Tools That Keep You in the Driver's Seat

Every player on FBM gaming has access to a set of practical controls designed to make responsible play easy and straightforward.

Deposit Limits

You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limit on your FBM gaming account at any time. Once a limit is in place, the platform will not allow you to deposit beyond that amount within the chosen period. This gives you full control over how much Philippine pesos you put into your account, helping you stick to a budget that works for your lifestyle. Limits take effect immediately when you lower them, and any request to raise a limit includes a short cooling-off period to prevent impulsive decisions. You can manage your deposit limits directly from your account settings.

Session Time Reminders

It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying sports betting or casino-style games on a mobile device. FBM gaming lets you set session time reminders so you receive a notification after a chosen period of play. These reminders are a gentle nudge to take a break, check in with yourself, and decide whether you want to continue. You can set reminders for as little as 30 minutes or as long as a few hours, depending on your preference. Staying aware of how long you have been playing is one of the simplest and most effective responsible gaming habits.

Take a Break

If you feel like you need a short pause from the platform, the Take a Break feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for a set period — from 24 hours up to several weeks. During a break, you will not be able to log in, place bets, or access the game lobby. This is not a permanent closure; it is simply a structured pause that gives you space to reset. When the break period ends, your account automatically becomes accessible again. This tool is ideal for players who want a short-term boundary without going through a full self-exclusion process.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is available for players who feel they need a longer or more definitive break from online gaming. When you self-exclude on FBM gaming, your account is closed for the duration you choose, and you will not be able to register a new account during that period. Self-exclusion periods range from six months to a permanent closure, depending on your needs. We take self-exclusion requests seriously and process them promptly to ensure your wellbeing is protected. If you are considering self-exclusion, we encourage you to also reach out to a support organisation — details are available on our FAQ page.

Activity History

Transparency is a core part of responsible gaming at FBM gaming. Your account dashboard gives you access to a full history of your bets, deposits, withdrawals, and session durations. Reviewing your activity regularly helps you spot patterns early and make informed decisions about your play habits. If you notice that your spending or time on the platform is increasing beyond what you are comfortable with, that is a good moment to use one of the limit or break tools available to you. Knowledge of your own behaviour is one of the most powerful responsible gaming tools there is.

Reality Checks

Reality checks are periodic on-screen messages that appear during your gaming session to remind you how long you have been playing and how much you have wagered. These pop-ups are designed to interrupt the flow of play just enough to prompt a moment of reflection without being disruptive. You can configure how frequently reality checks appear in your account settings. Many Filipino players find that even a brief pause to review their session stats is enough to keep their gaming experience balanced and enjoyable. Reality checks work best when combined with deposit limits and session reminders.

Recognising When Gaming Stops Being Fun

Gaming should be a source of entertainment, not stress. Here are some signs that it may be time to use our support tools or seek outside help.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • You are spending more money on gaming than you originally planned, and it is affecting your budget for everyday needs like food, transport, or bills.
  • You find yourself chasing losses — placing more bets to try to win back money you have already lost.
  • Gaming is taking up time that you had set aside for work, family, or other important activities.
  • You feel anxious, irritable, or restless when you are not able to access the platform.
  • You are hiding your gaming activity or the amount you are spending from people close to you.
  • You have tried to cut back on gaming before but found it difficult to follow through.

Healthy Gaming Habits

  • Treat gaming as entertainment with a fixed budget — decide in advance how much PHP you are comfortable spending and stick to it.
  • Set a time limit before you start each session and use the platform's session reminder feature to keep yourself on track.
  • Never gamble when you are feeling stressed, upset, or under the influence of alcohol — these states make it harder to make clear decisions.
  • Take regular breaks and use the activity history feature to review your play patterns every week.
  • Remember that outcomes in sports betting and casino-style games are never guaranteed — play for the experience, not to make money.
  • Talk openly with someone you trust if you feel your gaming habits are changing in a way that concerns you.

Need to Talk to Someone?

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling in the Philippines, professional support is available. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a responsible gaming programme, and there are counselling services available to Filipino players who need guidance. FBM gaming encourages any player who feels they may have a problem to seek help without hesitation — there is no shame in asking for support, and early action makes a real difference.
