Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Metro Gate Santa Rosa, we believe that gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. While we provide access to casino games through GCash, it is important to understand that the house always has an edge, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
Please gamble responsibly and only with money you can afford to lose. Never use gaming as an escape from problems or a solution to financial difficulties.
Age Verification & Legal Requirements
In the Philippines, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in any form of gambling or gaming activities. Metro Gate Santa Rosa is committed to preventing underage gambling.
By accessing this website, you confirm that:
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You are legally permitted to gamble in your jurisdiction
- You have read and agree to comply with our Responsible Gaming policies
