Responsible Gaming

At fb001, we believe gaming should always be fun and entertaining. We're committed to promoting safe gambling practices and providing tools to help you stay in control.

21+ ONLY – Play Responsibly

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

fb001 is dedicated to providing a safe, secure, and responsible gaming environment for all Filipino players. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, we take our responsibility seriously and comply with all Philippine regulations designed to protect players and promote responsible gambling practices.

While the majority of our players enjoy fb001 as a form of entertainment without problems, we recognize that for some individuals, gambling can become harmful. That's why we've implemented comprehensive responsible gaming measures, self-exclusion tools, and support resources to help players maintain healthy gaming habits.

We encourage all fb001 players to gamble responsibly, set limits on their gaming activities, and seek help immediately if they feel their gambling is becoming problematic. Remember: gambling should always be about entertainment, never a way to make money or solve financial problems.

Age Restriction: 21+ Only

Online gambling is restricted to individuals who are at least 21 years of age in the Philippines. This is both a legal requirement under PAGCOR regulations and a critical safeguard to protect young people from gambling-related harm.

fb001 strictly enforces age verification:

  • All players must provide valid government-issued ID during registration
  • Accounts found to belong to underage individuals will be immediately closed
  • All funds in underage accounts will be forfeited
  • Suspected underage gambling will be reported to PAGCOR and relevant authorities

Recognizing Problem Gambling

Problem gambling, also known as gambling disorder or compulsive gambling, is a behavioral addiction that can have serious consequences for individuals and their families. It affects people from all walks of life in Manila, Cebu, Davao, and across the Philippines.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

It's important to recognize the warning signs that gambling may be becoming a problem. If you or someone you know exhibits several of these behaviors, it may be time to seek help:

Self-Assessment Checklist

  • Spending more money and time gambling than you can afford or intended
  • Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
  • Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gambling
  • Gambling to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with feelings of helplessness or depression
  • Trying repeatedly to control, cut back, or stop gambling without success
  • Lying to family members, friends, or others to hide the extent of your gambling
  • Chasing losses by returning to gamble another day to try to win back money you lost
  • Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, jobs, or educational opportunities because of gambling
  • Borrowing money from family, friends, or financial institutions to fund gambling or pay gambling debts
  • Feeling guilty, ashamed, or depressed after gambling sessions
  • Neglecting responsibilities at work, school, or home due to gambling activities
  • Thinking constantly about gambling, planning your next session, or reliving past wins

If you answered "yes" to three or more of these questions, you may have a gambling problem and should seek help immediately.

fb001 Responsible Gaming Tools

We provide several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling activities. All fb001 players can access these features through their account settings or by contacting our customer support team.

Deposit Limits

Set maximum amounts you can deposit into your fb001 account over specified time periods. Available limits include:

  • Daily Deposit Limit: Maximum amount you can deposit in any 24-hour period
  • Weekly Deposit Limit: Maximum amount you can deposit over a rolling 7-day period
  • Monthly Deposit Limit: Maximum amount you can deposit over a rolling 30-day period

Deposit limits take effect immediately when you set them. If you want to increase a limit, there's a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before the increase takes effect. Decreases to limits apply immediately.

Loss Limits

Control the maximum amount you can lose over daily, weekly, or monthly periods. When you reach your loss limit, you'll be unable to place additional wagers until the next period begins. Loss limits help prevent chasing losses, one of the most dangerous gambling behaviors.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum duration for your gaming sessions. fb001 will automatically log you out when your session time limit is reached, helping you maintain healthy gaming habits and avoid excessive play. You can set session limits from 30 minutes to 8 hours.

Reality Check Reminders

Enable periodic pop-up reminders that show you how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost. Reality checks help you stay aware of time spent gambling and make informed decisions about continuing to play.

Cooling-Off Period

Take a temporary break from fb001 by activating a cooling-off period. Your account will be suspended for the duration you choose:

  • 24 hours
  • 7 days
  • 30 days

During the cooling-off period, you cannot access your account, deposit funds, or place wagers. This gives you time to step back and reassess your gambling behavior.

Self-Exclusion

If you feel your gambling is becoming a serious problem, you can self-exclude from fb001 for an extended period or permanently. Self-exclusion options include:

  • 6-Month Self-Exclusion: Your account will be closed for six months with no option to reopen
  • 1-Year Self-Exclusion: Your account will be closed for one full year
  • 5-Year Self-Exclusion: Your account will be closed for five years
  • Permanent Self-Exclusion: Your account will be permanently closed with no option to reopen

How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools

To set limits or activate self-exclusion, log into your fb001 account and navigate to Account Settings > Responsible Gaming, or contact our customer support team via live chat or email at [email protected]. Our team is available 24/7 to assist you.

Self-exclusion requests are processed immediately and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. We will not send you any promotional materials during your self-exclusion period.

PAGCOR Responsible Gaming Program

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) operates a comprehensive Responsible Gaming Program designed to promote safe gambling practices across all licensed gaming operators in the Philippines, including fb001.

PAGCOR's program includes player education initiatives, industry training for gaming personnel, research into gambling behavior patterns among Filipino players, and coordination with mental health professionals to provide support services. As a PAGCOR-licensed operator, fb001 fully participates in and supports these initiatives.

If you wish to self-exclude from all PAGCOR-licensed gaming establishments and online platforms (not just fb001), you can register with PAGCOR's Self-Exclusion Program by visiting any PAGCOR satellite office or contacting PAGCOR directly. This broader self-exclusion applies to casinos in Metro Manila, Cebu, Clark, and other locations nationwide.

What to Expect When Seeking Help

When you contact a gambling helpline or counselor, you can expect confidential, non-judgmental support. Professionals can help you understand your gambling behavior, develop strategies to control or stop gambling, address underlying mental health issues, repair relationships damaged by gambling, and create a plan for financial recovery.

Treatment for problem gambling may include individual counseling, group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family therapy, or participation in support groups like Gamblers Anonymous. Many Filipinos have found success through these evidence-based treatments.

For Friends and Family

If someone you care about may have a gambling problem, it's important to approach the situation with compassion and understanding. Problem gambling affects the entire family, and your support can be crucial in helping your loved one seek treatment.

How to Help Someone with a Gambling Problem

  • Express Concern Without Judgment: Let them know you're worried about their gambling behavior without criticizing or blaming them
  • Provide Information: Share resources about problem gambling and treatment options available in the Philippines
  • Offer Support: Let them know you'll support them if they decide to seek help
  • Set Boundaries: Protect yourself financially - don't lend money or pay gambling debts
  • Seek Support for Yourself: Contact support services to help you cope with the impact of a loved one's gambling problem
  • Encourage Professional Help: Suggest they contact a helpline or counselor who specializes in gambling addiction

Remember that you cannot force someone to stop gambling - they must make that decision themselves. However, your support and encouragement can make a significant difference in their recovery journey.

Underage Gambling Prevention

fb001 is committed to preventing underage gambling and protecting minors from gambling-related harm. We implement strict age verification procedures and encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in monitoring their children's online activities.

Tips for Parents and Guardians

  • Talk to your children about the risks of gambling and set clear rules about online activities
  • Monitor your children's internet usage and be aware of the websites they visit
  • Keep credit cards, GCash, Maya, and other payment methods secure and out of children's reach
  • Use parental control software to block access to gambling websites
  • Be a positive role model - if you gamble, do so responsibly and never in front of children
  • Report any suspected underage gambling to fb001 immediately at [email protected]

Our Ongoing Commitment

fb001 continuously reviews and improves our responsible gaming measures to ensure we're providing the best possible protection for Filipino players. We regularly train our customer service staff on problem gambling recognition and intervention, monitor player behavior for signs of problematic gambling patterns, collaborate with responsible gaming organizations and mental health professionals in the Philippines, and invest in research to better understand and prevent gambling-related harm.

We believe that responsible gaming is not just a regulatory requirement - it's a moral obligation. Every member of the fb001 team is committed to creating a safe gaming environment where entertainment never comes at the cost of wellbeing.
