Our Commitment to Safe Play

fbm is designed as a mobile entertainment platform for players across the Philippines. We take our responsibility seriously — gaming on fbm should always be a leisure activity, never a source of financial stress or personal harm. We actively encourage all registered users to stay informed, set personal boundaries, and reach out for support whenever needed.

Time Awareness

It is easy to lose track of time when you are enjoying games on your mobile device. fbm encourages all players to set a personal time limit before each session and stick to it. Taking regular breaks helps you stay refreshed and keeps gaming in its proper place as a leisure activity. If you find yourself playing longer than intended on a regular basis, that is a signal worth paying attention to. Healthy gaming habits start with simple, consistent awareness of how long you spend on the platform each day.

Budget Management

Before you start playing, decide on a fixed amount in Philippine pesos that you are comfortable spending as entertainment expense — and treat it the same way you would a cinema ticket or a meal out. Never chase losses by depositing more than you originally planned, as this is one of the most common patterns that leads to problematic gaming behaviour. Keep your gaming budget separate from money set aside for rent, bills, food, and other essential needs. If you reach your limit for the day, log out and return another time when your budget allows. Responsible spending is the foundation of a genuinely enjoyable gaming experience on fbm.

Emotional Check-In

Gaming should be something you do when you are in a calm, positive state of mind — not as a way to escape stress, anxiety, or personal difficulties. Playing while upset or under pressure can lead to impulsive decisions and spending beyond your means. If you notice that you feel irritable when you are not playing, or that gaming is affecting your relationships or work, these are important warning signs to take seriously. Stepping away from the platform for a few days can provide valuable perspective and help you reset your relationship with gaming. Your mental wellbeing always comes first, and fbm supports you in making choices that reflect that priority.

Warning Signs to Watch For

Recognising early warning signs is one of the most effective ways to prevent gaming from becoming a problem. The following indicators may suggest that your gaming habits need a closer look. If several of these apply to you, we strongly encourage you to take a break and seek support.

Behavioural Signals

  • Spending more time or money than you planned
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not playing
  • Hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
  • Borrowing money specifically to fund gaming sessions
  • Neglecting work, school, or household responsibilities
  • Repeatedly trying to win back money you have lost

What You Can Do

  • Take an honest break from the platform for several days
  • Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or counsellor
  • Contact our support team to request a temporary account pause
  • Review your recent transaction history to understand your spending
  • Set stricter personal deposit and session limits going forward
  • Reach out to a professional helpline in the Philippines for guidance

Player Protection Tools

fbm provides practical tools to help you stay in control of your gaming activity at all times. These features are available to all registered users in the Philippines and can be accessed through your account settings or by contacting our support team directly.

Session Pause

Request a temporary pause on your account for a set number of days to give yourself a planned break from gaming without permanently closing your account.

Deposit Awareness

Keep track of your total deposits in Philippine pesos through your account history. Reviewing this regularly helps you stay aware of your actual spending over time.
