Responsible Gaming
at lgplay
Gaming on lgplay should always be fun — a form of entertainment, not a way to earn income or escape from problems. As a PAGCOR-regulated platform, lgplay is fully committed to responsible gaming practices that protect Filipino players and their families. We provide tools, resources, and direct support so that every player can stay in control of their gaming experience.
How lgplay Keeps You Protected
lgplay's responsible gaming framework is built around PAGCOR's player protection requirements and international best practices. Every tool below is available to all registered players — free of charge, anytime.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel your gaming is getting out of hand, lgplay's self-exclusion tool lets you voluntarily suspend your account for a chosen period — from 30 days up to permanent exclusion. Once activated, self-exclusion cannot be reversed during the chosen period. Contact our support team or use your account settings to apply this immediately.
Deposit Limits
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your lgplay account to manage your spending. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and cannot be increased for 72 hours — giving you a built-in cooling-off period before any changes to higher amounts take effect. Decreasing a limit takes effect right away.
Session Time Limits
You can set a maximum session duration on lgplay so that the platform automatically notifies you — or logs you out — when you have been playing for your chosen length of time. This is especially useful for players who lose track of time during extended bingo or slot sessions. Short breaks make for healthier, more enjoyable gaming.
Reality Check Reminders
lgplay's Reality Check feature sends you a pop-up notification at regular intervals you define — every 30, 60, or 90 minutes — summarising how long you have been playing and your net gaming result for that session. These reminders help you stay grounded and make informed decisions about whether to continue or take a break.
Loss Limits
In addition to deposit limits, lgplay allows you to set a maximum loss threshold per day, week, or month. Once you reach that threshold, your access to real-money games is automatically paused for the remainder of the period. This puts a firm financial boundary in place, regardless of how tempting it is to chase losses in the moment.
PAGCOR Compliance
lgplay operates under a PAGCOR gaming license and adheres to PAGCOR's Responsible Gaming Framework, which mandates player protection tools, mandatory age verification, KYC compliance, and regular audits. lgplay's responsible gaming policies are reviewed regularly to remain aligned with PAGCOR guidelines and Philippine law.
21 and Above — No Exceptions
Under PAGCOR regulations and Philippine law, online gaming is strictly prohibited for individuals under the age of 21. This is not just a policy preference — it is a legal requirement that lgplay enforces rigorously across every aspect of the platform. No one under 21 may register an lgplay account, access real-money games, or make deposits.
Every registration on lgplay is subject to mandatory Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. You will be required to submit a valid government-issued Philippine ID — such as a passport, UMID, PhilSys National ID, driver's license, or voter's ID — before your account is approved for real-money play. Our KYC process confirms both your identity and your date of birth.
If lgplay identifies or receives a credible report that an account holder is under 21 years of age, the account is immediately suspended, all funds are frozen pending investigation, and the matter is escalated to PAGCOR as required. We take underage gaming very seriously — both because it is the law, and because we genuinely care about the well-being of young Filipinos.
Under 21? You are not permitted to use lgplay. If you know someone under 21 who is attempting to access online gaming, please report it to us at [email protected] immediately. We will act on all reports.
Are You Gambling Responsibly?
Answer honestly. If you answer "Yes" to two or more of the questions below, we strongly encourage you to use lgplay's responsible gaming tools or speak with a professional counsellor.
-
1
Do you spend more time or money on gaming than you originally intended — and find it difficult to stop once you've started?
-
2
Do you find yourself chasing losses — betting more to try to win back money you've already lost?
-
3
Has gaming caused tension, arguments, or concern in your relationships with family members, a partner, or close friends?
-
4
Have you borrowed money, sold possessions, or missed bill payments in order to fund your gaming activity?
-
5
Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you are not gaming, or when you try to reduce or stop your gambling?

Have you hidden the extent of your gaming activity from people close to you because you were worried about their reaction?
How to Set Up Self-Exclusion on lgplay
Requesting a self-exclusion from lgplay is straightforward and takes only a few minutes.

If you opt for permanent exclusion, your account will be closed and your personal data handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
You can also request self-exclusion directly by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Self-Exclusion Request". Our team will process it within one (1) business hour during operating hours.

Principles of Responsible Gaming
Gaming on lgplay is entertainment — the same way watching a movie at SM Cinema in Makati or catching a PBA game at the Smart Araneta Coliseum is entertainment. It comes with a cost, and the outcome is uncertain. Understanding this from the start is the foundation of responsible gaming. When you play on lgplay, you are paying for the experience, not investing in a guaranteed return.
Set a Budget Before You Start
Decide how much you are comfortable spending before you log in to lgplay. Treat that amount exactly like a budget for a night out — once it is gone, it is gone, and that is perfectly fine. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose. This means not using rent money, grocery funds, SSS contributions, or emergency savings for gaming. Set your lgplay deposit limit to match your entertainment budget, and stick to it.
Gaming Is Not a Way to Earn Money
Slots, bingo, and casino games are governed by random number generators and mathematical odds that always favour the house over the long run. While wins do happen — and lgplay is proud of its fair-play certification — no strategy, pattern, or system can reliably overcome the house edge over time. If you find yourself playing primarily to make money or to pay debts, this is a warning sign that your relationship with gaming has become unhealthy.
Never Chase Losses
One of the most common and damaging patterns in problem gambling is chasing losses — continuing to play in the hope of winning back money you have already lost. This behaviour almost always results in larger losses. If you have hit your loss limit or your budget for the session, stop. Log out, take a walk, call a friend, or do something else entirely. The games on lgplay will still be there tomorrow.
Balance Gaming with Other Activities
Healthy gaming is part of a balanced life, not a replacement for it. If you find that gaming is taking time away from work, family, studies, or social activities you used to enjoy — or if people close to you in Cebu, Davao, or wherever you are in the Philippines have expressed concern — it is worth taking a step back and reassessing how much time and money gaming is taking from your life.
Know When to Seek Help
Problem gambling is a recognised condition, and there is absolutely no shame in asking for support. lgplay actively encourages any player who is struggling to reach out — to us, to a trusted family member, or to a professional organisation. The support resources section below lists organisations that offer confidential, non-judgmental help to Filipino players dealing with gambling-related difficulties.
lgplay's Promise to Players
lgplay will never send promotional messages to a player who has set a self-exclusion or cooling-off period. Marketing communications are automatically suppressed for all players who have activated any responsible gaming limit. This is enforced at the system level, not manually.
