing online gaming platforms, we recommend using parental control software on shared devices. Protecting young people from gambling-related harm is a responsibility we take seriously.

Keep It Fun — Know When to Stop

The most important principle of responsible gaming is simple: play for enjoyment, not to solve financial problems or relieve stress. When gaming stops feeling fun and starts feeling like an obligation or a source of anxiety, that is a clear sign to step back. Winning and losing are both part of the experience, and no outcome should ever feel like a crisis. If you find yourself feeling irritable, anxious, or preoccupied with gaming outside of your sessions, please reach out to our support team or one of the resources listed below. There is no shame in asking for help — it is the smartest move you can make.

Recognise the Warning Signs Early

Problem gambling can develop gradually, and it is not always easy to notice the signs in yourself. The following behaviours may indicate that gaming is starting to have a negative impact on your life. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to seek support.

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or depositing again after losing your set budget for the day.
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or when you try to reduce the amount of time you spend gaming.
  • Borrowing money, selling personal items, or neglecting bills and essential expenses in order to fund your gaming activity.
  • Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you are spending on gaming.
  • Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often leading to larger losses.
  • Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or personal health because of the time spent on gaming.
