Age Restriction

21+ Age Requirement — Non-Negotiable at fb0001

The minimum legal age to participate in casino-style gambling in the Philippines is 21 years old, as mandated by PAGCOR regulations. At fb0001, this is not a policy we take lightly or apply selectively — it is a hard technical requirement enforced at the account level.

Every new fb0001 account goes through a mandatory KYC (Know Your Customer) verification process before accessing deposit, withdrawal, or real-money gameplay features. This process requires submission of a valid Philippine government-issued photo ID — such as a passport, driver's licence, UMID, PhilSys ID, or SSS ID — alongside a real-time selfie photograph. Accounts cannot access full functionality until age is confirmed as 21 or above.

Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age will be immediately and permanently suspended, all funds will be handled in accordance with PAGCOR regulatory requirements, and the matter may be referred to the relevant Philippine authorities. If you are a parent or guardian who believes a minor has created an fb0001 account, contact our support team immediately via live chat.

Your Control Tools

The fb0001 Responsible Gaming Toolkit — All at Your Fingertips

Every fb0001 account includes a full suite of responsible gaming controls, accessible directly from your account settings. No need to call support or wait for approval — most tools activate immediately.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit ceiling directly from your fb0001 account dashboard. Reductions take effect immediately. Increases are subject to a mandatory cooling-off period — giving you time to reconsider before raising your spending cap. This is probably the single most effective budgeting tool available at fb0001 and we encourage every player to set one.

Loss Limits

Define the maximum net loss you are comfortable with over a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Once your loss limit is reached, fb0001 prevents further real-money gameplay for the defined period — even if your account has a remaining balance from deposits. Like deposit limits, reductions apply immediately while increases require a cooling-off window.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum continuous play session duration. When your limit is reached, your session will be automatically ended and you will be logged out. You can also configure session reminders — pop-up notifications at set intervals (e.g., every 30 or 60 minutes) — so you always know how long you have been playing without having to check the clock yourself.

Reality Checks

Enable reality check notifications that appear as an on-screen overlay at regular intervals during your session. Each reality check displays your current net gaming position (wins minus losses for the session), total time played, and a prompt asking whether you want to continue. This is a proven tool for helping players maintain perspective during extended sessions.

Take a Break (Cool-Off)

Need a short pause without going through full self-exclusion? fb0001's Take a Break feature lets you temporarily suspend your account for 24 hours, 48 hours, one week, or one month. During a break period you cannot log in, deposit, or play. Breaks take effect immediately and cannot be reversed once activated — they must run their full duration.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is fb0001's most serious responsible gaming tool, designed for players who recognise that their gambling has become problematic and who need a firm boundary. Once activated, self-exclusion is platform-wide and takes effect immediately — with no reversal during the exclusion period. See full details in the Self-Exclusion section below.

Self-Exclusion

Self-Exclusion at fb0001 — Firm, Immediate, Effective

Self-exclusion is for players who have made a decision that they need to stop gambling for a defined period — or permanently. At fb0001, self-exclusion is not something you have to fight for or wait days for. You can activate it yourself directly from your account settings, and it takes effect the moment you confirm it.

Once activated, your fb0001 account is immediately locked. You will not be able to log in, deposit, access games, or receive promotional communications for the duration of your exclusion period. fb0001 also removes your account from marketing databases upon exclusion activation, so you will not receive emails or SMS messages encouraging you to return during your exclusion period.

Exclusions Cannot Be Reversed Early. This is by design. If you could easily undo a self-exclusion, it would undermine its purpose. Once you initiate self-exclusion for a selected period, that exclusion runs its full duration without exception. If you require help managing an exclusion request, contact fb0001 support via live chat.

Available Self-Exclusion Durations

1 Week 1 Month 3 Months 6 Months 1 Year Permanent

Permanent self-exclusion is irreversible. If you choose this option, your fb0001 account will be closed permanently and you will not be permitted to create a new account at any future date.

How to Activate Self-Exclusion

1
Log In to Your fb0001 Account

Access your account through the fb0001 website on desktop or mobile. Self-exclusion can be initiated from any device at any time — including outside of business hours, on weekends, and on Philippine public holidays.

2
Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming

Navigate to the Responsible Gaming section within your account settings. All responsible gaming tools — including limits, reality checks, breaks, and self-exclusion — are located in this section.

3
Select Self-Exclusion and Choose Duration

Select the Self-Exclusion option and choose your preferred exclusion period from the available durations. Read the confirmation notice carefully — it explains exactly what will happen and that the decision is final for the selected period.

4
Confirm — Exclusion Activates Immediately

Confirm your request. Your account is locked immediately and you will be logged out. A confirmation email will be sent to your registered email address. Your account remains in exclusion status for the full period with no option to override.

If you are in a crisis and cannot access the self-exclusion feature, contact fb0001 live chat support immediately. Our support agents are available 24/7 and can initiate a self-exclusion on your behalf without delay.

Self-Assessment

Ask Yourself These Honest Questions

Problem gambling rarely announces itself all at once — it tends to creep up gradually. These questions are not a clinical diagnostic tool, but they can help you reflect on whether your relationship with gambling is still healthy. If you answer "yes" to several of these, it may be time to use fb0001's responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.

01

Do you find yourself spending more time or money gambling than you originally planned, even when you told yourself you'd stop after a certain amount?

02

Have you ever chased losses — meaning you kept gambling specifically to try to win back money you had already lost in a previous session?

03

Do you feel restless, irritable, or anxious when you try to cut down or stop gambling? Do you feel a strong urge to return even after deciding to take a break?

04

Has gambling affected your finances — for example, borrowing money, skipping bills, using funds meant for rent, food, or family obligations to fund gambling?

05

Have you concealed the extent of your gambling from family members, close friends, or a partner? Do you feel the need to be secretive about how often or how much you play?

06

Has gambling affected your work, studies, relationships, or mental health in a way that concerns you or the people close to you?

Warning Signs

Recognising When Gambling Becomes a Problem

These are specific behavioural patterns that researchers and mental health professionals associate with problem gambling. Recognising them in your own behaviour — or in a family member — is an important first step toward getting help.

Gambling with money needed for essential expenses like rent, groceries, utilities, or family needs
Increasing bet amounts over time to get the same level of excitement — a tolerance effect similar to substance dependency
Failed repeated attempts to cut down or quit gambling despite a genuine desire to do so
Using gambling as a way to escape stress, anxiety, depression, or personal problems rather than for entertainment
Lying to family members, friends, or employers about the frequency or financial impact of gambling
Borrowing money from others — or resorting to selling personal items — to fund gambling sessions
Neglecting important responsibilities at work, in education, or at home because of gambling time or gambling-related stress
Feeling guilt, shame, or remorse after gambling but returning to it anyway, often seeking to "fix" the feeling by winning

You Are Not Alone. Problem gambling affects people from all walks of life across the Philippines — from Manila and Makati to Cebu, Davao, and beyond. Recognising the problem is not a weakness — it takes real courage. Help is available, and reaching out is the right move.

Healthy Habits

Tips for Keeping Gaming Fun at fb0001

Most fb0001 players enjoy online casino games, sabong, bingo, and sports betting as part of a balanced leisure life without any issues. These practical tips help keep it that way — whether you're a new player or someone who's been with fb0001 for a while.

None of these are complicated — they're just common-sense habits that experienced, healthy players tend to already follow. If you find them hard to maintain, that's a signal worth paying attention to.

Before your first bet of any session, decide the maximum amount you are willing to lose today. Not the amount you hope to win — the amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your regular life. Use fb0001's deposit limit tool to enforce this budget technically, so that discipline is built into the platform rather than left to willpower alone.

It's easy to lose track of time when you're in the flow of a good session. Use fb0001's session timer and reality check notifications to stay aware of how long you've been playing. Decide in advance when you'll stop — win or lose — and stick to it. Walking away when you're ahead feels good; walking away when you've hit your loss limit is equally important.

The house edge is real — it's a mathematical fact built into every casino game. Over a long enough period, the house wins more than players as a whole. That doesn't mean you can't win on any given session — you absolutely can, and plenty of fb0001 players do. But treating gambling as a reliable income source or an investment strategy is a mindset that tends to lead to problems.

Step away regularly, even mid-session. Get up, get some water, eat a meal, stretch, or chat with someone. Returning with a clear head leads to better decision-making and more enjoyable sessions. If you're playing late at night when you're tired, or when you're stressed or upset, that's a good time to call it for the day and come back refreshed.

Gaming is one form of leisure — alongside time with family and friends, hobbies, exercise, and everything else that makes life full. If you notice that gambling is crowding out other activities, or that you're thinking about gambling most of the time even when doing other things, these are signals worth taking seriously. A healthy gaming life fits naturally alongside everything else rather than competing with it.

Chasing losses — continuing to play after losing specifically to try to win the money back — is one of the most common patterns in problem gambling and one of the most important to recognise in your own behaviour. Losses are a normal part of gambling. They are sunk costs. Continuing to play to recover them is a psychological trap, not a strategy. If you've hit your loss limit for the session, stop. Come back another day or not at all.
