How to block your account for 24 hours or up to 5 years
If you feel that playing slots, fishing games, or live cards is hurting your savings, bills, or family time, you can block your access right away:
- 24-Hour Live Chat Lock: Message customer support and ask for a Responsible Gaming Account Lock. Your account will be locked within 24 hours across both mobile browsers and the Android APK or iPhone shortcut.
- National PAGCOR Self-Exclusion (OSEA): Apply online at osea.pagcor.ph with one valid ID to block yourself across all PAGCOR-regulated sites for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years.
- Family Exclusion Program: A spouse, parent, or adult child can also apply through PAGCOR to bar a family member who is struggling with problem gambling.
Simple pocket-money rules before you cash in
Whether you play Boxing King, Golden Empire, Super Ace, or live baccarat, the math always favors the house over time. Keep yourself safe with these four habits:
- Never touch money meant for rent, electric bills, food, school tuition, or family savings on the 15th and 30th payday.
- Decide your exact GCash or Maya cash-in limit before you start, and never make a second deposit on the same day to chase losses.
- Set a 45-minute alarm on your phone so you do not lose track of time.
- Read bonus turnover rules before claiming promos so you never feel forced to keep spinning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the legal minimum age for online gaming in the Philippines?
Under Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) rules and Philippine law, you must be at least 21 years old to register or play on any gaming site. Anyone under 21, students, and government or military personnel are strictly not allowed to play.
How do you block your own account through PAGCOR OSEA or live chat?
You can apply for official self-exclusion online at the PAGCOR OSEA website by uploading a valid government ID and picking a block period of 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. You can also ask operator live chat for a 24-hour account lock.
Who can you call in the Philippines for free help with gambling problems?
Filipino players and family members can call the PAGCOR Responsible Gaming desk at (02) 8521-1551, reach the National Center for Mental Health 24/7 crisis hotline at 1553 (or 0917-899-8727), or join free recovery meetings through Gamblers Anonymous Philippines.
Why should you set a strict cash-in limit before you start spinning?
Setting a firm Peso cash-in limit before your first spin keeps your budget safe while your mind is calm. Once you start playing fast slots or live cards, a losing streak can tempt you to make an unplanned second deposit on GCash.
