Our Commitment to Safe Play

jl1 is committed to providing a safe, fair, and enjoyable environment for all Filipino members. Gaming is meant to be a form of entertainment — and we want to make sure it stays that way for everyone on our platform. We understand that for a small number of people, gaming can become problematic — and we take that seriously. That is why jl1 provides practical tools and clear information to help every member make informed decisions about how they play. Our responsible gaming framework is built around three core principles: awareness, control, and support. We encourage all members to treat gaming as leisure, set personal boundaries before they start, and reach out whenever they feel they need help. If you ever have concerns about your own gaming habits or those of someone you know, the resources on this page are here for you.

Set Your Limits

Control how much you deposit and how long you play each session. Limits can be adjusted through your account dashboard at any time, giving you full ownership of your gaming budget.

Take a Break

If you feel you need time away from the platform, you can request a temporary cooling-off period or a longer self-exclusion. Your account will be suspended for the duration you choose, with no exceptions.

Get Support

Our support team is available to assist any member who has concerns about their gaming behaviour. You can also find links to professional help organisations that serve the Philippines community.

Warning Signs to Watch Out For

Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is one of the most important steps toward staying in control. The following behaviours may indicate that gaming has moved beyond healthy entertainment and into territory that needs attention. If any of these apply to you or someone you care about, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on jl1 or seek professional guidance.

Chasing Losses

Continuing to play in an attempt to recover money that has already been lost is one of the clearest warning signs of problem gambling. Losses are a normal part of gaming and should never be treated as debts to be recovered through further play.

Losing Track of Time

Spending significantly more time gaming than originally intended — or finding it difficult to stop once you have started — can be an early indicator that gaming habits need to be reviewed and adjusted.

Spending Beyond Your Budget

Using money set aside for essential expenses — such as rent, food, or bills — to fund gaming activity is a serious warning sign. Gaming should only ever be funded from discretionary income that you can genuinely afford to lose.

Withdrawing from Others

If gaming is causing you to withdraw from family, friends, or work responsibilities, or if you find yourself hiding your gaming activity from people close to you, these are signs that a healthy balance has been lost and support may be needed.

Tools Available to jl1 Members

Every registered member on the jl1 Philippines platform has access to a set of responsible gaming tools designed to help maintain healthy habits. These tools are available directly through your account dashboard and can be activated or adjusted at any time without needing to contact support.

You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your jl1 account to ensure you never spend more than you are comfortable with. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until a mandatory cooling-off period has passed — this prevents impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment. Reducing your limit, however, takes effect right away. We recommend setting a deposit limit as a first step when you register, so that your budget is defined before you start playing. This tool is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming within a healthy and enjoyable range.

Session time reminders allow you to set an alert that notifies you when you have been playing for a specified length of time. This is a simple but powerful tool for members who find it easy to lose track of time during a gaming session. When the reminder triggers, you are prompted to review whether you want to continue or take a break — the choice is always yours. We recommend setting a session reminder of no more than two hours for a balanced gaming experience. Staying aware of how long you have been playing is one of the easiest habits to build for responsible gaming.

A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to deposit and play on jl1 for a period of your choosing — typically between 24 hours and 30 days. During this time, your account remains accessible for viewing your history and balance, but no gaming activity is possible. This tool is ideal for members who feel they need a short break to reset their habits without committing to a full self-exclusion. At the end of the cooling-off period, your account automatically reactivates. You can request a cooling-off period at any time through your account dashboard.

Self-exclusion is a more permanent option for members who feel they need a longer break from gaming. You can request a self-exclusion period of six months, one year, or longer — and during this time, your account will be fully suspended with no possibility of reactivation until the period ends. If you choose self-exclusion, we will also remove you from any marketing communications for the duration. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them without delay. If you are considering self-exclusion, we also encourage you to reach out to a professional support organisation for additional guidance and assistance.

Where to Find Help in the Philippines

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional support is available. The following organisations provide confidential assistance to individuals and families affected by gambling-related issues in the Philippines. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness — and getting the right support early makes a real difference.

National Center for Mental Health (NCMH)

The NCMH provides mental health services across the Philippines, including support for behavioural issues such as problem gambling. Their crisis hotline is available to anyone who needs immediate assistance or guidance on where to seek further help. Reaching out to a trained professional is always the right first step when gaming stops feeling fun and starts causing distress.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous offers peer support meetings for individuals who want to address problem gambling in a community setting. The programme is free, confidential, and available in multiple locations across the Philippines. Many members find that sharing their experiences with others who understand the same challenges is one of the most effective forms of support available.
