At 8jili, we believe that gaming should always be fun — never a source of stress, financial strain, or harm. We are committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support they need to keep their gaming experience safe, balanced, and enjoyable. Because when you play responsibly, the game stays great.
Our Pledge
8jili takes responsible gaming seriously. Here is what we actively do to protect every player on our platform.
Real-money gaming on 8jili is exclusively for players aged 21 and above, in line with Philippine gambling regulations. We verify age during registration and conduct ongoing KYC checks to keep minors off the platform.
If you feel you need a break, 8jili's self-exclusion feature lets you temporarily or permanently close your account at no cost. Once activated, you will not be able to log in or receive promotional materials during the exclusion period.
Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits directly from your account settings. These limits help you stay in control of your spending and ensure that gaming remains within your personal budget — whether you're using GCash, BDO, or BPI.
8jili can send you session duration alerts so you always know how long you've been playing. Taking regular breaks keeps the experience fresh and prevents the kind of fatigue that leads to poor decisions at the table.
At regular intervals, 8jili displays a reality check notification showing your session time and net gaming activity. This gentle reminder helps you stay grounded and make informed choices about whether to continue playing.
Our customer support team is trained to recognize signs of problem gambling and to respond with empathy and practical guidance. If you reach out for help, you will be treated with respect and connected to the right resources.
Player Controls
8jili puts you in the driver's seat. All of our responsible gaming tools are available directly inside your account — no need to call anyone or wait for approval. You can activate limits and controls instantly, any time of day or night.
We strongly encourage every player — whether you're a casual weekend bettor in Cebu or a regular slots player in Manila — to explore these tools and set boundaries that match your lifestyle and budget. Gaming is most enjoyable when it stays within your comfort zone.
Need help activating any of these tools? Our support team is available 24/7. Reach us at [email protected] and we'll walk you through the process.
Cap how much you can deposit per day, week, or month. Once set, limits take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 24-hour cooling-off period — a deliberate design choice to prevent impulsive decisions. Works with GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank.
Set a maximum amount you are comfortable losing within a given period. When you reach your loss limit, 8jili will automatically prevent further play until the limit period resets. This is one of the most effective tools for keeping gaming affordable.
Take a short break from gaming — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks — without permanently closing your account. During a cool-off period, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. All promotional communications are also paused automatically.
For players who need a longer or permanent break, self-exclusion closes your 8jili account for a minimum of 6 months or permanently. This is a serious commitment — once activated, it cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Contact our support team to initiate self-exclusion.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, so it's important to recognize the early warning signs. If any of the following sound familiar, it may be time to take a step back and seek support.
Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, or chasing losses to try to win back what you've lost.
Borrowing money from family, friends, or using credit to fund your gaming activity.
Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not able to play, or when you try to cut down.
Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gaming.
Lying to family members or hiding the extent of your gaming activity from people close to you.
Continuing to gamble even after experiencing significant financial losses or personal consequences.
Using gaming as a way to escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or other personal problems.
Self-Check
If you answer "yes" to two or more of these questions, we encourage you to reach out to our support team or a professional counselor.
Have you ever felt the need to bet more and more money to get the same level of excitement?
Have you ever tried to cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to stop?
Have you ever gambled to escape from problems or to relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, or depression?
After losing money, have you felt the urge to return as soon as possible to win it back?
Have you ever risked or lost an important relationship, job, or opportunity because of gambling?
Have you ever asked someone to lend you money or sold personal belongings to fund gambling?
Remember: Recognizing a problem is the first and most important step. 8jili's support team is here to help — no judgment, no pressure. Reach out at [email protected] any time.
Stay in Control
Follow these practical guidelines to keep your 8jili experience fun, safe, and sustainable for the long term.
Decide how much you can comfortably afford to spend before you open the app. Treat it like entertainment money — the same way you'd budget for a night out in BGC or a movie in Makati. Never play with money meant for rent, bills, or family needs.
Gaming outcomes are determined by chance. Treat any winnings as a bonus, not an expected income. If you find yourself relying on gaming to cover expenses, that's a sign to step back and reassess.
Step away from the screen regularly — even a short break every hour makes a difference. Use 8jili's session reminders to keep track of time. Fatigue and prolonged play can cloud your judgment and reduce enjoyment.
One of the most common traps in gambling is trying to win back money you've already lost. Accept losses as part of the game and stick to your pre-set budget. Chasing losses almost always leads to bigger losses.
Avoid gaming when you're tired, stressed, emotionally upset, or under the influence of alcohol. These states impair decision-making and can lead to bets you wouldn't normally make. Play with a clear head for the best experience.
Keep gaming as one of many leisure activities in your life — not the only one. Spend time with family in Quezon City, catch a PBA game, or explore other hobbies. A balanced lifestyle is the best foundation for responsible gaming.
