No Star's Responsible Gaming Pledge

We believe that online gaming is meant to be a fun, enjoyable pastime — not a way to earn money or escape problems. No Star is committed to providing every Filipino player with the tools, information, and support needed to keep gaming healthy, responsible, and sulit. Kung may problema ka, nandito kami para tumulong.

Online gaming is a popular form of recreation here in the Philippines. Whether you are catching PBA action live, spinning the reels on JILI Slots, or trying your hand at poker, the experience is all about excitement and fun. But just like anything else, too much of a good thing can turn into a problem — and No Star takes that seriously.

This page covers everything you need to know about responsible gaming at No Star: the tools we provide, the warning signs to watch for, and the steps you can take to keep yourself — or someone you care about — in a healthy relationship with gaming. This is not just legal fine print. It is a genuine commitment from our team to every player on this platform.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means making informed, conscious choices about when, how, and how much you gamble. It means setting personal limits, sticking to them, and treating gaming purely as entertainment. A responsible player:

  • Only uses money they can comfortably afford to lose — hindi yung pang-gastos sa bahay.
  • Sets time and money limits before starting a gaming session.
  • Treats losses as the cost of entertainment, not as a debt to chase.
  • Never borrows money to fund gaming activity.
  • Keeps gaming separate from work, family time, and personal responsibilities.
  • Knows when to log off and take a break.

No Star provides a wide range of responsible gaming tools built directly into your player account. These tools are available to every registered player at no cost and can be activated any time you feel you need a little extra support.

Our Commitment to You

No Star's responsible gaming programme is not just a checkbox — it is a core part of how we operate. We align our practices with the standards set by PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) and international responsible gaming frameworks. Specifically, we are committed to:

  • Preventing minors from accessing our platform through strict age verification at registration and withdrawal.
  • Providing self-exclusion and limit-setting tools that are easy to find and use.
  • Training our customer support team to identify signs of problem gambling and respond with empathy and proper guidance.
  • Displaying responsible gaming messages prominently across our platform.
  • Never marketing aggressively to players who have set responsible gaming restrictions.
  • Partnering with professional support organisations to connect players with help when needed.
Built-in Protection

Your Responsible Gaming Toolkit

Six powerful tools inside your No Star account — free, always available, and easy to use.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap on how much you can deposit. Once your limit is reached, deposits are blocked until the period resets. Increases take 48 hours to reflect — but decreases take effect immediately.

Available now

Session Time Limits

Choose how long each gaming session can last — 30 minutes, 1 hour, or custom. When your time is up, No Star will notify you and end the session. You stay in control of your playtime.

Available now

Loss Limits

Define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a single day, week, or month. Once your loss limit is hit, further bets are blocked until the next cycle. It is the simplest way to protect your budget.

Available now

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break from gaming? Activate a cooling-off period of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. During this time, your account is paused for gaming — you can still withdraw your balance but cannot place bets.

Available now

Self-Exclusion

If you need a longer break, self-exclusion lets you close your account for 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. Once activated, it cannot be reversed within the chosen period — so think carefully before proceeding.

Permanent option available

Reality Check Reminders

Get periodic pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. A simple, friendly nudge — para hindi mo makalimutan na may ibang bagay pa sa buhay.

Know the Signs

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Early awareness is the best protection. Recognise these signs in yourself or someone close to you.

1

Chasing Losses

Continuing to gamble after losing in an attempt to win back money — this is one of the most common and dangerous patterns in problem gambling.

2

Gambling More Than You Can Afford

Using money meant for rent, bills, groceries, or your anak's allowance for gaming. If your household budget is being affected, that is a serious red flag.

3

Lying About Gambling Activity

Hiding your gaming habits from family, friends, or colleagues. Shame and secrecy often accompany problem gambling and make it harder to seek help.

4

Neglecting Work or Family

Missing work shifts, family dinners, or important events because of gaming sessions. When responsibilities take a back seat to gambling, the balance has shifted dangerously.

5

Borrowing Money to Gamble

Taking loans, borrowing from friends, or using credit cards specifically to fund gaming activity is a clear sign that gambling has gone beyond entertainment.

6

Feeling Restless or Irritable When Not Gambling

Experiencing anxiety, mood swings, or irritability when you cannot play may signal a psychological dependence on gambling.

7

Using Gaming to Escape Problems

Turning to gambling as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, depression, or difficult situations at home or at work. Gaming is entertainment — not a solution.

Paalala: Recognising one or more of these signs does not mean you are a bad person. It means you need support — and getting that support is one of the strongest things you can do. No Star is here to help you take that first step.

Gaming should add fun to your day — not take over your life.

Quick reminder: No Star supports responsible gaming for every player across the Philippines. Mahalaga ang iyong kapakanan — higit pa sa anumang panalo.
Self-Assessment

Are You Playing Responsibly?

Ask yourself these questions honestly. If you answer "yes" to two or more, we strongly encourage you to activate our responsible gaming tools or reach out to our support team.

Have you spent more money gaming than you originally planned?
Have you ever hidden your gaming activity from people close to you?
Do you find it hard to stop playing once you have started?
Have you missed work, school, or family time because of gaming?
Do you feel anxious or irritable when you are not able to play?
Have you borrowed money or sold personal items to fund gaming?
Do you rely on gaming to cope with stress, loneliness, or sadness?

If any of these resonate, please contact our responsible gaming team at support@nostar.biz or use the self-exclusion tool in your account settings.

Protecting Minors and Vulnerable Players

No Star has a strict zero-tolerance policy for underage gaming. Under Philippine regulations and our operating licence, you must be at least 21 years old to register and play on our platform. We enforce this through:

  • Mandatory date-of-birth verification at registration.
  • Full KYC (Know Your Customer) document checks before first withdrawal.
  • Account monitoring for behavioural patterns inconsistent with adult play.
  • Parental control guidance — if you share a device with minors, we recommend using device-level parental controls alongside our platform restrictions.

If you believe a minor has accessed our platform using your account or someone else's, contact us immediately at support@nostar.biz. We will investigate and act without delay.

We also recognise that some adults may be particularly vulnerable — for example, those experiencing financial hardship, mental health challenges, or substance use issues. Our responsible gaming tools are designed to help anyone who needs an extra layer of protection, walang hinuhusgahan.

Gaming Responsibly in the Philippines

Gaming culture in the Philippines is deep-rooted — from neighbourhood mahjong games to online sports betting on PBA. It is part of how we bond, compete, and enjoy life. But it is important that Filipinos have access to clear guidance about responsible gaming, especially as the online gaming space grows rapidly.

No Star is proud to be part of a gaming ecosystem that puts player welfare first. We consistently invest in player education, responsible gaming infrastructure, and support resources to make sure that every Filipino who plays on our platform does so safely and sustainably.

Remember: the house always has an edge. Gaming is entertainment, and its cost is the money you wager. Keep that in mind, set your limits, and you will always walk away with the thing that matters most — a good time.

Our house rule: No Star will never contact you with promotional offers if you have activated responsible gaming restrictions. Your choices are respected, period.
FAQ

Responsible Gaming Questions Answered

Log in to your account, go to Account Settings, and select Responsible Gaming. From there, choose Deposit Limits and set your preferred daily, weekly, or monthly cap. Changes that reduce your limit take effect immediately, while increases require a 48-hour cooling period before they activate.

No — self-exclusion cannot be reversed within the chosen exclusion period. This is intentional. The purpose of self-exclusion is to give you a firm, reliable break from gaming. Once the period ends, you can contact our support team to request reactivation, and we will conduct a brief wellness check before restoring access.

Deposit limits may affect your eligibility for certain bonuses that require minimum deposit amounts. However, our responsible gaming tools will never be used as a reason to penalise or disadvantage you. Your wellbeing comes first at No Star — no bonus is worth more than your health and peace of mind.

If you or someone you know needs professional support, you can reach out to the following Philippines-based resources: PAGCOR's Player Protection Helpline, the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) at (02) 8-650-4055, or Gamblers Anonymous Philippines. Our support team at support@nostar.biz can also provide guidance and connect you to the right resources.

Any existing balance in your account remains accessible for withdrawal even after self-exclusion is activated. You will not be able to deposit or place bets, but your funds are safe and can be withdrawn to your GCash, Maya, or bank account at any time during the exclusion period.

All players must provide a valid government-issued ID during the KYC verification process before they can make withdrawals. Accepted IDs include the PhilSys National ID, passport, UMID, driver's licence, and SSS/GSIS ID. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years old will be suspended immediately and all associated funds forfeited.
