NN777 Responsible Gaming Philippines — Set Limits and Find Help
Responsible gaming Philippines advice starts before the first bet: decide what you can spend and how long you will play. NN777 is for players aged 21+, and PAGCOR’s own page lists persons under 21 as prohibited from gambling in any gaming establishment and on any online gaming platform. The sections below use PAGCOR’s own programme, read on 1 October 2026.
Set your limits first
PAGCOR’s responsible gaming reminders are four short rules. Make them your own.
- Gambling is not a source of income.
- Set time limits for each gambling session.
- Never borrow money or use all of your resources for gambling.
- Do not chase your losses.
As an example, if you decide on ₱500 for an evening and a one-hour session, stop at whichever comes first. If the lobby offers account limits, Live Chat in its top bar can tell you what is available.
Warning signs
PAGCOR lists signs of problem gambling. Check yourself against them.
| Sign | What it looks like |

| Chasing | trying again and again to win back losses |

If several of these sound familiar, step away and use the help below.
PAGCOR’s programme and self-exclusion
PAGCOR says all gaming establishments and online gaming platforms must comply with its Responsible Gaming Code of Practice, which aims to minimise harm, prevent addiction and stop underage gambling. Its page also carries an Online Self-Exclusion Application portal and a family exclusion route: spouses, children or parents can apply to have a person excluded, using a form and an e-mail address given on PAGCOR’s page. Read the page on the PAGCOR website for the form and the portal link.
