PAGCOR Self Exclusion: How to File and Where It Stops

    You asked who may read on: adults aged 21 and over, the minimum age Philippine rules set for a casino. Younger than that? Your next step is to close this page.
  • Not operated by SLOTVIP
    Whose desk is this? A reader's guide, not SLOTVIP's lobby. The lobby lives at slotvip.ph, and that address is yours to type.

    Where does the gold button lead? To 76JL, another casino entirely, and this guide may earn from that click. Your next step before any form: read the address bar.

You asked how self-exclusion works here. PAGCOR self exclusion is a filed request, not a setting inside a game: the regulator bars you for the fixed term you pick, and the National Database of Restricted Persons then carries your name. The next step is the paperwork, and the sections below say where it goes and where its reach ends.

Filing the request

  1. Get the form. PAGCOR’s exclusion page at pagcor.ph/regulatory/exclusion.php links the application form.
  2. Add your ID. A photocopy of your government photo ID.
  3. Add two 2x2 colour photos. Shot in the past 6 months, face fully visible, nothing on your head or eyes.
  4. Choose the channel. Online requests go through osea.pagcor.ph, listed under Request for Self-Exclusion. Paper or e-mail work too: write to [email protected], or leave the envelope at the drop box in Pasay City’s MET Live Building.
  5. Confirm who you are. Anyone filing remotely owes PAGCOR a selfie or a video call.

For Family Exclusion, add the respondent’s ID, the applicant’s government or school ID, and a birth certificate or marriage contract showing the relationship.

What the order blocks, and what it cannot

By PAGCOR’s own description, the order runs through every site it has licensed and every site it operates. That is a wide net, and it has an edge.

PlaceDoes the order reach it?
A site named on PAGCOR’s listsYes, under PAGCOR’s rule
A casino PAGCOR licenses or operatesYes
A lobby missing from those listsNo duty under this order
A sound-alike copy of a listed brandNo

To see which group a site falls in, use the PAGCOR online casino list how-to. Take SLOTVIP: PAGCOR’s lists, as of 29 October 2026, leave it out, so a PAGCOR order would not stop you opening it.

Covering the gaps yourself

You asked what else helps, and it comes down to removing the easy route back.

  1. Delete saved passwords and bookmarks for every lobby, and remove any casino app.
  2. Write to each unlisted lobby’s live chat asking it to close your account, and keep the reply. Whether it acts on that is the lobby’s call, so do the other steps too.
  3. Hand your bank or wallet access to a person you trust for a while. A loss limit is no use during an exclusion: the target is zero.
  4. Leave this site’s Join 76JL buttons alone. They open 76JL, which is a casino, and a login page guide on any site is not something you need right now.

After you file

Support stays at the desk the whole way through. Ring (02) 8248-9568, 24/7, to reach the National Problem Gambling Helpline; calls are free and confidential, and it speaks with families too. The responsible gaming help list has the other centres. The legal age and who may play explain the database’s place in PAGCOR’s bars, and the casino blog home holds the money guides.

How to Get Started

  1. Gather the papers

    Complete PAGCOR's application form, then set beside it a photocopy of one government photo ID plus two 2x2 colour pictures taken within the last 6 months.

  2. Send the request

    Two online doors: the osea.pagcor.ph portal, or a message to [email protected]. A filing made from a distance is followed by a selfie or a video call.

  3. Close the other doors

    Log out, delete saved logins and casino apps, and ask any unlisted lobby in writing to close your account.

Your next step: read the terms, then choose

You asked where Join 76JL goes: it opens 76JL, a separate casino and not SLOTVIP. SLOTVIP itself lives at slotvip.ph, and you type that address yourself.

Asked at the desk, answered here

Is there a way out before the term ends?

No. PAGCOR will not lift it in the first 6 months. When the period you chose ends, the order lifts automatically, so you do not need to apply to end it.

Can my family file for me?

A spouse, child or parent can lodge Family Exclusion on your behalf, for one of three terms: 1 year, 3 years or 6 months. It needs extra papers, such as the respondent's ID and a birth or marriage certificate.

Will it stop a lobby PAGCOR's list leaves out?

No. PAGCOR ties the order to sites it licenses or runs itself. A lobby outside that record has no duty under this order, so close the account there separately and block your own access.
