Our Commitment to Player Safety
pkjili is licensed and regulated by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation), which requires all licensed operators to implement responsible gaming measures. We take this responsibility seriously and have developed comprehensive policies and tools to help players enjoy gaming in a safe and controlled manner.
While the vast majority of our players gamble responsibly as a form of entertainment, we recognize that for some individuals, gambling can become problematic. Problem gambling can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and income levels, and it can have serious consequences for individuals and their families. That's why pkjili is committed to early intervention, player education, and providing access to professional help when needed.
Our responsible gaming program is built on four pillars: prevention through education, early detection of problem gambling behaviors, self-help tools and player controls, and access to professional support services. We continuously review and improve our responsible gaming measures to align with international best practices and PAGCOR guidelines.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling is characterized by difficulty controlling gambling behavior despite negative consequences. If you or someone you know exhibits any of these warning signs, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more money and time gambling than you can afford
- Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression
- Lying to family, friends, or others about gambling activities
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund gambling
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling guilty, anxious, or depressed after gambling
- Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Chasing losses by gambling more in an attempt to win back money
Age Restriction: 21 Years and Above Only
pkjili strictly enforces a minimum age requirement of 21 years for all players. This policy is in accordance with Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations governing online gambling. Underage gambling is illegal and can have serious developmental and psychological consequences for young people.
How We Verify Age
During the account registration process, all users must provide their date of birth and submit valid government-issued identification documents for verification. Our KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures include:
- Verification of government-issued ID (passport, driver's license, UMID, SSS ID, postal ID)
- Cross-checking personal details against official records
- Facial verification to ensure the person registering matches the ID provided
- Immediate account suspension if age verification documents are incomplete or suspicious
Any player found to be under 21 years of age will have their account permanently closed, all winnings forfeited, and deposits refunded. pkjili reserves the right to request additional verification at any time to ensure continued compliance with age restrictions.
Parental Responsibility
Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software and internet filtering tools to prevent minors from accessing gambling websites. We recommend monitoring children's online activities and educating them about the risks of underage gambling. If you discover that a minor has accessed pkjili using false information, please contact our customer support immediately.
Self-Exclusion and Account Controls
pkjili provides a range of responsible gaming tools that allow you to control your gambling activity. These tools are designed to help you stay within your limits and take a break if gambling is no longer enjoyable.
Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion allows you to voluntarily suspend your pkjili account for a specified period or permanently. During a self-exclusion period, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access any pkjili services. Self-exclusion periods include:
- Short-term: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days
- Long-term: 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year
- Permanent: Indefinite self-exclusion with no option to reopen
To activate self-exclusion, contact our customer support team via live chat or email. Once confirmed, your account will be immediately locked. Self-exclusion cannot be reversed or lifted early. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, your account will be closed permanently and you will not be permitted to open a new pkjili account in the future.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control how much money you can add to your pkjili account. Once you reach your deposit limit, you will not be able to deposit more funds until the limit resets. Deposit limits can be decreased immediately but increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period before taking effect.
Loss Limits
Loss limits allow you to set a maximum amount you are willing to lose within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once you reach your loss limit, you will not be able to place further bets until the limit resets. This tool helps prevent chasing losses and ensures you don't spend more than you can afford.
Session Time Limits
Set session time limits to control how long you spend gambling in a single session. pkjili will automatically log you out when your session time limit is reached. You can set limits ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours. We also provide reality checks that display pop-up reminders showing how long you've been playing.
Wagering Limits
Control the maximum amount you can wager per bet or per day. Wagering limits help prevent impulsive large bets and encourage more measured play. Like deposit limits, decreases take effect immediately while increases require a 24-hour waiting period.
How to Set Your Limits
You can set responsible gaming limits through your account settings or by contacting customer support. To access your limits:
- Log in to your pkjili account
- Navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming
- Select the type of limit you want to set
- Enter the amount or duration and confirm
Alternatively, contact our customer support team 24/7 via live chat or email at [email protected] to request assistance with setting limits or activating self-exclusion.
Reality Checks and Session Reminders
When you're engaged in gaming, it's easy to lose track of time. pkjili provides automatic reality checks that display pop-up notifications at regular intervals to remind you how long you've been playing and how much you've spent or won during the session.
Reality checks appear at intervals of 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours (you can customize the frequency in your account settings). Each reality check shows:
- Total session duration
- Net win or loss for the current session
- Number of bets placed
- Options to continue playing, take a break, or log out
These reminders are designed to promote informed decision-making and encourage you to pause and reflect on your gambling activity before continuing.
Professional Help and Support Services
If you believe you may have a gambling problem, it's important to seek help from qualified professionals. pkjili partners with leading organizations in the Philippines and internationally to provide access to counseling, treatment, and support services.

Concerned About Someone Else's Gambling?
If you're worried about a family member or friend's gambling behavior, you're not alone. Problem gambling affects not just the individual but their entire family. Here's what you can do:
- Express your concerns in a calm, non-judgmental way
- Offer to help them access support services
- Set boundaries and don't enable their gambling (e.g., don't lend money)
- Seek support for yourself from organizations like Gam-Anon (support group for families of problem gamblers)
- Encourage them to contact pkjili customer support to activate self-exclusion or set limits
Tips for Responsible Gaming
Following these guidelines can help ensure that your gambling remains a fun and enjoyable form of entertainment:
- Set a Budget: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start playing, and stick to that budget. Never gamble with money you need for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.
- Set Time Limits: Decide how much time you want to spend gambling and set a timer. When the time is up, log out regardless of whether you're winning or losing.
- Don't Chase Losses: If you lose money, accept it and move on. Trying to win back losses by betting more usually leads to bigger losses.
- Take Regular Breaks: Step away from gambling every hour or so. Use break time to stretch, get some fresh air, or do something completely unrelated to gambling.
- Never Gamble Under the Influence: Avoid gambling when you've been drinking alcohol or using drugs, as impaired judgment can lead to poor decisions.
- Balance Gambling with Other Activities: Make sure gambling doesn't become your only form of entertainment. Maintain hobbies, social activities, and relationships outside of gambling.
- Keep Gambling in Perspective: Remember that gambling is entertainment, not a way to make money. The house always has an edge in the long run.
- Know When to Stop: If gambling is no longer fun, if you're spending more than you can afford, or if it's causing problems in your life, it's time to stop and seek help.
Protecting Your Account
Part of responsible gaming is keeping your account secure to prevent unauthorized access. pkjili recommends:
- Use a strong, unique password and change it regularly
- Enable two-factor authentication if available
- Never share your login credentials with anyone
- Log out after each session, especially on shared devices
- Regularly review your transaction history for any unauthorized activity
- Contact customer support immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised
