Age Restriction
gzone is exclusively for players 21 years old and above. This is a strict legal requirement under Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations. We verify age during registration and may request government-issued ID at any time.
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At gzone, we believe gaming should always be entertaining, safe, and within your control. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator serving Filipino players, we take our responsible gaming obligations seriously. Gaming is meant to be a fun recreational activity, not a way to make money or solve financial problems.
We're committed to providing the tools, resources, and support you need to keep your gaming enjoyable and healthy. Whether you're playing slots, trying your luck at bingo, or enjoying our casino games, gzone wants you to play smart, play safe, and play within your means.
What is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means maintaining control over your gaming activities so they remain enjoyable and don't negatively impact your life, finances, relationships, or mental health. It involves:
- Setting and sticking to personal limits on time and money spent gaming
- Understanding that gaming outcomes are based on chance, not skill or strategy
- Never chasing losses or trying to win back money you've lost
- Recognizing when gaming stops being fun and becomes a problem
- Seeking help when you feel gaming is getting out of control
- Never gaming under the influence of alcohol or when emotionally distressed
Recognizing Problem Gaming Behavior
Problem gaming can affect anyone regardless of age, income level, or background. It's important to recognize warning signs early so you can take action before gaming causes serious harm. Ask yourself these questions honestly:
Self-Assessment Questions
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions, you may be developing a gaming problem and should consider using our responsible gaming tools or seeking professional help.
Responsible Gaming Tools at gzone
gzone provides comprehensive tools to help you maintain control over your gaming activities. All tools are easily accessible through your account settings and take effect immediately. These features are designed to empower you to make healthy gaming decisions.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amounts. Once your limit is reached, you won't be able to deposit additional funds until the time period resets. Limits can be lowered immediately but increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions.
Loss Limits
Establish maximum loss thresholds over daily, weekly, or monthly periods. This tracks your net losses and automatically blocks further gaming once you reach your limit. It's one of the most effective tools for preventing excessive losses and protecting your bankroll.
Session Time Limits
Configure automatic logout after a designated gaming duration. You'll receive a notification when your session time is approaching, and the system will log you out when the limit is reached. This helps prevent marathon gaming sessions and encourages healthy breaks.
Reality Checks
Receive periodic pop-up notifications showing how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost during your current session. These reminders help you stay aware of time passing and make conscious decisions about continuing to play.
Take a Break
Temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this cooling-off period, you won't be able to login, deposit, or play games. This gives you time to step back and reassess your gaming habits without permanently closing your account.
Self-Exclusion
Permanently or semi-permanently lock yourself out of your gzone account for periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years, or indefinitely. This is the strongest protection available and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. Your account balance can be withdrawn before exclusion takes effect.
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
Setting up responsible gaming controls at gzone is simple and takes just a few clicks:
- Log in to your gzone account and navigate to the account settings menu
- Select "Responsible Gaming Tools" from the settings options
- Choose the tool you want to activate (deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, etc.)
- Set your preferred limits or time periods based on your personal budget and situation
- Confirm your settings and they'll take effect immediately
If you need assistance setting up any responsible gaming tools, our customer support team is available 24/7 via live chat. They can guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have about how each tool works.
Self-Exclusion: Your Strongest Protection
Self-exclusion is the most powerful responsible gaming tool available at gzone. When you self-exclude, you're making a firm commitment to stop gaming for a specific period or indefinitely. This option is designed for players who recognize they have a serious problem and need comprehensive protection.
What Happens During Self-Exclusion?
- Your account is immediately locked and you cannot login or access any games
- All deposits, bonuses, and promotional offers are blocked
- You'll be unsubscribed from all marketing emails and promotional communications
- Your existing account balance can be withdrawn upon request
- The exclusion period CANNOT be shortened or reversed once activated
- Attempting to create new accounts during exclusion will result in permanent ban
Self-Exclusion Options
gzone offers flexible self-exclusion periods to match your needs:
6 Months: Minimum self-exclusion period for those who need a substantial break
1 Year: Recommended for players with moderate gaming problems
2-5 Years: Extended protection for serious cases requiring long-term commitment
Permanent/Indefinite: Lifetime exclusion for those who want to stop gaming permanently
To initiate self-exclusion, contact our customer support team via live chat or email. They will process your request immediately and provide confirmation once your exclusion is active. We also recommend enrolling in PAGCOR's National Self-Exclusion Registry for additional protection across all licensed gaming operators in the Philippines.

Talking to Loved Ones About Gaming Problems
If you're concerned about a family member or friend's gaming behavior, approach the conversation with compassion and without judgment. Gaming problems are a recognized behavioral health issue, not a moral failing. Offer support, share information about available resources, and encourage them to seek professional help. Many people with gaming problems don't realize how serious their situation has become until someone they trust points it out.
