Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money. At aguarivaph.com, we encourage all visitors to play responsibly and within their means. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and always treat gambling as a leisure activity—never as a financial strategy.

Age Verification

You must be of legal gambling age to participate in any casino activity. In the Philippines, the minimum age for casino gaming at Nustar is 21 years old. For other forms of gambling, the legal age may be 18. Always confirm the local legal age in your jurisdiction before playing. Underage gambling is strictly prohibited and may have serious legal consequences.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following behaviours in yourself or someone you care about, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses by returning to gamble again to win back money
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities due to gambling
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when trying to cut down
• Lying about gambling habits or the amount of money lost
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
• Repeated unsuccessful attempts to stop or control gambling

Self-Help Tools

Many reputable casinos and platforms offer practical tools to help you stay in control. Common self-help tools include:

• Deposit limits – set a maximum amount you can deposit per day, week, or month
• Loss limits – define the maximum amount you are willing to lose in a session or period
• Reality checks – receive automatic reminders about how long you have been playing
• Self-exclusion – block your own access to gambling for a chosen period (days, months, or permanently)
• Time-out periods – take a short break from gambling for 24 hours to several weeks
