fchai Responsible Gaming

At fchai, we believe that gaming should always be fun, safe, and within your control. Our responsible gaming program is built around protecting Filipino players — because your well-being matters more than any jackpot.

Gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, please use the tools on this page or reach out to fchai's 24/7 support team. Help is always available.

Online gaming is one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the Philippines today — from Makati to Cebu, Davao to Quezon City, millions of Filipinos enjoy the thrill of casino games, slots, and live dealer tables. fchai is proud to be part of that experience. But we also know that for some players, what starts as harmless fun can become something harder to manage.

That's why responsible gaming isn't just a checkbox for fchai — it's a core part of how we operate. Every feature on our platform, from deposit limits to self-exclusion, is designed to keep you in control. We work within the regulatory framework of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) and follow best practices for player protection so that fchai remains a safe space for everyone who plays here.

This page outlines everything you need to know about responsible gaming at fchai: the tools available to you, how to recognize problem gambling, where to get help, and what our commitments are as a platform. Please read it carefully — and remember, gambling is addictive. Know when to stop.

"Gambling is addictive.

21+
Age Requirement

Strict 21+ Age Policy

Philippine law and PAGCOR regulations require that all online casino players be at least 21 years of age. fchai enforces this strictly. During registration, every player must provide a valid government-issued ID for age and identity verification. Accounts found to belong to players under 21 are immediately suspended and any funds are returned.

We also encourage parents and guardians to use parental control software to prevent minors from accessing online gaming platforms. If you suspect that a minor has registered on fchai, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected] — we will act on it right away.

Your Player Protection Tools

All of these tools are available directly from your fchai account settings — no waiting, no forms to fill out, instant effect.

Deposit Limits

Set a maximum amount you can deposit into your fchai account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Once your limit is reached, no further deposits are accepted until the period resets. Lowering your limit takes effect immediately; raising it requires a 7-day cooling period.

Session Time Limits

Set a maximum session duration so that fchai automatically logs you out after a defined period of continuous play. You can also enable session reminders that pop up at regular intervals — a gentle nudge to take a break, grab some water, and step away from the screen.

Cooling-Off Period

Need a short break? A cooling-off period temporarily suspends your fchai account for a period you choose — from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. During this time, you cannot log in, deposit, or place bets. This is ideal if you feel your gaming is getting out of hand but you're not ready for a permanent break.

Self-Exclusion

Self-exclusion is the most powerful tool available. You can exclude yourself from fchai for a minimum of 6 months, up to 5 years, or permanently. Once activated, your account is locked and you will not be able to register a new account. fchai will also suppress all marketing communications to you during the exclusion period.

Loss Limits

Set a cap on how much you are willing to lose within a given period. When your loss limit is reached, fchai will prevent further wagering until the period resets. This tool helps you stay within a budget you're comfortable with and prevents chasing losses — one of the most common signs of problem gambling.

Marketing Opt-Out

You can opt out of all promotional communications from fchai at any time — including bonus offers, free spin notifications, and event invitations. We will never send you marketing messages if you have opted out or if you are under a self-exclusion period. Your peace of mind comes first.

How to Activate These Tools

Setting up responsible gaming limits on fchai takes less than two minutes. Here's how:

1

4
Set your limits and confirm

Choose the tool you want to activate, enter your preferred values, and confirm. Restrictions take effect immediately. You'll receive a confirmation email to your registered address.

Do You Have a Gambling Problem?

Honest self-reflection is the first step. If you answer "yes" to three or more of the questions below, we strongly encourage you to use fchai's responsible gaming tools or seek professional support.

Do you spend more money on gambling than you originally planned?
Do you feel restless or irritable when you try to cut down or stop gambling?
Have you tried to stop gambling but found yourself unable to?
Do you gamble to escape problems, stress, or negative feelings?
Have you lied to family or friends about how much you gamble?
Have you borrowed money or sold belongings to fund gambling?
Has gambling caused problems in your relationships, work, or finances?
Do you chase losses — gambling more to try to win back money you've lost?

Warning Signs to Watch For

Problem gambling doesn't always look the same for everyone. Here are some common warning signs that gaming may be becoming harmful:

Financial stress — Struggling to pay bills, borrowing money, or hiding financial problems from loved ones because of gambling losses.
Emotional changes — Feeling anxious, depressed, or irritable when not gambling, or using gambling as a way to cope with stress or loneliness.
Neglecting responsibilities — Missing work, school, or family commitments in Manila, Cebu, or wherever you are because of time spent gambling online.
Escalating bets — Needing to wager larger and larger amounts in pesos to feel the same level of excitement or satisfaction.
Secrecy and isolation — Hiding your gambling activity from family and friends, or withdrawing from social activities to spend more time playing.
