Responsible Gaming
at chatjl
At chatjl, we believe that gaming should always be a fun and entertaining activity — not a source of stress or financial hardship. We are committed to providing Filipino players with the tools, resources, and support they need to keep their play safe, controlled, and enjoyable. This page outlines everything you need to know about responsible gaming at chatjl.
chatjl's Safe Play Pledge
We are dedicated to being your partner in responsible gaming. Our tools are built so that you stay in control at all times — because your wellbeing always comes first.
Understanding Responsible Gaming
Responsible gaming means making informed choices about how you play. It means setting personal boundaries, understanding the odds, and treating online casino games as a form of entertainment — not as a way to make money or escape problems.
At chatjl, we actively promote a culture of responsible gaming across all our platforms — from JILI slots and live dealer tables to bingo, fish-shooting games, and sports betting on PBA, NBA, and UFC. Whether you're playing from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, or Makati, our responsible gaming tools are always available to you.
Important: chatjl strictly enforces the 21+ age requirement in accordance with PAGCOR-aligned gaming regulations. Players must be at least 21 years of age to register and play on chatjl.app. Age verification is mandatory during the KYC process.
- Gaming is entertainment — treat it like you would a movie or a night out with friends, with a fixed budget in mind.
- Losses are part of the game — never chase losses by increasing bets or depositing more money than planned.
- Time awareness matters — it is easy to lose track of time when gaming. Use chatjl's session timer to stay on track.
- Talk to someone — if gaming is affecting your daily life, relationships, or finances, reaching out for help is the right move.
Your Limits Dashboard
Here's a visual example of the responsible gaming limits you can configure directly inside your chatjl account settings:
How to set limits: Log in to chatjl, navigate to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming, and configure your preferred deposit, loss, wager, and session time limits. Limits take effect immediately when reduced, and require a 24-hour cooling-off period when increased.
Responsible Gaming Tools
chatjl gives every Filipino player a full set of tools to stay in control of their gaming activity. All tools are available free of charge inside your account settings.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits in Philippine Peso (₱). Once your limit is reached, chatjl will automatically block any further deposits until the limit period resets. You can reduce your limit at any time with immediate effect.
Loss Limits
Define the maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a given period. When your net loss reaches the threshold you have set, chatjl will pause your gaming session and notify you before any further play is possible.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum duration for each gaming session. When you reach your time limit, chatjl will display a prominent reminder and give you the option to end the session. You can also enable automatic session logout when the limit is reached.
Cool-Off Period
Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your account remains open but you cannot deposit or place bets. The cool-off period cannot be cancelled once activated.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer break, chatjl offers self-exclusion periods of 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you cannot register a new account on chatjl.app.
Reality Check Reminders
Enable reality check pop-ups that appear at regular intervals during your gaming session — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes. Each reminder shows your net win/loss for the session and gives you the option to continue or end your session.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognising the early warning signs is the first step toward getting back in control. If any of the following apply to you or someone you know, please reach out for help.
Chasing Losses
Continuing to play or increasing bet sizes in an attempt to win back money that has already been lost is one of the most common signs of problem gambling. This behaviour often leads to larger losses.
Gambling Beyond Your Budget
Using money earmarked for rent, food, utilities, or family needs to fund gaming sessions is a serious warning sign. Gaming should only ever be funded from your disposable entertainment budget.
Hiding Your Gambling
Concealing the amount of time or money spent on gaming from family members, close friends, or a partner is a sign that your gaming may be out of balance with the rest of your life.
Gaming to Escape Problems
Using gaming as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems can quickly turn a recreational activity into a harmful habit. Gaming is entertainment, not a coping mechanism.
Inability to Stop
Feeling unable to stop playing even when you want to, or repeatedly failing to stick to the limits you set for yourself, indicates that gaming may have become compulsive rather than recreational.
Borrowing Money to Gamble
Taking out loans, borrowing from family or friends, or using credit cards to fund gaming sessions are clear signs that gambling has exceeded a healthy and sustainable level.
Request Self-Exclusion
Self-exclusion is a formal agreement between you and chatjl to suspend your account and prevent all gaming activity for a defined period. It is one of the most effective responsible gaming tools available and we strongly encourage any player who feels they need a break to use it without hesitation.
Once a self-exclusion is activated, chatjl will close your account, prevent new account registration using your details, and ensure you do not receive any marketing communications for the duration of the exclusion period.
Please note: Self-exclusion requests submitted via this form are processed by chatjl's responsible gaming team within 24 hours. For immediate account suspension, please contact our 24/7 live chat support directly on chatjl.app and request emergency self-exclusion.
- Available exclusion periods: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent
- All pending withdrawals are processed before account suspension
- Marketing emails and SMS are suppressed immediately upon request
