While the vast majority of our players enjoy gaming without issues, we recognize that some individuals may develop unhealthy gaming habits that can negatively impact their lives, finances, and relationships.

Age Verification: Strictly 21 and Above
Philippine law requires that all participants in casino-style gaming activities must be at least 21 years of age. filbey Casino strictly enforces this age requirement and has zero tolerance for underage gaming. When you register for an account, you are required to provide your date of birth and confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement.
We employ sophisticated age verification systems and may request government-issued identification documents to verify your age before you can make deposits, place bets, or withdraw winnings. Acceptable forms of identification include:
- Philippine Passport
- Philippine Driver's License
- Philippine National ID (PhilSys ID)
- Unified Multi-Purpose ID (UMID)
- Postal ID
- Voter's ID
Any user found to be under 21 years of age will have their account immediately suspended, all winnings forfeited, and deposits returned. We also work with parents and guardians to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you're a parent or guardian concerned about underage access, we recommend installing parental control software and monitoring internet usage on devices accessible to minors.
Parents and Guardians: We encourage you to use internet filtering and parental control software to prevent children and teenagers from accessing online gaming sites. Popular solutions include content filtering features built into Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices, as well as third-party applications like Net Nanny, Qustodio, and Norton Family.
Responsible Gaming Tools at filbey Casino
filbey Casino provides a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools that put you in control of your gaming activity. These tools are designed to help you set boundaries, monitor your behavior, and take breaks when needed. All tools are accessible through your account settings and can be activated or modified at any time.
Deposit Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the amount you can deposit into your filbey Casino account. Once you reach your limit, you won't be able to make additional deposits until the specified time period resets. Deposit limits help you control your spending and ensure gaming stays within your budget. You can decrease limits immediately, but increases require a 24-hour cooling-off period to take effect.
Loss Limits
Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on the net losses you're willing to accept. Your net loss is calculated as total deposits minus total withdrawals over the specified period. When you reach your loss limit, you won't be able to place additional bets until the period resets. Loss limits are an effective way to prevent chasing losses and ensure you never lose more than you can afford.
Session Time Limits
Set a maximum amount of time you want to spend gaming in a single session. When your session time limit is reached, you'll receive a notification and be automatically logged out of your account. Session time limits help prevent excessive gaming sessions and ensure you take regular breaks. You can choose limits ranging from 30 minutes to 12 hours.
Reality Checks
Enable periodic reminders that display how long you've been playing and how much you've won or lost during your current session. Reality checks appear as pop-up notifications at intervals you specify (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) and help you maintain awareness of your gaming activity and make informed decisions about whether to continue or take a break.
Take a Break (Cooling-Off Period)
If you feel you need a short break from gaming, you can activate a temporary self-exclusion period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this cooling-off period, you won't be able to access your account, play games, or make deposits. However, you can still contact customer support and request withdrawals of your remaining balance. Cooling-off periods cannot be reversed once activated.
Self-Exclusion
For players who need a longer break or want to stop gaming entirely, self-exclusion allows you to permanently or temporarily close your filbey Casino account for periods ranging from 6 months to permanent closure. During self-exclusion, you cannot access your account, receive marketing communications, or create new accounts. Self-exclusion is a serious commitment and cannot be reversed during the exclusion period. If you choose permanent self-exclusion, you can request account reopening after a minimum of 6 months, subject to a thorough review process.
To activate any of these responsible gaming tools, simply log in to your filbey Casino account, navigate to Account Settings, and select Responsible Gaming Tools. If you need assistance setting up these tools or have questions about how they work, our customer support team is available 24/7 via live chat.
Recognizing Problem Gaming
For most people, online gaming is a fun and harmless form of entertainment. However, for some individuals, gaming can become problematic and negatively impact their personal, financial, and social well-being. Problem gaming, also known as gambling addiction or compulsive gaming, is a recognized condition that can affect anyone regardless of age, background, or experience level.
It's important to be honest with yourself about your gaming habits and recognize warning signs early. If gaming is no longer fun and is causing stress, financial problems, or relationship issues, it may be time to seek help.
⚠️ Warning Signs of Problem Gaming
- Gaming with money you can't afford to lose or money needed for bills, rent, or essentials
- Spending more time and money on gaming than you originally intended
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or taking out loans to fund gaming activities
- Chasing losses by continuing to play in an attempt to win back money you've lost
- Lying to family, friends, or colleagues about the amount of time or money spent gaming
- Neglecting work, school, family responsibilities, or personal relationships because of gaming
- Feeling restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to cut down or stop gaming
- Using gaming as a way to escape problems, relieve stress, or cope with negative emotions
- Continuing to game despite negative consequences such as debt, relationship problems, or job loss
- Thinking about gaming constantly, even when not playing, and planning your next gaming session
- Feeling guilty, ashamed, or depressed about your gaming behavior
- Making repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back, or stop gaming
If you recognize several of these warning signs in yourself or someone you care about, it's important to take action. Problem gaming is a treatable condition, and help is available. The first step is acknowledging that there may be a problem and reaching out for support.
Tips for Healthy Gaming
filbey Casino encourages all players to adopt healthy gaming habits that keep the experience fun, entertaining, and within safe limits. Here are some practical tips for responsible gaming:
- Set a Budget and Stick to It: Decide in advance how much money you can afford to spend on gaming each week or month, and never exceed that amount. Treat gaming as entertainment with a cost, similar to going to the movies or dining out. Never game with money needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, food, or loan payments.
- Set Time Limits: Decide how long you want to spend gaming before you start playing, and stick to that time limit. Use the session time limit tool in your account settings to automatically log you out after your chosen duration. Take regular breaks during gaming sessions to maintain perspective.
- Never Chase Losses: Accept that losing is part of gaming. If you've lost the money you budgeted for gaming, stop playing. Trying to win back losses by continuing to play or increasing your bets rarely works and often leads to bigger losses and regret.
- Don't Game Under the Influence: Avoid gaming when you've been drinking alcohol or using substances that impair judgment. Impaired decision-making can lead to risky bets, overspending, and behavior you'll regret later.
- Keep Gaming in Balance: Make sure gaming doesn't interfere with other important areas of your life, including work, family, relationships, health, and hobbies. If gaming is taking priority over responsibilities or relationships, it's time to reassess your habits.
- Don't Use Gaming as a Solution: Gaming should not be used as a way to escape problems, cope with stress, or relieve feelings of depression or anxiety. If you're gaming to deal with negative emotions, consider speaking with a mental health professional.
- Understand the Odds: Remember that casino games are designed with a house edge, meaning the odds are always in favor of the casino over the long term. You should never view gaming as a way to make money or solve financial problems.
- Take Regular Breaks: Use the cooling-off period tool if you feel you need a short break from gaming. A break can help you regain perspective and ensure gaming remains a healthy form of entertainment.
