Responsible Gaming - Identifying Problem Gaming at 777Pinas

Is the game controlling you, or are you controlling the game? This is the core question that every player needs to ask themselves. The Responsible Gaming policy of 777Pinas was created to answer that question. This is not a dry set of rules, but a commitment to safety and a guiding principle to help you always stay in control of the game. Let’s explore the signs and tools in this 777PINAS Responsible Gaming document with us to ensure your experience is always positive.

777Pinas’s Commitment to Responsible Gaming

777Pinas has always been strongly committed to the practice of Responsible Gaming. We recognize that, although remote gaming is a legitimate and accessible form of entertainment, it can affect each person in different ways. For a few, it can negatively affect their finances and lives. Therefore, creating safeguards to encourage community responsibility is our mission. 777Pinas has proactively taken strong steps to address these concerns, ensuring our policies always adhere to the strictest standards of care, clearly demonstrating corporate social responsibility.

Identifying the Signs of Out-of-Control Gaming

Early identification of the signs is the most important step to prevent potential problems. Below are the signs that players need to look out for in themselves or their loved ones.

Changes in Emotions and Thoughts

The game must bring joy. Any feeling of guilt, frustration, or anxiety that appears after playing is a warning sign that needs to be considered. In addition, if the game takes over your life, causing you to talk about it more than usual or use it to escape personal problems, that is also an alarming signal. Extreme feelings of highs or lows related to wins and losses must also be noted.

Changes in Behavior and Time

One of the clearest signs is a change in daily behavior. Especially spending too much time on remote games, leading to the neglect of personal needs and responsibilities to family and work. The player might suddenly become secretive or lie to cover up the amount of time they have spent gaming. A feeling of emptiness or restlessness when unable to play is also a sign of dependency.

Changes Regarding Financial Matters

Unusual gambling-related expenditures are a red alert. When a person starts using credit cards, borrowing money, selling properties, or even stealing just to have money to play, the problem has become serious. Viewing gambling as a way to earn money to pay personal bills is a wrong and dangerous notion.

The Golden Principles for Safe and Fun Gaming

To ensure that gaming is always a positive experience, we encourage all players to apply the following principles:

Treat Gaming as a Form of Entertainment

Always remember that the nature of online games, from slots, fishing, cards, live casino, lottery, to betting on sabong, sports, and esports, is for entertainment. Absolutely do not see it as a primary source of income.

Set Clear Personal Limits

Before you start, set your own limits regarding the frequency of engagement and the maximum bet for each session. Most importantly, strictly adhere to this limit, whether you are winning or losing. Never try to chase the money you have lost.

Only Use Disposable Funds

You should only play with money that you are willing to lose without it affecting your daily life. Absolutely do not borrow money, including using credit cards, to play games. This is a boundary that must be respected.

Learn to Stop at the Right Time

Knowing when to stop is the most important skill of a responsible player. If you no longer feel happy, stop immediately. Never play games as a way of coping with physical or emotional problems.

Protecting Minors – A Shared Responsibility

777Pinas places the prevention of minors accessing gambling at the forefront.

777Pinas’s Verification Measures

We require all new players to go through a strict identity verification (KYC) process to ensure users are 21 years of age or older. Any suspicious accounts or those using fraudulent information will be checked and re-validated. All our promotional activities are aimed only at eligible potential players.

Advice for Parents

However, the effectiveness of this policy requires the joint effort of its patrons. We encourage parents to:

Not leave computers and mobile devices with an active 777Pinas account unattended.
Install parental control software to filter out gambling websites.
Create separate profiles for underage members on shared devices.
Never save the password on the login screen.
Educate children about the illegality of gambling for underage individuals.

Official Support Programs from PAGCOR

PAGCOR provides voluntary programs to help players control their behavior.

Player Exclusion: Players can apply for self-exclusion from all PAGCOR-licensed gaming establishments for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
Family Exclusion: Relatives (spouse, child over 18, parents) can apply to exclude a family member for 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year.
