it aims to provide tools to make informed decisions and manage gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Philippines.- DigiPlus Interactive Corporation<\/strong> and its social development branch, BingoPlus Foundation<\/strong>, has launched a campaign to educate Filipino players about responsible gaming. Dubbed \u201cPusta de Peligro\u201d, it aims to provide tools to make informed decisions and manage gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign uses the term Petsa de Peligro, which refers to the necessity for caution before paydays in the Philippines, as a metaphor for times when players should be careful in their gaming. According to DigiPlus, it aligns with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)’s initiatives to ensure safe and responsible gaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says the campaign has a “three-pronged approach to prevention, education and intervention” and aims to “teach Filipinos how to know the risks, set limits and get the right support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
