Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment to You

iq771 is proud to be one of the Philippines' most trusted online gaming platforms, serving players from Manila, Cebu, Davao, Quezon City, Makati, and every province in between. We offer an exciting range of games — from slots and bingo to live casino, Dragon Tiger Luck, and sports betting — all designed to deliver world-class entertainment.

But entertainment only works when it's safe, balanced, and respectful of your wellbeing. That's why iq771 has built responsible gaming into the foundation of everything we do. We provide the tools, resources, and support you need to stay in control of your gaming experience — because the best wins are the ones that never cost you more than you can afford to lose.

This page explains iq771's responsible gaming policies, the self-control features available to all players, warning signs to watch for, and how to access help if you or someone you care about needs it. We encourage every player to read this page carefully and revisit it whenever you need a reminder.

Age Verification: 21+ Only

Under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations, online casino gaming, sports betting, and real-money wagering are restricted to individuals who are at least 21 years of age. iq771 strictly enforces this age requirement across the entire platform.

During the account registration process, all new players must provide valid government-issued identification — such as a PhilSys National ID, UMID card, passport, or driver's license — to verify their age and identity. Our Know Your Customer (KYC) team reviews every submission to ensure compliance before any deposits or wagers are permitted.

If iq771 discovers that a player has falsified their age or identity information, we will immediately suspend the account, void all wagers, and forfeit any balances. We may also report the matter to relevant authorities. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use parental control software on devices used by minors to prevent unauthorized access to online gaming sites.

What Is Problem Gambling?

Problem gambling — sometimes called compulsive gambling or gambling addiction — occurs when a person loses control over their gambling behavior, leading to negative consequences in their life, relationships, finances, or mental health. It can affect anyone, regardless of how often they play or how much they wager.

Common warning signs of problem gambling include:

• Spending more money or time gambling than you originally intended.
• Chasing losses by placing bigger bets in an attempt to win back money you've lost.
• Borrowing money, selling possessions, or neglecting bills to fund your gambling.
• Lying to family members or friends about how much you gamble or how much you've lost.
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you try to cut back or stop gambling.
• Gambling as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with negative emotions.
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gambling.
• Experiencing relationship conflicts, financial hardship, or legal trouble as a result of gambling.

If you recognize any of these signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to seek help early. Problem gambling is a recognized behavioral health condition, and effective treatment and support are available throughout the Philippines.

Responsible Gaming Best Practices

Whether you're a casual player who enjoys the occasional slot spin or a seasoned bettor who follows every PBA game and UFC fight card, these guidelines will help you maintain a healthy relationship with gaming:

• Set a budget before you play: Decide how much money you can afford to lose before you start, and never exceed that amount. Treat gambling as entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
• Set time limits: Decide in advance how long you will play, and stick to it. Use an alarm or timer if necessary. Taking regular breaks helps you stay clear-headed and avoid impulsive decisions.
• Never chase your losses: If you lose, accept it and walk away. Trying to win back losses by placing bigger or riskier bets almost always leads to bigger losses.
• Don't gamble when you're emotional: Avoid gambling when you're upset, stressed, depressed, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These states impair judgment and increase the risk of reckless behavior.
• Balance gaming with other activities: Make sure gambling doesn't crowd out other hobbies, social activities, or responsibilities. A healthy life includes time with family, friends, work, exercise, and relaxation.
• Keep track of your spending: Review your iq771 account history regularly to see how much you've deposited, wagered, won, and lost. Awareness is the first step to control.
• Use the tools iq771 provides: Take advantage of deposit limits, session reminders, self-exclusion, and reality checks — features designed specifically to help you stay in control.

Support Resources in the Philippines

If you believe your gambling has become a problem, or if a family member or friend is struggling, professional help is available across the Philippines. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. The following organizations can provide guidance, counseling, and support:

• PAGCOR Responsible Gambling Program: The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a dedicated responsible gambling program for Filipino players. PAGCOR provides player protection policies, self-exclusion registries, and awareness campaigns for licensed gaming operators in the Philippines. Visit the official PAGCOR website for more information on their responsible gambling initiatives.
• National Center for Mental Health (NCMH): The NCMH in Mandaluyong City provides mental health services including counseling for behavioral addictions. Their 24/7 crisis hotline offers immediate assistance to anyone in distress.
• Gamblers Anonymous Philippines: A fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other to solve their common problem with gambling. Meetings are held in various locations across Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.
• Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA): Offers counseling, psychotherapy, and support programs for individuals dealing with behavioral health challenges including gambling addiction.
• Local Social Welfare Offices (DSWD): The Department of Social Welfare and Development maintains offices across all Philippine regions and can connect individuals with local counseling and rehabilitation services.

iq771 encourages all players to be proactive about their mental health and gambling habits. There is no shame in asking for help — in fact, it's one of the bravest things you can do for yourself and your family.

For Family Members and Friends

Living with or caring for someone who has a gambling problem can be just as stressful and challenging as experiencing it yourself. You may feel frustrated, confused, or helpless — but there are things you can do to help.

• Talk openly and without judgment: Express your concern calmly and clearly. Avoid accusatory language. Focus on specific behaviors you've observed rather than attacking the person's character.
• Avoid enabling the behavior: Do not lend money to cover gambling debts or make excuses for gambling-related behavior. While it's hard to say no to someone you love, enabling keeps the problem going.
• Seek support for yourself: Dealing with a loved one's gambling problem takes a toll. Consider joining a support group for family members of problem gamblers, such as Gam-Anon.
• Encourage professional help: Gently encourage your loved one to seek counseling or contact a support line. Offer to help them find resources or accompany them to an appointment.
• Contact iq771 on their behalf: If you believe a family member has an active iq771 account and is suffering from problem gambling, you can contact our support team. With the proper documentation, we can investigate and take protective action on the account.
