Okay so… I’ve been meaning to share this for ages! As someone who’s spent wayyy too many late nights (and maybe a few early mornings, oops!) playing online slots, I gotta tell ya about 7xm. It’s like, honestly? Probably the most addictive gaming platform I’ve stumbled across in the Philippines. And trust me, I’ve tried LOADS of them since getting into online casinos back in 2018!
So the Philippine gambling scene is kinda crazy right now, right? Everyone and their tita seems to be trying their luck online! I remember when my cousin first showed me 7xm during a family reunion in Manila last year – I was like “meh, another slot site, whatever” but DANG was I wrong!
What got me hooked? Well… first off, it doesn’t make my ancient laptop crash like some other sites do (you know the ones I’m talking about, lol). Plus, the interface is super easy to figure out, even that one time when I’d had one too many San Migs and could barely see straight! 😂
Alright, so here’s why I keep coming back to 7xm instead of the other gazillion options out there:
So I was chatting with my uncle (who, btw, totally pretends he doesn’t gamble but I’ve seen his browser history, lmao) about why online slots are suddenly EVERYWHERE in the Philippines. I think it’s coz we can play in our pajamas? I mean, who wants to dress up and drive all the way to Resorts World when you could be winning from your bed, right?
Tbh, I think sites like 7xm just really get what Filipino players want. Fast games, easy to understand, and the chance to win without having to sell a kidney to place bets. Makes sense why everyone from my college buddies to my 60-year-old neighbor Tito Ben is getting in on it.
K so you wanna try 7xm too? Here’s my not-so-expert guide based on how I fumbled my way through it:
Oh, and fair warning – their customer service chat people are actually real humans, not bots! I found this out when I sent a slightly tipsy message at 2am asking if the site was “riiiiigged” after losing 8 spins in a row. Got a very patient reply from someone named Joy who probably thought I was a complete idiot. Sorry Joy!
Mkay so I should probably mention this coz my mom would kill me if I didn’t (hi mom, if you’re somehow reading this!). 7xm does have these tools to help you not go completely broke. You can set limits so you don’t end up spending your rent money… which I may or may not have almost done once. 😬
They also have resources for people who get too into it. I’ve never used them personally, but my cousin’s friend apparently did and said they were helpful? Honestly, just know your limits. Like last month when I was on a losing streak and decided to take a 2-week break instead of chasing losses. Proud adult moment right there!
Sooo many! There’s the classic boring-looking ones (that are somehow still addictive??), fancy video slots with mini-games and stuff, and those progressive jackpot ones where you could technically win enough to buy a condo in BGC. I mostly stick to the medium volatility games coz I’m not trying to have a heart attack every time I spin, ya know?
Yuppp! It’s super Pinoy-friendly. They even have customer support that understands Taglish, which came in handy that time I was trying to explain a weird glitch using a mix of English and Filipino coz I was too tired to stick to one language lol.
I usually use GCash coz it’s just easier, but they have loads of options. My kuya uses his credit card and my friend Mark does bank transfers. Oh, they added this new e-wallet recently too but I haven’t tried it yet… PayMaya maybe? Can’t remember exactly, my memory is like a goldfish sometimes! 🐠
OK so I was SUPER paranoid about this at first (been scammed before, not fun). But 7xm has been totally legit in my experience. They have all these security certificates and stuff, and I’ve never had issues withdrawing my winnings. That one time it took like 3 days but that was coz of my bank being weird, not them.
Hellll yes they do! When I joined they gave me this welcome bonus that doubled my first deposit, plus some free spins on this Egyptian-themed slot. Ngl, that’s what got me to stay and keep playing. They also have random promos – like last month they had this thing for someone’s birthday (the founder maybe??) where they were giving out extra bonuses.
I play on my phone like 90% of the time! Works fine even on my ancient Samsung that barely runs Facebook anymore. The games adjust to fit your screen and everything. Sometimes when the battery’s about to die it gets a bit laggy, but that’s probably just my phone being dramatic.
So this one time, my game froze right as I hit what looked like a massive win and I FREAKED OUT. Messaged their support team in a panic (may have used a few too many exclamation points!!!). They sorted it within like 20 minutes and my win was actually credited properly. They have this 24/7 chat thing that’s pretty responsive… definitely better than my ex at replying. 😏
Anywaaay, that’s my take on 7xm. It’s been my go-to for almost a year now. Maybe I’m a bit too obsessed (according to my friends who have to hear me talk about it constantly). But for real, if you’re into slots and in the Philippines, it’s worth checking out. Just remember to know when to call it a day… unlike me last Saturday when I stayed up til 4am chasing a jackpot. Spoiler alert: didn’t win it, and had to function on 3 hours of sleep the next day. Learn from my mistakes, people! 😴
