1. Core Principles of Responsible Use

Our approach to responsibility is built on three main pillars: Clear Access, Transparency, and Secure Interaction.

Clear Access Guidelines

We encourage users to always verify their access points. In an online environment where phishing links exist, “Responsible Use” starts with ensuring you are on the official Empire Card domain or using the official App.

  • Rule: Never log in through links sent via unsolicited SMS or suspicious social media messages.

Transparent Processing Behavior

We do not hide technical realities. If the network is slow or if a payment gateway is under maintenance, we inform you.

  • Commitment: We provide real-time insights into Payment Tips and processing delays so you can manage your time and expectations effectively.

Responsible Platform Interaction

We design our interface to be lightweight and efficient, but we also encourage users to monitor their own usage habits. Digital well-being means knowing when to take a break, especially during long sessions on mobile screens.

2. Platform Safety Practices

Your security is the foundation of our platform. We employ enterprise-grade technology to ensure that your data and connection remain private.

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: Every piece of data transmitted between your device and our servers—whether on 5G, LTE, or Wi-Fi—is encrypted using banking-standard protocols.
  • Integrity Monitoring: To ensure the platform operates fairly and correctly, our systems and integrations undergo regular monitoring and audits by independent international testing agencies, such as BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs.
  • Real-Time Server Status: We constantly monitor connectivity to prevent data loss during sudden signal drops, protecting your session history.

3. User Protection Guidelines (Self-Protection)

While we secure the platform, “Responsible Use” also involves steps you can take to protect your own digital identity.

Secure Your Credentials

  • Password Hygiene: Do not use the same password for Empire Card that you use for your email or social media.
  • Device Security: Use biometric locks (FaceID or Fingerprint) on your phone to prevent unauthorized access to the app if your device is lost or stolen.

Network Awareness

  • Public Wi-Fi: Avoid accessing your account or processing transactions while connected to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks (e.g., in malls or cafes) without a VPN.
  • Data Privacy: Periodically clear your browser cache and history if you are using a shared device.

4. Aligned with National Standards

Empire Card operates with a strong commitment to the responsible-use frameworks outlined by Philippine regulatory standards.

We align our operational protocols with the general Responsible Gaming Principles referenced in PAGCOR’s public digital guidelines. This means we prioritize:

  • Age Verification: Strictly prohibiting access to individuals under 21 years of age.
  • Fair Play: Ensuring all formats function correctly and transparently.
  • User Welfare: Providing tools and information to help users maintain control over their digital entertainment habits.

5. Best Practices for Filipino Mobile Users

To ensure a responsible and frustration-free experience, we recommend the following technical habits:

Managing Device Health

Prolonged app usage can drain battery and heat up devices.

  • Recommendation: Lower your screen brightness during evening sessions and close background apps to keep your phone cool and responsive.

Connectivity Management

Processing requests during unstable signal periods can lead to errors.

  • Recommendation: If your signal bar is fluctuating (switching between H+ and 4G), wait until you are in a stable location before initiating important actions.
