PAGCOR Self Exclusion: How to File and Where It Stops

- 21+ onlyYou 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 SLOTVIPWhose desk is this? A reader's guide, not SLOTVIP's lobby. The lobby lives at slotvip.ph, and that address is yours to type.

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.
PAGCOR self exclusion at a glance

Filing the request
- Get the form. PAGCOR’s exclusion page at pagcor.ph/regulatory/exclusion.php links the application form.
- Add your ID. A photocopy of your government photo ID.
- Add two 2x2 colour photos. Shot in the past 6 months, face fully visible, nothing on your head or eyes.
- 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.
- 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.
| Place | Does the order reach it? |
|---|---|
| A site named on PAGCOR’s lists | Yes, under PAGCOR’s rule |
| A casino PAGCOR licenses or operates | Yes |
| A lobby missing from those lists | No duty under this order |
| A sound-alike copy of a listed brand | No |
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.
- Delete saved passwords and bookmarks for every lobby, and remove any casino app.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

-
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.

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.
