3. Eligibility & Registration
3.1 Age Requirement
You must be at least twenty-one (21) years of age to register an account or participate in any wagering activity on the nurtstar Platform. This minimum age requirement is mandated by PAGCOR and is strictly enforced by nurtstar. Any person found to be under 21 years of age will have their account immediately closed, their remaining balance returned (net of any bonuses), and their activity reported to PAGCOR as required by law.
3.2 Geographic Restriction
The nurtstar Platform is operated exclusively for players located in the Republic of the Philippines. Registration and use of the Platform from outside the Philippines, or by persons not permitted to gamble online under applicable law, is strictly prohibited. nurtstar reserves the right to verify the location of any Player at any time and to suspend or close accounts that appear to be accessing the Platform from prohibited jurisdictions.
3.3 One Account Per Player
Each eligible person may hold only one (1) active nurtstar account. The creation of duplicate or multiple accounts — whether under the same identity, shared device, shared IP address, shared payment method, or by any other means — is strictly prohibited and constitutes grounds for immediate account suspension, forfeiture of all balances, and reporting to PAGCOR.
3.4 Registration Accuracy
When registering an account, you are required to provide accurate, complete, and current personal information including your legal full name, date of birth, residential address, mobile number, and a valid email address. Providing false or misleading information constitutes a material breach of these Terms. nurtstar reserves the right to request supporting documentation to verify any information provided at registration or at any subsequent time.
3.5 KYC Verification
Prior to processing any withdrawal request, and at nurtstar's discretion at any other time, Players will be required to complete KYC verification. This may include submission of a government-issued photo ID (such as a PhilSys National ID, passport, or driver's licence), proof of address, and documentation supporting the source of deposited funds. Failure to complete KYC verification within the period specified by nurtstar may result in account suspension and withholding of withdrawal processing.
4. Account Management
4.1 Account Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, including your username and password. nurtstar will not be held liable for any losses or damages arising from unauthorised access to your account resulting from your failure to keep your credentials secure. You must notify nurtstar immediately at [email protected] if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.
4.2 Account Inactivity
An account is considered inactive if no login, deposit, withdrawal, or wagering activity has been recorded for a continuous period of twelve (12) months. nurtstar reserves the right to apply a monthly administrative fee to inactive accounts following written notice to the account holder's registered email address. The fee will not reduce the balance below zero. Players may reactivate their accounts by logging in and completing a wagering transaction.
4.3 Account Closure by Player
Players may request closure of their account at any time by contacting nurtstar Support. Upon closure, any verified real-money balance in the account will be returned to the Player via their last verified withdrawal method, subject to the completion of KYC verification. Bonus balances that have not met applicable wagering requirements will be forfeited upon account closure.
5. Deposits & Withdrawals
5.1 Deposit Methods
nurtstar accepts deposits via the following Philippine payment methods: GCash, PayMaya, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), Banco de Oro (BDO), Metrobank, Visa, Mastercard, and QR Ph. The minimum deposit amount is ₱100. nurtstar does not charge fees on standard deposits, though your payment provider may apply its own fees for which nurtstar bears no responsibility.
5.2 Withdrawal Conditions
The following conditions apply to all withdrawal requests:
- The minimum withdrawal amount is ₱500.
- The Player must have completed KYC verification prior to withdrawal processing.
- Withdrawals may only be made to a payment method registered in the same name as the nurtstar account holder.
- Any applicable bonus wagering requirements must be satisfied before real-money winnings derived from bonus play may be withdrawn.
- nurtstar targets withdrawal processing within twenty-four (24) hours of approval, though actual transfer times depend on the Player's payment provider.
5.3 Anti-Money Laundering
nurtstar is obligated to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) laws under the Republic of the Philippines, including the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) as amended. nurtstar reserves the right to delay or withhold any withdrawal, suspend any account, or report any transaction to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) where legally required or where nurtstar has reasonable grounds to suspect irregular or suspicious financial activity.
5.4 Deposit Refunds
Deposits confirmed as credited to a Player's account are generally non-refundable once gameplay has commenced. Refund requests for unplayed deposits may be considered on a case-by-case basis and are subject to verification. nurtstar is not responsible for deposits that fail to arrive due to errors on the part of the Player's payment provider.
6. Bonuses & Promotions
6.1 General Bonus Terms
nurtstar may from time to time offer bonuses, free spins, cashback promotions, loyalty rewards, and other promotional incentives. All bonuses are subject to these General Terms as well as any specific promotion terms published alongside each offer. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and specific promotion terms, the specific promotion terms shall prevail.
6.2 Wagering Requirements
Unless stated otherwise in the specific promotion terms, all bonuses awarded to a Player's account are subject to a wagering requirement that must be completed before any winnings derived from or associated with the bonus may be withdrawn. Wagering requirements, turnover multipliers, eligible games, and time limits for each promotion are stated in the applicable promotion-specific terms.
6.3 Bonus Abuse
nurtstar prohibits any strategy or behaviour reasonably determined to constitute bonus abuse, including but not limited to: creating multiple accounts to claim the same promotion, using low-risk wagering patterns designed to exploit bonus terms without genuine gameplay intent, coordinating with other Players to exploit promotions, and providing false information to obtain promotional benefits. nurtstar reserves the right to forfeit bonuses and associated winnings, and to close accounts, where bonus abuse is identified.
Bonus funds are deducted before real-money funds when a Player's account contains both. Winnings generated from bonus play remain subject to wagering requirements until those requirements are satisfied in full.
7. Gameplay Rules
7.1 Certified Random Number Generators
All games on the nurtstar Platform that rely on random outcomes use independently certified Random Number Generator (RNG) systems. Game results are statistically random and are not influenced by the Platform, any prior game outcomes, the Player's account status, or any third party. nurtstar publishes verified Return to Player (RTP) figures for all slot and RNG-based games in the respective game information panels.
7.2 Technical Malfunctions
In the event of a technical malfunction, communication failure, or system error that affects the outcome or recording of a game, nurtstar reserves the right to void the affected transaction and return any bet placed to the Player's account. Game outcomes recorded and confirmed by the nurtstar server prior to the malfunction are binding. nurtstar will not be liable for losses caused by malfunctions attributable to the Player's own device, browser, or internet connection.
7.3 Disputed Results
If a Player believes a game outcome is incorrect, the Player must contact nurtstar Support within forty-eight (48) hours of the disputed game, providing the game name, date and time, and a description of the issue. nurtstar will investigate using server-side game logs, which constitute the authoritative record of all game outcomes. The server record prevails over any recording, screenshot, or recollection by the Player.
8. Prohibited Conduct
The following conduct is strictly prohibited on the nurtstar Platform. Violation of any item may result in immediate account suspension, forfeiture of balances, and/or referral to PAGCOR or relevant Philippine law enforcement authorities:

Requests to reduce limits or revoke exclusions before the agreed period has elapsed will not be honoured. For further information, please visit the Responsible Gaming page.
nurtstar acknowledges its obligations under PAGCOR's responsible gaming regulations and cooperates with PAGCOR's mechanisms for the protection of problem gamblers.
10. Intellectual Property
All content on the nurtstar Platform, including but not limited to software, game engines, graphical assets, trademarks, logos, text, database designs, and layout (collectively "Platform Content"), is the property of nurtstar or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws of the Republic of the Philippines and international treaties.
Players are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Platform solely for personal, non-commercial gameplay purposes. This licence does not include the right to reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, scrape, or commercially exploit any Platform Content. Any unauthorised use of Platform Content terminates this licence and may expose the infringing party to legal liability.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Philippine law, nurtstar's total aggregate liability to any Player arising from or in connection with these Terms or the use of the Platform shall not exceed the total amount of real-money funds deposited by that Player in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability.
nurtstar shall not be liable for any of the following, regardless of whether such losses were foreseeable:
- Loss of profits, loss of revenue, or loss of anticipated savings;
- Loss of data or corruption of data;
- Any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages;
- Any loss arising from the Player's reliance on information or representations made by third parties;
- Service interruptions caused by scheduled maintenance, unscheduled downtime, third-party provider failures, or force majeure events including natural disasters, acts of government, civil unrest, or infrastructure failures;
- Losses arising from the Player's failure to maintain the security of their account credentials.
Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit nurtstar's liability for fraud, gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

13.2 Effect of Termination

14. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of the Philippines, without regard to conflict of law principles.
