11. Protection of Minors and Age Verification

vippj services are intended exclusively for individuals who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age, consistent with Philippine gambling laws and PAGCOR regulations. vippj does not knowingly collect personal information from persons under 21 years of age. If we become aware that a minor has provided personal information or created an account, we will immediately terminate the account, void any transactions, confiscate deposits, and delete the minor's personal data from our systems.

vippj employs age verification measures during account registration and may request government-issued identification documents to confirm age eligibility. Parents and guardians are encouraged to monitor minors' internet usage and utilize parental control software to prevent underage access to gambling platforms.

Continued use of vippj services following the posting of updated terms constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. We encourage Players to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.
