Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be a form of entertainment—a fun pastime—not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play within your means, set limits, and never chase losses. If gambling stops being enjoyable or starts causing stress, it's time to pause and seek help.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years old to participate in any gambling activity on this website. In the Philippines, the legal gambling age is 21 for casinos operated by PAGCOR, but for online platforms and other licensed operators it is 18. Always verify your age and comply with local laws. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited and may lead to account closure and legal consequences.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you care about, consider seeking support:
- Chasing losses – returning to try to win back money you have lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
- Lying about how much time or money you spend gambling
- Gambling with money meant for bills, rent, or essentials
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
- Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop
- Neglecting work, studies, or relationships because of gambling
- Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
- Thinking about gambling constantly or planning the next session
- Experiencing feelings of guilt or shame after gambling
Self-Help Tools
Most reputable gambling platforms, including GameZone App, offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control. Use these features proactively:
- Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit daily, weekly, or monthly
- Loss limits – cap the amount you can lose over a set period
- Reality checks – receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing
- Time-out periods – take a short break from your account (24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-exclusion – block yourself from accessing the platform for a longer period (6 months, 1 year, or permanently)

These tools are available in your account settings. If you need help activating them, contact customer support.
