Gaming should be fun, not stressful. At 998jl, we believe every Filipino player deserves a safe, fair, and controlled gaming environment. Here's everything you need to know about playing responsibly on our platform.
At 998jl, we take responsible gaming seriously. We know that for the vast majority of our players across Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, and Makati, online gaming is a fun and exciting pastime. But we also recognize that for some people, gambling can become a problem – and that's something we actively work to prevent.
998jl is committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment for all Filipino players. Our responsible gaming program is built around three core principles: prevention, protection, and support. We provide practical tools that put you in control of your gaming activity, and we make those tools easy to access directly from your 998jl account.
All players on the 998jl platform must be 21 years of age or older, in line with Philippine gaming regulations. We enforce strict age verification during the registration and KYC process, and any account found to belong to a minor will be immediately suspended and all funds returned.
Remember: Gambling should never be seen as a way to make money or solve financial problems. Always set a budget before you play, only wager what you can afford to lose, and treat gaming as entertainment – not income. If gaming stops being fun, it's time to take a break.
998jl operates in alignment with the responsible gaming framework established by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). PAGCOR is the primary regulatory body overseeing online gaming in the Philippines, and their responsible gaming guidelines form the foundation of our own policies and player protection measures.
These tools are built directly into your 998jl account. No need to contact support – you can activate them yourself, anytime.
Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your 998jl account. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 7-day cooling-off period.
Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a given period. When your net losses reach the limit you set, 998jl will automatically restrict further wagering until the period ends. This is one of the most effective tools for staying in control.
Set a maximum session duration so that 998jl will alert you – or automatically log you out – when you have been playing for your chosen length of time. Regular breaks help you stay aware of how long you have been gaming.
Enable periodic on-screen reminders that show you how long you have been playing and your net win/loss for the session. Reality checks are a simple but powerful way to stay grounded and make informed decisions during your gaming session.
Need a short break? Activate a cool-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During a cool-off, your 998jl account is temporarily restricted from wagering. You can still log in to check your balance or request a withdrawal.
If you feel you need a longer break or are concerned about your gaming habits, you can request a formal self-exclusion from 998jl. Self-exclusion periods range from 6 months to permanent closure. See Section below for full details.
Self-exclusion is a formal agreement between you and 998jl that restricts your access to the platform for a defined period. It is the strongest responsible gaming tool available and is recommended for players who feel their gambling is becoming difficult to control.
During a self-exclusion period, your 998jl account will be fully suspended. You will not be able to log in, deposit, or place wagers. Any pending bonuses will be forfeited. Your available balance will be returned to you via your registered payment method (GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, or Metrobank) within 5 business days.
Access your account settings from the main menu after logging in to the 998jl platform.
Find the Responsible Gaming section in your account settings. All safe play tools are grouped here for easy access.
Choose your exclusion period: 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. Permanent self-exclusion cannot be reversed.
Review and confirm your self-exclusion request. You will receive a confirmation email at your registered address. The exclusion takes effect immediately upon confirmation.
If you have difficulty activating self-exclusion through your account, contact our 24/7 support team at [email protected] and we will process your request manually within 24 hours.
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Recognizing the early warning signs is the first step toward getting help. Ask yourself honestly – do any of these apply to you?
Continuing to gamble in an attempt to win back money you have already lost, often leading to larger and larger bets.
Spending more than you planned or can afford, including using money set aside for rent, bills, or daily expenses.
Constantly thinking about gambling, planning your next session, or feeling restless and irritable when you are not playing.
Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming platforms like 998jl.
Missing work, school, or family obligations because of gambling, or feeling that gaming is more important than other areas of your life.
Taking loans, borrowing from friends or family, or using credit to fund your gaming activity on any platform.
If you recognize two or more of these signs in yourself, we strongly encourage you to use the 998jl self-exclusion tool or reach out to a professional support service. There is no shame in asking for help.
Answer these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to three or more, consider using 998jl's responsible gaming tools or seeking professional support.
