Responsible Gaming
Gambling should be entertainment, never a way to make money or escape problems. JILIPHIL is committed to promoting safer play for everyone 21 and over.
Play within your limits
- Set a budget before you play and never chase losses.
- Set deposit and time limits in your account tools.
- Never gamble with money meant for bills, food or family.
- Take regular breaks; don’t play while upset or under the influence.
Signs of a problem
Spending more than planned, hiding play from family, borrowing to gamble, or feeling anxious about it — these are warning signs. You can self-exclude through your account settings at any time.
