Responsible Gaming
Gaming at ttlj is meant to be fun, social, and exciting — not a source of stress or harm. We take that seriously. This page covers everything you need to know about staying in control, the tools we offer, and where to get help if you need it.
Gaming Should Feel Good
At ttlj Casino, we want every Filipino player to have a genuinely enjoyable time on our platform — whether that's betting on PBA games, spinning slots, playing bingo, or trying their luck at live casino tables. The entertainment value is real, and for the vast majority of players, online gaming stays exactly that: entertainment.
But we also know that for a small number of people, gambling can shift from a leisure activity into something that causes real problems — financially, emotionally, and in relationships. Recognising the early signs is the most important first step.
Problem gambling doesn't always look dramatic. It often starts quietly — extending a session a little longer, chasing a loss "just this once," or finding it harder to stop when you planned to. If any of this sounds familiar, this page is for you. ttlj has the tools, and help is available.
Remember: seeking help is not a sign of weakness. It's a sign that you're taking your wellbeing seriously — and that is something we fully support.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- Spending more money on gaming than you planned or can afford
- Chasing losses by placing bigger and bigger bets
- Feeling irritable or anxious when not able to play
- Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities to game
- Borrowing money or selling belongings to fund gaming
- Lying to family members about how much you play or spend
- Using gaming as a way to escape stress or negative emotions
- Unable to stop even when you want to or try to
- Spending significantly more time gaming than you intended
- Thinking about gaming constantly, even when doing other things
If you recognise two or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, we encourage you to use ttlj's responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team. There is no shame in taking a step back.
Built-In Tools to Keep You in Control
Every ttlj Casino account comes with a full suite of responsible gaming controls. You set the limits — we enforce them automatically.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much Philippine Peso (₱) you can deposit into your ttlj account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Increases take 7 days to apply; decreases take effect immediately.
Loss Limits
Cap the total amount you are allowed to lose within a set time window. If your net losses hit that ceiling within the defined period — daily, weekly, or monthly — your gaming session will be paused automatically. This is one of the most effective tools for staying within a safe budget.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum session duration. When your time is up, you will receive an alert reminding you that your session has reached its limit. This is particularly useful for players who find it easy to lose track of how long they have been playing — a very common experience across all age groups.
Cooling-Off Periods
Need a short break without fully closing your account? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your ability to log in and place bets. Choose from 24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, all promotional communications from ttlj will also be paused.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel you need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion is available. You can exclude yourself from the ttlj Platform for 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion is enforced immediately upon request and cannot be reversed during the chosen period.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable pop-up reminders at regular intervals during your gaming sessions. These reminders display how long you have been playing, how much you have wagered, and your net win or loss for the session. A simple pause for perspective can make a significant difference.
When You Need More Than A Pause
Self-exclusion is for players who have recognised that gaming has become a problem and need a firm, enforced boundary — not just a gentle reminder. It is one of the strongest tools available and ttlj takes every self-exclusion request seriously.
When you self-exclude, your account is immediately deactivated. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets for the duration of your chosen exclusion period. Our systems will also flag your account to prevent any accidental re-registration during that window.
Any verified real-money balance remaining in your account at the time of self-exclusion will be returned to you via your registered payment method — whether that's GCash, PayMaya, or your BPI or BDO account — after the required verification checks are completed.
How to Self-Exclude
Follow these steps to activate self-exclusion on your ttlj account:
-
1Log into your ttlj Casino account and navigate to Account Settings.
-
2Select Responsible Gaming from the menu, then choose Self-Exclusion.
-
3Choose your preferred exclusion duration from the available options.
-
4Confirm your decision. Your account will be suspended immediately upon confirmation.
-
5Alternatively, contact our 24/7 support team directly — we will process your self-exclusion request right away, no account login required.
Is My Gaming Under Control?
Honest self-reflection is the most powerful tool any player has. The questions on the right are not a clinical diagnosis — they are a simple check-in to help you assess where you stand right now.
Read each question carefully and answer it honestly — not how you wish things were, but how they actually are. If you find yourself answering "yes" to several of them, that's a signal worth taking seriously.
ttlj Casino's support team is available 24/7 on Philippine Standard Time, and there is no judgment — only support. Reaching out is the right move, not a shameful one. Maraming Filipino players have made that call and come out stronger for it.
Have you ever spent more time or money gaming than you originally planned for that session?
Have you ever returned to gaming the day after a loss specifically to try to win back what you lost?
Have you found yourself thinking about gambling when you're doing other things — at work, with family, or trying to sleep?
Have you hidden or downplayed your gaming activity from people close to you, such as family members or a partner?
Have you ever borrowed money, skipped a bill, or sold something to have funds available for gaming?
Have you tried to cut back or stop gaming and found it difficult or impossible to stick to that decision?
Has gaming ever caused arguments, tension, or distance in your relationships with family or friends?
If you answered "yes" to any two or more of these questions, we strongly encourage you to speak with our responsible gaming team or use our self-exclusion tools. Help is always available — contact us at [email protected]
Help Beyond ttlj
ttlj's responsible gaming tools are a strong starting point — but sometimes professional support from outside the platform is the right next step.
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Program
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) maintains an official responsible gaming framework that all regulated gaming operators in the Philippines are aligned with. PAGCOR's program includes player registration in the exclusion database, counselling referrals, and education initiatives designed to reduce gambling-related harm across the country.
ttlj Casino is committed to operating within the responsible gaming standards set out by PAGCOR. If you self-exclude from ttlj and wish to extend that exclusion across other licensed Philippine gaming venues and platforms, you may contact PAGCOR directly to register in their national responsible gaming program.
Additional support resources available in the Philippines include:
-
PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Hotline — Contact PAGCOR directly for national self-exclusion registration and counselling referrals. Details are available through your local PAGCOR office in Manila, Cebu, Davao, or Makati.
