What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means enjoying casino games and sports betting as a form of entertainment while maintaining control over the time and money you spend. At ezjili, we recognize that for most players, gambling is a fun and exciting pastime. However, for some individuals, gambling can become problematic and lead to negative consequences.

ezjili is committed to promoting a safe and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. We work closely with PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) to ensure our platform meets the highest standards of player protection and responsible gaming practices. Our goal is to help you enjoy the thrill of online casino games and sports betting while staying in control.

Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling, is when gambling starts to interfere with your daily life, relationships, work, or financial stability. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you take action before the problem worsens. Here are some signs that gambling may be becoming a problem:

• Chasing Losses: Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've lost, often leading to even bigger losses.
• Gambling with Money You Can't Afford to Lose: Using money meant for rent, bills, food, or other essential expenses to gamble.
• Lying About Gambling: Hiding your gambling activity from family, friends, or colleagues, or lying about how much time or money you spend gambling.
• Neglecting Responsibilities: Missing work, skipping family events, or ignoring other important responsibilities because of gambling.
• Borrowing Money to Gamble: Taking out loans, borrowing from friends or family, or selling possessions to fund your gambling.
• Feeling Anxious or Irritable When Not Gambling: Experiencing withdrawal-like symptoms, such as restlessness, irritability, or anxiety, when you're not able to gamble.
• Gambling to Escape Problems: Using gambling as a way to avoid dealing with stress, depression, loneliness, or other emotional issues.
• Unable to Stop or Cut Down: Repeatedly trying to quit or reduce your gambling but being unable to do so, even when you know it's causing harm.

Tips for Staying in Control

Whether you're new to online gambling or a seasoned player, following these responsible gaming tips can help you enjoy ezjili safely and responsibly:

• Set a Budget: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing, and stick to that limit. Never gamble with money you need for essentials like rent, bills, or groceries.
• Set Time Limits: Decide in advance how long you'll play, and use ezjili's session reminder tools to help you stick to your time limits.
• Never Chase Losses: Accept that losses are part of gambling. If you lose, walk away and don't try to win it back by gambling more.
• Take Regular Breaks: Step away from the screen regularly to give yourself time to think clearly and avoid impulsive decisions.
• Don't Gamble Under the Influence: Avoid gambling when you're drinking alcohol or using substances that impair your judgment.
• Don't Gamble When Emotional: If you're feeling stressed, depressed, angry, or upset, it's not the right time to gamble. Wait until you're in a calm, clear state of mind.
• Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Make sure gambling doesn't take over your life. Spend time with family and friends, pursue hobbies, exercise, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
• Keep Track of Your Activity: Regularly review your gaming history and transaction records on ezjili to stay aware of how much time and money you're spending.

How to Set Limits on Your ezjili Account

ezjili makes it easy to set deposit limits and manage your account settings. Here's how to set limits to help you stay in control:

• Log In to Your Account: Visit ezjili.cam and log in using your username and password.

If you need help setting limits or have questions about responsible gaming tools, contact our 24/7 customer support team via live chat or email.

Self-Exclusion: Taking a Break from ezjili

If you feel that gambling is becoming a problem, self-exclusion is a powerful tool to help you take control. Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily exclude yourself from ezjili for a set period of time, during which you will not be able to log in, deposit, or play.

ezjili offers the following self-exclusion options:

• 6 Months: A medium-term break to reassess your gambling habits.
• 1 Year: A longer break to focus on other priorities and seek support if needed.
• Permanent Self-Exclusion: A permanent closure of your account if you decide that gambling is no longer for you.

To request self-exclusion, contact our customer support team via email at [email protected] or through live chat. Clearly state your preferred self-exclusion period. Once activated, your account will be immediately suspended, and you will not be able to reopen it until the exclusion period expires (or permanently, if you choose permanent exclusion).

ezjili takes self-exclusion seriously and will take reasonable measures to prevent you from opening new accounts during your exclusion period. However, you are ultimately responsible for not attempting to circumvent self-exclusion by creating new accounts with different details.

Age Restriction: 21+ Only

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online gambling is strictly prohibited for individuals under the age of 21. ezjili enforces a strict age verification process to ensure that only adults of legal gambling age can create accounts and play on our platform.

During the registration process, you will be required to provide valid identification documents (such as a government-issued ID, passport, or driver's license) to verify your age and identity. Accounts found to belong to individuals under 21 years of age will be immediately closed, and any funds will be forfeited.

We encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in monitoring their children's internet usage and to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling sites.
