Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Escape

At pjtaya, we genuinely care about the wellbeing of every Filipino player on our platform — from Metro Manila to Cebu, Davao, and beyond. We believe that online gaming is a form of entertainment, and like all forms of entertainment, it should be enjoyed within healthy boundaries.

Problem gambling is a real concern in the Philippines, and pjtaya takes its responsibility seriously. We have invested in a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools and policies that give players full control over their gaming activity. We also work within the framework established by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to ensure our platform meets the highest standards of player protection.

Whether you are a casual player who enjoys a few rounds of bingo on weekends or a regular casino enthusiast, pjtaya's responsible gaming features are here for you — free of charge, easy to activate, and effective immediately.

Remember: Gambling is not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Every game on pjtaya is based on chance, and the house always has a mathematical edge over time. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.

Player-First Policy

pjtaya puts player wellbeing above revenue. Our responsible gaming tools are built into the platform core, not hidden in obscure settings menus.

Strict Age Verification

Every pjtaya player must verify they are 21 years or older. We use government ID verification to enforce this requirement without exception.

Session Time Controls

Set a maximum session duration so pjtaya automatically logs you out when your time is up — helping you avoid losing track of time during gameplay.

Spend Limit Tools

Set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit and loss limits in Philippine Peso (PHP) to keep your gaming budget firmly under control at all times.

Five Ways pjtaya Keeps You in Control

All of these tools are available free of charge to every registered pjtaya player. Activate them anytime through your account settings or by contacting our 24/7 support team.

01
Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your pjtaya account per day, per week, or per month. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits will be accepted until the period resets. Limit reductions take effect immediately; increases require a 24-hour cooling period to prevent impulsive decisions.

02
Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount in Philippine Peso (PHP) you are willing to lose within a set time period. When your loss limit is reached, pjtaya will automatically prevent further wagering until the period resets. This tool is especially useful for players who want to protect their bankroll during a losing streak.

03
Session Time Limits

Choose a maximum duration for each gaming session on pjtaya — from 30 minutes to several hours. When your session limit expires, you will receive a notification and be automatically logged out. This helps prevent the common experience of losing track of time while playing slots, bingo, or live casino games.

04
Cooling-Off Period

If you feel you need a short break from gaming, activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 48 hours, 1 week, or up to 6 weeks. During this period, your pjtaya account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place bets. The cooling-off period cannot be cancelled once activated.

05
Self-Exclusion

For players who feel they need a longer or permanent break, pjtaya offers self-exclusion for periods of 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently. Self-exclusion requests are processed within 24 hours. During the exclusion period, your account is fully suspended and cannot be reactivated — even at your own request. This is our most powerful player protection tool.

06
Reality Checks

Enable periodic reality check notifications that remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered during your current session. These pop-up reminders appear at intervals you choose — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — giving you a moment to pause, reflect, and decide whether to continue playing or take a break.

To activate any of these tools, log in to your pjtaya account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, or contact our support team via live chat 24/7. All tools are free and take effect immediately (except limit increases, which have a 24-hour delay).

How to Self-Exclude on pjtaya

Self-exclusion is the strongest responsible gaming tool available on pjtaya. If you feel your gambling is becoming a problem, we strongly encourage you to use it without hesitation. Here is how to activate self-exclusion on your pjtaya account:

1
Log in to Your pjtaya Account

Visit pjtaya and log in using your registered email and password. If you are having trouble accessing your account, contact our 24/7 live chat support team immediately for assistance.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu. Navigate to the "Responsible Gaming" tab within your settings panel.

3
Select Self-Exclusion

Choose "Self-Exclusion" from the list of available tools. Select your preferred exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent exclusion. Read the terms carefully before confirming.

4
Confirm Your Request

Confirm your self-exclusion request. pjtaya will process it within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation email once your account has been suspended. During this period, you will not be able to log in, deposit, or place any bets on pjtaya.

5
Need Immediate Help?

If you cannot wait or need your account suspended right away, contact our live chat support team directly. Our agents are trained to handle self-exclusion requests with sensitivity and urgency, and can suspend your account immediately upon request.

Important: Once a self-exclusion is activated on pjtaya, it cannot be reversed or shortened during the exclusion period — even if you request it. This is intentional, and it is there to protect you.

Signs You May Have a Problem

Problem gambling can affect anyone — regardless of age, income, or background. It often develops gradually, and many players do not realise there is an issue until it has already caused significant harm. pjtaya encourages all players to regularly check in with themselves using the warning signs below.

You spend more money on gambling than you originally planned, or chase losses by placing bigger bets to try to win back what you lost.
You feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gambling, or when you try to cut down or stop playing on pjtaya or other platforms.
You lie to family members, friends, or colleagues about how much time or money you spend gambling, or hide your gaming activity from people close to you.
You borrow money, sell possessions, or neglect bills and financial obligations in order to fund your gambling activity.
Gambling has begun to negatively affect your work, studies, relationships, or mental health, but you continue playing despite being aware of these consequences.
You use gambling as a way to escape from stress, depression, anxiety, or other personal problems rather than as a form of entertainment.

If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please reach out to pjtaya's support team or use our self-exclusion tool. You are not alone, and help is available.

Quick Gambling Check

Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly recommend using pjtaya's responsible gaming tools or seeking professional support.

Q1 Have you ever gambled with money that was meant for essential expenses like rent, food, or bills?
Q2 Have you ever tried to win back money you lost by gambling more — also known as "chasing losses"?
Q3 Do you find yourself thinking about gambling frequently, even when you are doing other things?
Q4 Have you ever felt the need to gamble with larger and larger amounts of money to get the same level of excitement?
Q5 Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to get funds for gambling?
Q6 Has gambling ever caused serious problems in your relationships, work, or financial situation?
Q7 Have you ever tried to stop or cut back on gambling but found it difficult or impossible to do so?
Q8 Do you feel anxious, depressed, or irritable when you are not able to gamble or when you try to stop?

Two or more "yes" answers? This may indicate a gambling problem. Please contact pjtaya support immediately to activate self-exclusion, or reach out to a professional counselling service. Remember — asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Government ID Verification

Parental Controls Advice

pjtaya recommends that parents and guardians use device-level parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gambling platforms, including pjtaya.
