Our Commitment to Safe Play

At fbm gaming, responsible gaming is not just a policy — it is a core part of how we operate our platform for Filipino players every single day. We understand that sports betting and casino-style entertainment can be an exciting pastime, but we also recognise that for some players, gaming can become a source of stress or financial difficulty if left unchecked. That is why we have built a range of practical tools directly into your account so you can always stay in control of your activity, your spending, and your time. Our platform is designed to make it easy for any player in the Philippines to set personal limits, take a break, or reach out for support whenever they need it. We are committed to providing a safe, transparent, and enjoyable environment where every Filipino player can make informed choices about how they play.

We also take our obligations under Philippine gaming regulations seriously, and we work closely with relevant authorities to ensure our responsible gaming practices meet the highest standards. If you ever feel that your gaming habits are affecting your daily life, your relationships, or your finances, we strongly encourage you to use the tools available on this page or to speak with a professional support service. Remember: gaming at fbm gaming should always be a form of entertainment, never a way to earn income or recover losses.

Quick Self-Check

  • Do you set a budget before you start playing and stick to it?
  • Do you play for fun rather than to chase losses or win back money?
  • Do you take regular breaks and keep gaming time balanced with other activities?
  • Are you comfortable talking to someone if gaming starts to feel like a problem?
  • Do you only use money you can afford to lose for gaming activities?

Tools to Keep You in Control

Every fbm gaming account comes with built-in player protection features — available 24/7 for all Filipino players.

Deposit Limits

Set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap on your account to make sure you never spend more than you planned. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be increased after a mandatory cooling-off period. This gives you a reliable safety net every time you top up your account in Philippine pesos.

Session Time Limits

Choose how long you want each gaming session to last, and our platform will send you a reminder or automatically log you out when your limit is reached. Keeping sessions short and intentional is one of the most effective ways to maintain a healthy relationship with gaming. You can adjust your session limit at any time from your account settings.

Take a Break

If you feel like you need a short pause from gaming, you can activate a temporary break of 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days directly from your account. During a break, you will not be able to log in or place any bets, giving you the space to reset and refocus. This feature is available instantly and requires no approval from our support team.

Self-Exclusion

For players who need a longer break, self-exclusion allows you to close your account for a period of 6 months, 1 year, or permanently. During self-exclusion, your account is fully suspended and you will not receive any promotional communications from us. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to protect your wellbeing.

Loss Limits

Set a maximum loss threshold for any given day, week, or month so that your account automatically restricts further play once that amount is reached. Loss limits are one of the most powerful tools for keeping your gaming budget under control and preventing impulsive decisions during a losing streak. You can review and update your loss limits at any time in your account dashboard.

24/7 Support Access

Our support team is available around the clock to assist Filipino players with any responsible gaming concerns, account restrictions, or questions about the tools on this page. You can reach us through your account dashboard at any time, and we will respond promptly and without judgement. Your wellbeing is always our priority.

Recognising Problem Gaming

Knowing the warning signs early makes it easier to take action and get back on track.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford.
  • Chasing losses by placing larger bets to try to win back money you have already lost.
  • Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to play.
  • Neglecting work, school, family, or social responsibilities because of gaming.
  • Borrowing money or selling personal items to fund your gaming activity.
  • Lying to friends or family members about how much time or money you spend on gaming.
  • Using gaming as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems.

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Always decide on a fixed budget in Philippine pesos before you start a session and never exceed it.
  • Treat gaming as entertainment — the same way you would budget for a movie or a meal out.
  • Take regular breaks during sessions and step away from the screen to refresh your mind.
  • Never play when you are feeling emotionally distressed, tired, or under the influence of alcohol.
  • Keep gaming balanced with other hobbies, social activities, and responsibilities in your daily life.
  • Use the deposit and loss limit tools in your account to create automatic guardrails for your spending.
  • Talk openly with someone you trust if you feel that gaming is starting to affect your life negatively.
