Responsible Gaming
at vvjil
Gaming at vvjil is meant to be fun — a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or escape personal problems. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support they need to play safely, within their means, and within the law.
This page outlines how vvjil upholds its responsible gaming obligations under PAGCOR regulations, the tools available to help you stay in control, and where to turn if you or someone you care about needs help.
Minimum Age: 21 Years Old
In accordance with PAGCOR regulations, all players on the vvjil platform must be at least 21 years of age. This requirement is strictly enforced through our identity verification (KYC) process and is non-negotiable.
vvjil has built responsible gaming protections into every level of our platform — from account registration all the way through to ongoing gameplay monitoring.
Strict Age Verification
Every new vvjil account goes through mandatory KYC identity verification. We verify government-issued IDs — SSS, UMID, passport, PhilHealth card, or driver's license — to confirm that every player is at least 21 years old before any real-money activity is permitted.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your vvjil account settings. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period — a deliberate friction that helps you stay in control of your spending.
Session Time Limits
vvjil lets you set a maximum session duration for your gaming activity. Once your session limit is reached, you will be automatically logged out. You can also enable on-screen reminders that alert you every 30, 60, or 90 minutes during active gameplay.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that gaming is becoming a problem, you can activate self-exclusion at any time. vvjil offers cooling-off periods (24 hours to 6 weeks) and full self-exclusion (6 months to 5 years). During exclusion, your account is locked and all marketing communications are suspended.
Reality Check Tools
Your vvjil account dashboard shows a clear summary of your net gaming position — deposits, withdrawals, wins, and losses — over any time period you choose. Transparency about your real financial position is a core part of responsible play.
24/7 Support & Referrals
vvjil's player support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If you raise a responsible gaming concern, our trained support agents will assist you with account controls and, where appropriate, refer you to professional counselling resources in the Philippines.
Problem gambling — sometimes called gambling disorder — is a condition where a person loses control of their gambling behaviour in a way that harms their financial situation, relationships, work, or mental health. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, income level, or background, and it often develops gradually rather than all at once.
The good news is that problem gambling is recognisable and treatable. Being aware of the warning signs — in yourself or in someone you know — is the first and most important step toward getting help. vvjil encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves and to reach out if anything on the list below feels familiar.
Chasing Losses
Returning to gamble again and again to try to win back money you have already lost, often betting more than you originally planned in an attempt to "get even."
Hiding Your Gambling
Lying to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling, or feeling the need to keep your gaming activity secret.
Escalating Stakes
Needing to bet increasing amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement — a pattern similar to tolerance in substance addiction.
Gambling with Essential Money
Using funds set aside for rent, groceries, bills, or school fees to gamble — or borrowing money from family or friends to fund gaming activity.
Gambling to Cope
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness, or other personal problems rather than as a form of entertainment.
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to speak with our support team or a professional counsellor.
vvjil provides a full suite of account control tools that you can activate instantly, without requiring approval from anyone. These tools are always free to use and available around the clock.
Cooling-Off Period
Temporarily pause your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or up to 6 weeks. During a cooling-off period, you cannot log in or place bets. The pause activates immediately and cannot be reversed once set.
Short-Term Self-Exclusion
Exclude yourself for 6 months or 1 year. Your account is locked, all promotional emails and SMS are suspended, and you will be added to vvjil's internal exclusion list to prevent accidental re-registration during the exclusion window.
Long-Term Self-Exclusion
Exclude yourself for 2 years, 3 years, or up to 5 years. Long-term self-exclusion is recommended for players who feel that gambling has become a persistent problem. Reinstatement after the exclusion period requires a formal review with our responsible gaming team.
Permanent Closure
You may request permanent closure of your vvjil account at any time. Once permanently closed, the account cannot be reopened. Any remaining balance will be returned to your registered payment method after standard identity verification.
Responsible gaming is not about playing less — it is about playing smart. These practical tips can help you keep gaming fun, affordable, and within healthy boundaries, whether you enjoy slots, live casino games, Monster Hi-Lo, bingo, or sports betting on vvjil.
-
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide how much you can afford to lose — not win — before you open any game. Only use money that is fully discretionary and does not affect your rent, bills, groceries, or family obligations.
-
Set a Time Limit
Decide in advance how long you will play and stick to it. Use vvjil's session timer feature or set an alarm on your phone. Taking regular breaks helps you maintain perspective and prevents impulsive decisions.
-
Never Chase Losses
If you have reached your budget for the session, stop — even if you are behind. Chasing losses is the single most common driver of problem gambling. Accept that losses are a normal and expected part of entertainment gaming.
-
Play for Fun, Not Profit
Treat gaming as entertainment — the same way you would treat a movie ticket, a dinner out in BGC, or a night of karaoke with friends. The moment it stops being fun, it is time to take a break.
-
Talk to Someone
If you are worried about your gambling or someone else's, talk about it. Reaching out — to a trusted friend, a family member, or a professional — is a sign of strength, not weakness.
vvjil operates under a PAGCOR license and fully supports the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation's responsible gaming framework. In addition to the tools vvjil provides directly, there are independent organisations in the Philippines that can offer confidential support and counselling to people experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Division
PAGCOR administers the national responsible gaming programme for the Philippines, including the PAGCOR-supervised self-exclusion registry. Players who wish to self-exclude at the national level — across all PAGCOR-licensed operators — may register with the PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Division directly. Contact PAGCOR through their official government channels for more information.
National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)
The NCMH in Mandaluyong City provides mental health services for Filipinos, including counselling for behavioural addictions such as problem gambling. Their 24/7 crisis hotline (NCMHline) offers immediate telephone support for mental health concerns anywhere in the Philippines.
Gamblers Anonymous Philippines
Gamblers Anonymous is a peer support fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to solve their common problem and help others recover from gambling disorder. GA meetings are held regularly in Metro Manila, Cebu City, Davao, and other locations across the Philippines.
Keeping children and teenagers away from online gambling is a shared responsibility between vvjil, parents, guardians, and platform operators.
What vvjil Does
vvjil verifies the age of every player during account registration through mandatory government ID submission. Accounts belonging to individuals under 21 are immediately suspended. All deposits from under-age accounts are reversed. vvjil's marketing and advertising is targeted exclusively at adults aged 21 and above and does not use content designed to appeal to minors.
What Parents Can Do
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software on shared household devices to block access to online gambling sites. Keep your vvjil login credentials private and never share your account with younger family members. Talk openly with teenagers about the risks of gambling and make sure they understand that online gaming platforms are strictly for adults aged 21 and over.
