At Filbit, we believe that responsible gaming is not just a policy — it's a commitment we make to every player on our platform. Whether you're spinning the reels on Jurassic Kingdom, playing a hand of Tongits Go, or joining a live dealer table, the experience should always feel enjoyable and in control. The moment it stops feeling that way, we want to help.
Problem gambling is a real concern in the Philippines and across the world. Filbit takes this seriously. We've designed our responsible gaming framework around the needs of Filipino players — from Manila to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City — giving everyone access to practical tools that make it easier to play safely and within their means.
This page explains everything you need to know about responsible gaming at Filbit: the tools available to you, how to recognise warning signs, how to set limits, and how to get help if you or someone you know needs it.
What Is Responsible Gaming?
Responsible gaming means approaching online gaming as a form of entertainment — something you do for fun, with money you can afford to spend, and time you've consciously set aside for it. It means understanding that the house always has an edge, that losses are part of the game, and that chasing losses is never a good strategy.
For most players, gaming stays fun and manageable. But for some, it can become a problem — affecting finances, relationships, and mental health. Filbit's responsible gaming tools are here to help all players stay on the right side of that line, and to provide a clear path to support for those who need it.
Recognising Problem Gambling
Problem gambling doesn't always look the same for everyone. Sometimes it
develops gradually, and it can be hard to notice when entertainment has crossed into something more serious. Here are some common warning signs to watch out for:
- Spending more money on gaming than you originally planned or can afford
- Chasing losses — continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've lost
- Lying to family or friends about how much time or money you spend on gaming
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when you're not playing
- Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal health because of gaming
- Borrowing money — from friends, family, or through loans — to fund your gaming
- Using gaming as a way to escape stress, depression, or personal problems
- Feeling unable to stop or cut back even when you want to
If any of these sound familiar, it does not mean you are a bad person — it means you may need some support. Filbit's tools and resources are here for exactly that reason, and reaching out is always the right move.

Have you ever hidden your gaming activity or the amount you spend from people close to you?
5
Have you ever borrowed money or sold something to fund your gaming?
6
Do you find it difficult to stop playing even when you've decided to?
7
Has gaming ever affected your performance at work, school, or in your daily responsibilities?

Responsible Gaming Tools at Filbit
Filbit provides a full suite of responsible gaming tools that are free to use and available directly from your account settings. You do not need to justify your decision to use them — they are there for any player who wants more control over their gaming activity.
How to Activate Responsible Gaming Tools
All responsible gaming tools are accessible directly from your Filbit account. Once logged in, navigate to your account settings and look for the Responsible Gaming section. From there, you can set deposit limits, activate session timers, request a cool-off period, or initiate self-exclusion. If you have any difficulty finding or using these tools, our support team is available around the clock to assist you.
Support for Players in the Philippines
If you feel that your gaming has become a problem, please know that help is available. Filbit encourages all players who are struggling to reach out — whether to our own support team or to professional organisations that specialise in gambling-related issues.
In the Philippines, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) oversees responsible gaming initiatives for licensed operators. PAGCOR's responsible gaming programme provides resources, guidance, and support for players who need help managing their gaming behaviour. We encourage players to familiarise themselves with PAGCOR's responsible gaming resources through official government channels.
Additionally, mental health support is available through the National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) crisis hotline, which can be reached by searching for their current contact details through official Philippine government sources. You are not alone, and reaching out is a sign of strength — not weakness.
Protecting Minors
Filbit is strictly an adults-only platform. Players must be at least 21 years old to register and play. We conduct age verification checks during the registration and KYC process, and any account found to belong to a person under 21 will be immediately closed and any funds returned.
If you share a device with younger family members, we strongly recommend using parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming sites. Keep your Filbit login credentials private and never share your account with anyone, regardless of age.
Gaming as Entertainment — Not Income
This is worth saying clearly: online gaming is not a reliable source of income. Every game on Filbit — from European Roulette Pro to Live Casino tables — is designed with a house edge, meaning the platform has a mathematical advantage over time. Wins happen, and they can be exciting, but they are never guaranteed. Never play with money you cannot afford to lose, and never rely on gaming to pay bills, cover debts, or support your family.
Set a gaming budget that fits comfortably within your disposable income — money left over after rent, food, utilities, and other essentials are covered. Stick to that budget, use Filbit's deposit limit tools to enforce it, and treat any winnings as a bonus rather than an expectation.
