Family Exclusion Program: A Step Towards Responsible Gambling

Family Exclusion is a powerful tool offered by PAGCOR, allowing close family members to request restrictions on a user’s account if there are concerns about gambling behavior or excessive platform usage. This program plays a vital role in promoting responsible gambling and ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals.

Key Benefits of Family Exclusion:

  • Prevents Harmful Gambling Behavior: Helps restrict access to gaming for individuals showing signs of problematic gambling.
  • Empowerment of Family Members: Allows close family members to take action in protecting their loved ones from gambling harm.

  • Promotes Safe Gaming – Creates a safer, more responsible gaming environment for all users.

  • Supports Recovery – Gives individuals time to reflect and recover without temptation.

  • Nationwide Enforcement – Restrictions apply across all PAGCOR-operated and regulated gaming sites.

  • Database of Restricted Users – Ensures consistent enforcement through the national database of restricted personalities.
