At bossjili, we believe that gaming should always be an enjoyable and controlled activity. This page explains the tools, guidelines, and support resources available to every player in the Philippines so you can always stay in control of your experience.
bossjili gives every registered player the ability to set personal deposit, loss, and session time limits directly from their account settings. These limits are designed to help you stay within a budget that is comfortable for you, without relying on willpower alone. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased until a mandatory cooling-off period has passed. This ensures that decisions made in the heat of the moment do not override the boundaries you set when thinking clearly. If you are unsure what limits to set, our FAQ page has guidance to help you get started.
Sometimes the best thing a player can do is step away from the platform for a while, and bossjili makes this easy through our self-exclusion and temporary break features. You can request a cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to several weeks, during which your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to log in or place any bets. This feature is available to all registered players in the Philippines at any time, with no questions asked and no penalties applied. When your chosen break period ends, you can choose to reactivate your account or extend the suspension further if you feel you need more time. We strongly encourage players who feel their gaming habits are becoming difficult to manage to use this tool without hesitation.
For players who feel they need a longer-term solution, bossjili offers a permanent self-exclusion option that closes your account and prevents you from registering a new one using the same personal details. This is a serious step and is intended for players who believe that stopping altogether is the right decision for their wellbeing. Once permanent self-exclusion is activated, it cannot be reversed, and our team will not process any requests to reopen the account. We treat all self-exclusion requests with complete confidentiality and without judgement, because we understand that reaching out for help takes courage. If you are considering this option, we encourage you to also seek support from one of the organisations listed further down this page.
Recognising the early signs of problem gambling is one of the most important steps toward getting help. The following behaviours may indicate that gaming is starting to have a negative impact on your life or the lives of those around you.
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, please reach out for support. You are not alone, and help is available across the Philippines.
You do not have to face gambling-related concerns on your own. The following organisations provide free, confidential support to individuals and families affected by problem gambling in the Philippines.
The NCMH is the primary government institution in the Philippines providing mental health services, including support for behavioural issues related to gambling. Their crisis hotline is available around the clock and can connect you with trained counsellors who understand the challenges of problem gambling. Reaching out to the NCMH is completely free and confidential, and their staff are experienced in helping individuals from all walks of life across the Philippines. You can contact them by phone or visit their facility in Mandaluyong City if you prefer in-person support. Taking that first step to call is often the hardest part, but it is also the most important one.
Gamblers Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other in order to solve their common problem and help others recover from a gambling disorder. Meetings are held regularly in various locations across Metro Manila and other major cities in the Philippines, and participation is entirely voluntary and anonymous. The programme follows a proven twelve-step approach that has helped millions of people worldwide regain control of their lives and finances. Family members of problem gamblers are also welcome to attend Gam-Anon meetings, which are specifically designed to support loved ones. There is no cost to attend, and no prior commitment is required to join your first meeting.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a dedicated responsible gaming programme that provides resources, self-assessment tools, and referral services for players who may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties. As the regulatory body overseeing licensed gaming operations in the Philippines, PAGCOR takes player protection seriously and works with operators to ensure that responsible gaming standards are upheld across the industry. Their website offers downloadable guides and self-help materials that Filipino players can access at any time. If you believe a licensed operator is not complying with responsible gaming requirements, you can also file a complaint directly with PAGCOR. Their programme reflects the Philippine government's commitment to ensuring that gaming remains a safe and regulated activity for all adults.
