Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
fbm gaming is dedicated to providing a safe and entertaining environment for all players in the Philippines. We take problem gambling seriously and actively promote responsible gaming practices across all our services — from live casino and slot online to fish games and bingo.
Our responsible gaming commitment includes offering practical tools to help players control their play, educating users on warning signs of risky behavior, protecting minors from accessing the platform, and connecting players with professional support when needed. We do not encourage excessive play, and we never use marketing that targets vulnerable individuals.
Warning Signs – When Does Gaming Become a Problem?
Gambling should be a fun and occasional form of entertainment. It becomes a concern when it starts affecting your well-being, finances, or relationships. Watch out for these warning signs:
- Spending more money or time on gaming than originally planned
- Using funds set aside for rent, food, bills, or family needs to fund gaming
- Feeling anxious, restless, or irritable when not able to play
- Chasing losses — trying to win back money already lost by continuing to play
- Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
- Borrowing money or selling possessions to fund your gameplay
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities because of gaming time
- Experiencing difficulty stopping or reducing play despite wanting to
If you recognize several of these signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to take a step back and seek support.
Practical Tips for Managing Your Time and Budget
Healthy gaming habits start with clear personal boundaries. Here are practical guidelines recommended by fbm gaming for all players in the Philippines:
- Set a budget before you play: Decide in advance how much Philippine Peso (₱) you are willing to spend in a session and stick to it. Never exceed this amount.
- Treat gaming as entertainment, not income: Online gaming is a form of leisure. Never rely on it as a source of income or expect consistent returns.
- Limit your session time: Set a time limit before starting a session and use a phone alarm or reminder to keep yourself accountable.
- Take regular breaks: Step away from the screen periodically. Continuous play for extended periods can cloud judgment.
- Avoid playing under stress: Do not use gaming to cope with emotional distress, anxiety, or personal problems. Play only when you are in a positive, relaxed state of mind.
- Keep track of your spending: Review your transaction history regularly through your account dashboard to stay aware of your actual spend.
Self-Control Tools Available on the Platform
fbm gaming provides account-level tools designed to help players stay in control of their gaming activity. These include:
- Deposit limits: You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly PHP deposit limit through your account settings to prevent spending beyond your budget. Once a limit is set, it takes effect immediately and can only be decreased instantly — increases require a waiting period to take effect.
- Cooling-off periods: If you feel you need a short break, you can request a temporary pause on your account. During this time, you will not be able to access gaming features.
- Self-exclusion: For players who recognize a more serious concern, self-exclusion allows you to close your account or suspend access for an extended period. This is a voluntary and effective tool to take a full break from the platform.
- Session reminders: The platform can notify you of how long you have been playing to help you manage your time.
To access any of these tools, log in to your account and navigate to your account settings, or contact support for assistance through the FAQ page.
Protecting Minors – A Shared Responsibility
The fbm gaming platform is strictly for adults aged 18 and above. We take the protection of minors very seriously and have several measures in place to prevent underage access:
- Age verification is required during registration, and accounts suspected of being operated by minors will be suspended immediately
- We do not target marketing or promotional materials toward individuals below the legal age
- If you share a device with family members, especially children, we strongly recommend enabling parental control software to restrict access to gambling websites
- Keep your login credentials private and never share your account with minors
If you suspect a minor has accessed the platform, please notify our support team immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
Seeking Professional Help and Maintaining Life Balance
It takes courage to acknowledge when gaming has become a problem, and asking for help is a sign of strength. fbm gaming encourages any player who is struggling to reach out to qualified professionals. In the Philippines, mental health support and counseling services are available through government and private organizations.
Maintaining a healthy balance in life is essential. Gaming should coexist alongside — not replace — family time, social connections, work, physical activity, and rest. We recommend the following for a sustainable approach:
- Keep gaming to a small, intentional portion of your leisure time
- Maintain open conversations with family or close friends about your gaming habits
- If you feel gaming is becoming compulsive, talk to a professional counselor or psychologist
- Use the platform's self-exclusion tool proactively if you feel you need a longer break
