Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Mindanao Electronics Eagles Club, we believe that online gaming should be an enjoyable form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While gaming can be fun and exciting, it's important to approach it responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never view gaming as an investment or income source.

Age Verification & Legal Requirements

Online gaming in the Philippines is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older, or the legal age of majority as defined by Philippine law. By accessing our gaming platform, you confirm that you meet this age requirement.

We are committed to preventing underage gambling and reserve the right to verify your age at any time. False age declaration is prohibited and may result in account suspension and legal consequences.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist. If you recognize any of these behaviors in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:

• 🚩 Spending more time or money on gaming than intended
• 🚩 Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• 🚩 Lying to family, friends, or therapists about the extent of gaming
• 🚩 Using gaming to escape problems, anxiety, depression, or stress
• 🚩 Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gaming
• 🚩 Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities
• 🚩 Experiencing anxiety, irritability, or anger when not gaming
• 🚩 Failed attempts to cut back or stop gaming
• 🚩 Jeopardizing relationships, education, or career opportunities
• 🚩 Experiencing financial hardship as a result of gaming

If you've checked any of these boxes, please reach out for support immediately.
