Support Resources for Filipino Players
You are not alone. Professional help is available across the Philippines.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Program
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a dedicated
Responsible Gaming program for all players in the Philippines. PAGCOR's program
includes a national self-exclusion registry — players who register with PAGCOR's
self-exclusion list are barred from all PAGCOR-regulated gaming venues and platforms,
including aaajljl Casino. This provides an additional layer of protection beyond
the in-account tools aaajljl Casino offers directly.
aaajljl Casino cooperates fully with PAGCOR's responsible gaming framework and
maintains its operations in compliance with all PAGCOR regulations governing player
protection, age verification, and problem gambling prevention. We actively cross-check
player registrations against the PAGCOR exclusion registry.
Getting Help in the Philippines
If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, the following
types of professional support are available across the Philippines:
- National Center for Mental Health (NCMH): The NCMH provides mental health support services including counselling for behavioural addictions. Their crisis hotline is available for anyone needing immediate support.
- Gamblers Anonymous Philippines: A fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope in order to recover from problem gambling. Regular meetings are held in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and other major cities.
- Local Government Health Centres: Barangay health centres and city health offices in Metro Manila and provincial capitals can refer individuals to appropriate counselling and mental health services at no cost.
- PAGCOR Player Welfare Programme: PAGCOR maintains a player welfare office that handles responsible gaming complaints, self-exclusion registrations, and referrals to professional support services.
Crisis Support
If you are in crisis or experiencing severe distress related to gambling, please contact the National Center for Mental Health crisis line at 1553 (available 24/7 within the Philippines, toll-free from PLDT and Globe landlines). Your mental health comes before any game.
Talking to Someone You Trust
Sometimes the most important step is simply telling someone — your asawa, a sibling,
a close barkada, or your parish priest — that gambling has become a problem.
Shame is one of the biggest barriers to getting help, and Filipino culture's
strong emphasis on family and community is actually a powerful asset when it comes
to recovery. You do not have to handle this alone.
aaajljl Casino's support team is also available 24/7 via live chat for any
player who wants to discuss their gaming habits confidentially. Our agents are
trained to handle responsible gaming conversations with sensitivity and without
judgment.
