Play Smart — Responsible Gambling Resources
Gambling should be entertainment, not a way to solve money problems. If it stops feeling like entertainment, help is available — and it's free.
Self-Exclusion Program
PAGCOR's self-exclusion program lets you request exclusion from licensed gambling platforms for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. The first 6-month exclusion period is irrevocable once requested — it cannot be reversed early. Family members can also apply for exclusion on behalf of a spouse, child, or parent. Contact the operator's support team directly, or PAGCOR, to start the process.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Betting more than you planned to, or chasing losses with bigger bets
- Borrowing money or selling things to fund gambling
- Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you're spending
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or unable to stop when you try to cut back
If any of these sound familiar, calling the helpline above is a reasonable next step, not an overreaction.
Age Requirement
21 years old and above — applied across every operator and game type discussed on this site.
Our Commitment
This site does not knowingly target self-excluded individuals or anyone under the legal age. We link only to PAGCOR-verified licensed operators and prioritize accurate, current responsible-gambling information over promotional content.
