The 18jl Platform is strictly intended for adults aged 21 years and above, in accordance with Philippine gaming regulations. 18jl does not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 21.

If 18jl becomes aware that personal data has been collected from a person under the age of 21, we will take immediate steps to delete that data and close the associated account. Any deposits made by an underage user will be returned to the original payment method after deducting applicable processing fees, and any winnings will be forfeited.

If you believe that a minor has registered an account on 18jl or that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 21, please contact our support team immediately so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

The 18jl Platform may contain references to third-party services, such as payment providers and game content suppliers. These third parties operate their own platforms and privacy policies, which are independent of 18jl.

18jl is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with in connection with your use of the 18jl Platform, particularly payment providers such as GCash, PayMaya, BPI, BDO, and Metrobank.

18jl reserves the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our data practices, applicable law, or regulatory requirements. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify registered players via the Platform or by email.

Your continued use of the 18jl Platform following the posting of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal data.

If you do not agree with any changes to this Privacy Policy, you should cease using the Platform and may request account closure by contacting our support team.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the way 18jl handles your personal data, please contact our Data Privacy team. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
