Our Commitment
At 18jll, responsible gaming isn't something we put at the bottom of a page and forget about. It's built into how the platform works — from the account settings tools you can access anytime, to the way we communicate about promotions and outcomes.
For most people, playing slots, watching a live Baccarat table, or betting on a PBA game is genuinely fun. It's a way to enjoy a bit of excitement during downtime, whether you're in Manila, Cebu, or anywhere else in the Philippines. The problem starts when gaming stops being entertainment and starts feeling like something you need to do, or a way to recover money you've already lost. Wins are not guaranteed, and chasing losses almost always makes things worse.
The tools on this page — deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion, and others — are all available to you as a registered 18jll player. You don't need to be in crisis to use them. Many players set deposit limits from day one simply as a practical way to manage their gaming budget the same way they manage any other leisure expense.
If you ever feel that your gaming on 18jll is getting out of hand, the right step is to use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings immediately. You don't need to contact support first — you can lock your account directly from the settings page at any time. The exclusion takes effect right away.
For players under 21 years of age: 18jll is strictly for adults. The 21+ age requirement is enforced during account registration, and KYC identity verification is completed before your first withdrawal. If you believe a minor has accessed the platform, contact support via live chat immediately.
Self-Check: Is Gaming Still Fun?
Ask yourself these questions honestly. If more than two apply to you, it may be time to take a break or set stricter limits.
Do you spend more time or money on gaming than you originally planned?
Do you feel anxious or irritable when you can't play or when you lose?
Have you tried to cut down your gaming but found it difficult to do so?
Are you using money meant for bills, food, or other necessities to fund your gaming?
Do you find yourself gaming to escape stress, boredom, or problems at home or at work?
Do you feel you need to win back money you've already lost before you can stop?
Have the people close to you expressed concern about how much you play or spend?
If several of these resonate with you, consider setting a deposit limit or using the self-exclusion tool in your 18jll account settings.
Account Tools
All of these tools are available inside your account settings. You can enable or adjust them at any time without contacting support.
Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month directly from your account settings. Once a limit is active, it applies immediately. If you choose to increase a limit, a cooling-off period applies before the increase takes effect — decreases are immediate.
Set a maximum loss amount over a defined period. When your losses reach the limit you set, further wagering is paused until the period resets. This helps ensure that a single session doesn't wipe out more than you were comfortable losing.
Choose a session duration and receive a notification when you've been playing for that long. The reminder doesn't log you out — it simply prompts you to check in with how you're doing and decide whether to continue.
Take a short break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cooling-off period, you won't be able to deposit or place bets, but your account remains accessible for viewing your history or withdrawing your balance.
If you want a longer break, self-exclusion locks your account completely for a minimum of 6 months up to 5 years. During this period, you cannot log in, deposit, or wager. The exclusion cannot be reversed before the selected end date.
The 18jll support team is available around the clock via live chat inside your account. If you're concerned about your gaming habits or need help activating any of the tools above, reach out any time — no appointment needed.
Awareness
Problem gambling doesn't always announce itself clearly. These are some of the behavioural patterns that can indicate gaming has moved from entertainment to a concern — or something more serious.
| Behaviour | Level |
|---|---|
| Playing slightly over your planned budget | Concern |
| Feeling irritable when losing or unable to play | Concern |
| Gambling to recover previous losses ("chasing") | Serious |
| Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends | Serious |
| Using money for essential expenses to fund gaming | Serious |
| Borrowing money specifically to gamble | Serious |
| Gaming as the primary way to manage stress or anxiety | Serious |
| Inability to stop even when you want to | Serious |
Healthy Habits
These are practical habits that can help you keep gaming enjoyable over the long term — whether you're new to 18jll or a regular player.
Set a gaming budget before you start
Decide how much you're comfortable spending on gaming for the week or month — the same way you'd budget for a dinner out or a movie — and use the deposit limit tool to enforce it.
Never chase your losses
Chasing losses is one of the most common ways gaming turns into a problem. If you've hit your budget for the session, stop. Losses are part of how chance-based games work.
Take regular breaks during sessions
Step away every 30–60 minutes. Getting up, having water, or doing something else briefly helps you stay clear-headed and keeps gaming in perspective.
Keep gaming separate from other stressors
Avoid playing when you're upset, tired, or under financial pressure. Emotional states affect decision-making, and gaming to escape problems usually makes both worse.
Only use money set aside for entertainment
Rent, utilities, food, savings, and loan repayments come first. Gaming should only happen with money left over after all essential expenses are covered.
