Player Safety & Well-Being

Responsible Gaming
at FBM Emotion

Gaming at FBM Emotion should always be a fun, voluntary activity — not a source of financial stress or personal harm. This page explains the tools, guidelines, and support available to help every Filipino player stay in control.

Strictly for Adults Aged 21 and Above

Six Ways FBM Emotion Supports Responsible Play

These features are available to every account holder and are designed to keep your gaming experience within healthy limits.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum deposit amount per day, week, or month directly in your account settings. Once a limit is active, it cannot be increased immediately — a cooling-off period applies to any upward change, giving you time to reflect before adjusting.

Session Time Reminders

FBM Emotion can send you a notification when you have been playing for a set length of time. You decide the threshold — 30 minutes, one hour, or longer. The reminder is a prompt to check in with yourself, not an automatic session cut-off.

Self-Exclusion

If you want to take a complete break from gaming, self-exclusion is available through your account or by contacting support. The exclusion period locks your account from all deposits and play, and it cannot be reversed until the period ends.

Activity History

Your full deposit, withdrawal, and betting history is available in your account dashboard. Reviewing your actual activity — amounts deposited, time spent, results over the past week or month — is one of the most practical ways to stay self-aware.

Account Verification (KYC)

Identity verification is a required step before withdrawals. Beyond protecting your funds, KYC also confirms that every account holder is a real, verified adult — a baseline safeguard against underage access and identity misuse.

Support Team Access

The FBM Emotion support team can help you activate limits, initiate self-exclusion, or simply talk through a concern about your gaming habits. Reach us by email at [email protected] — we handle responsible gaming requests as a priority.


Playing Smart – What Responsible Gaming Really Means

For most players on FBM Emotion, gaming is entertainment. You place a bet on a PBA game, spin a few slots after work in Quezon City, or join a live baccarat table for a couple of hours on a weekend in Cebu — and that's the end of it. It stays within a budget, doesn't affect daily life, and doesn't carry over into stress or regret.

Responsible gaming is about keeping it that way. It doesn't mean avoiding gaming altogether — it means staying aware of how you're playing, making informed decisions about how much to spend, and recognising when you need to step back. The tools on this page exist to support that awareness, not to make gaming harder for those who are already playing sensibly.

Gaming Is Entertainment, Not Income

No game on FBM Emotion — whether that's live casino, sports betting, slots, or eBingo — comes with a guaranteed return. Outcomes are determined by certified random systems and the statistical edge built into each game type. Over time, the mathematics of online gaming mean that the house maintains an edge. This is standard across all legitimate online gaming platforms.

This is not meant to discourage you from playing — it's simply something every player should understand before they start. Treat your gaming budget the same way you'd treat money spent on a cinema ticket or a meal out: it's the cost of entertainment, and it's gone whether you enjoy the experience or not.

Setting a Budget That Works for You

Before you deposit, decide how much you are comfortable spending in a given period — whether that's per day, per week, or per month. Only use money that you genuinely have available for discretionary spending. Never fund a gaming deposit from money set aside for rent, groceries, bills, tuition, or any other essential expense.

FBM Emotion's deposit limit feature lets you formalise this decision in your account settings. Setting a limit in advance is significantly more effective than relying on willpower in the moment, especially during an active gaming session when emotions can affect judgment.

Chasing Losses Is a Pattern to Watch

One of the clearest warning signs of problem gambling is chasing losses — depositing more after a losing session in the hope of recovering what was lost. This behaviour almost always makes things worse. The outcome of the next bet is not influenced by what happened in the previous session. Each game is independent.

If you find yourself thinking "I just need one more deposit to get it back," that's the moment to stop, close the app, and give yourself time away. The FBM Emotion self-exclusion tool can help you create that distance if you feel you cannot stop on your own.

A practical rule: If you have hit your pre-set budget for the session, stop — regardless of whether you are up or down. This single habit is one of the most effective ways to keep gaming enjoyable over the long term.

Quick Check – Is Your Gaming Still Healthy?

If you answer "yes" to several of these questions, it may be time to use the self-exclusion tool or contact support.

1 Have you spent more than you intended on your last few sessions?
2 Are you depositing to try to win back money you have already lost?
3 Has gaming started affecting your sleep, work, or relationships?
4 Do you feel restless or irritable when you are not playing?
5 Have you kept your gaming activity secret from family or friends?
6 Have you borrowed money or used savings to fund gaming?

If any of these apply to you, please contact support immediately to discuss self-exclusion or other available options.

Warning Signs
  • Playing with money needed for essential expenses
  • Increasing bet sizes to chase an exciting feeling
  • Neglecting work, school, or family commitments
  • Feeling unable to stop even when you want to
  • Lying to others about how much you have spent

Your Account Tools for Responsible Play

All of these are available once you are logged in to your FBM Emotion account. They are free, immediate, and there to use whenever you need them.

Setting a Deposit Limit

Go to Account Settings and choose Responsible Gaming. Select a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine Peso. The limit activates immediately. If you later want to lower the limit, it takes effect right away. Increasing a limit requires a mandatory review period before it is applied.

Activating a Session Timer

In the Responsible Gaming section of your account, set the session duration after which you want to receive a reminder notification. The platform will alert you when you reach that threshold so you can decide consciously whether to continue or step away.

Requesting Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion can be requested via Account Settings or by contacting support at [email protected]. Once active, you will not be able to deposit or play for the chosen period. At the end of the exclusion, a further request is needed to reactivate — the account does not reopen automatically.

Reviewing Your Activity History

Your full transaction history is available under Account Activity. Filter by date range to see your total deposits, withdrawals, and net gaming spend over any period. Reviewing this regularly — weekly or monthly — is a straightforward way to stay honest about your actual spending patterns.


Responsible Gaming – Frequently Asked Questions

FBM Emotion is strictly for players aged 21 and above. This is a firm platform requirement enforced through account registration checks and KYC identity verification. If we find that an account belongs to someone under 21, the account will be closed immediately and access permanently restricted.

Log in to your FBM Emotion account and go to Account Settings, then select the Responsible Gaming section. From there you can set a daily, weekly, or monthly deposit cap in Philippine Peso. The limit applies immediately after you save it. Lowering a limit is instant; increasing it is subject to a mandatory cooling-off period.

No. Once self-exclusion is active, it runs for the full period you selected. This is intentional — the purpose of self-exclusion is to create a real barrier during a period when you feel your gaming is becoming unmanageable. The account does not reopen automatically when the period ends; you need to make a separate request to reactivate it.

No. Online gaming — including sports betting, live casino, slots, and eBingo — is a form of entertainment, not a reliable income source. All games have a statistical edge that favours the house over time. There is no strategy, system, or pattern that guarantees a return. Approaching gaming as entertainment with a fixed budget is the healthiest and most sustainable way to enjoy it.

The first step is to stop playing and activate self-exclusion through your account or by contacting our support team at [email protected]. Self-exclusion immediately blocks your access to deposits and gaming. From there, we strongly encourage you to speak with someone you trust — a family member, friend, or professional counsellor — about what you are experiencing. Acknowledging the issue is the most important step toward managing it.

If you are currently subject to self-exclusion on another gaming platform — or if you know that your gambling has become problematic — we strongly discourage registering or using FBM Emotion. Our responsible gaming tools are designed to support players who are making a conscious, informed choice to play within healthy limits. If you are in a period of problem gambling, please seek support and prioritise your wellbeing over gaming activity on any platform.
