Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Mines game?
Mines is a JILI instant-win game played on a grid of tiles. You set the number of hidden mines, reveal tiles to raise a multiplier, and cash out whenever you like — unless you reveal a mine, which ends the round.
Is there skill in instant-win games?
There is judgement, not prediction. Tiles are random, but you control the mine count, your target multiplier and when to cash out. That risk management is what separates a disciplined session from a reckless one.
How do I deposit with GCash?
On your operator's cashier, choose GCash, enter an amount (from about ₱50) and confirm. Deposits usually reflect within seconds. GCash allows up to ₱100,000 in cash-in per day.
How much can I withdraw to GCash at once?
GCash payouts ride InstaPay, capped at ₱50,000 per transaction and ₱500,000 per day. For larger sums, split across days or use PESONet. Casino-side GCash payouts are usually fee-free.
Why do I need KYC?
KYC is a PAGCOR requirement that confirms your identity and age and protects your account. You submit a valid government ID once; it is reviewed within 24–48 hours, then every later cashout is self-service.
What does RTP actually mean?
RTP is a game's long-run theoretical payback across millions of rounds — a 97% slot leaves a 3% house edge on average. It does not predict any single session, where results swing widely both ways.
Can an operator change a game's RTP?
Yes. JILI ships many titles with configurable RTP tiers, and the operator picks which to run. The game looks identical; only the long-run payback differs. Licensed operators tend to run the higher tiers.
How old must I be to play?
You must be at least 21 under Philippine gaming law. Age is verified during KYC, and accounts found to belong to minors are closed.
What if my play stops feeling fun?
Use your operator's deposit limits, reality checks or self-exclusion, and if you need to talk to someone, call the free, confidential NCMH hotline on 1553. Our responsible-gaming page lists every tool.
