dmjili Responsible Gaming
Gaming should always be fun, exciting, and in your control. This page outlines how dmjili supports every player in the Philippines to game safely, set healthy limits, and seek help when needed.
At dmjili, we genuinely believe that gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment — not a source of stress, financial pressure, or personal harm. Our responsible gaming commitment is woven into every part of how we operate, from the tools we make available to the way our support team is trained to respond to players who may need guidance. We take our responsibility to Filipino players seriously, and we are committed to providing a safe, fair, and transparent gaming environment at all times.
We recognise that the vast majority of our members in the Philippines play purely for fun and recreation. However, we also understand that for a small number of people, gambling can become problematic — and we want to be part of the solution, not the problem. That is why dmjili has put in place a comprehensive set of responsible gaming measures that are readily accessible to all registered members, free of charge, at any time they need them.
Our platform complies with applicable Philippine gaming regulations and guidelines on responsible gaming practices. We do not market our services to individuals who have self-excluded or who have indicated they are experiencing difficulties related to gambling. We continuously review and improve our responsible gaming framework to ensure it remains effective, compassionate, and relevant to the real needs of our community of players.
Responsible gaming starts with self-awareness. Most people gamble casually and keep it fun, but it is important to recognise the early warning signs that gaming may be moving from recreation into something more harmful. The sooner you or someone you care about recognises these signs, the easier it is to take positive action before problems escalate.
Common warning signs of risky or problematic gambling behaviour include:
- Spending more money on gambling than you originally planned or can comfortably afford to lose.
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to recover money you have already lost.
- Feeling irritable, restless, or anxious when you are not able to gamble.
- Gambling to escape from personal problems, stress, boredom, or difficult emotions.
- Neglecting work, studies, family responsibilities, or social relationships because of gaming time.
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or using funds meant for essential needs in order to gamble.
- Lying to family members or friends about how much time or money you spend on gambling.
- Repeatedly failing in attempts to cut back or stop gambling altogether.
- Feeling a need to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to feel the same level of excitement.
If you recognise two or more of these signs in your own behaviour, we strongly encourage you to use the self-control tools available on dmjili or to reach out for professional support. There is no shame in asking for help — it is a sign of strength and self-awareness.
One of the most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable is to decide on clear personal limits before you start playing — and to stick to them consistently. dmjili encourages all members to think of gaming as a form of paid entertainment, similar to going to the cinema or dining out. Set a fixed budget for how much Philippine Peso (PHP) you are comfortable spending in any given session, week, or month, and treat that amount as an entertainment expense that you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life.
Here are practical tips for keeping your time and budget under control:
- Set a session budget in advance. Decide your maximum spend in PHP before you open the app, and stop playing once that amount is reached — regardless of whether you are winning or losing.
- Use a timer. Set an alarm on your phone to remind yourself when your planned gaming session should end. Taking regular breaks helps maintain perspective and prevents time from slipping away unnoticed.
- Never chase losses. Accept that losing is a normal part of gambling. Chasing losses almost always leads to spending more than planned and deepens the problem.
- Keep a gaming diary. Track how much time and money you spend each week. Seeing the numbers in black and white can be a powerful reality check and help you stay accountable to your own limits.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never use money intended for rent, food, utilities, school fees, or other essential expenses. Gambling funds should always come from your discretionary income.
- Avoid gambling when stressed, tired, or upset. Emotional states can cloud judgement and lead to impulsive decisions. Gaming is best enjoyed when you are relaxed, focused, and playing for fun.
dmjili provides a range of self-control tools designed to give you direct, practical control over your gaming activity. These tools are available to all registered members and can be activated at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team at [email protected]. We encourage you to use them proactively — you do not need to be in crisis to take advantage of these features; they are designed to help everyone maintain healthy gaming habits.
Deposit Limits
You can request a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your account, capping the maximum amount in PHP you are able to deposit within that period. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory waiting period to prevent impulsive decisions, while decreasing a limit applies right away.
Session Time Reminders
Set a maximum session duration and receive an in-platform notification when your chosen time limit has been reached. This reminder encourages you to take a break and step back from the screen, helping you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming over time.
Cooling-Off Period
If you feel you need a short break from gaming, you can request a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time your account will be temporarily suspended and you will not be able to log in or place any bets. This tool is ideal for players who recognise they need a brief pause to regain perspective.
Self-Exclusion
For players who feel they need a longer or permanent break from gaming, dmjili offers a self-exclusion option. Once activated, your account will be closed and you will be prevented from creating a new account for the duration of the exclusion period. Self-exclusion is a serious and effective step, and our support team will handle all such requests with the utmost care and confidentiality.
To activate any of these tools, log into your account and navigate to the Responsible Gaming section of your account settings, or contact [email protected] directly. All requests are handled promptly and treated with complete discretion.
dmjili is strictly an adult platform and is open only to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. We have zero tolerance for underage gaming and take active steps to prevent minors from accessing our platform. Our registration process includes a mandatory age verification step, and we reserve the right to request documentary proof of age — such as a government-issued ID — at any stage of the account lifecycle. Any account found to belong to a person under 18 will be immediately suspended and all associated funds and data will be handled in accordance with applicable Philippine law.
We strongly encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in preventing minors from accessing online gaming platforms. Practical steps you can take at home include: keeping your dmjili account credentials private and never sharing your login details with anyone, enabling parental controls on shared devices and browsers, having open conversations with young people about responsible behaviour online, and using dedicated parental control software to block access to gaming websites on devices used by minors. If you believe a minor has accessed or created an account on dmjili, please contact us immediately at [email protected] and we will investigate and act without delay.
Healthy gaming is part of a balanced lifestyle — not a substitute for it. At dmjili, we want every player in the Philippines to enjoy our platform as one of many enjoyable activities in their life, alongside time with family, friends, work, hobbies, and personal wellbeing. Gaming becomes problematic when it starts to crowd out other important aspects of life, which is why maintaining perspective is so important.
Ask yourself regularly whether gaming is still adding value and enjoyment to your life or whether it has begun to feel like an obligation or an escape. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, eating well, staying physically active, and nurturing your relationships with the people who matter most to you. Financial health is equally important — ensure that your gaming budget is truly discretionary and that your household essentials, savings, and financial commitments are always funded first.
If you notice that gaming is taking up more of your time, money, or mental energy than feels healthy, take it as a prompt to use our self-control tools, speak to someone you trust, or reach out to a professional. A short break can often be enough to reset your perspective and restore a healthy balance. Remember: the goal is for gaming to be a source of fun and excitement, not a source of stress or regret.
If you feel that gambling has become more than a hobby and is starting to cause real harm to your finances, relationships, mental health, or daily functioning, please do not hesitate to seek professional support. Asking for help is a courageous and responsible decision, and there are trained professionals and support organisations available in the Philippines who can provide confidential, non-judgmental assistance.
We encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out to a qualified counsellor, therapist, or support group specialising in problem gambling. Mental health professionals can help you understand the underlying factors driving problematic behaviour and provide practical strategies for regaining control. Many support services are free or low-cost and are designed specifically to help people in exactly your situation. You do not need to have reached rock bottom to seek help — early intervention always produces better outcomes.
dmjili also welcomes direct contact from players who are concerned about their own gaming behaviour. Our support team at [email protected] is trained to handle these conversations with empathy, professionalism, and complete confidentiality. We can assist you with activating self-exclusion, pointing you toward appropriate external resources, or simply listening and helping you decide your next step. You are not alone, and help is always available. For more general questions about our platform, you may also visit our FAQ page.
