Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At LaFiesta Hotel Iloilo, we believe that online gaming through GCash should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gaming is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always gamble within your means and only with money you can afford to lose. Remember: the odds always favor the casino.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In the Philippines, online gaming is strictly for individuals aged 18 years and older. By accessing and using our gaming platform, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction and comply with all local and national regulations regarding online gambling.
Underage gambling is illegal and harmful. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor and restrict access to gaming sites on devices used by minors.
