Our Commitment to You

At jelevo, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a source of harm. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator serving Filipino players across Manila, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao, and the entire Philippines, we take our responsibility to protect players seriously. That's why we've built a comprehensive responsible gaming framework that includes player-controlled limits, self-exclusion options, reality checks, and direct access to professional support services.

Responsible gaming means understanding that gambling involves risk, setting limits before you play, recognizing the warning signs of problem gambling, and seeking help when you need it. jelevo provides the tools — but the most important decision is yours. If gambling is no longer fun, it's time to take a break.

Remember This

Gambling is not a way to make money. The house always has an edge. Games are designed for entertainment, not as a reliable income source. Never gamble with money you can't afford to lose, and never chase your losses. Set a budget, stick to it, and walk away when it's gone.

Age Verification: 21+ Only

Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations require that all players on licensed online gaming platforms be at least 21 years of age. This is not negotiable. jelevo conducts rigorous age verification checks during account registration and KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. You must provide a valid government-issued Philippine ID (Passport, Driver's License, PhilSys National ID, SSS/UMID, or other PAGCOR-accepted documents) to prove your age before you can deposit funds or place bets.

If jelevo has any reason to suspect that a player is under 21 years of age, the account will be immediately suspended pending verification. Confirmed underage accounts are permanently closed, all funds are forfeited, and the matter may be reported to PAGCOR and relevant authorities. Parents and guardians: please ensure that minors in your household do not have access to your jelevo account credentials or payment methods.

21+

Zero tolerance for underage gambling. Any player found to be under 21 will have their account closed immediately, with no refunds issued. Protecting minors is a legal and moral obligation we take seriously.

Player Control Tools

jelevo provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools that put you in control of your gambling activity. All tools are free to use and can be accessed directly from your jelevo account dashboard under the "Responsible Gaming" or "Account Settings" section. Once activated, these limits are enforced automatically by the jelevo system — even jelevo support staff cannot override them without following strict cooling-off protocols.

Deposit Limits

Set daily, weekly, or monthly caps on how much you can deposit into your jelevo account. Once you reach your limit, you will not be able to add more funds until the period resets. Deposit limits are a powerful way to ensure you never deposit more than you can afford to lose. Increases to deposit limits take effect after a 24-hour cooling-off period; decreases take effect immediately.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum net loss amount per day, week, or month. Net loss is calculated as total deposits minus total withdrawals during the period. When you hit your loss limit, you can continue playing with your existing balance, but you cannot make new deposits. This tool helps prevent chasing losses — one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum continuous play session duration (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours). When your session time expires, you will be automatically logged out of jelevo and must wait a designated cooling-off period (e.g., 30 minutes) before logging back in. This prevents marathon gaming sessions and encourages regular breaks.

Reality Checks

Enable pop-up notifications that appear at regular intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes, 1 hour) while you're playing. Reality checks display your current session duration, net win/loss, and total amount wagered. They serve as a "wake-up call" to help you stay aware of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent.

Cooling-Off Periods (Time-Outs)

Take a short break from jelevo by activating a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit, or play. Your account is temporarily suspended, giving you breathing room to reflect on your gambling behavior. After the cooling-off period expires, your account automatically reactivates — but you're always free to request another break or move to full self-exclusion.

Self-Exclusion (6 Months to 5 Years)

Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool. When you self-exclude, your jelevo account is permanently closed for a minimum period of 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, or up to 5 years — or permanently. During the self-exclusion period, you cannot log in, create a new account, receive marketing communications, or access jelevo in any way. Self-exclusion requests are irrevocable during the elected period. This tool is designed for players who recognize they have a serious gambling problem and need a complete break. To request self-exclusion, contact jelevo support at [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request."

How to Activate These Tools Log in to your jelevo account, navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, and select the tool you want to activate. Follow the on-screen prompts to set your limits. All tools take effect immediately (except deposit limit increases, which have a 24-hour delay). If you need assistance, contact jelevo support via live chat or email — our team is trained to help you set up responsible gaming controls with no judgment.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling — also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gambling — is a behavioral disorder that can have serious consequences for your finances, relationships, mental health, and overall well-being. It's important to recognize the warning signs early so you can seek help before the problem escalates. If you identify with several of the following behaviors, it may be time to reach out for support:

Gambling with money you can't afford to lose, such as rent money, bill payments, or funds set aside for your family's needs.

Chasing losses — continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you've already lost, often leading to even bigger losses.

Gambling for longer periods than you intended, losing track of time, or missing work, school, or family commitments because of gambling.

Feeling restless, irritable, anxious, or depressed when you try to cut down or stop gambling.

Lying to family, friends, or coworkers about how much time or money you spend gambling.

Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using credit cards to fund your gambling — especially if you're alr eady in debt.

Neglecting relationships with family and friends, or experiencing conflicts with loved ones because of your gambling behavior.

Gambling as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of depression, anxiety, guilt, or loneliness.

Hiding your gambling activity, clearing your browser history, or being secretive about your online activity.

If This Sounds Like You

Don't wait until the problem gets worse. Reach out for help today. Problem gambling is treatable, and early intervention leads to better outcomes. Contact the organizations listed below, or use jelevo's self-exclusion tool to give yourself a break while you seek professional support. There is no shame in asking for help — in fact, it's the strongest and smartest thing you can do.

Where to Get Help

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, professional help is available in the Philippines. These organizations provide free, confidential counseling, treatment programs, and support groups:

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Program

PAGCOR operates a Responsible Gaming and Anti-Illegal Gambling Advocacy Program that provides education, counseling referrals, and self-exclusion registration for Filipino players. Visit the PAGCOR website or contact their responsible gaming hotline for assistance. PAGCOR works with licensed operators like jelevo to ensure player protection standards are met.

National Mental Health Crisis Hotline

If you're experiencing a mental health crisis related to gambling, including suicidal thoughts or severe depression, call the National Center for Mental Health Crisis Hotline at 0917-899-USAP (8727) or the DOH Mental Health Hotline at 1553. Trained counselors are available 24/7 to provide immediate support.

Gamblers Anonymous Philippines

Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experiences, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem and help others recover from gambling addiction. GA meetings are held regularly in Metro Manila, Cebu, and other major cities. Contact them to find a meeting near you.

Professional Counseling Services

Licensed psychologists and addiction counselors in the Philippines can provide cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and other evidence-based treatments for problem gambling. Ask your primary care doctor for a referral, or contact private mental health clinics in Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Cebu, or Davao.

jelevo Support is Here for You If you need help activating responsible gaming tools, have questions about self-exclusion, or simply need someone to talk to about your gambling concerns, contact jelevo support at [email protected] or via 24/7 live chat. Our team is trained to handle these conversations with compassion and confidentiality. We will never judge you for seeking help — in fact, we applaud your courage.

Tips for Staying in Control

Even if you don't currently have a gambling problem, practicing responsible gaming habits from the start will help keep it that way. Here are some practical tips to ensure gambling stays fun and safe:

  • Set a budget before you play. Decide how much money you can afford to lose (not win) and treat that amount as the cost of entertainment. Never exceed your budget.
  • Set a time limit. Decide in advance how long you'll play (e.g., 1 hour) and stick to it. Use jelevo's session time limit tool to enforce this automatically.
  • Never gamble when you're upset, stressed, or under the influence. Gambling should be a calm, rational decision, not an emotional response or a way to escape problems.
  • Don't chase losses. Accept that losing is part of gambling. If you've lost your budgeted amount, walk away. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses.
  • Take regular breaks. Step away from the screen every 30 minutes to an hour. Stretch, get some water, check in with reality. Continuous play increases the risk of losing track of time and money.
  • Balance gambling with other activities. Don't let gambling become your only hobby or social outlet. Maintain relationships, exercise, pursue other interests, and keep gambling in perspective.
  • Keep gambling and alcohol separate. Drinking impairs judgment and makes it harder to stick to your limits. If you're going to gamble, stay sober.
  • Never borrow money to gamble. If you don't have the cash on hand, you can't afford to gamble. Period. Don't use credit cards, loans, or borrow from friends and family to fund gambling.
  • Celebrate wins, but don't expect them. If you win, great — withdraw some or all of it and enjoy it. But remember that wins are not guaranteed and the odds are always against you in the long run.
