Gaming Should Always Be Entertainment — Not an Escape
Let's be real about something: the Philippines has a genuine and deep gambling culture. From the lotto lines at the sari-sari store to the bingo nights at the barangay hall, from cockfighting arenas in the provinces to the casino floors of Resorts World and City of Dreams in Entertainment City — Filipinos have always found joy in games of chance. There is nothing shameful about that. It is part of who we are as a culture.
But there is a meaningful difference between gambling as recreation and gambling as a compulsion. fb775 was built for the former. We want every Filipino player on our platform — whether they're grinding slots in Manila, playing bingo from Cebu, or catching a live baccarat session in Davao — to be playing because they genuinely want to, within amounts they can comfortably afford, for as long as is genuinely fun. When it stops being fun, that is the signal to step back.
fb775's responsible gaming tools exist to make that step back easier. Not to lecture anyone. Not to make you feel bad for enjoying games. But to give you the controls so that you — not the games — are always the one in charge of your experience.
The PAGCOR 21+ Rule and Why fb775 Takes It Seriously
PAGCOR — the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation — sets the minimum gambling age in the Philippines at 21 years old. This is not a recommendation. It is a legally mandated requirement for all gambling operators serving Filipino players, whether land-based or online. fb775 is fully aligned with this requirement and enforces it strictly from the moment of registration.
Every new fb775 account must be registered with a valid Philippine mobile number. Age is confirmed through the registration process and, where required, through government-issued ID verification. Any account found to belong to a person under 21 years of age — regardless of how it was registered — is immediately and permanently closed. All associated funds are handled in accordance with applicable regulations.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe a person under 21 has registered on fb775, please contact our support team immediately. We will investigate and act without delay.
Important: If gambling is causing financial stress, relationship strain, or emotional harm for you or someone you know in the Philippines, please contact fb775 support immediately to request a cooling-off period or self-exclusion. Our Filipino-speaking team will apply any protective measure you request without question and without judgment.
How to Use fb775's Responsible Gaming Tools
Every fb775 member has access to responsible gaming controls directly within their account. Here is how each tool works:
Deposit Limits: Go to Account Settings → Responsible Gaming → Deposit Limits. Set a daily, weekly, or monthly cap in Philippine Peso (₱). The limit takes effect immediately. Lowering your limit activates instantly. Raising your limit triggers a mandatory 24-hour waiting period. This asymmetry is intentional — it gives you time to reconsider.
Session Reminders: Under Responsible Gaming settings, enable session time alerts. Choose your preferred reminder interval. fb775 will display a notification when you reach your set play time. You can also configure automatic session termination, which logs you out at the set time regardless of any active game.
Cooling-Off Period: Select a cooling-off duration between 24 hours and 30 days. Your account will be locked for the entire period. Deposits, logins, and gameplay are blocked. Your balance is preserved safely and accessible when the cooling-off period ends.
Self-Exclusion: This is the most serious tool and fb775 applies it with that seriousness. Once you request self-exclusion, it takes effect immediately. Available durations are 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, or permanent exclusion. During the period, your account is closed, your registered contact details are placed on an exclusion list to prevent re-registration, and no exceptions or early reversals are made under any circumstances. Your account balance at the time of exclusion is returned to your registered payment method after applicable verification.
