Bingo and slots are entertainment. Not income substitution. If you ever think gambling is the way to recoup losses or pay bills, stop and call the helplines below. Every Filipino 21+ player has a free right to responsible-play tools and confidential support.
Set a weekly bingo-card-spend ceiling (₱500 / ₱2,000 / ₱5,000 / custom). Cap reached? Cards are blocked until the next weekly cycle.
Auto-warning at 60 / 90 / 120 minutes per session. Most Pinoy bingo players start with 90-min cap and adjust from feedback.
Temporary account lock — no new card purchases or slot wagers, but balance remains intact. Re-engage automatically after the period ends.
Permanent lock that cannot be lifted before expiry. Linked to the PAGCOR National Self-Exclusion Registry (NSER) when chosen.

DONLIN aligns with the PAGCOR National Self-Exclusion Registry protocol. Self-exclude on NSER and you are automatically blocked from every PAGCOR-licensed Pinoy operator (Editor's Pick included) for a minimum of 6 months. Promo emails also stop. Gambling is never the cure for financial or emotional difficulty — please call the helplines above before adding stress.
