Your wellbeing and a safe gaming experience come first
7JL supports responsible play and believes online betting should remain a form of entertainment, not a source of harm. We recognise that gaming may become difficult for some players, so we encourage habits and support options that can help you stay in control. Responsible gaming means knowing your limits, following a set budget, managing your time and noticing when play no longer feels healthy. Visit the 7JL homepage for account and platform information. This page is intended for Philippine adults aged 21 and above.
Important Reminder
Gaming should be for entertainment only. Never stake more than you can afford to lose, and do not treat betting as a way to earn income. If gaming is causing stress, debt or conflict, pause immediately and seek support. No result is guaranteed, and taking a break is always a sensible choice.
What Does Responsible Gaming Mean?
Responsible gaming means betting in a way that does not negatively affect your finances, relationships, work or wellbeing. Set a clear spending limit, decide how much time you can give to play, and keep gaming balanced with your daily responsibilities and other interests. For 21+ players, healthy participation includes treating every wager as entertainment, accepting that losses can happen and stopping when your personal limit is reached. Responsible play is about protecting your mental and financial wellbeing so gaming remains controlled and enjoyable.
Core Principles of Responsible Play
- Set a Budget: Decide in advance how much you can afford to spend, and keep strictly within that amount.
- Set a Time Limit: Choose how long you will play, and stop when your planned session ends.
- Do Not Chase Losses: Do not place larger or additional bets simply to recover money you have lost.
- Play with a Clear Mind: Avoid betting when you feel stressed, angry, upset or affected by alcohol.
- Maintain Balance: Keep gaming as one leisure activity among many, rather than letting it take over your routine.
- Reach Out for Support: If play feels difficult to control, ask for help early and without shame.
Recognising Problem Gaming
Problem gaming can develop when betting starts to affect important areas of your life. Possible consequences include financial pressure, relationship conflict, reduced performance at work and emotional or mental distress. Pay attention to changes in your behaviour, such as thinking about betting constantly, hiding your activity or using money meant for essential expenses. Recognising warning signs early may help prevent the situation from becoming more serious. Asking for help is a responsible and courageous step, not a personal failure.
Self-Check Questions
Answer the questions below honestly to consider whether your gaming remains under control:
If you answer “yes” to one or more questions, consider stopping play and seeking support as soon as possible. Speak with someone you trust, review your limits and contact available support through the platform where appropriate. If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health crisis, contact local emergency services or a qualified professional.
7JL Responsible Gaming Tools and Support
7JL encourages every player to stay in control and use responsible-play tools whenever needed. You can find these options in your account settings and activate them to manage your spending, set personal boundaries, and monitor your gaming activity. These features are designed to support a balanced experience, not to guarantee outcomes. Visit the 7JL homepage for account access and current platform information.
Deposit Limit
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit that matches your budget. Once the limit is reached, further deposits will be blocked until the relevant period ends. Use this feature to keep your spending planned and avoid depositing more than you can comfortably afford.
Betting Limit
Choose how much you can wager on each bet or within a set period. A betting limit can help you keep your activity within a planned budget and reduce the risk of chasing losses or placing more bets than intended.
Loss Limit
Set the maximum amount you are prepared to lose during your chosen period. When this limit is reached, further gaming will be restricted. Treat the limit as a firm budget boundary and never increase it to recover previous losses.
Session Time Limit
Decide how long you want to play before starting a session. When your selected time ends, your session will be closed or you will be logged out. Taking regular breaks and setting a time limit can help prevent extended play.
Time-Out
Temporarily suspend your account for a chosen period, from 24 hours up to six weeks. You will not be able to log in during the time-out. Use this option when you need a short break from gaming and want to remove the temptation to play.
Self-Exclusion
Choose a longer account break lasting six months or close your account permanently. During the selected period, access to your account will be restricted. This option may be suitable if gaming is becoming difficult to manage or is affecting your finances, relationships, or daily responsibilities.
How to Activate These Tools
Log in to your account and open the Responsible Play settings. Select the tool you want to use, then enter the limit or break period that suits you. New restrictions take effect immediately. Requests to increase a limit may require a 24- to 48-hour waiting period before they become active. Always review the current terms and account notices before making changes.
Protecting Minors
7JL is for adults aged 21 and above. Do not allow anyone under 21 to use your account or access gaming services. Keep your username, password, and other login details private, and never share them with children or other people. Parents and guardians should consider device-level parental controls and keep gaming apps and account information out of minors' reach. If you believe a minor may be using an account, contact 7JL support as soon as possible.
Help and Support
If gaming is causing stress, financial pressure, or problems in your personal life, consider taking a break and seeking professional support. Speaking with a trusted person or a qualified counsellor can be a useful first step. Confidential support services and peer groups may also be available in your area. Asking for help is a responsible decision, and you do not have to deal with the situation alone. 7JL encourages players to use time-outs, spending limits, or account closure when gaming no longer feels manageable.
Support Services
- Peer-support groups: Look for a confidential peer-support group or professional service that assists people experiencing gambling-related difficulties. Choose a provider that is appropriate for your location and needs.
- Counselling services: Free or confidential counselling and support may be available through community services, healthcare providers, or qualified professionals.
- Youth and family support: Young adults and families may be able to access specialised support through local health, counselling, or community organisations.
- Residential recovery services: Residential treatment and recovery programmes may be available for people who need structured assistance with gambling-related problems.
If you are in immediate danger, feel unable to stay safe, or are facing a serious crisis, contact local emergency services or go to the nearest hospital. For urgent account concerns, use the available 7JL customer-support channel and do not continue gaming while seeking help.
If you feel that you need immediate help, contact our support team or reach out to a local mental health hotline. Your wellbeing should always come first.
For Family and Friends
If someone close to you is experiencing gaming-related difficulties, your support can make a meaningful difference. Speak with them openly and without judgement, encourage them to acknowledge the issue, and help them look for professional guidance. You cannot force someone to change before they are ready, but patience and understanding can help them take the next step. Remember to look after yourself as well, since a loved one’s situation can affect your own wellbeing.
